The session across Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Singapore resolved balanced two-way rotational. Recap below. Following up on our morning pre-market levels, today's tape resolved with 1 assets defending bullish structure and 1 remaining under seller control. HSI settled at 24,557.04 (+0.44%), with STI (+1.62%) leading relative strength and HSI (+0.44%) absorbing the heaviest session distribution.
What Carried Through & What Changes for Tomorrow: Today's price action respected the outer Order Block boundaries on the majority of tracked setups, with HSI holding above structural demand while STI faced rejection near overhead supply. Going into the next session, watch the updated 50% Equilibrium pivots and Fair Value Gap (FVG) imbalances below — those levels define whether today's close transitions into trend continuation or a liquidity sweep reversal.

Research Desk Order Flow & Session Note
Hang Seng (HSI) (24,557.04, +0.44%) maintains a constructive institutional footprint after confirming a MSS at 24,524.63, with price operating in the Premium zone (5.1% from the 23,363.79 50% Equilibrium baseline). Pullbacks into the 22,928.27–23,088.14 Bullish Order Block are being monitored for absorption, while 25,252.07–25,394.60 marks the overhead liquidity ceiling. An unmitigated Bullish Fair Value Gap (23,919.50–24,349.30) provides an additional magnet for dip-buying rebalancing. Session Follow-Up: Intraday price action respected the bullish structure; holding above 24,158.82 keeps the expansion path open toward 25,273.84 into the next session.

Research Desk Order Flow & Session Note
Desk tracking flags bearish displacement on Straits Times (STI) at 5,262.99 (+1.62%); the recent BOS at 5,362.72 keeps sellers in control across the Premium regime (4,600.44 midpoint). Any intraday retest into the 5,414.66–5,428.88 Bearish Order Block faces overhead distribution, with 4,995.83–5,025.92 acting as the primary downside magnet. An open Bearish Fair Value Gap (5,227.16–5,406.25) reinforces overhead supply on relief rallies. Session Follow-Up: Sellers defended overhead supply throughout the session; staying below 5,331.60 preserves the drawdown trajectory toward 5,139.50.
