Research Desk Order Flow & Session Note
Desk order-flow tracking shows Hang Seng (HSI) holding firm at 24,315.92 (-0.98%) following a MSS at 24,524.63, while real-money bids continue to defend value relative to the 23,363.79 equilibrium pivot. Primary Bullish Order Block (+OB) demand is stacked between 22,928.27–23,088.14, whereas overhead supply sits near 25,252.07–25,394.60. 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 23,952.32 keeps the expansion path open toward 24,861.32 into the next session.

Research Desk Order Flow & Session Note
On the Straits Times (STI) tape (5,296.28, +0.72%), overhead supply continues to cap relief bounces after a BOS at 5,362.72 around the 4,600.44 50% Equilibrium threshold. Active Bearish Order Block (-OB) supply is defending 5,414.66–5,428.88, leaving downside liquidity exposed toward the 4,995.83–5,025.92 demand zone. 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 5,365.29 preserves the drawdown trajectory toward 5,172.06.
