Cailian Press Watches for a Monday Rebound After Indices and Sentiment Weaken Together

Why Are Expectations Building for a Monday Rebound?

The indices rose before retreating on Friday and weakened more rapidly in the afternoon. Market sentiment cooled at the same time, some stocks at high levels fell in a delayed sell-off, and the number hitting their daily lower limits was second only to that on 23 March. Cailian Press viewed this as a trough in sentiment.
After the indices retreated, several broad-market ETFs received concentrated buying from large investors in the final 20 minutes before the close. Taking late-session flows, sentiment and news into account, Cailian Press expects a potential rebound on Monday.

Technology stocks diverged sharply: some individual PCB stocks had earnings support and performed relatively strongly, while other subsectors were among the biggest decliners. The robotics sector remained active, and commercial aerospace was viewed as a theme that could catch up with robotics.
Sheep-themed stocks rose collectively, driven by quantitative buying, but Baiyang Investment Group hitting its lower limit near the close already showed signs of divergence. Cailian Press expects the sector to diverge on Monday, while considering the leading stocks still worth watching.

Cailian Press observed that its performance after successive limit-up sessions has gradually strengthened and is watching whether it can sustain that strength on Monday.
