On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at HK$9.57 and HK$9.48. There is a natural risk involved when a stock is testing a support level, since if this is broken, the stock then may fall to the next support level.

Our recommended stop-loss: HK$9.70 (-3.97%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 13 days ago.)
