Although the decline is small, it has been weakening for several consecutive trading days. The MACD daily line has formed a death cross signal below the zero axis, confirming a medium-term bearish trend pattern. The trading volume was approximately HKD 5.95 million, indicating a low-volume state, showing that both buyers and sellers in the market are not active, with bulls lacking the willingness to enter and bears not aggressively shorting, resulting in an overall quiet trading atmosphere.
