How to Read the Trend Chart

The real-time market trend chart, also known as the intraday trend chart, displays the following key elements:

1. Red and Green Bars

   • These bars reflect the strength of index movements (up or down).

   • Red bars appear above the baseline when the market rises. More and taller red bars indicate stronger upward momentum; shrinking bars suggest weakening buying pressure.

   • Green bars appear below the baseline when the market falls. More and longer green bars indicate stronger downward momentum; shortening bars suggest easing selling pressure.

2. Thick Horizontal Line

   • Represents the previous trading day’s closing index level.

   • Acts as a divider:

     • Above the line = Market is in an upward zone.

     • Below the line = Market is in a downward zone.

3. White Curve and Yellow Curve

   • White Curve: The weighted market index (official SSE Index, accounting for market capitalization).

   • Yellow Curve: The unweighted index (all stocks equally impact the index, regardless of share issuance volume).

   Interpreting the curves:

   • During an uptrend:

     • If the yellow curve is above the white curve, small-cap stocks (low issuance volume) are outperforming.

     • If the yellow curve is below the white curve, large-cap stocks (weighted shares) are leading the rally.

   • During a downtrend:

     • If the yellow curve stays above the white curve, small-cap stocks are declining less than large-caps.

     • If the white curve exceeds the yellow curve, small-caps are falling more sharply.

4. Yellow Volume Bars

   • Show trading volume per minute (in lots).

   • The leftmost extended bar represents auction volume; subsequent bars update every minute.

   • Longer bars = Higher trading volume; shorter bars = Lower volume.

5. Display Box

   • Shows numbers or letters (e.g., entering stock code 600602 for "Vacuum Electron" displays the corresponding digits).

6. Red and Green Boxes

   • Red box = Buying pressure; Green box = Selling pressure.

   • A longer red box signals stronger buying interest, pushing the index upward.

   • A longer green box indicates heavier selling pressure, driving the index downward.
