October 20th, news
On October 19, the price of hydrofluoric acid maintained a volatile pattern, with the market in a strong consolidation phase (bullish). The 5-day and 10-day moving average differences were unchanged from the previous day, while the 20-day moving average difference turned from negative to positive. However, the signals from the various moving averages have not yet formed a unified directional guide, and the conditions for determining a clear upward or downward trend are not yet met. Upstream, the price of fluorspar weakened slightly, and downstream, the operating rate of refrigerants was low, with no clear unilateral driver for supply and demand. In terms of different time frames, the price is at a medium-low level on a 60-day basis, with limited short-term downside; it is at a medium-high level on a 3-month basis, and at a high level on a 1-year basis, limiting long-term upside potential.

2. Signal status determination
Currently, this is a strong consolidation signal within a choppy market, leaning bullish.
3. Trend direction conclusion
The current trend in hydrofluoric acid prices is fluctuating. The reasons are: the 5-day and 10-day average differences remained unchanged from the previous day, while the 20-day average difference turned from negative to positive. The changes in these three average differences are not entirely consistent, failing to meet the criteria for a clear upward or downward trend. Additionally, with a slight decline in the upstream fluorspar prices and a low operating rate in the downstream refrigerant industry, there is no significant unilateral driver on either the supply or demand side. Therefore, the trend is judged to be fluctuating.
4. Positional Space Reference
60-day cycle: Prices are at a mid-to-low level (Tier 2), with limited room for short-term declines. 3-month cycle: Prices are at a mid-to-high level (Tier 4). 1-year cycle: Prices are at a high level (Tier 5), with limited upside potential over the long term.
