October 22nd News
On October 21, hydrofluoric acid prices remained in a sideways‑to‑volatile trading range, with the 5‑day, 10‑day, and 20‑day moving averages all unchanged, indicating no clear directional momentum. On the 60‑day cycle, prices are near mid‑range lows, suggesting limited downside in the short term; however, on the 3‑month cycle, prices are at mid‑to‑high levels, and on the 1‑year cycle, they are at elevated levels, constraining medium‑ to long‑term upside potential. Meanwhile, upstream prices for fluorite and sulfuric acid have edged lower, easing cost‑based support, while downstream electronic‑grade hydrofluoric acid projects are showing mixed progress, warranting close attention to future supply dynamics.

3. Trend Direction Conclusion
The current trend in hydrofluoric acid prices is fluctuating. Reason: Over the past two trading days, the spot price of hydrofluoric acid and the 5-day/10-day/20-day moving average prices have all remained unchanged, with the three differences being 0, indicating no clear signals for either an increase or decrease. The price movement is currently in a sideways consolidation phase. 4. Positional space reference

6. Fundamental Additional References
The prices of upstream core raw materials, such as fluorspar and sulfuric acid, have both slightly decreased recently, leading to a slight relaxation in cost support. In the downstream sector, the completion of Sichuan Zhongfu Taihua's 60,000 tons/year electronic-grade anhydrous hydrogen fluoride project has been delayed, while Fujian Yaxin's 40,000 tons electronic-grade hydrogen fluoride expansion project has been approved for construction. Subsequent changes in the supply side will have a certain impact on prices.
