Financials led rally yesterday caught Chinese ADRs on fire, too. This week has been rewarding for China stock investors so far. As the following table displays, 38 Chinese ADRs are on the black vs. 8 on the red since last Friday. We are here to find stocks with outstanding momentum, a momentum that can carry on for the rest of the week. To accomplish this ambitious goal, we'll use simple technical indicators, 10-day, 30-day, 50-day , and 200-day moving averages or DMAs.

We like stocks that fulfill the following criteria:

  1. Last closing price is above 50-DMA
  2. Last closing price is above 200-DMA
  3. 50-DMA shows positive trend
  4. 200-DMA shows positive trend
  5. 10DMA is above 30-DMA

Looking at the following summary table of Chinese ADRs, we find only one stock with true momentum: The9 Ltd. (NCTY). Other stocks with notable momentum include Guangshen Rail (GSH), China Netcom Group (CN), China Unicom Ltd. (CHU), UTS Starcom (UTSI) and Yanzhou Coal (YZC).
