New Entry Case: Qfin Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: QFIN)

Qfin Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: QFIN), formerly Qifu Technology Inc, is an investment holding company mainly engaged in credit technology services. The Company’s services are divided into credit-driven services and platform services according to the nature of the service and the level of related credit risk.

The 14-period RSI staying above the midpoint indicates a possible rebound and the emergence of buying momentum.

With its momentum intact, QFIN's stock seems well-positioned to continue its current trajectory and realize short-term gains.
