March 9, 2010 (Chinavestor) There has been a sudden increase in the number of momentum China stocks from last week. Some is earnings announcement related, such as E-House Holdings (NYSE:EJ) that ran up +10.1% before reporting thus morning. But most of the advance is driven by market momentum, a factor that can turn just as fast as it came.
The case for E-House Holdings (NYSE:EJ) is very simple - earnings are out before the open and that will determine stock price movement from there.
Hong Kong listed H-shares of China Telecom (HKG:0728) fell -0.80% today suggesting profit taking has started in Asia. We have said for two day that large cap NYSE listed stocks like China Telecom (NYSE:CHA) don't stay overbought for a long time and as such take profits.

Melco Crown Entertainment (NASDAQ:MPEL) has approached theoretical highs and is considered overbought. Expect a technical correction to pull down the stock soon.
Share price of China Precision Steel (NASDAQ:CPSL) surged +16.0% on Monday with significant underlying volume. The similar trading pattern, e.g. huge jump out of nowhere, happened in February 16 where the stock had one more positive day before leveling off. If history is any guide in predicting future price, today is the perfect day to short CPSL to maximize profits.

Shares of Fushi Copperweld (NASDAQ:FSIN) advanced over +20% in the last five trading days but the stock has not approached theoretical highs yet. It looks the stock has more in store for the risky buyer.
Volatility is up for China Fire & Security Group (NASDAQ:CFSG). The stock took a breather on Monday raising the question which direction to take from here. CFSG is not overbought leaving more room to the upside.
