周三沪深A股在连续上涨6个交易日后震荡回调，同时成交量萎缩，属于正常修复性调整。下午收 盘前，沪深300ETF产品突然放量走强，盘面显示有大资金介入，也同步推升股指震荡走强，其中沪深 300样本股表现更强。到收盘，虽然两市个股仍以下跌居多，但上证指数及科创50指数成功翻红，其中 上证指数已经连续上涨7个交易日。不过，市场成交量并没有明显放大，投资者还抱有观望心态，后市 还需要消息面跟进或者成交补量过程。从目前看，大盘探底回升后连续上涨7天，显示下档支撑强劲， 即便技术性回探，向下空间相对有限。至于何时能够向上突破，还需要政策面和上市公司业绩做配合， 短线大盘继续以震荡整理为主。 展望后市：继续企稳整理，个股以修复性行情为主。关注正在集中披露的上市公司2024年年报以及 2025年一季报业绩，或有分化走势。 风险提示：消息面或海外市场表现超预期，流动性的不确定性。 ...
