The Benchmark KSE100 index had continued its bullish pull back after completion of 100% expansion of its last bearish correction during last trading session and once again succeeded in recovering above its initial resistant region of 46,900pts. As of now daily and hourly momentum indicators are in bullish mode which indicates that index may continue its bullish sentiment but it needs to stay cautious because index have major resistant regions ahead at 47,350pts and 47,600pts. As long as it trading below 47,760pts it would be considered taking correction of its last bearish rallies, but breakout above this region would push index into bullish zone for short term basis. For current trading session index may open with a positive gap but later on a volatile session could be witnessed and index may take an intraday correction because hourly stochastic is ready for a bearish correction. But if index would succeed in sliding below 46,900pts then selling pressure would start piling up therefore it's recommended to post trailing stop loss on existing long positions.
