Technical Analysis
The Benchmark KSE100 Index is being capped by two strong resistant trend lines at 41,910 and 41,970 points during current trading session along with a horizontal resistant region which is trying to cap index move at 41,800 points. All these three elements have played a vital role at their respective regions previously and if index would not succeed in closing above 41,900 points during current trading session then tomorrow it would have to face a very strong resistance region at 41,950 points because tomorrow the said both trend lines would create a crossover with each other at 41,950 points and that region would become a strong resistance against any bullish trend if maintained during current trading session. Intraday bullish momentum is losing strength and it seems that index would try to take a dip in first half during current trading session and if this dip would occur after posting a high around 41,800 points then index would try to create an evening shooting star on daily chart. It’s recommended to stay cautious during current trading session as market is expected to remain volatile.
TRG have supportive regions ahead at 29.97-29.67 Rs and penetration of these regions in downward direction would call 29.20 but it’s recommended to adopt swing trading strategy around these region until clear breakout would happen. PSO is being capped by a strong resistant trend line along with a horizontal resistant region at 286 therefore it’s recommended to trade it cautiously because breakout of that region would call for 292 and 297 but if it would succeed in maintain that region then 267 could be witnessed in coming days. PAEL is moving downward after posting weekly double top therefore it is recommended to initiate selling on strength in it with strict stop of 34.40.
