Technical Analysis
The Benchmark KSE100 index have closed on a very crucial level during last trading session because daily momentum indicators have turned to bearish direction but index still closed above its daily triple bottom of 40,760 points and to continue its downward rally index need to open below 40,760 points with a negative gap otherwise hourly confirmation would be needed for bears to ride the market again with comfort. Index have resistant regions at 41,263 and 41,500 points during current trading session while index have immediate supportive region standing at 40,760 points and breakout of that region would call for 40,375 points on intraday basis. It’s recommended to initiate short selling on strength if index succeed in sliding below 40,760 on hourly closing basis.
