Technical Analysis Highlights

The index opened at 2,549.36 and created the intraday high at 2,590.39. It then closed at the intraday low of 2,508.90. Thus, the index saw an intraday volatility of 81.49 points today.

With the green hammer candlestick having formed yesterday, it had appeared as though the index was trying to bounce back from the support zone at the 2,500 level. The index gaining in the earlier phase of the market session today was also encouraging for investors. However, the index has ultimately closed red with a loss of 1.46%, hence closing on an inconclusive note.

Nonetheless, the lowest point of yesterday's hammer candlestick's lower wick at 2,440.24 functions as probable support for the index, if the downfall continues.

A total of 8,330,093 shares exchanged hands amounting to Rs. 3.128 Arba in the turnover amount. This is lower than yesterday's turnover of Rs. 4.542 Arba. While volume has been changing inconsistently, the trend from October 31 signals a gradual decline.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 31.18. The reading was at 33.89 yesterday. The RSI crossing below the "30" level indicates oversold conditions. Meanwhile, both the MACD line and the signal line are negative, i.e. below zero, with the MACD reading at -53.28. This reading was at -46.64 yesterday. The MACD line is below the signal line, and both are negative, hence indicating a general pessimism in the market.
