Technical Analysis Highlights

The index opened at 2,433.20 and made the intraday high at 2,490.62. However, the bulls could not dominate the rest of the market session, and the index went as low as 2,379.30 before ultimately closing at 2,414.62. This has resulted in the formation of a small-body candle with wicks on both sides.

Yesterday's bullish aggression would have gained more credibility if today's market session had closed green with preferably a long candle body. Nonetheless, today's market movement was indecisive at best, and further trading days are required to deduce the possibility of a trend reversal.

A total of 9,879,109 shares exchanged hands amounting to Rs. 4.588 Arba in the turnover amount. This is significantly higher than yesterday's turnover of Rs. 1.84 Arba.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 36.09. The reading was at 36.35 yesterday. The RSI had broken up from below the "30" level yesterday. The zone below the 30 reading indicates oversold conditions. Meanwhile, both the MACD line and the signal line are negative, i.e. below zero, with the MACD reading at -92.78. This reading was at -94.06 yesterday.
