Morning Market Brief 30th Nov. 2020
Technical Overview
The Benchmark KSE100 index is trying to format a bullish price channel on hourly chart but it had faced rejection from resistant trend line of its triangle on hourly chart during last trading session and for current trading session same region would try to react as major resistant region, therefore it's recommended to stay cautious. As of now it's expected that index would remain volatile during current trading session and swing trading between 40,500pts to 41,200pts could be beneficial. Initially index would remain under pressure but later on it would try to retest its resistant regions at 41,000pts and breakout above this region would call for 41,150pts-41,200pts region. While in case of bearish pressure index would try to find support from a strong horizontal supportive region at 40,500pts while breakout below that region would face some panic selling which may lead index towards 40,200pts. Daily momentum indicators are in bullish mode but hourly indicators have changed their direction towards bearish side and these would try to push index for an intraday dip which may be recovered before day end.
