Morning Market Brief 9th Nov. 2020
Technical Overview
The Benchmark KSE100 index had faced rejection from 74.6% correction of its last bearish rally and have escaped bullish engulfing on weekly chart by a narrow range during last trading session. As of now it's being capped by resistant trend line of descending wedge along with a strong horizontal resistant region at 41,400pts but on its way towards that region index would face initial resistance between 41,000pts-41,100pts. It's recommended to start buying on dip with strict stop loss of 40,200pts because it's expected that index would try to start the day with a positive spike but later on a dip could be witnessed which would be recovered before day end. While breakout above 41,200pts would call for 41,500pts and daily or weekly closing above this region would change market sentiment completely. But In case of rejection from its resistant regions index would start sliding downward which may lead index towards completion of its daily head & shoulder formation therefore it's recommended to post strict stop loss on long position, In this scenario index would try to find ground initially at 40,200pts while breakout below that region would call for 40,000pts and 39,760pts.
