Elixir Grid - KSE100: Recovery Anticipated from Current Region

The benchmark KSE100 Index faced a prolonged period of selling ever since breaking below 45,122 level earlier this month. In doing so, a particularly oversold stance has been achieved which is now prone to a recovery. A sharp pull back witnessed on last Tuesday followed by a spike towards 43,060 level intraday, slightly above our detected target of 42,900, was an ideal illustration. On a bigger time frame, as the weekly chart shows, Index has formed an ‘Inverted Hammer’ candlestick formation above the cluster support (a long-term descending resistance-turned-support at 41,600 now). This particular candlestick pattern, when found at the lower end of a price swing, usually but not always, precedes a reversal in the trend. Moving forward, ability to hold above nearby supports at 41,600/ 450 maintains a bullish bias on weekly charts. On upside, a break above nearby resistances at 42,366/450 would unlock further upside to the levels of 43,060 and 43,560 next.
