WoW basis, average market cap has fallen by another -87.57 billion PKR marking a two weeks continuous streak of value erosion at the bourse. 

Looking forward, we expected a moderate uptrend on 3rd and 4th FEB-20 due to futures settlement after which market may resume its downtrend. Reversal is not expected until mid of Feb 2020. 

Week 04-2020 Closing Update

Market took a beating for entire week but managed to close higher than its intraday opening on last trading day of the week. We attribute this spike to short covering as Feb futures open for trading in week 05-2020.

WoW basis, market capitalization has registered an average fall of -93.19 billion PKR.

Looking forward, we expect correction trend to continue until healthy consolidation is achieved. Expected support range is 41800-41300-40900 +/100 points. Critical dates are 19-Feb for PIB auction and 29-Jan, 12 Feb, 26-Feb for MTB auctions. These events always have a potential to make their impact on the market.

Week 03-2020 Closing Notes

Market remained under selling pressure due to profit taking and the same trend is expected to continue till end of current month. 

Although average market cap posted whopping growth of +141.56 billion PKR WoW basis, this can be attributed to dead cat bounce and market is expected to remain weak during roll over period. There is party time for short sellers and they are calculating their trades. 

Week 03-2020 - KSE 100 Mid Week Update

Index has started to post signs of exhaustion a bit earlier than our expectation of 43800 +/- 100 vs 43500 +/- 100 actual hit. A bit off for our taste but within acceptable margin of error. Closing has been consistently lower than opening since 13th of Jan 2020. 

Weekend data points on X-axis are nil.

Market cap as expected has been critical since it hit 8000+ billion PKR and profit taking has ensued full swing. DoD basis, market cap has been shrinking since the week opening. An upper hand for bears as it demonstrates profit taking. 

Looking forward, we expect correction wave to continue with expected first support at 42250 - 41800 +/- 100 points. Presenting an accumulation opportunity to patient investor once again. 

Week 02 - Closing Notes

Important Notice

• Due to toothache I was not able to sit online much.
• We will be only doing weekly updates unless really important. 

Index remained  bullish, closing at its intraday resistance and expected to keep the run until it hits its exhaustion in the range of 43800 - 44300 +/- 100 points.

WoW basis, average market cap grew by meager +16.43 billion PKR. Market once again entered the saturation territory of 8000+ billion PKR. Overall, it seems that bulls exhaustion is coming soon. 

Looking forward, we expect the index to post moderate growth during week 03-2020 with critical event of MTB auction falling on 15th Jan, second auction falling at 28th Jan and PIB auction falling at 21 Jan. Together, this represents a serious capital drain risk on the market.
