QSE Index Commentary

Overview: Another indecision candlestick was formed by the QSE Index in the last session. Hence, the QSE Index exhibited a Tweezers Top candlesticks formation. This formation is considered bearish in nature and needs a close below the 12,650 level to confirm the bearishness of the move. The RSI on the intraday chart shows negative divergence vs. price. We expect traders to reduce exposure around this level. Expected Resistance Level: 12,800 Expected Support Level: 12,350

Commentary

Overview: The bank positively broke above a short-term downtrend line (denoted in the red-dashed line) and started a correction three sessions ago. In the last session, it created a bullish Doji candlestick. The MACD on both time frames is positive and picking up bullish momentum. In addition, the Doji candlestick has been created at a strong support above QR48.70. We conclude that the name could continue upwards. Expected Target Price: QR50.00 – QR51.00 Accumulation at this level is suggested. If a trader wants to wait for a better confirmation, then a break above QR49.30 should reinforce that confirmation. Suggested Stop-Loss Price: QR48.00 A break below means the name could correct further to QR46.40.

Commentary

Overview: After reaching the top of the Ascending Triangle (denoted with the red line), the name created a Doji top candlestick. It is a bearish reversing candlestick that was confirmed by the close below the Doji’s low in yesterday’s session. As long as the name does not break the QR23.00 upward, then the name is in a correction phase. Expected Price Retreat: QR21.50 – QR21.00 A correction to the mentioned levels is possible; a break below QR22.00 may trigger the sell.

Definitions:

Candlestick: A chart that displays the high, low, opening and closing prices for a security in a single period. The body of the candle is made up by the opening

and the closing prices, i.e., the taller the body the greater the range between these two prices and vice versa. A colored candle denotes a closing price that is

lower than the opening price, while a white candle shows the opposite. The candlestick's shadows or wicks show the period's high and low prices and how they

compare to the opening and closing price. In general, the shape of the candle will vary upon the positions of the period's high, low, opening and closing prices.

Support: A level that could cause more buyers to step in in order to prevent the security from falling or causing the security price to head higher.

Resistance: An inverse of a support level. A resistance area or level could cause more sellers to step in in order to prevent the security from rising or causing the

security price to head lower.

SMA (Simple Moving Average): Is an arithmetic average, which calculates the average price of a security over a defined number of periods and is thus

considered a lagging indicator. SMAs used in our analysis refer to closing prices. In general, SMAs serve many purposes, such as a smoothing tool, an indicative

price direction and potential support/resistance levels.

Market Breadth: Breadth indicates the number of securities that have closed higher vs. the number of decliners in a particular exchange.

MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence): Is a trading indicator, which shows changes in the strength, direction, momentum and duration of a trend in

a stock's price through a collection of three time series calculated from historical closing price data.

RSI (Relative Strength Index): Is a momentum indicator that compares a security’s price gains to its losses for a predetermined number of periods (we generally

use 14 periods). The RSI attempts to point out how a security, in relative terms, is in the overbought/oversold zone. Securities with a RSI above 70 could be

considered as overbought, and below 30 could be considered as oversold.

Pattern/Formation: Is a graphical presentation of a security’s price activity over a certain period of time. Formations come in different shapes (such as, head &

shoulders, triangles, flags, and so on). They can be used to identify potential trends, reversal of trends, price targets, entry and exit points, etc.

Fibonacci Retracements: Are horizontal lines that indicate expected areas of support/resistance for a security based on a predetermined price movement. These

levels are usually indicated by Fibonacci ratios of 23.6%, 38.2%, 50.0%, 61.8% and 100% from that particular movement.

Fibonacci Pivot and Intra-day Support/Resistance: A Pivot Point is generally used to formulate expected future support/resistance levels. From the base Pivot

Point, Fibonacci multiples of the high-low differential are added to form resistance levels and subtracted to form support levels.
