Tadawul All Share Index (TASI)


TASI (Last: 6665.65, up 37.39 points)

The Tadawul All Shares Index (TASI) is showing downtrend on short, medium and long term basis as the price is trading below 2 weeks moving average and 2 weeks moving average is trading below both 12 and 52 weeks moving average.

Though the long term trend remains down, there are some signs of a short term turnaround visible on the charts. The first and foremost is the appearance of sideways price action in the range of 6600-6900 which is indicative of accumulation or short covering activity. To confirm a rally, the TASI must cross the upper band of this sideways range and head towards its next major resistance band at 7200-7400. Hesitation in crossing the 6900 level will increase the odds of decline towards 6100 support.  

The emergence of a divergence on the 14 day RSI chart is also supporting our short term positive view. Though the divergence is somewhat weak compared to SABIC (see the technical commentary on SABIC below) but the conflict in price and velocity of trend is clearly visible. In our view, before resuming dominant downtrend, expect small rise in prices. See the chart above for details.

Trading Strategy: Sell on rise in stocks with negative Trend Score. Buy on dips in the stock with positive Trend Score. Also keep a close watch on the “Trend Score Change” column to get a clue on the velocity the trend. To understand better please read the “Trend Score Guide” and “Introduction”.
