Tadawul All Share Index Trend Score

On the last trading day, the Index went up 14.43 points to close the day at 6892.62. As written in our earlier commentaries, we maintain our cautious stance on the market at current levels and wait for a clear break above 6950 resistance before buying aggressively.


Technically speaking, clearance of 6950 level is essential for following reasons.

1)      A close above this level will end the two month long sideways trend and we will see this short term uptrend extending further towards 7150 levels before profit taking sets in.


2)      Post the breakout, the role reversal happens as the old resistance (6950) becomes new support level.


3)      On the longer term charts; hopefully, this sideways trend will serve as the major base for a new bull rally which may propel TASI higher than its recent highs at 8000.


4)      Our long term bull view is also getting support from the historical trending picture of TASI. As you can see on the chart, TASI has formed a major base around 6000 level during August-October 2011 period. Subsequently, the Index breached this range on the upside to form a peak at 7944 level.

Let’s hope the Tadawul All Share Index clears this hump for good.
