At the beginning of the new week, the stock market witnessed a negative session as the benchmark KSE-100 index experienced a decline of 404.12 points, closing at 41,195.06. This movement caused the index to fall below its 200-day moving average (41,364) on the daily chart, indicating the potential for further downward moves.

Considering the current chart structure, which suggests weakness, a breach of the immediate support level ranging between 41,090 and 40,996 could lead to additional downside towards 40,930 – 40,857. Subsequently, the index may further decline towards 40,700 – 40,500. On the other hand, any upward movement from the current level would encounter strong resistance between 41,257 and 41,365. Only a significant breakthrough above 41,365 would empower the bulls to continue the rally towards 41,480 – 41,537.

The RSI and the MACD have shown weakness, leading to a cautious stance. We recommend investors to stay cautious on the higher side and wait for. The support and resistance are at 41,004 and 41,538 points, respectively. Failure to hold support will further aggravate the selling pressure towards 40900 and 40600 respectively.
