Technical analysis of the QSE index
Even though the benchmark index closed 1.93% down versus last week’s level, we expect it to have a negligible impact on the coming week’s performance because of the shortened week. We keep our resistance levels around the 9,500-9,600 points and the support around the 8,600 level.

Definitions of key terms used in technical analysis
Candlestick chart – A candlestick chart is a price chart that displays the high, low, open, and close for a security. The ‘body’ of the chart is portion between the open and close price, while the high and low intraday movements form the ‘shadow’. The candlestick may represent any time frame. We use a one-day candlestick chart (every candlestick represents one trading day) in our analysis.
Doji candlestick pattern – A Doji candlestick is formed when a security’s open and close are practically equal. The pattern indicates indecisiveness, and based on preceding price actions and future confirmation, may indicate a bullish or bearish trend reversal.
