After a 3.6% drop through the week, the Qatar Index managed to reduce its losses to only 1.15% versus the week before and it closed at the 10,412.50 level. That created a possible reversing candlestick upward. The index needs to break above the 10,630 mark to possibly continue its path upwards inside the uptrend channel. We update the expected support to the 10,000 level and our resistance level is remains at the 11,500 level.

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.
