Technically, the market is now in a sideway trend surprisingly with good volume. It is as if traders generally agreed on the pricing of most listed equities. In a situation like this, market will respond sharply to slight fundamental news. On the strength of this, we are of the opinion that traders should ensure that no fundamental news pass them by either on the general market or on their respective traded equities.
We maintained our position that traders should pay more attention to their trades and seriously mind their stops (up (+) or down (-)). Investment greed should be avoided at all cost.
Volume Index for week’s activity is 0.70 while buy volume and sell volume is estimated at 60% and 40% respectively.
