Unlike the previous trading day, the advancers’ log expanded, as more listed equities closed above their respective opening prices. Nevertheless, the market still closed down, this is because most capitalised stocks joined the lagers. Meanwhile, despite the long red days, Bollinger bands are still 64.0% narrower than normal; the narrow bands suggest a low volatility compared to the normal market trading range. As noted in our previous reports, a careful analysis of possible effects of the lockdown, and other government policies on equities of choice should be done before taking any investment decision. Please understand that a downtrend is bound to create more entry signals, since this will drag listed equities back to attractive prices. Please trade accordingly
