Without much argument, the market is clearly threatening the minor resistance along its northward journey. Although this position is impressive, the weak force with which this was done downed the confidence of defiling the resistance.
Meanwhile, having received major nine months financials, we expect the market to start giving room for more short term trades in various listed equities. We also foresee more patronage in the shares of few equities that proposed interim dividends until such are adjusted accordingly.
Please note also that, the next season will last for 6-months, after which the full year financials will be expected, worthy of note during the season are major festivities that may lower equities’ prices and give room for new positions. Thus, smartly scanning released nine months financials and successfully predicting full year earnings will help investors in filling their trading baskets with profitable equities for medium term investments. Safe Trade.
