For the third time since the downtrend commenced, the market has posted a supply test. Since the market has been on a downtrend before now, a marginal gain with higher volume is referred to as a supply test (in technical analysis). Normally, this is a sign of returning strength, and it implies that the downtrend is likely to reverse soon. Kindly confirm this position (by seeing the market returning) before taking any investment decision.
