QSE Index Commentary
Overview: As expected, the Index bounced strongly and closed above the 11,430 level. Last session’s traded volumes were higher as more buying appetite came in. The MACD on the daily chart is deep below the zero line. Although that is considered as a negative indication, we could see the MACD easing up from these extreme levels. Also, the RSI is struggling to push out of the oversold area. In conclusion, the Index is still looking for a direction. We do note that it is essential for traders to watch the Index stay above the previous low of around 10,900. Expected Target Level: 11,600 Only if the 11,540 level is breached up. Suggested Stop-Loss Level: 10,900 A break below means that the bounce was shallow and the bear leg is still in action.

Commentary
Overview: The name displayed a strong bounce above the QR160.00 price level, gaining over 8% between the previous low to reach the high of the last session. This bounce encountered strong resistance at the QR173.00 level. The name is trading below its moving averages; it is still under the short-term trend downtrend line; the MACD is below the zero line and still pointing downward. The RSI just bounced of the oversold area but not in divergence against the price. All the aforementioned are bearish indicators showing that the name may continue its trip south. Only a break above the QR180.00 price could signify a change in the short-term trend. Other than that, any bounce on the name should be treated as an exit opportunity. Expected Price Retreat: QR160.00 This is the first expected when the QR168.00 is broken below.

Commentary
Overview: GWCS got hit hard with the rest of the market over the past week. Good news is that the name is stabilizing above an important support at QR50.00. At this level, the 200SMA meets the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement, the medium-term uptrend line stemming from last February, and the lower side of the short-term downtrend channel. The RSI and the MACD are still bearish on the daily. However, on the hourly, the MACD and the RSI are showing signs of recovery that might extend for a few sessions. Expected Target Price: QR56.50 – QR58.30 The trigger for this trade is a sustained break above the QR54.00 price for at least an hour through the session. Suggested Stop-Loss Price: QR50.00

Definitions:
Candlestick: A chart that displays the high, low, opening and closing prices for a security in a single period. The body of the candle is made up by the opening
and the closing prices, i.e., the taller the body the greater the range between these two prices and vice versa. A colored candle denotes a closing price that is
lower than the opening price, while a white candle shows the opposite. The candlestick's shadows or wicks show the period's high and low prices and how they
compare to the opening and closing price. In general, the shape of the candle will vary upon the positions of the period's high, low, opening and closing prices.
Support: A level that could cause more buyers to step in in order to prevent the security from falling or causing the security price to head higher.
Resistance: An inverse of a support level. A resistance area or level could cause more sellers to step in in order to prevent the security from rising or causing the
security price to head lower.
SMA (Simple Moving Average): Is an arithmetic average, which calculates the average price of a security over a defined number of periods and is thus
considered a lagging indicator. SMAs used in our analysis refer to closing prices. In general, SMAs serve many purposes, such as a smoothing tool, an indicative
price direction and potential support/resistance levels.
Market Breadth: Breadth indicates the number of securities that have closed higher vs. the number of decliners in a particular exchange.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence): Is a trading indicator, which shows changes in the strength, direction, momentum and duration of a trend in
a stock's price through a collection of three time series calculated from historical closing price data.
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Is a momentum indicator that compares a security’s price gains to its losses for a predetermined number of periods (we generally
use 14 periods). The RSI attempts to point out how a security, in relative terms, is in the overbought/oversold zone. Securities with a RSI above 70 could be
considered as overbought, and below 30 could be considered as oversold.
Pattern/Formation: Is a graphical presentation of a security’s price activity over a certain period of time. Formations come in different shapes (such as, head &
shoulders, triangles, flags, and so on). They can be used to identify potential trends, reversal of trends, price targets, entry and exit points, etc.
Fibonacci Retracements: Are horizontal lines that indicate expected areas of support/resistance for a security based on a predetermined price movement. These
levels are usually indicated by Fibonacci ratios of 23.6%, 38.2%, 50.0%, 61.8% and 100% from that particular movement.
Fibonacci Pivot and Intra-day Support/Resistance: A Pivot Point is generally used to formulate expected future support/resistance levels. From the base Pivot
Point, Fibonacci multiples of the high-low differential are added to form resistance levels and subtracted to form support levels.
