The Diagnosis
Analysis of the market activity in the week ended December 16, 2016 technically revealed growing optimistic trading pattern while investors displayed improved bargain hunting in the week.

Also, an extensive analysis revealed strong accumulation pattern while investors maintained ‘buy and hold’ postures, particularly in Financial Services, Agriculture and  Consumer Goods sectors.

In addition, volume analysis revealed active bargain tendency towards UBN, GUARANTY, ETI, HONYFLOUR and LIVESTOCK while investors sustained sell postures towards DANGFLOUR, OANDO, CADBURY and MOBIL.

Furthermore, investors displayed fresh and sustained bargain tendency in some active sector(s), particularly in Consumer Goods, Healthcare, Agriculture and Financial Services sector(s). However, we observed fresh and growing sell tendency in Services,  and Industrial Goods sector(s).

Summarily, the bulls dominated the week, strengthening the key benchmark index by 889.41 points against 76.86 gain recorded in the previous week to close at 26,707.10- ASI remains battered below its key resistance level at 41,957.50.

The outlook reveals growing bargain postures.

In the week just ended, market breadth closed positive at 2.06x against 0.81x recorded in the previous week on the back of growing bargain sentiments.

Likely trends in the coming periods: We expect speculative trading to gain tempo in the coming week, considering the RSI at the overbought threshold, which may incite a moderate pull-back anytime soon.



Technically, market sentiments during the bearish week favoured liquid and active stocks of Medium Cap categories in the sector(s) but with stronger positive sentiments in Financial Services, Agriculture, Healthcare, Construction/Real Estate, Consumer Goods, Conglomerates and Oil & Gas sector(s), which further revealed the sector(s) investors patronised in the week.

On the other hand, it was observed that negative sentiments appeared stronger in,
Services and Industrial Goods
