The Diagnosis
Analysis of the market activity in the week ended December 23, 2016 technically revealed moderate speculative tendency and price correction pattern while short-term investors booked modest profit in the week.

Also, an extensive analysis revealed moderate growth in distribution pattern while investors maintained sell-down postures, particularly in Services, Agriculture and  Consumer Goods sectors.

In addition, volume analysis revealed active bargain tendency towards STERLNBANK, NEIMETH, WAPCO, and DIAMONDBNK while investors sustained sell postures towards CADBURY, GUARANTY, UNILEVER and HONYFLOUR.

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

Summarily, the bears dominated the week, depressing the key benchmark index by 235.32 points against 889.41 gain recorded in the previous week to close at 26,471.78- ASI remains battered below its key resistance level at 31,071.25, recorded on 26th June 2016.
