QSE Index Commentary
Overview: The Index is stabilizing above the 12,450 level. This is a significant level to stay above for a rebound to the 13,000. It reached the lower side of a downtrend channel (denoted in red) on the daily chart. Thus, we may see the Index range bound and will be looking for a direction at this point. Expected Target : 13,000 This target, or any bounces, should be used as selling points. Suggested Stop-Loss: 12,450 A drop below this level can drag the Index all the way to 12,000.

Commentary
Overview: VFQS is in a clear downtrend and is now challenging the drop. The name stabilized above the QR16.00 level last week. We believe there is an advantage for traders to trade these expected bounces. The daily frame reveals while the MACD is below the zero line, its Histogram is providing signs of temporary recovery. The RSI broke away from the oversold area, which is also a positive signal. On the hourly chart, we can clearly see a double bottom formation. The peak of that formation is our target price. Expected Price Target: QR18.00 – QR18.40 A break above the QR17.50 level is a must for this trade. The QR17.50 level is the border of the downtrend line. That line has to be pierced for the name to bounce. Suggested Stop-Loss Price: QR16.90 This trade is suggested against a downtrend, which can be risky. We believe this risk can be mitigated by using a tight stop-loss as we suggest.

Commentary
Overview: QGTS has stabilized above QR23.00 for the past four sessions. This stability may offer a trading opportunity as the name is going through a range. On the daily, the MACD’s Histogram has started to exhibit stability. The RSI is coming close to the oversold area but refusing to go below it, indicating more buyers stepping in at the these levels. On the hourly, the MACD is below the zero line but facing upward. The RSI is at the neutral zone. The short-term downtrend line is still intact, and trading above it is a primary indicator to buy the share. Expected Price Target: QR23.90 – QR24.40 QR23.26 is the breakaway price for this trade; a break above this price initiates our buy recommendation. Suggested Stop-Loss: QR22.80 A break below this level indicates further decline with an expected drop to QR22.20.

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.
