EGX30 closes at 11,125.55 points, recording increase of 2.93% last week

The Egyptian Exchange continued to rise during the last week as the benchmark index EGX30 witnessed a decent rebound during the last four consecutive sessions (451 points) wiping most of its early losses during the week before last.
Mohamed Othman, head of technical department at Pharos Holding, believes that EGX30 is heading currently to retest its previous peak at the resistance level 11,145 points, where the buying power will be examined once more.
He added that in case EGX closed above the latter resistance level, this would pave the way to reach 11,450 points.
Meanwhile, the first support level lies at 10,880 points followed by 10,680 points.
"We keep our positive point of view as long as the Index keeps trading above 10,680 points, where the chance of resuming the upward move remains high." according to Othman.
