The benchmark index in the Egyptian Exchange (EGX30) has closed at 11,056.27 points, recording a decline of 2.17% for the week. The index was still above its support level of 10,900 points, and it managed to form a higher low pattern. Meanwhile, the bullish scenario suggests that EGX30 will rise to the resistance level of 11,120 points. Mohamed Othman, head of technical analysis department at Pharos Holding, sees that the focus is currently directed to the resistance level 11,120 points which is considered a short-term trigger. A successful breach above the latter level would pave the way to retest 11,200 followed by 11,300 points. Meanwhile the consistency of trading above the support level 10,900 points increases the chance of resuming the upward move.
