Key Areas List
The Key Areas list of the PSE index has remained almost the same.
Key areas to watch:
Resistance: 8,000, 8,500, 9,000
Support: 7,700, 7,400-7,500, 6,800-7,000
The Script
The index has kept the positive momentum largely intact even as the month of February is now drawing to a close.
Since we did not see significant declines this month, the risk is for a surprise decline by month-end (and worse a bearish monthly close for February), or a bearish March.
On the other hand, if the month closes above 7,700-7,750, then we could have a strong ground support for future upside movement in the next few months.
