TECHNICAL INDICATIONS
Support : 1600 Resistance : 1640 Bias : Downtrend
Despite the rebound, the index is still trading within the down-trending channel formed from 2 day of losses and below the 5-day and 10-day moving averages. A failure to break free from the current channel will have adverse consequences by affecting market sentiment that had begun to unravel on unfavorable developments.
