QSE seen nearing key support zone; demand may fuel rebound
The Qatar Stock Exchange index ended the week down 1.68%, losing 165.48 points from the previous week's closing to settle at 9,659 points as six sectors came under selling pressure .
The banking and financial services sector recorded the largest losses, with a decline of 2.58%, while the industrial sector posted the highest gains, rising by approximately 0.78%.
Financial analyst Mubarak al-Tamimi told QNA that the QSE general index faced selling pressure during the week's trading, causing it to decline and break through several technical support levels. The index is now approaching the 9,532-point mark — a level that, according to technical analysis of market trends, represents a significant zone where buying activity could potentially resume.
He added that the 9,532-point zone warrants close monitoring during upcoming sessions, as it represents a technical level where supply and demand forces may interact. He indicated that holding this level, combined with the emergence of positive reversal signals, could bolster the likelihood of an upward rebound in the coming week.
Al-Tamimi said the recent decline does not necessarily signal a continued downward trend. He noted that the index reaching key support levels could prompt some investors to rebuild positions, particularly if trading volumes improve and liquidity returns to bellwether stocks.
He pointed out that the positive scenario requires confirmation through the index's ability to reclaim broken support levels and transform them back into support zones, alongside a clear improvement in liquidity and the activity of bellwether stocks.
In return, a clear break below the 9,532-point level, accompanied by increased selling pressure, could pave the way for a test of lower levels, warranting greater caution.
Al-Tamimi noted that next week's trading sessions would be crucial in determining the market's direction. He emphasised that the index holding above the 9,532-point level, coupled with the emergence of genuine buying interest, could support a rebound scenario, though confirmation of the trend remains contingent on the index's behaviour and liquidity levels in the coming sessions.
