According to AKD Securities Limited, during the past ten trading sessions, the index has shown an equal number of green and red candles, indicating a balanced but unpredictable market sentiment. Among the momentum indicators, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) currently reads at 75.57, suggesting that the market may be in an overbought condition. Additionally, the daily parabolic SAR (Stop and Reverse) appears below the current level of the index, which may imply a bullish trend continuation.
