Technical Analysis Update: Tadawul All Share Index (TASI) - Saudi Arabia ETF (KSA)

Saudi Arabia stock markets signals a bullish trend reversal as it comes out of a head and shoulders bottom formation. This signals a continuation of the long-term upward sloping trend channel with the potential for eventual multi year highs.

A bullish reversal is indicated as the Tadawul All Share Index (TASI) (Saudi Stock Market) breaks out of a head & shoulders bottom reversal pattern at the start of the week. The pattern formed following the completion of a 78.6% Fibonacci retracement of the near-term downtrend.

A continuation of a long-term uptrend channel can be anticipated with an eventual rally back to the top of the channel. Fibonacci retracement and projection levels are marked on the enclosed charts to identify potential near and long-term price targets.

Nevertheless, a decisive daily close below the head at 7,396.60 is a failure of the above bullish scenario, while a daily close below the right shoulder at 7,808.54 puts the bullish scenario at risk and requires a new assessment.
