He further commented that the All-Share index was approaching the level of 6,650 points during Tuesday’s session, while it declined during Wednesday’s near the support level at 6,610, hence, retreating again under 6,600 points.
Despite its decline in Wednesday’s session, the All-Share index still has a chance to move upwardly if it managed to close above 4,800 points, Younis further nodded, warning against a fifth consecutive decline which threatens the index’s up move.
