TECHNICAL ANALYSIS: QE INDEX AND KEY STOCKS TO CONSIDER
QE Index: Short-Term – Neutral
The QE Index reversed and penetrated below the ascending trend
line support as well as the 9,800.0 psychological level and declined
by around 85 points (-0.86%) to close at 9,785.90. The index failed to
make any further headway above 9,900.0 and witnessed selling
pressure throughout the day. The index is currently trading close to
its important support of 9,766.28, but needs to cling on to support in
order to proceed toward 9,800.0; any dip below may test 9,700.0.
Nakilat: Short-Term – Pull Back
QGTS tested and temporarily managed to move above the QR20.0
level on Thursday. However, the level proved too strong for QGTS to
hold and it ended up closing below it; it continued its decline on
Sunday as well surrendering around 0.80%. With the RSI drifting
lower, it looks like QGTS may decline and test its immediate support
at QR19.34, which if breached, may test the 21-day moving average.
Thus, the preferred direction for QGTS appears downward.
Al Rayan Islamic Index: Short-Term – Neutral
The QERI Index dipped below support of the 55-day moving average
(currently at 2,805.11) and the 2,800.0 psychological level in a single
swoop. The index has been encountering stiff resistance near the
2,815.0 level over the past few days and finally caved in to selling
pressure. The next important level for the traders to watch out for will
be 2,782.0; hence a dip below it may result in a lower move.
Conversely, a move above 2,800.0 may indicate a false breakdown.
Ooredoo: Short-Term – Pull Back
ORDS reversed yesterday and declined below the support of
QR142.90 after facing uncertainty in clearing the resistance at
QR145.0. We believe the stock may drift lower from the current level
and test its immediate support near the QR140.0 level. Moreover, the
RSI has shown a bearish divergence indicating a price correction.
However, if the stock manages to close above the QR142.90 level, it
may advance and retest the QR145.0 level.
United Development Co.: Short-Term – Pull Back
UDCD formed a shooting star pattern on Thursday, which often leads
to either consolidation or decline. Moreover, the stock declined
yesterday and formed a bearish Marubozu Candle pattern, thus
providing a confirmation of this trend reversal pattern. Thus, we
believe UDCD might move lower and test its support of QR21.70. Any
sustained selling pressure below this level may even test the 21-day
moving average (currently at QR21.36).
Qatari Investors Group: Short-Term – Bounce Back
QIGD rebounded and breached the resistance of QR29.85 and did
not weaken despite the recent market turbulence. We believe, if
QIGD can manage to hold on to its price rebound at QR29.85, then a
prospect of a higher move toward the descending trendline at
QR30.50 is possible. On the flip side, a drop below QR29.85 on a
closing basis may indicate a false breakout and bearish implications.
Meanwhile, both momentum indicators support a higher move.

*These stocks are today’s suggested ideas
Overall Methodology: The charts and descriptions on Page 1 provide an indicative view of the future direction of the equities mentioned. The table on page 2 has been provided to denote historical movements in certain stocks. The historical trend analysis uses 21- and 55-
day SMAs for indicating short-term and long-term trends, respectively. Based on these SMAs, the historical direction of the trend is denoted as UP, DOWN or FLAT.
Selection of Key Stocks of the Day: Key stocks’ selection is based on our analysis of 19 members of the QE Index (excludes QNBK QD). Analysis includes identifying trends (short-term as well as long-term), patterns and support/resistance levels.
Trend Direction: The methods used to determine trend direction are subjective in nature. We use 21-day SMA and 55-day SMA, absolute price movements, price movements relative to SMAs and accurately drawn trend lines and chart patterns to determine the short- and
long-term trends.
Investment Horizon: The definition of short term and long term depends upon investors’ preferences and their investment objectives. As a rule of thumb, the time horizon for traders/short-term trend is 1-3 weeks while it is 1-3 months for investors/long-term trend.
Combining Technical and Fundamental Analysis: Investors can combine technical analysis (TA) with fundamental analysis (FA) to maximize their investment returns. While the “True Value” of stocks could be estimated by FA, the entry and exit timings could be fine
tuned using technical analysis to benefit from short-term movements in stock prices.
Trading Tactics: The trend direction should be analyzed based on the time-horizon of your investments. In general, investors attempt selling close to resistance levels during a downtrend and attempt buying close to support levels during uptrend.
Definitions:
1> Simple Moving Average (SMA): A SMA is the average of the closing price of a security for a given period.
2> RSI (Relative Strength Index): A technical momentum indicator that ranges from 0 to 100 and compares the stock’s recent price movements by evaluating recent gains and losses. Stocks with RSI above 70 could be considered overbought and below 30 could be
considered oversold. If the RSI falls below 70, it is a bearish signal. On the other hand, if the RSI rises above 30 it is considered bullish. We use a RSI of 14 days.
3> MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): MACD denotes the relationship between two moving averages, which is used to spot changes in strength, direction, momentum and duration of a stock price trend. The MACD is calculated by subtracting the 26-day
exponential moving average (EMA) from the 12-day EMA. A nine-day EMA of the MACD, called the signal line, is also plotted on top of the MACD, functioning as a trigger for buy/sell signals. The MACD line above the signal line provides a positive signal and vice versa.
