Market Prediction

Yesterday, JCI was under pressure and dropped 0.87% following the weakening of Asian stock indices and concerns over lockdowns implemented in European countries.

As for today, Asian stock indices appear to be on a rebound in which JCI has the opportunity to follow this strengthening. Positive sentiment came from the decline in US bond yields.

JCI closed down again with a bearish candle. The stochastic indicator is dead cross, MACD histogram is negative (line flat) and volume is down. The index is still in a consolidation trend. If JCI breaks down to below level 6,290, it can continue to our next support flow at the range of 6,245 - 6,268. If it is able to strengthen, the resistance levels are at the range of 6,339 - 6,354.
