The bond market already told you why it didn't believe the SBP cuts. This chart explains it. April 2026 oil import bill: $1.93bn — nearly double March, highest single-month since the 2022 war spike. CAD pressure returns. PKR risk back on the table. SBP rate-cut path effectively capped. Equity rotation: OMCs & refineries lead. Industrials, autos & power consumers take the hit.

THCCL Last Close: PKR 59.74 | 52w: 46.03 – 103.50 THCCL crashed from ~103 to 46 (–55%), and is now in a recovery phase. Price is above both EMA20 (54.63) and EMA50 (56.01) — the first bullish EMA signal seen in months. However it remains well below EMA200 (69.04), meaning the bigger trend is still bearish. Price broke above two Bearish OBs (55.80–57) — bullish sign. Two Bullish OBs at 52–54 now act as a solid floor. MACD just crossed positive (histogram green, 0.66). RSI at 67 — approaching overbought but not there yet. 🟡 CAUTIOUS BUY / HOLD The bounce is real and technically valid. Entry zone: 56–58 pullback (retest of broken Bear OB = now support). Stop: 51.50 (below Bull OBs). Target 1: 62 | Target 2: 72.80. Don't chase the current candle — wait for a dip to 56–58 for better risk/reward. A close above 62 with volume would confirm the next leg up. #psx #kse100 #THCCL

AVN — Avanceon | Last Close: PKR 33.82 | 52w: 26.50 – 54.30 Price crashed 52% from the year high and the bounce to 39 has already failed. Currently sitting inside a Bearish Order Block (33.38–34.59) — a supply zone where institutions sell. Full bear EMA stack (price below EMA20/50/200), MACD just crossed bearish, RSI at 48.7 with room to fall further.

📊 NML — Senior Technical Analysis Report Last Close: PKR 142.39 | 52w Range: 120.00 – 208.40 🏗️ Market Structure (ICT) NML is in a confirmed downtrend from its 52-week high of 208.40. The stock has carved out a clear series of Lower Highs Lower Lows from the Feb–Mar peak. It recently made a structural low near 120 (April) and has been attempting a recovery — but that recovery has stalled and is now rolling over again, signaling weakness. BOS (Break of Structure) confirmed bearish at ~180 when price broke below the prior consolidation range CHoCH attempted near 145–153 zone but failed to hold — price is back below EMA20 and EMA50 📦 ICT Order Blocks TypeZoneStatus🟢 Bullish OB141 – 143.90 (22 May)Price sitting right on it — critical test🟢 Bullish OB148.50 – 156 (20 Apr)Now acting as overhead resistance🔴 Bearish OB157 – 163 (21–24 Apr)Strong supply zone, will cap any rally The current price (142.39) is sitting directly on the recent Bullish OB (141–144). This is a key decision zone. 💧 Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) Bearish FVGs exist in the 148–157 region left over from the April breakdown. These unmitigated gaps act as magnet zones for a short-term bounce attempt — but also as ceiling for any rally unless strong volume pushes through. 📈 Indicators IndicatorValueReadingEMA20144.65Price BELOW — bearishEMA50147.93Price BELOW — bearishEMA200155.82Price well BELOW — bearish trendRSI46.7Neutral — not oversold yetMACD-1.42 vs Signal -1.21Bearish, histogram still redATR144.72Moderate volatility The EMA stack is fully bearish (price < EMA20 < EMA50 < EMA200).

A break below 140 confirms the OB is invalidated and next stop is 135–129. If you want to buy: Wait for price to either (a) reach 120–129 and show a clear bullish CHoCH with volume, OR (b) reclaim 148 with strong volume and close above EMA50 #NML #PSX

#AIRLINK | The triangle is real — and so is the resistance. The 199 → 118 range compressed into the apex. Today: tested 150.80. The descending trendline from 199 is doing its job. Right level, wrong day. Plan unchanged: daily close > 152 = trigger, < 140 = invalidation. No break, no trade. Best traders don't predict. They wait for permission.

A country that doesn't invest can't compound. A household that doesn't invest can't escape. Pakistan: ~270K active PSX investors. India: 150M retail demat accounts. Pakistan: 270K investors / 240M population = 1 in 900 people India: 150M demat accounts / 1.4B population = 1 in 9 people India's per-capita penetration is still 100x ours. The gap isn't capital. It isn't intelligence. It's literacy. And literacy is the single highest-ROI investment we still don't make. #PSX

The IMF wants Petroleum Levy at Rs100/litre by FY27 — up from under Rs10 a decade ago. That's not a tax policy. It's a structural inflation regime baked into every transaction. SBP can't cut its way out of arithmetic like that. Equity tape priced it months ago: → Autos & discretionary capped despite rate cuts → Cement under pressure as transport costs compound → Solar & electrical names leading as the math forces switching Charts knew. The IMF just made it official.

A week where the yield curve steepened, the oil bill nearly doubled, and the Test team got swept 2-0 in Bangladesh. Pakistan losing on every chart this week. Hopefully next week the structure improves — in something. x.com/i/trending/20567211091…

The PSX has been pricing this for two years: → IPP stocks trade below book as capacity payments aren't trusted → Industrials priced on captive power as grid demand has left → Solar & electrical names lead as that's where cash flow migrated Power policy is the lagging indicator. The tape is the leading one.

The 12M cut-off jumped 110bps in one auction. That's not a cut cycle as that's the market telling SBP it doesn't believe one. The equity tape reads it too: → Banks bid as they earn the higher spread → Cement & infra capped as dev spending is the first cut → Dividend payers & exporters lead as cash flow > duration The market isn't laughing. It's repricing.

Everyone calling the next KSE100 leg. Index at 164K, "macro tailwinds," "cycle turning," etc. Index sometimes doesn't move. Stocks do. Show me three names breaking confirmed levels and I'll believe the leg. Until then, my watchlist sits at the gate: #DGKC 188 · #FFC 525 · #ENGROH 260

DGKC | 1H — Reversal Confirmed After 9 sessions of grinding sells from the May 7 high (198.44), structure has finally turned on the 1-hour chart. First session where the bears have lost control of the tape. What changed today: ✓ Descending trendline from 198.44 broken cleanly ✓ Bullish CHoCH printed ✓ BOS above the 178 prior swing ✓ Breakout candle is the heaviest 1H volume bar of the last two weeks (~2M vs. 200–400K avg) ✓ Higher low established at 173 — swing-low sequence has flipped up Multi-TF read: 1H: bullish — fresh trigger today 4H: bullish bias, awaiting close confirmation 1D: still inside the broader 140–198 base; daily close > 188 needed to graduate the signal Levels: Resistance — 188 (first reaction high) / 194.07 (upper CB — expect friction) / 198.44 (major swing; daily close above = trend reversal confirmed on the higher TF) Support — 178–180 (breakout zone / retest target) / 173 (higher low — hard invalidation) / 168 → 160–150 if structure fails Plan: → Preferred entry: 178–180 retest, SL < 173. R:R ~1:3 into T2. → Aggressive entry: at market ~182.50, SL < 173, smaller size. → Targets: 188 → 194 → 198. → Invalidation: 1H close below 173. What earns conviction to hold past 188: Two consecutive 1H closes above 188 on above-average volume, and/or a daily close > 188. Until then, treat the move as a counter-trend bounce inside a larger base. Setup is clean. The longer-term tape from 275 → 140 was brutal, so size for survival and let the levels do the work. The upper circuit at 194.07 is real friction — don't chase into it. Views personal · Not investment advice · DYOR #PSX #DGKC #PakistanStocks #Cement #TechnicalAnalysis

Pakistan’s market leadership is becoming increasingly concentrated, and the latest report from JS Investments on the JS Momentum Factor ETF gives a strong indication of where institutional momentum is currently flowing. The most important takeaway is that JSMFETF has effectively become a major play on Pakistan’s ongoing energy cycle. Nearly half of the portfolio is now allocated to Oil & Gas Exploration companies, with key holdings including Oil & Gas Development Company Limited, Pakistan Petroleum Limited, Mari Energies, and Attock Refinery Limited. Alongside this, the fund also maintains exposure to strong financial and tech names like Meezan Bank and Systems Limited. What makes this interesting is that momentum investing is completely rules based. It does not follow emotions or headlines. It rotates toward stocks already showing relative strength and institutional accumulation. Right now, the model is clearly favoring energy and selective financials. The long term performance has also been impressive. Since launch in 2022, the ETF has delivered cumulative returns of nearly 264%, despite Pakistan going through inflation shocks, currency devaluation, IMF pressure, and political instability. At the same time, investors should understand the risk profile. Momentum strategies perform best in trending bull markets but can reverse sharply during corrections. Current positioning is also heavily concentrated in commodities, which increases sensitivity to the global oil cycle. Big picture, this ETF reflects an important shift in PSX where capital continues moving toward sectors with dollar linked earnings, pricing power, and balance sheet resilience rather than speculative narratives. #PSX #KSE100 #ETF #Investing #PakistanStockMarket

The key variable is not the size of the initial disruption but how long alternative supply mechanisms can compensate. Oil markets are increasingly resilient to shocks, but not to prolonged physical bottlenecks.... Damn! ☠️

At this point petrol prices don’t get announced they get revealed like plot twists in a drama series damn ... 💀

The recurring theme in recent energy moves is policy inconsistency. Pricing, supply planning, and demand assumptions are not moving in sync, which creates inefficiencies that ultimately show up as cost and reliability pressure on consumers.

This is less about daily payments and more about long term contractual design risk. If capacity commitments are misaligned with actual demand, the system naturally shifts into fixed cost burden regardless of usage, which becomes a fiscal drag over time.

Japan’s 10 year yield hitting the highest level since 1997 is basically a sign that long term borrowing costs are rising after decades of ultra cheap money. It matters because Japan is one of the biggest global lenders, so when its yields rise, global markets quietly start adjusting expectations for interest rates, liquidity, and risk everywhere. In simple terms, money is getting more expensive again in a place that kept it extremely cheap for a very long time.
