Accumulate

“As we moved halfway into January, the index has already lost 5%. Nonetheless, we believe this presents an excellent opportunity to accumulate shares thus expect the index to hover within the 1,565-1,580 range today,” says Rakuten Trade.

The index has declined by 5% in January so far, but this could be an accumulation opportunity.

Expected range for the index today: 1,565-1,580.
