KSE100 PSX KSE 100 IndexPSX_DLY:KSE100SmartMoney-ARCash is king! Update by "Smart Money AR" We start our buying here! (Read carefully) We said in our previous videos ... keep cash in hand before the US-Iran conflict even escalated. Now volatility is here, and we move from pure defense to structured opportunity. 📉 Market Snapshot The KSE 100 Index is now roughly 20% down from its all-time high, placing the market in a meaningful correction zone , driven by geopolitical risk, not normal profit-taking. This is panic-based repricing. And panic creates volatility before it creates opportunity. 🌍 War Continuity Risk Rapid oil price surge due to war can significantly increase external account pressure and inflation risk for import-dependent economies like Pakistan, so investors should prioritize defensive blue-chip stocks with strong cash flows and pricing power. As long as tensions remain elevated: Risk premium stays high Foreign flows remain cautious Intraday volatility continues Markets do not bottom at peak fear ...they bottom when fear starts stabilizing. Any indication of geopolitical cooling can trigger a sharp V-shape recovery. That is how markets behave when uncertainty begins to ease. But until structure confirms it, we stay disciplined. 🕯 Technical Update An inverted hammer has formed on the daily chart yesturday, showing buyers attempted to absorb selling pressure. However, confirmation is required. We need a strong daily close above the inverted hammer’s upper wick. Without that close, it remains a potential reversal not a confirmed bottom. 🎯 Strategy Now — Structured Capital Deployment Divide your available cash into three disciplined tranches: 1️⃣ First 1/3 Positioning Phase Deploy selectively now.
