    Zoujaj - Technical Analysis chart on Daily Price and Volume

    • Analyzing the historical chart reveals that after reaching an all-time high of SAR 133.6 in February 2006, the stock underwent a significant decline, dropping to SAR 30.
    • Although it rebounded from this support level to hit SAR 70, but encountered resistance there, causing the price to dip below 30 and eventually settle at SAR 18.5.
    • Following this, the stock entered a lengthy consolidation phase, attempting to gain upward momentum.
    • Unfortunately, it faced rejection near SAR 49, which pushed the price down to SAR 12.8.
    • After another extended period of consolidation, the stock made an effort to break through the SAR 49 resistance in February 2021 but was unsuccessful.
    • The price then consolidated once more. However, in September 2024, the stock finally made a successful breakout, achieving a significant milestone after nearly sixteen years.
    • If the price can maintain itself above SAR 50, we could anticipate a robust rally in the near future.
