Al Jarhi added that closing Monday’s session above the support level of 6,365 points is a good sign for the All-Share Index and reflects a consistent performance nearing the important resistance level of 6.400 points, which if exceeded on Tuesday, the index is likely to test the two levels of 6,475 points and 6,560 points, respectively, before the end of January.
