STOCK MARKET - JAKARTA. The Jakarta Composite Index (IHSG) closed 0.13% lower at 7,349.021 on Thursday, February 22, as investors took profits after the recent rally.
The index had gained more than 5% in the previous two weeks, hitting a record high of 7,456.77 on February 17.
William Hartanto, a market observer and founder of WH-Project, said the IHSG is likely to move in a range of 7,275-7,396 on Friday.
"Technically, the IHSG is still moving with a bullish candlestick above the MA5 indicator and is still above the 7,300 support level," he said.
"However, the MACD indicator is sloping down, indicating that the IHSG is entering an overbought phase."
