Selling Pressure Continues on BIST 100 on Friday, at Critical Level

The selling wave that has been affecting Borsa Istanbul throughout the week has extended into Friday's trading. The BIST 100 index is hovering at a critical threshold amid declining investor risk appetite. With a generally bearish trend prevailing in the market, it remains uncertain whether the index can hold at these levels. Analysts attribute the selling pressure to negative sentiment in global markets, geopolitical risks, and rising domestic inflation concerns. In particular, the acceleration of foreign investor outflows is increasing downward pressure on the index. From a technical perspective, support levels for the BIST 100 are being closely monitored. Experts emphasize that strong buying volume is needed for the index to sustain its current levels; otherwise, selling could deepen. As investors review their positions ahead of the weekend, market volatility is expected to persist into the next week. The BIST 100's position at a critical level is prompting cautious moves among investors. This is not investment advice.
