SPK Extends Short Selling Ban Until April 24

The Capital Markets Board (SPK) has decided that the measures and regulations prohibiting short selling on the Istanbul Stock Exchange (Borsa İstanbul AŞ) will remain in effect until the close of the April 24 session. The short selling ban aims to protect market liquidity and price stability by limiting investors’ ability to sell borrowed shares. The SPK’s decision signals to market participants that the current restrictions will be temporarily maintained. The continuation of the ban could impact risk‑management strategies, especially during periods of high volatility. Investors may need to reassess and restructure their portfolios in light of the extended restrictions. This development may produce short‑term effects on Borsa İstanbul AŞ’s trading volume and price movements. Investors should closely monitor the SPK’s official announcements and make decisions aligned with their risk tolerance. This is not investment advice.

The SPK's extension of the short‑selling ban could support the price by reducing seller pressure. Current technical indicators (RSI 65, positive MACD, SMA20 above SMA50) also signal an upward trend. However, as it is in an overbought region, a limited upside is expected in the short term.

The Capital Markets Board’s (SPK) decision to extend the short‑selling ban could alleviate negative pressure on the banking sector and provide short‑term price support. For AKBNK, the current Relative Strength Index (RSI) is elevated, yet the 20‑period simple moving average (SMA20) remains above the 50‑period SMA (SMA50) and the MACD line is above its signal line, indicating a short‑term bullish bias. However, once the ban is lifted, the market may readjust, so the rally is expected to stay limited.
