Market commentary 2026/08/14: Selling pressure returns

The market experienced strong volatility as selling pressure intensified while testing the 1,800-point threshold. The index's failure to break above this level, coupled with higher liquidity and a sharp decline at the close, indicates that selling pressure is currently dominant. However, the index remains above the 20-period moving average, suggesting that the short-term uptrend has not yet been broken, while this support level should be closely monitored in the coming sessions.
