Deep Analysis

1. Market Summary and Overview

On Wednesday, 7 October 2026, at 19:44, the BIST 30 (XU030) index stood at 15.013.83, having closed ; the BIST 100 (XU100) closed at 12.122.94, down 2.03 per cent from 12.374.26; the USD/TRY exchange rate stood at 49.19, trading at 49.14 with a 0.11 per cent increase; the XU030’s daily performance in dollar terms stood at -2.49 per cent. The daily closing figures indicate that broad selling pressure prevailed and that the indices tested critical support levels. Apart from the relative resilience of the banking index (VAKBN +6.6 per cent, YKBNK +7.8 per cent on a 60-day basis), heavy selling was particularly evident in holding company, automotive, retail, metal and aviation shares. Although the announcement after the market close of FTSE Russell’s decision not to place Turkey on its ‘Advanced Emerging Market’ status watchlist provided a positive backdrop for foreign portfolio inflows, the intraday risk-off sentiment and global macroeconomic uncertainties (the IMF’s oil warning, Fed-driven global market volatility) overshadowed the immediate impact of this development. Although the CBRT’s statement in its inflation assessment that “the underlying trend has eased” signalled a dovish tone consistent with the decline in September’s CPI figures (year-on-year 27.38 per cent, month-on-month 2.07 per cent) and the month-on-month 1.84 per cent), it signals a dovish tone; however, whilst real interest rates remain in positive territory (policy rate at 37 per cent), expectations of a liquidity squeeze continue to create pricing pressure in non-banking sectors. Portfolio performance (Test portfolio: -5.86 per cent, start date 6 September 2026) has outperformed the indices (XU100 -13.3 per cent, XU030 -9.0 per cent over the same period), the absolute return remains in negative territory.

2. Sector-Based Evaluation

Upon examining the heat map data and signal intensities, a clear divergence between the sectors can be observed. Banking In the sector, Vakıfbank (VAKBN) and Yapı Kredi (YKBNK) stood out on a 60-day basis with gains of +6.6% and +7.8% respectively, while Garanti BBVA (GARAN), Akbank (AKBNK) and İş Bankası (ISCTR) delivered negative returns in the same period, deepening intra-sector divergence. In VAKBN and YKBNK, Wave Trend (WT) "BUY", long-term EMA "BUY" signals and regression channel positions (31%, 46%) with Pearson correlation coefficients (r=0.74, r=0.64) indicate trend strength.Aviation & Transportation Within the sector, whilst TAV Airports (TAVHL) has demonstrated resilience with a gain of +7.9 per cent over sixty days, Turkish Airlines (THYAO) and Pegasus (PGSUS) are issuing ‘STRONG SELL’ signals with losses of -12.2 per cent and -17.8 per cent respectively; this situation indicates that TAVHL’s airport operating model is less sensitive to airlines’ fuel costs and demand fluctuations , signalling a ‘STRONG SELL’; this suggests that TAVHL’s airport operating model is less affected by the airlines’ fuel costs and sensitivity to demand. Energy & PetrochemicalsWhilst Tüpraş (TUPRS) is at the top of the list with a gain of +42.8% over sixty days, its technical structure is giving a ‘SELL’ signal (WT=SELL, Channel 4%, r=0.85), indicating a risk of profit-taking or a technical correction; Enka Construction (ENKAI) and Astor Energy (ASTOR), meanwhile, are under heavy selling pressure. Holding company In their shares, Koç Holding (KCHOL) and Sabancı Holding (SAHOL) carry a weak outlook with "SELL" signals,RetailIn BİM (BIMAS) and Migros (MGROS) carry a weak outlook with "STRONG SELL" signals,AutomotiveIn Tofaş (TOASO) and Ford Otosan (FROTO) carry a weak outlook with "STRONG SELL" signals,Metal & MiningIn Kardemir (KRDMD) and Ereğli Demir Çelik (EREGL) are under selling pressure.Defense In the sector, Aselsan (ASELS) fell by 7.25% on the day and a ‘SELL’ signal, the news of a $195 million contract (as detailed in the company’s financial data) acts as a supportive catalyst from a fundamental analysis perspective; however, the technical structure has not yet confirmed this.

3. Technical Visual Analysis

When examined in the context of EMA sequences (Short/Medium/Long), Wave Trend (WT), regression channel positions (Channel %) and Pearson correlation coefficients (r), the number of shares with a sound trend structure remains limited. "Vakıfbank (VAKBN)"]: The short-term EMA showing ‘WAIT’ and the medium- and long-term EMAs showing ‘BUY’ suggest that the market may be in the pullback phase of an uptrend. The WT ‘BUY’ signal supports this view. The regression channel at the 31 per cent level (close to but within the lower band) indicates that the price is trading at the lower boundary of the trend channel, whilst r=0.74 signals strong trend consistency. Yapi Kredi (YKBNK): A short-term ‘BUY’, medium/long-term ‘WAIT’ setup implicitly signals an early-stage entry opportunity. WT ‘BUY’. The channel is at 46 per cent (close to the middle band); r=0.64 indicates moderate trend consistency. TAV Airports (TAVHL): It signals the start of momentum with a short ‘BUY’ and medium/long ‘WAIT’ structure. WT ‘BUY’. However, the channel at 63 per cent (close to the upper band) and the r=0.02 value (no trend / mean reversion) indicate that the price is trading at the upper levels of the channel and that trend-following strategies may prove ineffective here, whilst the risk of mean reversion is high. Other shares ( AKBNK, GARAN, ISCTR, KCHOL, SAHOL, SISE, TCELL, AEFES, BIMAS, THYAO, PGSUS, MGROS, EREGL, TOASO, FROTO, ENKAI, ASTOR, GUBRF, TRALT, SASA, TRMET, TTKOM, PETKM, KRDMD, TUPRS) have an overall technical score at the ‘SELL’ or ‘STRONG SELL’ levels. In particular, BIMAS (Channel -19 per cent, r=0.75) and TRALT (Channel -2 per cent, r=-0.16) have closed below the lower band of their regression channels, entering the oversold zone; however, the r values (0.75 for BIMAS) demonstrate that the downtrend is very strong and directional, emphasising that ‘bottom-fishing’ entries are risky. Whilst ASELS remains at the lower boundary of its trend channel at 9%, r=0.19, the WT “BUY” signal may offer momentum-based resistance against the weakness in the technical structure.

4. Oscillator and Momentum Readings

When TradingView oscillator summaries (RSI, MACD, Stochastic K, CCI20, ADX) are combined with technical visual analysis, it becomes clearer in which direction momentum is moving. Yapi Kredi (YKBNK): " It stands out with a ‘STRONG BUY’ recommendation (Buy=17/Sell=1/Neutral=10). RSI 54.59 (neutral-bullish), MACD +0.03 (above the zero line, slightly bullish), StochK 78.63 (approaching the overbought threshold), CCI20 +61.58 (strong bullish momentum), ADX 19.34 (weak trend strength). The high StochK and CCI levels increase the likelihood of a short-term consolidation or pullback, whilst the MACD remaining above zero indicates that the trend has not yet broken down. TAV Airports (TAVHL): " ‘Buy’ recommendation (Buy=13/Sell=5/Neutral=10). RSI 53.83, MACD -0.26 (negative), StochK 72.71 (high), CCI20 +40.82, ADX 15.54 (very weak trend). A rise in price (or sideways movement) whilst the MACD is negative carries the risk of a bearish divergence; the ADX trading below 20 confirms that the trend is directionless, with the price consolidating horizontally against the upper band of the channel (63 per cent). "Vakıfbank (VAKBN)"]: " ‘Buy’ recommendation (Buy=11/Sell=7/Neutral=10). RSI 51.0 (neutral), MACD +0.17 (positive), StochK 66.22 (neutral), CCI20 -39.86 (negative momentum), ADX 14.04 (very weak trend). The fact that the CCI is negative whilst the MACD is positive indicates that momentum is weakening but that the structure has not yet broken down (long-term EMA ‘Buy’). Emlak Konut GYO (EKGYO) (stock code): " "Buy" recommendation (Buy=11/Sell=7/Neutral=10) and technical screening result: "General Sell". RSI 50.99, MACD -0.08, StochK 78.79 (overbought), CCI20 -1.73, ADX 16.08. The oscillators are diverging from the technical structure (General SELL, Long SELL); this share has not been included in the table. STRONG SELL stocks showing this signal (THYAO, PGSUS, MGROS, BIMAS, GUBRF, TOASO, FROTO, SISE, ASELS, SAHOL, TTKOM, ENKAI, ASTOR, TRALT, SASA, KCHOL, TUPRS, KRDMD, TRMET, EREGL, AKBNK, GARAN, ISCTR, TCELL, AEFES, PETKM), the RSI is generally in the 30–45 range (MGROS 37.65; BIMAS 37.19; SASA 31.76; TRALT 31.06; ASTOR 29.13), whilst the MACD is strongly negative, the CCI20 is deeply negative (between -50 and -180), and the ADX is ranging between 12 and 37, indicating that the downward trend is continuing. There is a possibility of a technical bounce (oversold bounce) in shares in oversold territory (RSI < 35, CCI < -100) (MGROS, BIMAS, SASA, TRALT, ASTOR, GUBRF, TOASO, FROTO, PGSUS, ENKAI) there is a possibility of a technical rebound (oversold bounce); however, as the ADX values support the continuation of the trend, these rebounds should be regarded as selling opportunities.

5. Risk Map and Scenarios

Base-case scenario (Base scenario – Probability ~55–60 per cent): XU030 is consolidating sideways with low volume within the 14.800–15.100 range. USD/TRY remains within the 49.00–49.50 range. The banking sector (VAKBN, YKBNK) shows relative resilience, underpinning the index. Selling pressure continues on holding company and industrial shares. Given the macroeconomic data (September inflation at 29.73 per cent, real interest rates positive), the risk of the CBRT easing policy prematurely remains low. The FTSE Russell decision supports foreign buying, but global risk appetite (VIX 15.31, DXY 101.79, US 10-year Treasury yield ~5.01 per cent) remains a limiting factor.
Optimistic Scenario (Probability ~20–25 per cent): XU030 tests and breaks through the 15.400 resistance level (previous close). USD/TRY falls below 49.00. The banking index begins an uptrend, led by VAKBN and YKBNK. TAVHL breaks through the upper band of the channel (channel 63% → 80%+) to initiate a trend. Dovish signals from the CBRT strengthen following the decline in inflation (annual 29.73% → forecast below 28%).
Pessimistic Scenario (Probability ~20–25 per cent): If the XU030 breaks below the 14.800 support level, it will extend its decline towards the 14.500–14.200 range. USD/TRY will test the 49,173 level. In global markets, the Fed’s ‘higher for longer’ tone (PCE 3.4 per cent, Core PCE 3.0 per cent, policy rate 4.0 per cent) and the IMF’s oil warning (Brent at 99.23 USD) dampen risk appetite. Should the long-term EMA ‘BUY’ levels for banking shares (VAKBN, YKBNK) be tested, systematic selling could come into play.
Divergence Strategies: Position sizes should be adjusted according to the risk-reward ratio. In shares such as VAKBN and YKBNK, which are giving a ‘BUY’ signal, partial purchases can be made, and the average cost can be reduced by adding to positions during pullbacks (VAKBN 32–33 TL, YKBNK 35–36 TL). For shares with a “STRONG SELL” recommendation (BIMAS, MGROS, THYAO, PGSUS, ASTOR, SASA, TRALT, GUBRF, TOASO, FROTO, ENKAI), if existing positions are held, these should be gradually reduced, whilst a pullback (RSI 40–45, MACD testing the zero line) should be awaited before opening new short positions. Stop-loss levels should be calculated based on ATR (Average True Range), and the cash ratio in the portfolio (not included in the data set; qualitative term: ‘cash buffer’) should be maintained at 15–20 per cent.
