Caner Yılmaz – Director of Technical and Quantitative Analysis, BIST 100: Bakırcı GYO's IPO presents a technically robust entry signal. Opening positions just above the Fibonacci 38.2% level are reinforced by the Ichimoku cloud's bullish orientation. Nevertheless, with a tightening rate environment and FX risk, setting stop‑loss below 5% is essential for risk management. Short‑term volatility is expected to be high, yet the medium‑to‑long‑term dividend yield and portfolio diversification offer an attractive return profile for investors.
