Caner Yılmaz – BIST 100 Technical & Quantitative Analysis Director: "This issuance eases short‑term liquidity strains while offering a volatility‑dampening effect in the bond market. Fibonacci retracements and Ichimoku clouds suggest a supportive price formation for this instrument. Particularly for 6‑12‑month positions, the crossover of moving averages (MA50/MA200) signals potential buying opportunities. Investors should monitor the modest yield curve dip to recalibrate risk‑return balances."
