The weakening of the JCI was also predicted by Binaartha Sekuritas analyst M. Nafan Aji Gusta Utama. He assessed that technically there is a potential for further correction to the index's movement today, so that there is a chance to go to the support area.

Reliance Sekuritas Indonesia analyst Lanjar Nafi expressed a slightly different opinion. According to him, technically the JCI has the potential to fluctuate today. However, the index will try to close in the green zone with support and resistance areas at the levels between 4,757 and 4,901.

"The impact of the second wave of the COVID-19 outbreak in a number of countries has put the majority of assets at risk of selling off again," said Lanjar.
