In Technical analysis, we believe that “Volume goes with the trend
The current trend signals that we have a declining demand volume causing illiquidity.
Sellers who want to exit are more than buyers who want to enter the market ..
2/ Hyperinflation
Few stocks performed above the inflation rate at some point, but those who didn’t sell lost on inflation and then on market decline. Rational retail investor will consider converting the capital to USD than to maintain the portfolio, thereby exiting the market

4/ Forex Regulations
If a foreigner liquidates investments or receives dividends, are they able to withdraw usd?
It’s important to check purchases and sales by foreigners on #ZSE. It confirms they are exiting the market.
It always reduces liquidity and exerts pressure on the mkt
5/ Alternative markets
If the market is no longer efficient, rational investors , esp retail, will always migrate to a better option. We have gold coins, access to foreign crypto, stock and derivative markets.
