"The BEI index fell slightly but technical factor would bring back the index to a positive area," Samuel Sekuritas` analyst Yualdo Yudoprawiro predicted on Tuesday.

HD Capital`s analyst Yuganur Wijanarko predicted technically correction could continue, therefore, he recommended buying major shares like Adhi Karya (ADHI), Alam Sutera (ASRI), Telekomunikasi Indonesia (TLKM), and Energy Mega Persada (ENRG).
