Volatility continues on the Athens Stock Exchange, with dividend cuts affecting investor sentiment and keeping sellers in the driver's seat for the third consecutive session.

The important thing for the General Index is the defense of the 1,400 support, which is the key buffer before the average of the last 200 days (1,339).

However, the Greek market seems to have run out of fuel, and this is making it noticeably difficult for it to move towards the 1,460-point resistance, which has been missing since the end of May.

More specifically, the General Index is down slightly by 0.34% to 1,415.30 points, losing about five points compared to Tuesday's close (1,420.06 points).

The arc of the daily fluctuations extends five points (from 1,414.25 to 1,419.75 points), with the turnover of the transactions ranging at 6 million in the first 20 minutes.

The banking index, which is 9% away from this year's highs, is trying to stabilize at current levels, and as a result is at +0.15% and 1,229 points.
