South Africa 40 Cash Index
The South Africa 40 Cash Index looks to have found support at the 73395 level. The long-term uptrend remains intact, and the recent move lower suggests a short term correction of this trend.
Circled blue we see a bullish candlestick price reversal off the 73395 level. This suggests an end to the short-term correction and possibly renewed gains to follow.
For new long positions we would like to see some momentum following the price reversal, with a close above the 74420 level. Should this scenario confirm, 75830 becomes the initial resistance target from the move, while a close below the 73395 level might be used as a stop loss indication.
Should the price not manage to close above the 74420 level and confirm our long entry requirement, we will continue to wait for new long entry opportunities in line with the uptrend still firmly in place.
Adding to the bullish short-term view, the dotted blue lines on the price and the stochastic are showing a positive divergence from oversold territory.
Large cash adjustment expected
