Since the bearish price reversal (circled red) highlighted in a previous note, the South Africa 40 Cash Index has continued to correct from all-time high and overbought territory.

The long-term trend remains up for the index. As such trend followers will still look to keeping a long bias to positions on the index.

For long entry a bullish price reversal off one of the labelled support levels on our chart, or a close above the dotted trend line might provide the next opportunity.

In a bullish reversal scenario, traders might look to using a close below the reversal low as a stop loss consideration.

Should the price break above the dotted trend line before reaching support at 77600, a close below the 77600 level might be used as a stop loss indication.

Overhead resistance at 80485 provides the longer-term price target for the index.
