The bullish price reversal (circled blue) from oversold territory, highlighted in our previous note (below), for the South Africa 40 Cash Index has failed. This is noted by the price of the index having closed below the guided stop level at 70370.

While the short-term price correction has instead continued, the trend bias is still considered up as the 20MA (red) trades above the 50MA (green) which in turn trades above the 200MA (blue). The index now also trades back in oversold territory.

Trend followers might continue to wait out weakness and look for a bullish price reversal close to a lower level of support before finding long entry. The next levels of support are considered at 69400 and 67870 respectively.

No cash adjustment expected

The South Africa 40 Cash Index is not expected to adjust for a dividend in the underlying for the week commencing 10th of June 2024.

The South Africa 40 Cash Index has now confirmed a bullish price reversal off the 70850-support level. The price reversal is further supported by a move out of oversold territory.

In turn, a short-term resumption of the longer-term uptrend is considered, with 72185 the initial upside resistance target. A close below the reversal low at 70370 might be used as a stop loss consideration.

No cash adjustment expected

The South Africa 40 Cash Index is not expected to adjust for a dividend in the underlying for the week commencing 3rd of June 2024.
