The South Africa 40 Cash Index has made a good attempt at the 80075 target following the break above the 77050 level. The price has however started to form a bearish price reversal from overbought territory (blue circles). The overbought and reversal signals suggest that traders who have been long into the push higher, might look to exit their respective long trades at current levels.
The long-term trend for the index remains up, as such we continue to prefer looking for long positions into short term corrections of this trend.
