South Africa 40 Cash Index
The South Africa 40 Cash Index has traded through our short-term targets and reached the overhead trendline resistance level of 79800. Circled red we see a bearish price reversal has now formed while the price of the index is in overbought territory. The reversal suggests that traders who have been long into the move higher might look to exit their positions at current levels while waiting for a new opportunity to emerge.
Trend followers will once again consider waiting for short term weakness to play out and end with a bullish price reversal, preferably around one of the labelled support levels, before looking for long entry once again.
Should this scenario manifest, we will update guidance accordingly with targets and failure levels.
