In the last SA40 Cash Index video, we continued to respect the upward trend in place with 48260 and 48650 as the next upside targets considered. We did however note the index trading in overbought territory and were hoping to get a second chance at long entry should a price pullback occur.
SA40 Cash Index call and review
The latest on the SA40.
Since the last video, the index has rallied through both upside targets although not afforded the pullback for long entry opportunity.
The move up has taken the index past the all-time high at 49300, reiterating the firm uptrend currently in place. Significant highs are often used as stop levels for those trying to short the market. A move above this high could be triggering some forced buying from those covering their short positions at present aka we are in short squeeze territory it would seem.

While waiting for a pullback has kept us out of the index for the last few weeks, it has served us better than trying to pick a top and shorting the index. The guidance for this week remains the same as previous in that we continue to wait for a pullback from overbought territory to initiate new long positions. 48260 and 48050 are levels we will consider for such a long entry opportunity.
