JSE Top 40 Index (Spot)

16 de set. de 2019

The JSE Top 40 spot index has advanced strongly since developing a bottom in late August. Off the lows of 47618, the index has appreciated by 3527 points or 7.4%. At current levels, the price trades at prior support of 51336 and is nearing the prior breakdown level of 51546 which took place on 30 July. While it is possible that these level could be breached, it would also be natural to expect some consolidation following the strong recent move higher and while there is no clear short/sell signal at present, traders who took a long from the late August lows may want to partially reduce their long positions. I will be monitoring the index for a potential short/sell.
