Please click on this link to review our previous updated daily outlook.

Key elements

  • The Index has managed to stage a bullish breakout (as depicted by the yellow box) above upper boundary of the former ascending channel. This price action represents an acceleration of the on-going bullish trend in place since 28 July 2015 low.
  •  Based on the Elliot Wave Principal, the Index is likely to be in the midst of an extended bullish impulsive wave iii with a potential target at 11890 (2.618 Fibonacci projection from the 28 July 2015 low @1am to 30 July 2015 low @9pm.
  • The hourly Stochastic oscillator has just exited from the oversold region.
  • The upper (resistance) and lower (support) boundaries of the steeper ascending channel (in dark blue) stands at 11790 and 11530 respectively.

Key levels

Intermediate support: 11530

Pivot (key support): 11480

Resistance: 11790 & 11890

Next support: 11300

Conclusion

As long as the key 11530/11480 support holds, the Index is likely to stage another round of potential rally to target 11790 with a maximum limit set at the 11890 resistance.

On the other hand, a break below the 11480 daily pivotal support is likely to negate the bullish tone to see a slide to test the next support at 11300.
