Please click on this link for a recap on our previous daily outlook/strategy.

Key elements

• Current price action has managed to hold above the pull-back support of the short-term ascending channel bullish breakout and formed an hourly bullish “Hammer” candlestick pattern which indicates a potential bullish reversal in price action.
• The hourly (short-term) Stochastic oscillator that gauges momentum has just exited from its oversold region which suggests a revival in upside momentum.
• The next intermediate resistance stands at 23530 which is defined by the swing high of 23 October 2015 and the 3.61.8 Fibonacci projection from 02 Nov 2015 low @9am to 02 Nov 2015 high @11am projected from the 02 Nov 2015 low @3pm.

Key levels (1 to 3 days)

Pivot (key support): 22880

Resistance: 23530

Next support: 22530 & 22260/22180 (weekly pivot)

Conclusion

Short-term technical elements are still positive and as long as the 22880 daily pivotal support holds, the Index is likely to shape a further push up to target the 23530 resistance in the first step.

On the other hand, a break below the 22880 pivotal support is likely to see a “bull-trap” (failure bullish breakout) for another round of decline to test the next support at 22530 before the key 22260/22180 zone (pull-back support of the ‘Double Bottom” bullish breakout).
