The South Africa 40 Cash Index looks to have finally found some interim support at the 66400 level. Marked with the black arrow we see an intraday reversal off the level (hammer). The reversal is supported by an oversold signal and is also just off the 200-day simple moving average (200MA) (blue line).

Ideally, we would like to see some follow through with a positive close on today’s candle. In this scenario, 69240 becomes the initial resistance target from the move, while a close below 66400 might be used as a stop loss indication for traders. A break of 69240, confirmed with a close, would consider 70700 as a further target from the move.
