Circled blue, we see the South Africa 40 Cash Index is finding short term resistance on the 72840 level. Should todays candle close lower (as is current), 71125 becomes the initial support target from the move.

We do however still consider the longer-term trend to be up and would therefore prefer to wait for weakness to play out before looking for long entry on a bullish reversal at one of the labelled support levels on our chart.

Alternatively, we would be looking for long entry on a price close above the 72840-resistance level. In this scenario, 74180 would become the initial resistance target from the move.

Cash adjustment / dividend

There is a 28.1-point cash adjustment expected on the South Africa 40 Cash Index on Tuesday the 2nd of May 2023.
