South Africa 40 Cash Index update and cash adjustment notification

Source: IG Charts

The bullish price reversal (circled black) just above the 58950-support level and from oversold territory, has yielded some strong gains for the South Africa 40 Cash Index.

Traders who are long might consider trailing their respective stops up to the 62030 mark, while targeting the next level of resistance at 63900.

Our preference is not to look for new long positions from current, but rather manage existing longs with a trailed stop or exit towards a 63900 limit (take profit).

We continue to consider the trading environment for the South Africa 40 Cash index to be rangebound. In turn, as the index moves higher towards range resistance and into overbought territory, we will start to look for signs of a bearish price reversal to once again consider new short positions.

Cash adjustment

Traders of the South Africa 40 Cash index will want to note that the index is set to adjust (on Tuesday the 13th September) for a dividend in the underlying, currently estimated at 208.6 points.
