  • Last week we noted 2 long entry points, 1 from the pullback (13 Nov & 14 November Technical Tuesday) and 1 from the flag breakout (17 Nov highlighted below)
  • Traders committed to the long side would be reaping the benefits as the initial target at 54230 has now been realised and the projected flag target at 55350 nears
  • For traders not already committed to the long side, an intraday pullback towards 53980 might be another entry opportunity
  • With the recent upside move we are trailing our failure level (stop loss level) from a close below 52840 to a close below 53350

SA40 CASH INDEX 17 NOVEMBER

1. Trader following this week’s guidance would have found long entry around the short term range support before experiencing a small drawdown

2. Using the failure level at 52840 would have kept you in the trade which would now have moved back into profitable territory

3. What was a range (highlighted blue) turned into a brief pullback in the shape of a bullish flag formation

4. These patterns are considered very bullish and allude to continued gains

5. The price is now breaking out of the pattern giving breakout traders another long opportunity

6. The previous high at 54230 is the initial target favoured, while the bullish flag pattern predicts a further upside target at 55350

7. We continue to use a close below 52840 as the failure level for this set up, but if it gathers momentum will be looking to trail the stop and will update accordingly
