Technically, the index’s recent rise came as a result of its dependence on the important support level 34,352.96, which coincided with its support for its simple moving average for the previous 50 days. Its previous short-term trades, as shown in the attached chart for a (daily) period, are under the control of the main bullish trend in the medium term. In addition to that, we notice the beginning of a positive crossover on the RSIs, after they reached oversold areas. This is compared to the movement of the cursor, which suggests that a positive divergence is beginning to be formed.
That is why we expect more rise for the index during its upcoming trading, as long as support remains at 34,352.96, to target the first resistance levels at 35,631.00.
