JSE All-Share index Solid support level holding [Signals done on alsi future]

Recommendation: Hold long.

Current Trend: Short- and med-term sideways. Long-term sideways to up.

Strategy:  Hold current long position. Take profits into line 3.

(Daily)

Chart Setup: Last week the index retested its critical support zone of line/s 1. It gave a classic bullish reversal candle off (as circled) for going long. I'm looking for more short-term upside.

  • Its short-term Stochastic is overbought, which is one concern. It’s weekly Stochastic though (not shown) is not overbought yet.
Capture

Strategy Details: Hold current long position. Take profits at/near line 3 (58 490 - 58 700).

Target: To line 3 at 58 490 - 58 700 to take profits. Further resistance is at line 4 at 59 180. A breakout beyond there will be very significant (and buyable).

  • To the downside, support is still the zone of lines 1 (55 000 - 54 780), then line 2 at 54 430.

Stop-loss: A close below 56 140. Take partial profits at 58 080, and raise the stop from there to a breaking of its prior two-day low.
