Recommendation : Short
Last : 23,954
Target price: 23,600 reached
Protective stop: 24,500

A Doji candlestick near the gap ended a mini rally. This gap is also near to its overhead strong gap resistance zone that range from 24,700 to 25,010 again, which also coincided with the Fibonacci 38% correction point of the decline. This resistance zone has to be surpassed for further upside; otherwise we could see a price correction again. Stochastic is turning down and MACD is bullish.

This index was capped at the gap resistance zone which coincided with the Fibonacci 62% correction point at 2933.
