Daily Technical Forecast
Based on the earlier price action, the direction of the index today is likely to be determined by trader reaction to the short-term pivot at 6298.00.
A sustained move over 6298.00 will signal the presence of buyers. If this creates enough upside momentum, we could see a rally back to 6351.50.
A sustained move under 6298.00 will indicate the presence of sellers. This could create a labored break into a 50% level at 6272.00, a Fibonacci level at 6253.25 and an uptrending angle at 6235.00. Since the trend is up, anyone of these prices is capable of providing support.
