Technically, we notice the beginning of a positive divergence formation in the relative strength indicators, after reaching areas that are highly saturated with selling operations. This was exaggerated compared to the movement of the index, with the start of positive signals from them, considering its impact on the breach of a bearish corrective slope line earlier in the short term, with continued pressure. Positive trading above the simple moving average for the previous 50 days.

Therefore, our expectations indicate more rise for the index during its upcoming trading, as long as the 33,248.60 support remains stable, especially if it breaches the important and stubborn 34,281.36 resistance, to then target the first resistance levels at 35,372.30.
