Daily Swing Chart Forecast

Based on the early trade, the direction of the index is being controlled by the Fibonacci level at 6583.00.

A sustained move over 6583.00 will indicate the presence of buyer. This could lead to a labored rally with potential upside targets lined up at 6642.00, 6654.50, 6703.50 and 6760.75.

The trigger point for an acceleration to the upside is 6760.75. A move through this level could drive the index into 6849.25 then 6867.75.

A sustained move under 6583.00 will signal the presence of sellers. This could trigger a steep break into 6480.50 then 6439.50.

Look out to the downside if 6439.50 fails as support.
