A sustained move over 4010.00 will indicate the presence of buyers. Taking out 4038.00 could trigger another acceleration to the upside since there is no resistance.
A sustained move under 4010.00 will signal the presence of sellers. This will put the index in a position to form a potentially bearish closing price reversal top. If the move creates enough downside momentum then look for the selling to possibly extend into the minor 50% level at 3940.50.
A close under 4010.00 will form a closing price reversal top. If confirmed, then look for a 2 to 3 day correction with 3940.50 to 3917.50 the next likely downside target area.
