As one could notice on the chart above, this threshold seems critical for now (see double top pattern marked with 2 arrows). The index fell slightly after the release, but the move towards all time highs (area above 4,230 pts) could still be on the cards. On the other hand, 4,142 pts level, which coincides with the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of an upward impulse started on May 13, might be considered the first support. Source: xStation5
