However, the index may be set for a rebound as it managed to halt downward move at the support zone marked with the 38.2% Fibo level (28990 pts) of the upward impulse started at the turn of January and February. The near-term resistance zone to watch ranges above the 23.6% Fibo level (29200 pts) Source: xStation5
