The index finally broke above the neckline of the pattern in the 14,240 pts area at the end of last week and the upward move is being continued today. From a technical point of view, extension of the upward move towards the textbook range of the inverse head and shoulders pattern at 15,200 pts may be on the cards now. However, a break above the 14,575 pts resistance would be needed.
