We can see from the daily chart, currently there is a resistance at 11829 (50d EMA) which coincide with the 200w EMA in weekly chart.
.
For indicators, MACD shows sign of of crossing the centerline soon, but base on my another fast leading indicators, it is actually at oversold region and it is showing sign of moving down. With the resistance at 11829, DJI is likely to come down for the next few days. For a continue short term uptrend, we need to have a higher low formed.
