Technically looking at the daily chart, the most recent low from the beginning of November bottomed at the 200 day moving average (green line). The last 12 days has seen the price gapped above the October high at 28,957.90, and pretty much stay above that level. The index has seen ups and downs but seems poised to make a run toward the 30,000 level (and we can see what happens then).
