Prices are rising as expected after putting in a Hammer candlestick above support marked by the bottom of a falling channel set from late May. Initial resistance lines up at 10024 at the underside of a major rising trend set from the late-July 2011 bottom. A break above that targets the top of a steeper channel at 10045. Alternatively, a break below support exposes 9895.
