The market has remained robust as Trump shifted most of his focus away from a potential trade war with China to Syria.
This has helped the market bump higher as it tries to break above its 200-day moving average. The market remains in a bullish phase, while a sustained break above the 200-day moving average around 50,800 could see the market take another rally towards its 2018 high.
Long term investors should buy the dips until it breaks above this level.
