Northam just broke out of its cup and handleCup and Handle formed on Northam and the momentum is looking good for upside.
As many brokers and market maker in SA don't allow trading PLatinum, the only next options we have are platinum stocks. So this one is one that is almost mimicking the precious metal.
We are seeing price above 20 and 200MA. And this means it's a High probability analysis...
Target R167.75
ALSI
REVERSAL Idea - Capitec Bank - first down to R2400 then up 2900Broadening Pattern has formed with Capitec.
When this pattern forms it bounces between ranges.
Right now it bounced off the top of the range, and is most likely to come down 50% from the most recent rally.
Once it comes down to a target of R2,400 then it could consolidate move sideways and then breakup to the next target at R2,900.
This is a little different from breakout trading, but I was asked for an analysis around this.
Impala Platinum new target now UP to R126.27M Formation is now turning into a W Formation
We never had the break down and now it is looking up, along with the platinum price.
So we need to adjust course.
Now we are waiting for a breakout above the Neckline of the W Formation then the next target will be around R126.27
Nature: High Probability
Price>20
Price>200
UPDATE: Sasol new upside in line to R242.67 target Since the last major update where we expected Sasol to reach a low of R112.00
Now the price has broken above the downtrend, we are seeing a more optimistic view.
And this is in the light that Brent Crude price is going up nicely along with a weaker US Dollar.
So, I am looking for upside for Sasol to around R242.67 now just to retest the resistance from the previous breakout.
UPDATE: Arcelormittal found major support - Still warningThese illiquid and low volatile penny stocks need weekly charts to remotely see the biger picture.
There are two facts.
The price broke below the Inv Cup and Handle with price bring below both 20 and 200 MA.
Second, the price has stabilised around an extremely strong and important support level at R1.00.
If it breaks R1.00 it's doomed to 20c.
I'll try be an optimistic but keeping to my analysis for now.
PPC target has been extended to R4.60W Formation formed on PPC.
The price broke out of the downtrend since January 2024.
and we have further confirmation with price above both 20 and 200MA.
The target has therefore been increased to R4.60.
With the new building of the malls in South AFrica and the property boom, I don't blame a company like PPC to have invested interest from the shareholders.
UPDATE: Target reached Nampak at R271.81 what's next?Nampak shot up a LOT faster than I ever imagined.
And it destroyed the first target at R271.81.
Problem is the uptrend is extremely steep which can signal flat panic amongst the buyers. I would now wait for a 50% pull back from the most recent low and high to about R243 and then some consolidation before it runs up again.
It's still very bullish but there needs to be some form of equilibrium for the market.
Let's see.
JSE Top 40 setting itself for great upside to 84,346Cup and Handle has formed since September 2023.
We are waiting for an imminent breakout.
With the new cabinet in play, stronger rand and weaker US Dollar with Granpa Biden bringing the US down. We are in for a potential rally with the JSE.
Question is, will the AMerican markets lead the JSE too?
When the US dollar weakens, we generally see a rally in their markets - which is great.
High Probability analysis as the
Price>20
Price>200
Extended uptrend has shown demand and buying being stronger.
Target 84,346
LONG opportunities coming our way.
UPDATE: Absa Target reached at R181.95 what next?Cup and Handle formed on Absa, broke up and out of it.
On 12 June I said it was imminent for a breakout to the upside, but I had NO clue how fast this thing was going to rally.
And it was only a Medium Probability Trade
Price>20
Price<200
Now that the price has shot up, it obviously is silly to just buy and go long without waiting for a trend confirmation signal in my case.
But we do have a DOWN gap (Breakaway gap) that has a 70% chance of closing based on history.
However, we need some bullishness before we do anything.
Is Absa setting itself for upside to R181.95Cup and Handle seems to be forming on Absa.
There was little supply (selling) which caused a major push up on the bank stock.
Banks have lagged many of the leading markets, and so hopefully they play catch up once the JSE TOp 40 picks up yet again.
RIght now it's in Medium Probability territory.
MPT
Price>20
Price<200
Target R181.95
BIdcorp Diamond formation ready for a break ups to R526?We need a Weekly chart as there is too much chop on the daily.
Bidcorp has been moving nowhere slowly since April 2023.
And during this time it's been moving in a Bullish Diamond Formation.
Why it's bullish is because the previous trend and pole was up.
SO we are expecting a sideways move before the break up and out of the pattern.
Next target will be at R526.74
UPDATE: PPC shifted the analysis to upside target at R4.26W Formation formed on PPC and there has been a breakout of the downside since December.
The M Formation that formed I expected to breakdown never confirmed and so, the analysis has switched.l
It's not easy making analysis probabilities with low liquid penny stocks like PPC.
Funny I never thought PPC and Penny Stock would be in the same sentence but here we are and it shows how unpredictable markets are.
Price>20 and Price>200 - HPT
Target R4.26
UPDATE: IMP continues to disappoint with the commoditiesM Formation is easily turning into a Triple Top
Price<20
Price>200
Need to wait for breakout for the confirmation. Then the first target will be at R38.07.
It's a bearish outlook for platinum and is a downer for the commodity, but hopefully we get a stock market run up to counter for the drop.
UPDATE: Nampak smooth sailing to the first target at R271.81W Formation formed on Nampak, and we waited for the break.
Then we got the price above 200MA.
Now it's already over half way towards the first target at R271.81.
Looks good and if one wants to lock in profits by moving the stop loss above breakeven, it's perfectly fine to do so.
Netcare breaks out of year downtrend and ready to rally toR14.73Rev Cup and Handle formed on Netcare, we then had a MAJOR swoosh up in one day.
This broke not only above the 20MA and 200MA but also above the January downtrend.
So the movement is looking very positive for the healthcare stock.
Target R14.73
MOTUS breaking out of a 18 month DOwntrendAs of this week, Motus is finally breaking up and out of the 17 month downtrend.
It's also forming either a Triple bottom of Inverse Head and Shoulders.
Once the price breaks above the neckline, we could see a strong move up.
Price>20MA
Price>200MA
Bullish bias with a target of R144.77
ADCORP needs weekly to see the bigger picture drop to R1.50Adcorp is showing supply overpowering demand.
The daily chart is very illiquid and it's difficult to make an analysis with such candles.
So we pumped it up to weekly.
There is both an M Formation and Rectangle formation in the process.
The price needs to break down to ultra confirm the downside to come.
THe target remains at R1.50. So let's observe and report.
IMP low probability for IMP but still more likely to break downM Formation turning into Triple Top with IMP.
I am hesitant making this analysis as the JSE is showing strong upside to come along with international markets.
But the charts are still saying the price is likely to test demand to the upside and if it's weak this thing can drop big time down to R38.00.
We definitely need to wait for the breakout and a strong down candle. But that's what the analysis says.
Price<20
Price>200
Need to wait for breakout
Target R38.07
Old Mutual trading styles for buys - Target R13.70There are many different ways to trade Old Mutual looking at this chart.
1. Reversal trader
They will wait for the support to establish as it's done at R10.00 and then will buy and hold until it reaches the top of the range.
2. Breakout trader
WIll wait for the price to go up and complete the W Formation where it will breakout and trade up to R13.70
3. High probability trader
This one will have to wait the longest for the price to not only close above the W Formation but also close above the Downtrend and the 20MA and 200MA.
Either way, Old Mutual does look bullish as things stand.

The Trading Matrix: 14 Vital Lessons DecodedThe Matrix is a movie where no matter what age you watch it, you’ll gain a different perspective from it.
And there is a wealth of knowledge and ideas that you can unlock when you dig deep into the movie.
A world where the line between reality and illusion blurs, much like the iconic film.
The Matrix, with its deep philosophical underpinnings and action-packed storyline.
It isn’t isn’t just a cult classic; it’s a treasure trove of lessons for traders.
Let’s decode a few trading lessons you can learn from The Matrix.
Building Confidence: The Neo Path
Remember Neo’s metamorphosis?
From Thomas Anderson, a man riddled with doubt, insecurity and worry.
To Neo, the confident savior of humanity.
This journey is similar to one that a trader takes.
You begin with uncertainty, doubt and worry.
You then develop greed and ego.
The market disciplines and humbles you again and again and again.
But then you develop the edge. You adapt to the trading world with gains, losses, drawdowns and different streaks.
And then you develop self confidence and resilience as a trader.
Like Neo, you might stumble, but remember, every setback is a setup for a comeback.
Confirmation Bias: Dodging the Bullet
Much like Neo’s iconic bullet-dodging scene, traders must learn to dodge the deadly bullet of confirmation bias.
Neo created some form of movements and hand gestures in order to stop the bullets.
But what he truly did was create confirmation bias that he was beyond the physics and laws of the universe. And this system is how he was able to go beyond the normal.
Create or adopt a trading system that with Confirmation bias, you can identify high probability trades.
And even though, you’re using some pseudo system that no one knows about. You’re simply turning chaos into financial order, to have a mechanical process involved – to grow a consistent account.
Only by actively seeking diverse viewpoints can you dodge the bias bullet and make decisions that are truly informed.
Take the Red Pill: Embrace Reality
Taking the red pill is about confronting the brutal truths of the market.
The trading world is not a bed of roses; it’s volatile, unpredictable, and sometimes harsh.
Those traders who take the blue pill –
Only look to win.
Only look to build their portfolio with an insane win rate.
Only look to go all in on certain positions.
When you take the red pill, you take on the realities of trading.
You acknowledge the risks.
You prepare for the drawdowns.
You know you’re going to take inevitable losses.
You understand that your past trading does not indicate future results.
Those oblivious traders – get destroyed.
Like Neo, when you choose the red pill, you choose to see the market for what it truly is, warts and all.
There Is No Spoon: The Power of Perspective
The “There is no spoon” scene teaches us the power of perspective.
In trading, the market isn’t your enemy; it’s your perception that needs adjusting.
Bend your mind, not the spoon.
Adopt a system which has a flexible mindset.
Be ready to pivot your strategies in response to market dynamics.
Success comes not from forcing the market to your will, but from adapting your will to the market.
Understand the Code – Understand the Matrix
Trading involves deciphering patterns, much like understanding the Matrix’s code.
The market moves up, down and sideways.
Given.
But with Price, Volume and probabilities – there is a proliferation of world of opportunities with each market.
Develop the ability to read charts, trends, and indicators.
Recognize that behind every market movement, there’s a code to be cracked.
Agent Smith and Market Manipulators
Just as Agent Smith represents a threat within the Matrix, market manipulators pose real dangers.
Stay away from markets with:
Too much volatility
Too many gaps
Unusual trading activity
Stay vigilant, and don’t be swayed by pump-and-dump schemes or misinformation.
They will disrupt your trading journey.
Training Simulation: Practice Makes Perfect
Remember the scene where Neo was practice fighting in simulations with Trinity and Morpheus?
He was testing, improving, adapting and learning.
You should do the same before you risk your hard earned money.
Test, Test, Test, Forward Test and Real Test.
Use demo accounts and simulations to hone your skills.
Make mistakes where it’s safe to do so, and learn from them without risking your capital.
Morpheus’s Faith: Belief in Yourself
Morpheus believed in Neo before he believed in himself.
Cultivate self-belief.
Trust in your analysis, your strategy, and your decisions.
Without belief, fear and doubt will cloud your judgment.
The Architect’s Plan: Strategy is Key
Understand the market’s architecture.
Develop a trading plan and stick to it.
Adjust as necessary, but always with the structure of your overall strategy in mind.
Free Your Mind: Emotional Control
Neo’s journey was as much about freeing his mind as it was about saving the world.
In trading, emotional control is paramount. You need to learn to let go of Ego, Fear and Greed.
These are your greatest enemies.
You can do this by:
Having a strong back tested track record to prepare for what is to come.
Risk even less until you don’t feel the losses.
Real trade with the smallest positions to get an idea on how the markets work and will operate when you incorporate costs.
Train yourself to remain calm and objective, regardless of the market’s ups and downs.
FINAL WORDS: The Path to Financial Awakening
Trading, is much like deciphering the Matrix.
It is an ongoing journey fraught with challenges, revelations, and the need for constant adaptation.
The key points to remember with the Trading Matrix are:
Building Confidence: The Neo Path
Develop self-belief through education and resilience.
Confirmation Bias: Dodging the Bullet
Seek diverse viewpoints to make informed decisions.
Take the Red Pill: Embrace Reality
Embrace the reality of the markets with all its risks.
There Is No Spoon: The Power of Perspective
Adjust your perspective and adapt to market dynamics.
Understand the Code – Understand the Matrix
Understand the code behind market movements.
Agent Smith and Market Manipulators
Stay vigilant against market manipulation.
Training Simulation: Practice Makes Perfect
Use simulations to hone your trading skills.
Morpheus’s Faith: Belief in Yourself
Cultivate self-belief and trust in your decisions.
The Architect’s Plan: Strategy is Key
Develop and stick to a well-thought-out trading plan.
Free Your Mind: Emotional Control
Master your emotions to remain calm and objective.
