Double Bottom forming on NaspersJSE:NPN has formed what could turn into a double bottom pattern. It formed a bottom on the 23rd of August and then again on the 15th of September. If it breaks through the high formed on the 7th of September, the pattern will be confirmed and then I think we could see a move up towards the resistance level at around 300000. A long with the current move, it is also showing signs of upward momentum based on the position of the stochastic and the MACD. I will wait for confirmation before entering, though.
Double Top forming on NedbankAlthough not confirmed yet, JSE:NED seems to be forming a double top pattern.
Here is the definition of a double top from investopedia: A double top is an extremely bearish technical reversal pattern that forms after an asset reaches a high price two consecutive times with a moderate decline between the two highs. It is confirmed once the asset's price falls below a support level equal to the low between the two prior highs.
Although it still has quite a distance to go, if it continues down and breaks through the "neckline" I think we could see a nice downward move all the way to the support level at around 15250. I will be waiting for confirmation before entering.
BIDVEST - Upward Channel with Upward MomentumJSE:BVT has been trading in a nice upward channel since November last year. It is currently trading just below the middle of the channel and seems to be on its way up. It is also showing some good signs of upward momentum based on the stochastic, MACD and the two EMAs that are crossing based on today's price action so far. If the momentum continues, I think we could see a move up to the top of the channel which also coincides with the strong resistance level at around the 22000 level.
MCG on the up?JSE:MCG is showing signs of great upward momentum. The stochastic and MACD indicators turned up last week and the two EMA's crossed in an upward direction yesterday as the final trigger for a long trade. We could see a love up towards the 12500 resistance level, and if it breaks through that level, we could potentially see it going all the way towards the previous highs at around the 14000 level.
WHL - Downward MomentumJSE:WHL has ticked all of the "indicator boxes" to signal a short trade. The EMA's crossed on Friday last week which was the final trigger sign along with the Stochastic and the MACD crossing downwards a few days earlier.
Today, so far, the price seems to be slightly up, but if it breaks through the lows formed on Friday, I will enter a short position.
ABSA - Bearish Engulfing off of Ascending ResistanceJSE:ABG formed a bearish engulfing candlestick pattern on 1 September which is a top reversal signal. What makes the signal stronger is the fact that it it coincides with the resistance level from the current longer term up-trend.
The MACD, Stochastic and now the EMA's are also showing signs of downward momentum. I think we could possibly be looking at a move down towards the 13500 area before turning back up again.
ARI - Possible Short positionJSE:ARI is showing some good downward momentum based on the stochastic and MACD and the EMAs which are about to cross downwards. I will wait until we get absolute confirmation from the EMAs before entering, but if it breaks lower than the low of today's candle so far, we should see a cross.
Potential Bearish Flag on ANGJSE:ANG made a string downward move early in August. Since then it has been consolidating in a slight upward direction. Although not confirmed yet, this might be the formation of a bearish flag pattern. If it breaks through the bottom of the consolidation area, we could possible see a downward move as far down as the length of the original flagpole. I will wait for confirmation first before entering.
Naspers upward MomentumJSE:NPN is showing good signs of upward momentum based on the stochastic, MACD and EMA's. It is also trading in a downward channel at the moment, so I would think that it has potential to make a quick move up to the top of the channel, but if it breaks through, I think we could see it go all the way to the resistance level at around 320000
Glencore showing signs of downward momentumJSE:GLN is showing signs of downward momentum based on the indicators of our momentum strategy.
The EMAs crossed in a downwards direction yesterday while the stochastic both crossed downwards the day before.
I think we could see a move down towards the previous support area at around 5780
IMP breaks out of consolidation zoneSince mid-May, JSE:IMP has been struggling to make lower-lows and found itself in a sideways consolidation period. With yesterday's upward move, it has broken out of the top of the consolidation zone. If the momentum continues, we could see a move up towards the 30000 resistance level.
Old Mutual - 200SMA Bounce with upward momentumJSE:OMU recently bounced nicely off of the 200 Simple Moving Average and started to in an upward direction. It is also showing signs of great upward momentum so I think we could be looking at a nice upward move towards the previous resistance level at around 1480
Bullish Flag on Purple GroupJSE:PPE had a nice upward rally at the beginning of June followed by a slightly downward consolidation period. Because of these moves, we have seen the formation of a bullish flag pattern. A bullish flag is a continuation pattern, therefore the expectation is that the price will continue upwards once the breakout has happened. So far this morning a breakout has occurred, but I may be inclined to wait until Monday before entering a long position. If you take the length of the "flagpole" into account the target for this trade should be around 190.
BID possible shortWith today's price action so far, JSE:BID seems to be showing some good downward momentum. Based off of the EMA's crossing today as well as the stochastic and MACD moving downwards it looks like a downward move is on the cards. I predict that it could move down to the 28000 support level which would coincide with the support level around the 200SMA.
SSW - Upward momentum within a downward channelJSE:SSW is showing some signs that it might be moving upwards for a bit. This is based on the EMA's crossing and the position of the stochastic and the MACD. It is, however trading in a downward parallel channel, so it might bounce off of the top of the channel and come down again. Bear this in mind when setting targets for this trade.
AGL UpswingJSE:AGL seems to be making an upswing at the moment. It recently formed a higher low and now with the EMAs crossing which was preceded by signals from the Stochastic as well as the MACD - I think we could see the upward momentum continue possibly all the way up to the resistance at around the 63500 area.
