Below the Wedge we have Sell Side Liquidity Order block. Where Smart money is buying where retail were selling. This gives a strong signal that high buying volume was trumping selling.
Very bullish for the stock.

Shoprite still showing downside despite the bounceHead and Shoulders formed on SHP.
It broke below the neckline and now its been coming down on the downtrend.
We can expect the bounce up, before the downside.
200>21>7 - Bearish
RSI<50
Target R177.11
CONCERNS: The JSE ALSI is setting itself for upside due to the Symmetrical Triangle.
This might cause a disturbance in shorts with retailers but right now the bias remains short.
JSE ALSI 40 Symmetrical Triangle wait for break up to 81,637Symmetrical Triangle seems to be forming on the JSE ALSI 40.
This is where price constricts into a triangle that is not facing up or down.
We now need the price to break above the Apex, which will send the price higher.
The beauty about Symmetrical Triangles, is that they are generally continuation patterns to the prior trend.
With the up flag pole before the triangle confirmed, means we will expect a break up.

The right shoulder is not fully ripe yet, so we can expect a blip of upside to form the RS.
Once the price breaks below, then we'll see the next leg down.

UPDATE Spar hit the target price R103.61 after a 15% crash!Inverse Cup and Handle formed on Spar and price broke below the brim level.
This sparked fear and lead to a ton of selling and supply.
We had other indicators confirm for the downside to come.
200>21>7
RSI<30
And yesterday, the price went down 15% striking right through the target at R103.61.
Smart Money Concepts
Above the handle, formed a Buy Side Liquidity Order Block.
This is where Smart Money came and swept buying orders and sold into them, which caused the crash.
And it looks like Spar wants to drop even further! But I'll let you know.
Life Health showing downside to R16.23 but with a warning!Inverse Reverse C and H has formed on Life Health.
The price did close below the brim level which also happened to be on the 200MA.
This is a big test for the company.
Once the price breaks below 200MA, there is a high chance of it closing the gap and dropping further.
21>7
Price -200 - Test
RSI<50 - lower highs
Target R16.23
It is a medium probability trade to take on.

UPDATE Shoprite short playing along nicely thanks to the rand Since the last trade update, SHP has been on a strong trajectory down.
It formed a large Head and Shoulders on the daily chart which then the price broke below the neckline.
We had other indicators confirming downside including:
200>21>7 - Bearish
RSI<50
The target remains at R177.11
With fundamentals, I don't have much to say except the negative effect that the weakening rand could be putting pressure on Shoprite.
There are a couple of reasons for the price to drop when the ZAR gets weaker including:
Higher Import Costs
A weakening rand means it's worth less compared to other currencies.
If Shoprite imports goods from other countries, it would have to spend more rands to buy the same amount of goods.
This increase in costs could decrease profits, which in turn could cause the share price to drop if investors expect lower future profits.
Inflation Pressure:
A falling rand can lead to inflation as the cost of imported goods rise. Even the Finance Ghost just spent R70 on a Sausage Roll in Cape Town! That's crazy!
High inflation can erode consumers' purchasing power, potentially leading to a decrease in consumer spending.
Shoprite, as a major retailer, could be adversely affected by this trend, leading to a drop in its revenues and, consequently, its share price.
Economic Uncertainty:
Currency depreciation often reflects broader economic instability or uncertainty.
This can lead to decreased investor confidence not only in the rand but also in South African companies, including Shoprite.
This lower confidence can result in selling pressure on Shoprite shares, leading to a fall in its share price.
TARGET REACHED for KAP Limited at R2.25 - WarningReversal Diamond Formation formed on the Daily chart.
This formation is a normally a big fight between the bulls and the bears.
Once the price breaks below it, sets the bar for the next momentum slide.
Which in this case was down.
We had other indicators confirming the downside to come including.
200>21>7 _ Bearish
RSI <30 - Bearish
And our first target was at R2.25 which hit yesterday.
It was a LONG hold but at least, some traders would have banked daily interest from shorting. Right now it's dangerous to just buy the stock because the price is so low. instead we need the market to turn and move in an uptrend establishment before we buy. Until then, I expect the market to continue to drop which I'll save the analysis for another day.

Above the second rounding top is a Buy Side Liquidity Order Block.
This is where Smart Money came up swept buying from (long traders) and stops from Short traders.
They sold into the buying, which caused a price drop.
Hence, they are predominately short in the market.
Pick N Pay downtrend about to continue to R23.20 - Fundamentals Downtrend has been forming on Pick n Pay since 8 Dec 2022.
It's been a difficult period for retailer and looks like there is more downside to come.
200>21>7 - Bearish
RSI<50 - Lower highs
Target R23.20
Apart from its distribution channel issues, I think the weakening rand is the main culprit for retailers downside.
There are a few fundamental reasons such as:
Import Costs:
Pick n Pay, like many other retailers, imports a significant portion of its products.
When the rand weakens, the cost of importing goods becomes relatively cheaper.
This may lead to lower procurement costs for Pick n Pay, allowing them to reduce prices and remain competitive.
Reduced Demand:
A weakening rand can indicate economic instability or uncertainty, consumers may feel worried about their finances and may become more price-sensitive and demand lower-priced goods.
This gives Pick n Pay the undesirable incentive to respond by reducing prices. (Not that we've seen this!)
Supplier Negotiations:
When the rand weakens, suppliers may face higher costs for raw materials or imported goods.
In order to maintain their business relationships and secure supply, suppliers might negotiate lower prices with retailers like Pick n Pay.
These cost reductions can be passed on to consumers through lower prices.
Inflation Pressure:
A weaker rand can lead to higher inflation. Imported goods become more expensive, which can lead to higher overall prices for consumers. If inflation rises faster than wages, consumers may cut back on spending.
Trading Success Stoppers Part 1Trading as you know is a fantastic alternative to grow your wealth.
However, it is not without its challenges.
In fact, there are several success stoppers that traders face that can derail their trading efforts.
Let’s look at four of them.
STOPPER #1: Same Old Routine
One of the biggest success stoppers for a trader is falling into the same old routine.
It is easy to get into a rut and continue doing the same things day in and day out.
However, this can lead to a lack of progress and stagnant trading results.
Yes you need the same ‘ol strategy, risk management rules and criteria for a consistent track record.
But you also need to be open to try new things and adapting to changing market conditions.
You can do this by:
~ Backtesting and forward testing other strategies.
~ Adapting new markets into your trading
~ Identifying new market environments
~ Even improving your current indicators and chart layouts
Always looking out for better brokers, chart platforms and sources to help your trading
Improving your calculators and trading tools.
STOPPER #2: Self-Doubt
This can cripple a trader’s confidence and ability to make sound trading decisions.
It is natural to experience doubts and fears when trading.
But make sure you don’t let it take over and lead you to emotional decisions, doubting during drawdowns and missed trading opportunities because of how you feel rather than what the charts say.
To overcome this success stopper, you should focus on building your confidence and self-belief through trusting your proven track record.
You can do this by keeping a trading journal to track your successes and failure.
Also seek out the advice of a mentor or coach, and regularly review their trading plan to ensure they are on the right track – to help with your own confidence.
STOPPER #3: Procrastination
Procrastination is a common success stopper for traders.
It is easy to put off making trading decisions or taking action on a new trading strategy.
However, procrastination can lead to you never taking action which means:
No trades
No consistency
No growth
No results
To overcome this success stopper, traders should develop a sense of urgency and take action quickly.
Adapt the 1,2,3 JUST DO IT mentality as I mentioned in the previous video.
Break down larger tasks into bite sized and more manageable ones and set deadlines to complete on time.
STOPPER #4: No Big Idea
Finally, having no big idea or vision for their trading can be a major success stopper for traders.
You need to know your goals, strategy, risk profile and trading personality.
When you do this you will have the BIG idea on what you need to progress and thrive.
Stop these stoppers before they stop you from achieving trading greatness.
Tune in tomorrow for Part 2!
UPDATE Growthpoint hit its target at R11.88 warning - Load ShedH&S formed on Growthpoint.
We mentioned this was one of those low probability trades.
However, the overall trend won (as most of the time it does) and down it went.
The target hit at R11.88
And unfortunately, I see further downside to come.
LOADSHEDDING AND PROPERTY COMPANIES!
It seems like the 6 hour - 12 hour day Eskom load shedding is having somewhat an effect on property companies.
I'm no property expert but I assume there would be problems like:
1. Load shedding can lead to tenant dissatisfaction and increased vacancies.
2. Power outages disrupt property management and maintenance operations.
3. Frequent load shedding creates a negative perception of affected areas. As they say Location, Location Location
4. I imagine the power solutions (generators, alternators etc...) are extremely costly investments for backup with these property companies.
And just in general, power outages are having a broader economic impact, affecting businesses and consumer spending.
