Absa showing downside to R135.00 - SMC also appliedPATTERNS:
Absa is forming one of the two
Either an Reverse Inverse Cup and Handle .
Now price is broken below the handle, the chance is that it'll head to R135.60.
Or it's forming a head and shoulders where the Right Shoulder is now ready to form (upside) then downside to the target.
21>7 - Bearish
Price<200 Bearish
RSI<40 - Bearish
SMC:
We can see a Bearish Fair Value Gap has formed. This is where the 1st and 3rd candle does NOT overlap in price.
The market now will want to rebalance and move up into the gap to fill the orders before it comes down.
Hence, this is when the Right Shoulder will form.
If the price goes back up it'll give a short term BUY SMC to R185.00
If the price continues down then the target will be R135.60.
Regardless, the overall trend and bias is down in the medium term.
Sappi showing strong downside to R42.39 thanks to a TriangleSymmetrical Triangle formed on Sappi.

RSI<30 - Bearish
Target R42.39

UPDATE: PPC Diamond Formation formed after consolidationW Formation formed previously as you saw.
And the signs were all bullish with MAs and RSI
But then there was a consolidation period forming a Diamond Formation, breaking down.
I guess, my bias is in a way changing to down - but I'm not convinced.
Even with the bank collapse, resource crash and crypto exchange debacle - PPC is holding quite solidly.
I will keep my target at R4.29
UPDATE: Goldfields hit stop loss - but I warned you Inv Rev Cup and Handle formed and the price broken below the Brim level.
There were mixed signals with the indicators and I warned you that we need the price to break and confirm below the 200MA.
Which obviously, it tested reversed, Smart Money jumped in swept liquidity and pushed the price up.
However, it's not just Smart Money to blame.
Gold had a bit of reverse as investors had no idea where to put their money in.
They are freaking out with the bank crisis in 2023. They are freaking out with Silvergate and crypto exchanges still liquidating.
They are freaking out with these fears of high interest rates coming in the US.
So as bitter as it hit the stop loss, it gives us a fantastic hedge for long side with Gold incase we get a pump catalyst with the market soon (which I doubt).
I will be waiting for bulish signals to buy Goldfields. Let's see.
TARGET HIT City Lodge hit the target at R3.71 but I'm not happy Bear Diamond Pattern formed on City Lodge a few weeks ago.
We then had a strong break down, which showed a big collapse to come.
We set our target at R3.71 which many traders thought I was crazy.
I told them I hope I am wrong, because I don't like when companies drop in value who offer great value to customers.
But the charts showed downside and I couldn't be biased.
The target hit and unfortunately, we still see downside to come.
I'll be waiting for the next formation in the meantime.
TAKE PROFIT Bidvest raised stop loss hit and locked in profitsCup and Handle formed on BVT
We had 7>21>200 - Bull
RSI >60
Raised stop R266 hit
Target R285.44
SMC
You can see a FVG Bullish formed where the 1st and 3rd candle didn't overlap.
Hence we have had a pull back in a flag formation, going to test the 50% level (Gann Box).
Once we get a break to the upside, we might have another chance to go long again and ride it up .
But right now I'm out of the trade.
UPDATE: Transaction Capital hit my Take profit but I'm pissedFalling Range formed on TCP and there was a trend channel bearish
200> 7<21
All the signs were showing downside to a target at R26.46. Which it hit.
If I held it just one more day it would have gone to R14.50.
But that's trading for you.
Now with the gaps and panic selling, we can expect some accumulation to form bringing the price up to close the gap. Then we will need to wait for the next formation and pattern to form.
I'll await and let you know
MTN going up to R136.82 before going down to R90.29Head and Shoulders formed on MTN yet again.

SMC (Smart Money Concepts)
Bearish Fair Value Gap formed hence the big candle down.
Now due to the 1st and 3rd candle not overlapping, means we can expect the price to move up close the gap before moving down again
This gives a buy signal on the short term side with the Bearish FVG to R136.82

7=21 price>200 - Reversal

This coincides with the fall in JSE and other markets since the SVB collapse. I expect more Blue Chip stocks to tank until the world enters some type of equilibrium and solace.
Life Health Care group showing strong upside to R21.39 WARNINGW Formation since Sep 2022. It's been moving in a sideways range without any promising direction.
Then in February we had a breakaway gap.
This is where the price jumped from the sideways range into an uptrend.
And most sellers and stop losses were hit.
This showed strong upside to come.
7>21>200
RSI>50
Target R21.39
WARNING
Gaps like to close 70% of the time. And I don't generally like taking any trades where there are prior gaps.
I'd take this trade as a medium probability one.

USD/ZAR target hit at R18.48 & we have another dreadful target It pains me to say our USD/ZAR trade hit the take profit level at R18.48 and now it looks like further upside for the USD is on the way.
Another Cup and Handle has formed, which has broken above the neckline.
And if we place the stop loss below the handle, we get the next target at R19.71.
7>21>200
RSI>50
Target R19.71
With interest rates on the rise in America after Daddy Powell mentioned more upside to come, meanse investors will continue to invest in the US dollar with high income yielding assets like Bonds, Money Markets and High interest savings rates options.
As long as interest rates (or the fear of them) continue up, we will continue to see US dollar strength which will bring down many other exotic currencies like the rand.

Merafe showing downside to test R1.00 again read fundamentalsM Formation formed on the daily
and we are just waiting for the price to break below the neckline.
21>7- Bearish
Price <200 - Bearish
RSI <50 lower highs
Target R1.08
CONCERNS:
Many resource companies are showing downside to come. It seems like smart money knows something the public doesn't. This corresponds to the strengthening dollar. Ever since the US dollar started strengthening in February 2023, Resources markets have been showing volatility with no conviction of upside.
Economically speaking for Merafe, the price of ferrochrome (Which is used in the production of stainless steel) is denominated in US dollars, which means that changes in the value of the dollar can impact the price of ferrochrome.
This is because a stronger dollar makes it more expensive for buyers in other countries to purchase ferrochrome, as they need to exchange their own currency for US dollars in order to make the purchase.
This can lead to a decrease in demand for ferrochrome, which can put downward pressure on the price.
Additionally, a stronger dollar can make it less profitable for ferrochrome producers in countries with weaker currencies to sell their products on the global market. This can lead to a drop in supply of ferrochrome, which can also put downward pressure on the price.
