Gold Fields showing strong upside still to R346.54W Formation formed on GFI.
It looks like a CUp and Handle but the second rounding bottom is more than 50% of the cup, so we call this a Short Formed W Pattern.
In some cases, you can say it's even stronger than the basic as the price failed to make a new low - showing how strong the buying is.
RSI>80 - Bullish
7>21>200

Vodacom in no mans land but watch out for BIG Order BlocksI mean...
I guess it's ok for range bounded trading.
Buy at the bottom of the range and sell at the top (short) then swing the other way.
But I guess more importantly, the bigger the range the bigger the Order Block is for when the price breaks out.
There are two Order Blocks that Smart Money will sweep.
Buy Side LIquidity - Where it could sweep it all the buying where they will sell and bring the price down.
Sell side liquidity - where it could seep it all the sells where they will buy to bring the price up.
UNtil we have a confirmed Break above SSL or BSL - it's going range bounded until then.
TRADE UPDATE Sappi breakdown with a markup before drop to R40.60Symmetrical Triangle formed on Sappi.
Broke below and has been coming down nicely.
200>21>7 - Bearish
RSI<50- Bearish
We recently had a markup phase which is where the orders are being filled from the recent drop. We need to retest the high (resistance) and price should come down. If it breaks above, it will be wise to place a stop loss and lock in profits as the trend will have turned up.
Right now, still bearish with a target to R40.60
TARGET Reached: TFG Short hit the target but there's still downInverse Cup and Handle formed on TFG
And the trend has been nothing but down.
200>21>7 - Bearish
RSI <50
Target R89.50
So what now? Well with the ongoing banking collapse and the trouble with financials, insurance and retail sectors mean we can expect the downside to continue.
I'm going to wait for the next setup before doing anything.

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
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.

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.
#APN Aspen Pharmacare looking constructive on the weeklies #jseScanned a couple of stocks on the JSE and it was tough to find many decent setups although Aspen is one that stood out for me on the LONG side.
3 reasons I think this setup is constructive and likely goes higher to at least R200
(1) Weekly price action has been making consecutive higher lows since bottoming out in August 2019. (showing relative strength in comparison to the market which has been moving lower.
(2) We are trading above both the 200 week moving average as well as the yearly Pivot.
(3) Divergency on RSI where RSI shows higher lows even though price made an equal low on the last move down.
I think one can buy this at current levels (approx R146.00), using a stop loss as a weekly close below 132 and a target of approximately R200. From a risk standpoint that's a risk of R14 for a target of potentially R54 which is quite decent.
Let's see how we go over the next couple of weeks

The breakout was definitely not a strong one. So, if there are strong prospects and investors want to protect the company, it could very well be a fakeout. Until then it's bearish until the trend turns.

CONCERNS:
This is one of those stocks that move in large Sideways consolidation areas for a long period of time. If the price breaks out of the range, we can get some traction to the upside. But this is not a trading haven.
Adcock showing strong upside to R57.61 but with warningInv Head and Shoulders formed on Adcock and now the price is above the neckline showing upside to come.
7>21>200

Bullish
CONCERNS:
This is a very volatile, flimsy and illiquid stock compared to the Blue Chips. I call these unhealthy charts which seldom work well with breakout patterns. Maybe as a Weekly analysis or Monthly will show some more promising price action, but daily is dangerous by just looking at it.
Target R57.61

Coronation Fund in a box formation - waiting for a breakBox formation is strong with CML.
We need to wait for the price to break up or down from the formation, or it can be a long sideways move.
If it breaks up the target will be R46.00
My bias however is more to the bearish side.
and so if the price breaks below the current uptrend line and below the box formation, it's pretty much a given.
Provided that that the breakout remains and doesn't become a fakeout again.
21>7 =200
RSI<50
Will have to wait and see.
