Thungela
UPDATE: Thungela continues it's land slide since the H&S break Unfortunately, the price did break below the H&S and Thungela showed a ton of supply and selling coming in.
This means, the target is still set to R91.93. The support at R121.50 was the last hope for the share to hold and bounce.
But now it's clear that this resource miner is in trouble.
Now let's cover the fundamentals.
Coal Prices Affecting Profit:
Thungela's profit dropped significantly due to weak coal prices. In a recent half-year report, their profit fell by 69%.

Price Volatility:
Thungela's stock has shown high volatility, with an average weekly movement of 5.5%, which is higher than the industry average.
UPDATE Thungela continues its downside to R88.70 with a new H&SLarge H&S formed since since May 2022. The price broke below the neckline and since then it's been on a one way trajectory.
That was until it reached R123.96 in May 2023... THe price since then has consolidated in a sideways manner and has formed yet another Head and Shoulders.
With the price breaking below its neckline, we are seeing further signs of downside to come.
And the target remains EXACTLY at R88.70.

UPDATE: Thungela still showing further downside to target R88.70Large H&S since May 2022 formed with the coal mining company.
It broke down in January and since then has been sliding on a gradual downtrend.
Other indicators confirmed downside to come including:
200 >21> 7 - Bearish (Red)
RSI <50 Red
The target still remains to be R88.70 and it looks like coal is still in very murky water.
UPDATE: Thungela still showing strong downside to R88.70Large H&S cine May 2022
This is one of those medium investment trades, that you need to hold for a LONG period of time.
Luckily with CFDs, when you short stocks you gain interest, so it doesn't matter how long you hold.
The longer the better.
Any way, the price broke below
200 >21> 7 - Bearish (Red)
RSI <50 Red
Target remains at R88.70
Thungela This chart shows (my) JSE:TGA levels of interest, the price won't necessarily follow any of these anticipated moves.
The stock has to remain above R154 otherwise R120 becomes a possibility. It's a question of where are there any buyers that are willing to buy the shares at these levels and push the price up. Currently, the stock is trading below declining MAs, it's been like this YTD so it's not just an ex-divi thing.
On the far end there's valuation, what's the fair price for the stock/company. Nonetheless, the R40 dividend is juicy but at what price? I have no position.
TRADE UPDATE: Thungela showing more downside to R88.70 - SMCLarge H&S sine May 2022
It broke down and has been on a trajectory path downside.
Indicators are still bearish
200 >21> 7 - Bearish (Red)
RSI <50 Red
Target R88.70
SMC: We know the overall trend is down. There has been a BOS (Break of Structure) twice.
And now with the big candle there is a testing zone to see if there is buying or demand.
Once we get a break down, the price will continue on its path to R88.70.
ThungelaAs expected, JSE:TGA came with great results. >100% revenue and profit increases, and a fat dividend of R40/share. Great.
The share price is testing the previously anticipated low of near R177/share; the share price has been moving downwards since the last dividend declaration. Hopefully buyers will step in at current levels, especially dividend hunters. It won't be nice to see JSE:TGA shed R40 on ex dividend date at this level.
Will buyers step up?
UPDATE Thungela still showing medium term downside but is slowLarge H&S since May 2022 formed which gave a Medium term trade.
Since it broke down, I know it would take a longer period for the price to drop due to the size of the formation.
Remember, companies will try everything in their power to keep the price up and without a strong negative catalyst, the formation will either play out or forma another pattern in the interim.
The bias is negative until we see any upside potential.
