ZAR
Anticipating a bounce on ABSAJSE:ABG is trading at quite a strong support level. If it fails to break through and bounces off support, I will consider entering a long position. The stochastic also looks like it is gearing up for a turn.
Alternatively, if it breaks through support and forms lower lows, we could be looking at a short position.
Long on BHPJSE:BHP has broken upwards through the triangle I mentioned in my previous idea. Couple with this, it has broken a fractal level, so I am entering a long position.
SGL - Bearish Double TopJSE:SGL has formed a bearish double top. It is still quite a distance a way from confirming the signal, but let's keep an eye on it for when it does confirm the short position.
BHP - Symmetrical TriangleJSE:BHP has formed a symmetrical triangle chart pattern. This is a neutral pattern, so it isn't indicating an up or down move as of yet. Once it breaks through either side, we will be able to enter a trade. Let's keep an eye on it for now.
USDZAR Resisting Ascending Triangle?USDZAR currently in an ascending triangle.
A lot of bad news is alredy in the rand price. Local fundimentals is unlikely to initiate a breakout above the ascending triangle.
The other side of the equation is the Dollar strenghtening which can drive the rand price breakout above the ascending triangle. The dollar index DXY has broken medium term support and if such trend persists, the triangle breakout is unlikely.
My contrarian view is for ZAR strengthening over the short term.
APN - Possible gap close coming upTraders don't like gaps in the price and there has been a large gap in JSE:APN since March this year.
The price ha finally reached the top of the candle that caused the gap, and if it confirms a break above the spike, I wouldn't be surprised if it goes all the way up and closes the gap. Let's wait and see what happens.
