$JSEAFT - Afrimat Ltd: Stock Fades Weak Trading UpdateAfrimat has held steadily above the critical level of 4366 as per my previous analysis, link below.
On Tuesday 18 April, Afrimat released a voluntary trading update for the FYE'2023 and cautioned that:
EPS is expected to be between 448.6 cents and 476.6 cents, representing a decrease of between 15% and 20% and
HEPS is expected to be between 445.2 cents and 472.3 cents, representing a decrease of between 13% and 18%.
The stock closed the day 3% down but yesterday was up 4.12% and looks to be building upside momentum.
The near-term critical level to watch is 4650 and can be used as a stop-loss level for aggressive traders but 4366 remains the invalidation level for the bullish continuation outlook.

$JSEAFT - Afrimat: Can Bulls Defend 4366?Afrimat had a good run after the update I did on the 13th of December 2022, link below.
For a company that has recently been classified under General Mining on the JSE, we know how cyclical commodity stocks can be so it's good to take profit and update charts regularly.
The move from 4366 to 6066 is labelled as a five wave advance.
The correction from 6066 has thus far unfolded in three waves, as to be expected, but it is too early to call a bottom.
For the bullish sequence to remain valid, the bulls will have to defend 4366.
FY2023 ended at the end of February so be on the lookout for trading updates and statements.

$JSEAFT - Afrimat Ltd: Technicals Are Screaming Buy!The last time I covered Afrimat was on October 13 when the share was still in a strong downtrend and approaching a significant trendline.
At that stage, I was neutral and called for patience and wait for the right signals, I believe we have enough signals now to go long.
The share has broken out of a falling wedge pattern, there is strong price/MACD convergence and the MACD has broken above the zero-line and is looking bullish.
buy: @ market
stop-loss: aggressive @ 4555 zac
conservative @ 4366 zac
Take profit: use own discretion
AFRIMAT falling on the floor Afrimat has formed another unusual and rare breakout pattern - Reverse Inv Cup and Handle.
This is where the handle is on the left and the cup is on the right...
The fact that the price has broken below the brim level and the RSI is making lower highs and is below 50, means there is further downside to come.
Looks like R22.00 is on the cards for the stock.
AfrimatThe share consolidated briefly in a range between R50 - R52, but eventually broke to the downside on further market weakness and weaker iron ore price. Currently testing horizontal support failing which, we could see a quick move towards R42. I would like go see a close above R52 to initiate a long position again.
$JSEAFT-Afrimat: Sloping Trendline To The Rescue?Afrimat had a strong run from March 2020 to peak at a new all time high at R76,47.
Afrimat's share price trend is not easy to breakdown using Elliott Wave analysis but good old support, resistance and trendlines might just do.
I am not a fan of sloping trendlines as support and resistance but seeing that this one has four touches makes it a good area of value to look for buying opportunities.
It's all about patience and waiting for the right signals.

Afrimat analysisAfrimat was able to break a significant resistance with good bullish force. In my personal opinion buying high prices is not a good idea even if one is only investing and not trading the stock, a good entry strategy is to allow the market to confirm that broken resistance by turning it into support , then i would pick up some shares
JSE:AFT Afrimat DistributionIt looks like Afrimat is being distributed. Following the Wyckoff logic, we have likely seen an upthrust of distribution (UTAD), a test to the UTAD and am now looking for the markdown in phase D. The distribution started after a throw over of the overbought line forming a buying climax (BC), automatic reaction (AR), secondary test (ST) in phase A. Some volume of the highs and divergence on the volume RSI gives some indication that this is distribution. Looking for a break of the upward stride to go short.
