DCP trade ideas
DCPDCP Dis-Chem Pharmacies
The share may be printing an 'inside bar' - which has in the past signaled a reversal of trend. Most recently the share is down from it's 27 March peak of 2757c to Friday's low of 1805c. The MACD is printing a higher low (bullish divergence) while the RSI is making a slight turn up. The share also trades close to the oversold zone with a reading of 33. I'd like to see a positive close today, with the majority of tomorrow's trading action being in the upper end of today's bar. This will signal some form of stabilization and potential follow-through from the 'inside bar' candle structure.
As if nothing has happenedDcp is already trading at levels pre that shocker after hour trading update last Friday. Also facing significant horizontal and downward trend line resistance around the R24 area. Confirmation of a break above R25 will invalidate the downward trend in place and ultimately invalidate the short setup
Dis-Chem Pharmacies - Failing To The TrendDischem Pharmacies is struggling to break back above the support zone of 2411c to 2430c. This level is now turning into a resistance zone while the downward trend line going back to the peak of 27 November 2018 is also serving as a resistance level . The RSI is rolling over, also losing support. Adding to the short term bearish setup is the 200-day MA which is acting a resistance level and trending lower. Fundamentally, we've seen high multiples go even higher ( CLS ) but at 28x earnings the share remains highly valued, meaning high expectations.
Dis-Chem Bullish SentimentThe skills and knowledge we apply in currencies can also be applied in any other market, how so?, as long as there is a chart, technical analysis can be used to predict and/or determine future movements, along with fundamentals and economic events.
Here is a possible investment opportunity for those interested in owning shares.
Good Luck ;)
JSE:DCP Dis-Chem Range within a RangeDis-Chem has started a long term and large Trading Range in June 2018. The range boundaries have been set in Phase A between R24 and R35. After a Selling Climax (SC) and Automatic Rally (AR) we have now seen a Secondary Test (ST) of the SC lows. A small TR has now formed at this support and we have seen a Spring. We are now expecting a markup out of the small TR and mark up to the highs of the larger TR at R35.
Discherm consolidating for another move lower?I previously missed entry for a short trade when the price broke to the other side of R28.
On the daily chart, price seem to be consolidating again for another move lower.
With a trading update due in the 2nd week of February, I'm monitoring the R26 area for possible entry into a short trade.
Discherm now on the other side of Bear flagLast Thursday (17 Jan) we saw the price break the support on the bear flag which had formed on the daily chart. With a Trading update expected in early February (which I'm expecting to be bad) I'm expecting further downside.
I'm calling a short on DCP on a restest of the breakout level around R27.50. A price of R28.50 will be my signal to get out.Take profit target is R25.
