DRD: Time for a PullbackPrice for DRD is stretched, on the daily cycle price is seeking a cycle high before beginning descent. Looking at the weekly cycle, one might construe that the share is in a new weekly cycle although this can turn out to be week 29 of a continuation of a cycle that began on 28 September 2022. Week 29 coincidentally also features as a weekly high before price descends into weekly low. The breakout of the broadening wedge will likely turn out to be a false breakout.

$JSEDRD - DRD Gold: I Count Five Waves Up, Top ImminentThe last coverage of DRD was on the 17th of January 2023 and I forecasted a pullback for wave (iv) before wave (v) takes off to complete the impulse move from 864.
The share has not disappointed, driven by the recent surge in the gold price.
Wave (v) in commodities can be extended but there is no way of telling in advance if it will be.
The share has strong momentum with shallow intraday pullbacks.
There are no signs of a reversal yet but I am not an advocate of trying to buy within wave (v) at a mature stage.
Commodities are highly cyclical and can reverse violently so if you are not already in a profitable trade, rather sit on your hands and wait for short opportunities after the completion of wave (v).
DRD - FakeoutDRD was looking good - bull flag breakout and well on its way - until it proved to be a fakeout! Will now look to pick it up either at the bottom of the flag range (around 12.65), or will look for another breakout attempt with a target of 15.70. Although Gold price is struggling, ZAR is still very weak which could help.
DRD Waiting on Gold Confirming of a LowDRD has broken out of a giant falling wedge. It is now in a zone that is good for accumulation. I expect price to move towards the upper line of the wedge & break-out. The macro-economic environment is increasingly favouring gold to outperform general stocks. Ideally one to trade & take profit above gain of 30%.

Fundamentals:
DRDGOLD, a company, is getting ready to release its results for the last six months of 2022. They are telling shareholders that they think their earnings per share and headline earnings per share will be between 59.5 cents and 68.1 cents per share, which is an increase of 2.6% to 17.4% compared to the same period in the previous year. The increase is mainly due to higher revenue, which went up by 6% to R2,654.3 million.
OVERALL:
There are mixed signals between technicals and fundamentals, but with the upward channel still intact, my bias remains more bullish.
DRD target reached at R14.12 next stop R17.63Target 1 Reached at R14.12 from the previous analysis.
Now there is a Rectangle formation and on the bigger side of things a Larger Rounding Bottom.
We just need to wait for the breakout.

$JSEDRD - DRD Gold: Don't Chase The MomentumFrom the 28 September 2022 low of 864 zac, DRD has rallied almost 80%.
The share does seem to be tracing out an impulse move with wave (iii) still intact but overly extended relative to wave (i).
At this juncture, it is not wise to buy in hope of further upside.
If the impulse outlook is correct, we can expect a correction or consolidation for wave (iv) before the uptrend resumes.
DRD Gold perfect for the picking to R14.12Cup and Handle has formed on DRD and is looking pretty good.
There has been a retracement where it will be testing the uptrend as well as the Brim level on the Cup...
Also Moving Averages have crossed up with 7>21>200
Fundamentally, I am bullish on gold in the medium to long term. Despite the interest rate hikes, the chart is neglecting them and is showing the price wants to trend up.
Mostly because investors are losing their faith and trust in crypto and they'll be investing in safe havens like gold. If you see here the chart is screaming a buy...
Target R14.12
DRD GoldSpeculative trading opportunity. Potential change of trend with the price attempting to clear the descending channel (bull flag). Preferred accumulation at current levels or lower.

DRDGOLD - Double BottomDRDGOLD has formed a decent double bottom pattern off the R8.60 lows
- A daily close above R9.70 triggers the long trade
- Initial target is R10.85 but the stock has alot more room to move if Gold continues to catch a bid from here

Disclaimer: All ideas are my opinion and should not be taken as financial advice.
DRD GOLD If gold's price continues to stay elevated and push higher then I believe DRD Gold will push higher too.
It has broken out of the trend line and looks set to move higher, which coincides with gold breaking out too.
Strikes aside, I think pullbacks will be an opportunity to add to positions.
Price targets are highlighted on the chart, with predetermined profit taking prices along the way.
Profit taking started today, which also coincides with the strike actioned that was served to Sibanye Stillwater.
My price target within 12 months, barring any economic meltdown, is R22 (+- 50% return)
My stop loss will be set below R11.50.
Disclaimer,
I have been accumulating DRD gold since R11,50, and have taken profits recently, will look to add to existing positions again in large pullback like today (9th March 2022)
