OMU trade ideas
$JSEOMU Old Mutual Trading inside a channelOld Mutual has been trading within a defined channel since March this year. The channel has got an upward trajectory. A long position can be attempted at the bottom of the channel 1200 for a top of channel 1500 target. A break below 1200 should trigger a stop loss. Some volatility has moved back into markets, so take care with any new long positions.
OMUThe chart structure of OMU reminds me of the recent price action in IPL where a channel continuation and downward trend line break saw the price make string gaiins. Yesterday we saw OMU close with a strong candle as it open below the EMA-20 and closed above the EMA-10. To the upside we have a 'gap' that potentially closes. (1) we may see a day or two of further consolidation, or (2) another strong push through trend line and recent short term consolidation. The break of the dotted downward trend line would signify a change in short term trend. Alsp note the tick up in volume yesterday (18/05).
JSE:OMU Old Mutual Making Me WaitI have been waiting for the markdown to start in Old Mutual (See posts below) for a while. However, price has been testing the 2000 level but has been unable to break it. With a significant bar with some volume the last two days the new year might finally bring the markdown.
