SBK trade ideas
JSE:SBK Standard Bank Last Push for 2020This is an odd time of year to look for any significant move but we just may have a last gasp attempt in some bank stocks to back up to previous support become resistance. After the covid drop, we have seen some accumulation in Standard Bank. Now after a sign of strength (SOS) in November we have seen a back up (BU) to the accumulation range that was formed. The breakout of the BU indicates that we could mark up to the previous support become resistance at between 16000 and 18000. This gives us a short term play to this level going into 2021. However, from there we are likely to be looking at the markdown to continue challenging the covid lows.
SBK short if it remains within channelJSE:SBK has been trading in a sideways channel since June. Two days ago, it seemed to be breaking out of the channel in an upward direction, but now it looks like it has found some resistance at the top of the channel. If it fails to break out the top and continues down into the channel, I will consider a short position towards the bottom of the channel.
STANDARD BANK - Potential Inverse Head & Shoulders formingI do not wait for the neckline to break before I trade a potential inverse head & shoulders pattern.
I rather use the retracement to the last shoulder as an early entry if it coincides with a demand zone.
The Daily chart shows signs of a possible opportunity of this materializing in the foreseeable future.
JSE:SBK Standard Bank Retest Breakout LevelSimilar to Nedbank and Firstrand, Standard Bank has seen a dramatic decline which ended in a selling climax (SC). We are now seeing a recovery back to the breakout levels. There is significant volume between R90 and R110 forming a last point of supply (LPS). A break above this could see a retest of the R160 level.
STANDARD BANK Bullish Set-upWell it is a wonder how long the bulls will last, -there is a bearish pressure in there, but bullish interests.
