SHP trade ideas
Shprite looking weakAfter having broken previous support near R180.00, Shoprite is looking perilously weak. This seems to be the case with most retailers but the once "stock market darling" certainly looks to be struggling to gain any upside momentum whatsoever. If support level 2 does not hold, there is a very very long way down. Don't kid yourself, R130.00 is not impossible
SHP at a Decision-making resistanceJSE:SHP is trading at a resistance level and if it breaks through, I would consider a long position based on the breakout of the longer term down trend, but if it bounces off, I will go short for a shorter term trade.
But I will wait to see what happens first, before I make a decision.
SHP - Possible Bulls Breakout above R177SHP had a bear trend since Mar 2018.... started moving sideways Jan 2019 to current.
Possible new Support at R166. (Not tested and confirmed yet)
Stong Resistance at R177
Breakout above R177 - R178 and tested may be a bulls breakout indication.
Target 1 - R190
Target 2 - R196
Target 3 - R206
This is just a possible scenario. Any other suggestion will be appreciated
SHOPRITE GROUP LIMITED (SHP) SHORTPrice has been moving in a descending channel, in a series of impulses and correction, and we can expect prices to continue to move to the downside. There is potential for short term long entries due to an inverse head and shoulders pattern, which is a reversal pattern, but first price has to break the neckline and this will give us confirmation to enter especially if there is a retest. My bias is bearish as price seems to be forming the corrective part of a bear flag pattern, and conservative traders can enter on the break of the flag support to the downside, whilst risk-seekers can enter positions on the resistance level of the flag position. It would be even more safer to wait for a rejection of the descending trendline which makes up the channel support before placing any short positions.
JSE:SHP Around Support line.Price has been bouncing around the major support zone on the 15m chart being rejected for the third time now, this must be an indication of bulls are trying to push price away from the resistance zone but every time a move away from the resistance occurs it gets rejected by bears in a major pressure shown by the engulfing candle sticks. NB!! double check analysis before entry.
$JSESHP looking trolley for trolley, beter everydayWe’ve all seen the latest released SA retail figures and subsequently what it’s done to the local retail company trading updates and financial results. Yes, it’s been bad! But, like my kids always tell their old man: “dad…that’s sooooo last year!!”
I recently published an idea on JSE:WHL () and still believe that the company should pull themselves out of the woods. The other company that is catching my eye lately, is Shoprite. A nice little Falling Wedge developing, with the share price moving closer to the top of the wedge. $JSESHP is now trading at its 50-day moving average (R175.87), with a break and close above these levels, possibly taking us to the top of the wedge (resistance) at R185. A break above the falling wedge is perceived to be bullish (look for example at Sasol’s recent break - ) and will be monitored closely. Should we break the R185 level, the 200-day moving average becomes my next target at R197.70.
Should we see a pullback, R158 support becomes critical.
Thomson Reuters consensus forecast currently got a R190.42 target price on the share price.
Shoprite approching resistance- SHORTING opportunitySHP approaching overhead resistance just below 200.00. Momentum indicators are looking weak which means there is no real buying impetus at current levels. I'll be looking to short after retail figures this afternoon. Levels are indicative only, but i do think this is a high probability short
