Industrials edging higherThe JSE:STXIND is on the verge of printing a new all-time high. The ETF itself can be bought, one can also consider looking at the ETF holdings to check if the holdings are also at or moving towards buy zones. Tree in the forest approach.Longby Trend_Trader_JSE0

Satrix INDIJSE:STXIND is at an area of value, near a potential resistance level. I'm no fan of a bearish market, I'd like to see the ETF break above this level. by Trend_Trader_JSE0
JSE Industrial Index: Still in Long-term Range The JSE Industrial Index ( J211 ) has been in a trading range since 2016 and has broken the upward trend in the process. The covid drop interestingly was not backed by volume as seen by the lack of movement in the volume RSI and low volume spike. Price has recovered back into the trading range but has shown little enthusiasm to break out. The bounce has been on low volume . The covid drop also showed relative strength compared to the overall JSE. It seems as if the range-bound conditions may continue and we will have to wait for volume to return to see if this can be broken. For now, we are stuck around 70000 ( J211 ). With the low volume there does not seem to be many opportunities in the underlying stock right now.by SteynTrade0
JSE:STXIND Industrial Index Showing Some StrengthThe JSE Industrial Index went through a distribution trading range and together with the overall market started to markdown. However, relative to the Top 40 the Industrial Index is showing strength. However, it is probably not time to get too excited as this is likely to only be a pullback and test of the trading range that was broken. In the short term, this could take us back to between 6500 and 7000. This is the sector to look for some stocks that are benefiting from the current market conditions to go long for shorter-term trades. Longby SteynTrade3
JSE:STXIND Industrial Index Breaking StructureThe JSE Industrial Index has broken below the lows of the distribution trading range. Some support could be found at 5500 but after a backup to the trading range, the markdown should begin in earnest. The Industrial Index is stronger than the Top 40 index and the decline in this sector is slower than the rest of the stocks.Shortby SteynTrade2
JSE:STXIND Industrial Index MarkdownFollowing the distribution of the industrial index (See posts below) on the JSE after last week we are now starting the markdown. Volatility has increased and volume has declined which indicates no buying interest. A test of the bottom of the trading range should now take place and we can then look for the signs of a break below the trading range to start phase E. Shortby SteynTrade4
JSE:STXIND: JSE Industrial Stocks DistributionUpdating the previous post at the start of 2020 (see below) has not changed my evaluation that the JSE Industrial Stocks are being distributed. The relative strength to the Top 40 index is declining an we have seen some signs of weakness (SOW) and inability to rally. Will be watching the start of 2020 for the start of the markdown.Shortby SteynTrade5
JSE:STXIND JSE Industrial Stocks Being distributedUsing the STXIND as a proxy for the industrial index to get an indication of volume it looks like the industrial stocks on the JSE are being distributed. We have seen an upthrust and sign of weakness (SOW) with increased volume on the declines and no interest in the increases. Price has held below the 200 SMA and Yearly Pivot Point. We are now looking for a break of the trading range to see the start of the markdown.Shortby SteynTrade5
$STXIND Change of polarity on the JSE's Industrial sectorThe above chart is a perfect display of the concept of 'change in polarity'. This principle asserts that once breached, a support level becomes a resistance level. You'll notice how this level of +- R72.30 was a major support level in 2018 that held on multiple occasions. Eventually we got the break through in Sept 2018 and the bulls caved in completely, seeing the index fall another 15% to reach a level of 61.00. Since seeing those lows the index has done well to move higher and retest this significant level which has now become clear resistance. We tested this level as recently as early May and failed. We are currently retesting this level once more and it looks like the market is rejecting and failing for the second time at R72.30. Likelihood here is that the components of this index will find it very difficult to gather enough steam to breach this point of polarity and we could see the chart move lower in time. Also notice how price has managed to equal the same level but RSI has made a lower high which is also an indication of bearish divergence and further adds conviction to a possible move lower in this chart. Naspers and Richemont make up the bulk of this index, so be careful in those two counters specifically! Shortby MarcoOlevano4
