UPDATE: Absa Target reached at R181.95 what next?Cup and Handle formed on Absa, broke up and out of it.
On 12 June I said it was imminent for a breakout to the upside, but I had NO clue how fast this thing was going to rally.
And it was only a Medium Probability Trade
Price>20
Price<200
Now that the price has shot up, it obviously is silly to just buy and go long without waiting for a trend confirmation signal in my case.
But we do have a DOWN gap (Breakaway gap) that has a 70% chance of closing based on history.
However, we need some bullishness before we do anything.

ABSA showing major downside to come to R76.08Head and Shoulders has formed ont he dail since Early 2022...
The price broke below the neckline and has since then, been showing lower highs within the down channel,
We also have confirmed downside with the Moving Averages.
Price< 20 and <200
It looks bleak but the system is the system, so the first target is set to R76.08
Absa showing strong downside to come to R118.91 Head and Shoulders formed on Absa.
We are seeing strong bearish signals since the price broke below the neckline.
200>21>7
RSI<50
Target R118.91
SMC: Buy Side Liquidity Order block is showing above the Right Shoulder. This is where Smart Money is sweeping Buying from long traders and stops from Shorters and are selling into the buys.
These tell me downside is to come for the bank.
Absa showing downside to R135.00 - SMC also appliedPATTERNS:
Absa is forming one of the two
Either an Reverse Inverse Cup and Handle .
Now price is broken below the handle, the chance is that it'll head to R135.60.
Or it's forming a head and shoulders where the Right Shoulder is now ready to form (upside) then downside to the target.
21>7 - Bearish
Price<200 Bearish
RSI<40 - Bearish
SMC:
We can see a Bearish Fair Value Gap has formed. This is where the 1st and 3rd candle does NOT overlap in price.
The market now will want to rebalance and move up into the gap to fill the orders before it comes down.
Hence, this is when the Right Shoulder will form.
If the price goes back up it'll give a short term BUY SMC to R185.00
If the price continues down then the target will be R135.60.
Regardless, the overall trend and bias is down in the medium term.
