SANLAM finding support on the 200 moving average.JSE:SLM broke the downward trend that it was trading in since July 2020 when it formed higher highs in early November 2020. Since then, it has been consolidating and has found significant support on the 200 Moving Average. I will wait for a breakout of the consolidation zone, and if it breaks through the 6000 level, I will consider a long position.

Downward momentum on SibanyeJSE:SSW is showing signs of downward momentum. The stochastic and MACD has crossed down and the 2 EMA's have crossed. It is also busy breaking through a strong support level at around 5800. If it breaks through convincingly with today's price action, I will consider a short position.
Beware of a possible gap close of the gap formed 2 days ago. It may go up and close this gap before continuing downward.
Old Mutual - Upward Continuation?JSE:OMU broke the significant resistance level of 1350 yesterday, which it has ben struggling with since about April 2020. It is showing some nice bullish momentum and I think we can possibly be looking at a move up to around the 1650 level and possibly beyond in the longer term.
Clicks - possible retracement to bottom of channelAlthough JSE:CLS is trending in an upward direction, it is also trading in a parallel channel. It bounced off of the top of the channel and seems to be retracing. For the moment, I think it is possible that it will retrace down to the bottom of the channel before turning up again. The bottom of the channel also coincides with a strong support and the psychological level of 25000
Shooting Star on ProsusJSE:PRX has been trading in somewhat of a channel since April 2020. Two day's a go it broke out of the channel and looked like it would continue up, but instead formed a shooting star pattern. Yesterday and today are showing strong downward momentum. We could see a move towards the bottom of the channel or to the support level at around 150000.
Possible down on Aspen?From a purely technical analysis viewpoint, JSE:APN seems to be struggling to break higher at the resistance level around 15000. If it fails to break higher and goes down to below 14000, I will consider entering a short. A break above 15000 might mean a continuation of the up trend. We might need a bit of patience on this one.
DSY - Bounce off strong resistanceJSE:DSY has revently bounced off of a strong resistance level that dates back all the way to 2015. If it continues down and breaks below the low formed on the 7th of Jan 2021, I will consider a short position based off of the downward momentum. The stochastic, MACD and the 2 EMA's are all showing signs of a downward move.
HARMONY Downward ChannelJSE:HAR is in a downward channel and in the last few days has bounced off of the top of the channel again forming a lower high. If it fails to break through the top of the channel, we could see a continuation downwards towards the bottom of the channel to around the 5000 support level.
APN - "Buy-Box" BreakoutJSE:APN has been consolidating in a sideways move for 2 months and with this morning's upward move, it has broken out of the "buy-box" very convincingly and we could see a nice upward move up to the previous high resistance from mid June 2020. It could also be seen as a horizontal bull flag pattern emerging.
GLN - Broken through consolidation areaJSE:GLN has been trading in a somewhat sideways consolidation area since 3 December and with yesterday's large upward candle it has broken through the top as well as the 5000 level - this level is a strong level on the daily as well as the monthly chart and acts as a strong psychological level due to the round number. I think we could see a nice upward move from here possibly to at least around the resistance level between 5400 and 5500.
Possible reversal on GoldfieldsJSE:GFI has bounced off of a support level and looks like a upward move is a possibility. The stochastic and MACD are confirming this momentum. If the price moves up above the 15000 level I will consider a long position. Beware that it might find some resistance on the 200SMA, so if it breaks through that, it further confirms the move.
BID - potential loss of upward momentumJSE:BID is bouncing off a strong resistance level and is struggling to break higher. If it trades lower than 27000, I will consider a short position as the stochastic and the MACD are showing signs of a momentum change. If it trades lower, the two EMA's will also have crossed downwards signaling a momentum change.
Cup & Handle on MTNA Cup and Handle pattern has formed on JSE:MTN .
The Cup with Handle is a bullish continuation pattern and as its name implies, there are two parts to the pattern: the cup and the handle. The cup forms after an advance and looks like a bowl or rounding bottom. As the cup is completed, a trading range develops on the right-hand side and the handle is formed. A subsequent breakout from the handle's trading range signals a continuation of the prior advance.
I will look to enter long if it breaks above the high of 11 Nov with a optimistic target at the resistance around the 8800 level.
Bearish engulfing candle at resistance.After a few doji candles, JSE:MTN has developed a bearish engulfing candle at a resistance level. This is the sign of a possible reversal. I will keep an eye on this and if it breaks lower, I will consider a short position taking it all the way to either the 200SMA or the support level at around 5500.
SOL - Break above resistance could mean upward moveA small inverted head & shoulders pattern has formed on JSE:SOL in the recent past, but it is yet to make any significant upward move because of it. It came up and tested a strong resistance level on the 10th of Nov and then retraced back down. If it comes up again and breaks through that resistance line convincingly, I will consider entering a long position.
