#DRDGOLD R14.00 a massive level- watch for reversalAfter reaching a high of R24.50 in May 2023, DRD has retraced right back to the change of polarity point and 200 week moving average (green). The level of R14.00 also happens to be the 61.8% fib retracement level joining the swing highs from May 23 and Swing lows from Sep 22. Putting this all together tells me that the 14.00 level is a high probability of leading to a reversal in price and i will be watching this closely in the week ahead for a long entry. Also note the divergence on the RSI which has not formed a lower low in tandem with price.
DRD
DRD Gold Laggard but ready to shoot up - R24.65W Formation is forming on DRD Gold.
It's been a slow process, considering how many gold stocks have been outperforming the index itself.
But we are seeing signs that it's nearly DRD Gold time to shine...
The price is close to the neckline which needs to breakout. We also need to see a confirmed close and strong move above the 200MA.
The target remains at R24.65

Fundamentals:
DRDGOLD, a company, is getting ready to release its results for the last six months of 2022. They are telling shareholders that they think their earnings per share and headline earnings per share will be between 59.5 cents and 68.1 cents per share, which is an increase of 2.6% to 17.4% compared to the same period in the previous year. The increase is mainly due to higher revenue, which went up by 6% to R2,654.3 million.
OVERALL:
There are mixed signals between technicals and fundamentals, but with the upward channel still intact, my bias remains more bullish.
DRD Gold perfect for the picking to R14.12Cup and Handle has formed on DRD and is looking pretty good.
There has been a retracement where it will be testing the uptrend as well as the Brim level on the Cup...
Also Moving Averages have crossed up with 7>21>200
Fundamentally, I am bullish on gold in the medium to long term. Despite the interest rate hikes, the chart is neglecting them and is showing the price wants to trend up.
Mostly because investors are losing their faith and trust in crypto and they'll be investing in safe havens like gold. If you see here the chart is screaming a buy...
Target R14.12
DRD Gold theory of bullish actionYellow vertical lines indicates the changes in market movement when GOLD chart is at trough.
The parallel lines indicate a mock charge, after the market traders realize that GOLD is at a low, bullish action follows backed by the DT+ and DT- intercept of the DMI.
The above movement occurred twice, indicated with the 2 yellow vertical lines.
It is my view that such a third occurrence is possible, (green vertical line at current position) with low GOLD price, action to be confirmed with intercept of DMI.
DRD's balance sheet is in good shape and dividend payout shows promise.

JSE:DRD DRD Gold Large Concerns Taking the OppertunityWith the increase in the gold price and especially the Rand price of gold there is interest in the sector. DRD Gold was not one of the favourite gold stocks for investors but there is a shortage on the market so investors are turning to what's left. With the markup starting, most of the gold stocks are showing ease of movement on low volumes but we are still seeing volume spikes on buying in DRD Gold. As investors see the value in Gold they are buying what they can. As a result, DRD Gold is showing a lot of strength. The latest attempt to pullback was shallow and the stride that has been formed in the markup is steep. With a good volume spike yesterday we can expect the price to markup the next step. See how this interest in DRD Gold has unfolded in the posts below.
JSE:DRD DRD Gold TestingDRD Gold has dramatically lost half its value in about a week. However, after testing the bottom of the previous trading range it formed a higher high (HH) and could not stay below the yearly pivot point and 200 Day SMA. A strong reversal bar indicates an impending markup for the stock. Increases have been on volume indicating demand.
