Santova M Formation waiting to break down - R7.35M Formation is forming on Santova.
This is a consolidation pattern that took place after strong upside.
Now the price could turn up and form a Box formation, where it can break to the upside.
But as we say, we can only act on what we see.
We absolutely need the price to break below the neck line of the pattern.
21>7 - Bearish
Price>200 - Elastic
Target R7.35
WARNING this is an illiquid, volatile and low volume traded market. So the trades are LPT due to the nature that trades can stop out. AND very few brokers (if any) provide Shorts with it.

Metair Up or Down? Both targets possibleBox Formation has formed with MTA.
Now we need to wait for the breakout.
Now this is funny. Normally box formations are Continuation patterns.

Clicks broke above the Inverse Head and Shoulders FINALLYInverse Head and Shoulders has been forming with Clicks since March 2023 as it was being formed.
We've seen the price making higher lows, breakout of its year downtrend, and things are now looking better for the bulls.
Other indicators confirm:
7>21>200
RSI>50
Target 1 will be quite extended and it could be a medium term hold but my first price is to R340.76
ABOUT THE COMPANY
Clicks Group is a retail-led healthcare group which has been listed on the JSE Limited (Johannesburg Stock Exchange) since 1996.
Clicks Group was established in 1968 in Cape Town, South Africa by entrepreneur, Jack Goldin.
Clicks was originally conceived as a drugstore concept in the style of American retailers such as Walgreens and CVS, but with legislation in South Africa at the time prohibiting corporate ownership of pharmacies, the model had to be adjusted to a variety retailer.
The first Clicks store was opened in St. Georges Street in Cape Town.
The "Clicks" name was apparently derived from the sound that the founder, Jack Goldin, heard from a clicking stethoscope, embodying the health focus he wanted for the company.
However, due to the existing legislation, the health focus was not immediately realized until later years.
The Group operates through multiple retail brands like Clicks, GNC, The Body Shop, Claire's, Musica (which you can't find anymore), and more, providing a wide array of products from health and beauty to homewares.
In 2003, Clicks was finally able to introduce pharmacies into their stores after South African legislation changed to allow corporate pharmacy ownership.
Clicks Group has the largest retail pharmacy chain in South Africa with over 500 in-store pharmacies.
Tigerbrands is coming down after M Pattern and Downtrend breakM Formation has formed on TBS.
This is from the prior downtrend showing difficulties for the company.
Now that the price has broken below, there is a higher chance of the market to drop.
200>21>7 Bearish
RSI<50 - Downtrend momentum.
Target R130.00
CONCERNS: If the JSE ALSI 40 rallies to new highs and breaks out of the Broadening formation, it might slow down the downside for the company.
However, with the negative fundamentals kicking in with the bad results as well as the resignation from the CFO. The fundamentals might override the upside for the JSE.
JSE to hopefully break above the Vuvuzela formation T to 75,000This week I remain an optimist that we will see a higher low with the JSE.
And it will soon (not sure when) break up and out of the long extended Vuvuzela formation.
Once it does my first short term target will be to 75,000.
Every year it seems the JSE is testing traders more and more.
Some fundamental news: Someone asked about what happens with the Interest Rates staying put last week in South Africa?
Here are my thoughts...
In the short term it's normally a bullish sign as it will stimulate economic and GDP growth. It's cheaper for businesses to borrow money.
On the other side the interest rates are still very high and in the medium to long term, this will discourage spending and will encourage savings as there is a better ROI keeping money in the bank...
As traders, we react on the short term and hopefully with the interest rates on hold, it will push up buying and demand.
Then we can get our rally we've anticipated for the last 7 months.
I'm starting to feel like Clive Roffey, where you see the impending upside, but there are just no confirmation catalysts to boost it.
Vuvuzela Pattern for the JSE ALSI 40 target to blow up to 75000 Well, well, well, we've identified the tumultuous and monotonous pattern on the chart finally.
It's known as a Broadening Triangle or what I call a Vuvuzela Formation.
The price diverges instead of converges in a triangle pattern...
Now this can be a continuation or a reversal pattern. It all depends on the breakout.
Looking at the D&S and liquidity it looks like the JSE really wants to break above the formation and head to new highs of the year.
75,000 is a decent first target...
Also with Smart Money Concepts we can see there is a Sell Side Liquidity Order Block showing how Smart Money is sweeping selling and buying into it, hence there isn't a major push down in price just yet...
I'm bullish with this Vuvuzela. Now we need the JSE to blow up.
DRD Gold broken above the falling flag - BullishFalling Flag has completed on DRD Gold. It started on 9 May 2023, where the price came trickling down in a falling rectangle formation.
The price now has broken above, which signals high buying and demand liquidity.
This will push the price up.
Other indicators confirm:
7>21>200MA
RSI>50
Target 1 will be to R25.24 at the top of the pattern.

Life Health showing recovering finallyInv Head and Shoulders has been anticipated for months.

Richemont breakaway gap for the downsideInverse C&H has formed on Richemont.
Before the handle formed, it made a Breakaway gap.
This is where the price stopped its current uptrend, broke below where there is liquidity that didn't fill, and then continued down.
Now gaps close 70% of the time, so we could get a spike up before the downside. But that would be for a conservative trader.
Other indicators show downside to come.

JSE ALSI 40 Vuvuzela Formation - could break up!Hi guys, this could be a concern.
JSE ALSI 40 has been forming a broadening pattern (Vuvuzela) since 12 April 2023.
Now with these patterns, they can break any direction...
If we make a higher low, the chance of the price breaking up is higher. Then we can expect the price to finally break up and out and head to 75,000 as the first target.
As this is Monday, it will set the bar to where the market will be heading soon. We need to hold onto our hats as this can go south just as quickly as it went up last week.
What do you think up or down this week?
UPDATE Sanlam hit our price target and still heading upSince the last update, Sanlam formed a Falling Wedge, The price broke up and out of it and headed up.
Then the sellers kicked in and tried to bring the price back down. However, the new established support was proven to be what kept the bulls strong.
This was also a great opportunity to go long and buy the conservative entry level.
Before we knew it, the price headed straight to its first target of R63.69.
So what now. Look the trend is up, the JSE is up. So might as well stick with the trend and look for the next buying opportunity.
But I'll let you know.
UPDATE: Shoprite showing strong upside still to come target R257Since the last update, Shoprite shot above the neckline of the Inverse Head and Shoulders.
Since then, it's been rocketing to our first target. As long as the JSE ALSI continues its medium term upside and the retailers continue to move up - there is no stopping this one.

USDZAR analysis with the rand to strengthen to R15.90?Right off the bat, I normally get short analyses wrong with USD/ZAR.
But the system is the system, so I have to keep to the rules.
Since the trade hit my first target at R18.90, it's been forming an Inverse Cup and Handle.
Now the price has broken below, which means the USD is likely to weaken from here.
The indicators however are conflicted.
7>21 (about to cross)
Price >200 - But the price could also drop below it entering a downtrend
RSI<50
Target 1 for this analysis is an absurd R15.90.
Let's see how this plays out. For argument sake, I hope it's right this time. Paying 27 US Dollars for 2 Prime cans was not the best investment of my life. And I know, I got ripped off!
UPDATE: Afrimat on target to R66.75 and a new pattern arisesCup and Handle was the last pattern we used to make this prob prediction.
Lately, we have had the price fall into a Falling Flag consolidation formation.
And the price has already broken up and out of it.
This means, we can expect upside to continue and head to our first target of R66.75.
7>21>200

Since then it's been going to our first target of R12.61.
It is still on course.
Last few weeks, OMU has formed a W Formation (another breakout pattern). Once the price breaks this one, the next target could be as high as R13.38.
Other indicators confirm upside to come:
7>21>200
RSI>50
Target 1 -> R12.61

JSE ALSI 40 looking good for upside - 15 minuteInverse Head and Shoulders has formed on the 15m.
Downtrend is also abolished.
We can get a test at the new support before it rallies on up to 71,416.
This might give a conservative entry level for bulls, before the next leg up.
The daily trend however, needs a lot more upside before we get into a Bull trend (but hey it's a start)
Where is this damn JSE going - I hope UP! - Here's why. Your guess is as good as mine.
One day we are up another is down.
One week is up, one month is sideways.
This is NOT conducive for trending markets.
This is NOT conducive for breakout traders.
This is not conducive for momentum traders.
So we need to wait for a breakout to have a better idea on where it wants to go.
Right now I'm long 8 stocks and short 6 stocks on the JSE.
So yes, hedging is crucial during these times.
Also, one needs to hedge with Forex, indices maybe even international markets.
It's the only way to have more control of our portfolios and to diversify markets better.
So which way is it going. No matter what, I always prefer the market to move up.
I prefer for the optimistic approach where companies are doing well, South Africa is doing well and investors are doing well.
Even though I could be stopped with all shorts, I honestly don't care. I care about the wellbeing of the country and the JSE.
I don't normally rant with analyses, but this is a clear example of where we as traders, have no idea where the market is likely to head.

TARGET on Woolies hit at R64.00 next target R70.93 - SMC M Formation formed on Woolies.
Broke below the trendline and the signs were all bearish.
21>7
Price >200
Target R64.00 which it hit.
But now it looks like there is upside to come due to SMC.
SMC (Smart Money Concepts)
First we look for LOL (Levels Of Liquidity).
This is where there is strong volume of buying or selling from the big boys.
We can see three LOLs.
1. 200MA -which the price is now above and could stay above
2. Previous support level
3. Hammer to the upside and Change of Character (reversal to uptrend)
New target with SMC is R70.93
The probability of the trade idea is low because we are fighting the greater trend that is down, but it's worth looking at with SMC.
