MOTUS breaking out of a 18 month DOwntrendAs of this week, Motus is finally breaking up and out of the 17 month downtrend.
It's also forming either a Triple bottom of Inverse Head and Shoulders.
Once the price breaks above the neckline, we could see a strong move up.
Price>20MA
Price>200MA
Bullish bias with a target of R144.77
Jse
ADCORP needs weekly to see the bigger picture drop to R1.50Adcorp is showing supply overpowering demand.
The daily chart is very illiquid and it's difficult to make an analysis with such candles.
So we pumped it up to weekly.
There is both an M Formation and Rectangle formation in the process.
The price needs to break down to ultra confirm the downside to come.
THe target remains at R1.50. So let's observe and report.
IMP low probability for IMP but still more likely to break downM Formation turning into Triple Top with IMP.
I am hesitant making this analysis as the JSE is showing strong upside to come along with international markets.
But the charts are still saying the price is likely to test demand to the upside and if it's weak this thing can drop big time down to R38.00.
We definitely need to wait for the breakout and a strong down candle. But that's what the analysis says.
Price<20
Price>200
Need to wait for breakout
Target R38.07
Old Mutual trading styles for buys - Target R13.70There are many different ways to trade Old Mutual looking at this chart.
1. Reversal trader
They will wait for the support to establish as it's done at R10.00 and then will buy and hold until it reaches the top of the range.
2. Breakout trader
WIll wait for the price to go up and complete the W Formation where it will breakout and trade up to R13.70
3. High probability trader
This one will have to wait the longest for the price to not only close above the W Formation but also close above the Downtrend and the 20MA and 200MA.
Either way, Old Mutual does look bullish as things stand.

The Trading Matrix: 14 Vital Lessons DecodedThe Matrix is a movie where no matter what age you watch it, you’ll gain a different perspective from it.
And there is a wealth of knowledge and ideas that you can unlock when you dig deep into the movie.
A world where the line between reality and illusion blurs, much like the iconic film.
The Matrix, with its deep philosophical underpinnings and action-packed storyline.
It isn’t isn’t just a cult classic; it’s a treasure trove of lessons for traders.
Let’s decode a few trading lessons you can learn from The Matrix.
Building Confidence: The Neo Path
Remember Neo’s metamorphosis?
From Thomas Anderson, a man riddled with doubt, insecurity and worry.
To Neo, the confident savior of humanity.
This journey is similar to one that a trader takes.
You begin with uncertainty, doubt and worry.
You then develop greed and ego.
The market disciplines and humbles you again and again and again.
But then you develop the edge. You adapt to the trading world with gains, losses, drawdowns and different streaks.
And then you develop self confidence and resilience as a trader.
Like Neo, you might stumble, but remember, every setback is a setup for a comeback.
Confirmation Bias: Dodging the Bullet
Much like Neo’s iconic bullet-dodging scene, traders must learn to dodge the deadly bullet of confirmation bias.
Neo created some form of movements and hand gestures in order to stop the bullets.
But what he truly did was create confirmation bias that he was beyond the physics and laws of the universe. And this system is how he was able to go beyond the normal.
Create or adopt a trading system that with Confirmation bias, you can identify high probability trades.
And even though, you’re using some pseudo system that no one knows about. You’re simply turning chaos into financial order, to have a mechanical process involved – to grow a consistent account.
Only by actively seeking diverse viewpoints can you dodge the bias bullet and make decisions that are truly informed.
Take the Red Pill: Embrace Reality
Taking the red pill is about confronting the brutal truths of the market.
The trading world is not a bed of roses; it’s volatile, unpredictable, and sometimes harsh.
Those traders who take the blue pill –
Only look to win.
Only look to build their portfolio with an insane win rate.
Only look to go all in on certain positions.
When you take the red pill, you take on the realities of trading.
You acknowledge the risks.
You prepare for the drawdowns.
You know you’re going to take inevitable losses.
You understand that your past trading does not indicate future results.
Those oblivious traders – get destroyed.
Like Neo, when you choose the red pill, you choose to see the market for what it truly is, warts and all.
There Is No Spoon: The Power of Perspective
The “There is no spoon” scene teaches us the power of perspective.
In trading, the market isn’t your enemy; it’s your perception that needs adjusting.
Bend your mind, not the spoon.
Adopt a system which has a flexible mindset.
Be ready to pivot your strategies in response to market dynamics.
Success comes not from forcing the market to your will, but from adapting your will to the market.
Understand the Code – Understand the Matrix
Trading involves deciphering patterns, much like understanding the Matrix’s code.
The market moves up, down and sideways.
Given.
But with Price, Volume and probabilities – there is a proliferation of world of opportunities with each market.
Develop the ability to read charts, trends, and indicators.
Recognize that behind every market movement, there’s a code to be cracked.
Agent Smith and Market Manipulators
Just as Agent Smith represents a threat within the Matrix, market manipulators pose real dangers.
Stay away from markets with:
Too much volatility
Too many gaps
Unusual trading activity
Stay vigilant, and don’t be swayed by pump-and-dump schemes or misinformation.
They will disrupt your trading journey.
Training Simulation: Practice Makes Perfect
Remember the scene where Neo was practice fighting in simulations with Trinity and Morpheus?
He was testing, improving, adapting and learning.
You should do the same before you risk your hard earned money.
Test, Test, Test, Forward Test and Real Test.
Use demo accounts and simulations to hone your skills.
Make mistakes where it’s safe to do so, and learn from them without risking your capital.
Morpheus’s Faith: Belief in Yourself
Morpheus believed in Neo before he believed in himself.
Cultivate self-belief.
Trust in your analysis, your strategy, and your decisions.
Without belief, fear and doubt will cloud your judgment.
The Architect’s Plan: Strategy is Key
Understand the market’s architecture.
Develop a trading plan and stick to it.
Adjust as necessary, but always with the structure of your overall strategy in mind.
Free Your Mind: Emotional Control
Neo’s journey was as much about freeing his mind as it was about saving the world.
In trading, emotional control is paramount. You need to learn to let go of Ego, Fear and Greed.
These are your greatest enemies.
You can do this by:
Having a strong back tested track record to prepare for what is to come.
Risk even less until you don’t feel the losses.
Real trade with the smallest positions to get an idea on how the markets work and will operate when you incorporate costs.
Train yourself to remain calm and objective, regardless of the market’s ups and downs.
FINAL WORDS: The Path to Financial Awakening
Trading, is much like deciphering the Matrix.
It is an ongoing journey fraught with challenges, revelations, and the need for constant adaptation.
The key points to remember with the Trading Matrix are:
Building Confidence: The Neo Path
Develop self-belief through education and resilience.
Confirmation Bias: Dodging the Bullet
Seek diverse viewpoints to make informed decisions.
Take the Red Pill: Embrace Reality
Embrace the reality of the markets with all its risks.
There Is No Spoon: The Power of Perspective
Adjust your perspective and adapt to market dynamics.
Understand the Code – Understand the Matrix
Understand the code behind market movements.
Agent Smith and Market Manipulators
Stay vigilant against market manipulation.
Training Simulation: Practice Makes Perfect
Use simulations to hone your trading skills.
Morpheus’s Faith: Belief in Yourself
Cultivate self-belief and trust in your decisions.
The Architect’s Plan: Strategy is Key
Develop and stick to a well-thought-out trading plan.
Free Your Mind: Emotional Control
Master your emotions to remain calm and objective.
Merafe set for strong upside with gap to close R1.55Rounding Bottom is forming on Merafe since the gap down,
Markets have a strong chance of prices to close gaps.
So we just need to wait for the breakout and then the price will most likely to reach R1.55.
The analysis is from the last time we mentioned MRF and not much has changed except further confirmation for upside.
M Formation on PPC target set to R2.64 - High probabilityThis is an update on the last analysis made for PPC.
There was a Larger M Formation that took place earlier where the target was arounf R2.37.
But now with the new M Formation, we can raise the target a little bit higher to R2.64.
Price<20 and Price <200MA which sets a high probability analysis...
Target R2.64
UPDATE: Life Health Care exceeded our targets big timeLife Health Care was presenting a simple Head and Shoulders with a usual drop for a short.
The price started off well then went to the entry.
Wake up and not only did it go past R15.96 target...
The market opened aty R10.80 exceeding our expectations and profits. It's these trades that we absolutely love and can't help but get excited when things go extraordinary to our favour.
Now there is a W Formation and the price has broken up. So looking at a Medium Probability setup, we can expect the price to head to R14.29.
UPDATE: Hulamin hit target at R3.91 heading to R4.40After a long wait once the price broke above the W Formation.
Then moved sideways and crossed above with the Cup and Handle.
The first target of Hulamin hit at R3.91.
The momentum is still strong and on the up. And we can easily see further upside to come.
So, the next target with similar momentum will be to R4.40.
Impala PLatinum fantastic for upside to R170.35With the PLatinum price running up very nicely and setting it's for a rally - JSE PLatinum stocks are looking almost perfect to buy.
We have a Cup and Handle with a breakout above and confirmed. We'll need to wait for Monday's Open price to confirm above the Breakout.
NATURE: HPT (High Probability Trade)
Price>20
Price>200
Target R170.35
Great trade analysis for the system!
Nampak huge upside to come after announcement to R271.81W Formation has confirmed and formed after the announcement they are leaving Nigeria.
This pumped up the price over 17% in a day.
However, high volatility is always a risky biscuit and big candles normally results in the counter candle.
So I'd wait for the price to break ABOVE the W Formation and for the price to break above the 200MA.
Then the nature will be HPT and the target will be around R271.81
UPDATE Redefine Falling Flag break into a sideways range Falling Flag - Breakout took place on 18 Dec 2024.
The price stayed above 200MA but lingered between the range of 20MA.
We are seeing lower highs and lower lows. WHich means a broadening formation is forming between the bulls and the bears.
There is no strong indication when the price will rally but the analysis does remain the same until the price either hits the target or below the stop loss range.
The target is still set to R4.39.
UPDATE Hulamin showing strong upside after it's break upto R3.91We were very close to the analysis being null and void.
But then, we had a change of wind and the market bounced off the lows heading back to the range.
It then broke up and is now on the way to the next target at R3.91
Looks good still.
Capitec Vuvuzela with bullish bias & strong fundaments to R2,485Capitec has been in this Broadening Pattern (Vuvuzela) formation since November 2023.
It breaks into higher highs and lower lows. But the overall momentum and trend channel is up.
It will continue trading in this range until we get a breakout of the resistance or support. My bet is it will first trade to the top of the range at R2,485.92.
Capitec has always been the outlier compared to the other banks with very little correlation. WHen it does well, it runs up regadless what the bigger banks are doing.
Also fundamentally, it doesn't seem to follow suit with the Big 5.
Firstly, Capitec announced a substantial 15% growth in headline earnings, which reached R9.7 billion.
This increase was driven by growth across various sectors of the bank, including a notable 124% profit surge in its business banking sector and a significant increase in net lending, investment, and insurance income
Also, Capitec has been actively investing in innovative digital solutions and client rewards programs, which have contributed to its strong performance.
They introduced a variety of digital payment solutions like Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and Google Pay with zero transaction fees, as well as their own secure online payment tool, Capitec Pay.
So ye, big up to an innovative unclipped wings bank like Capitec.
Merafe Dividend messed up analysis to the upside of R2.00What a difference a dividend makes!
The payment went out on the 15 April 2024, and because there are derivatives that traders can trade off - the algorithm droped the share price quite significantly.
I don't think this company should be providing such high dividends if it wants growth in the share price, but hey I'm just the guy behind a computer.
So last time, we saw a Dividend release in September, it took 6 months for the share price to make it's way up and close the gap.
Now it is likely for the same thing to happen.
This is not a technical analysts haven type market because fundamentals trump the price action.
But overall, I guess shareholders are remotely happy for their income distribution and in the long run Merafe will one day hit R2.00 :D
Bidvest in resting mode until the big breakout up to R290.00Bidvest has been moving in a sideways consolidation pattern called a Diamond Pattern since November 2023.
This is where there is a tug of war between the bulls and the bears.
BUt the fact that the price is holding quite well despite the international market crashes, means the buyers are holding the stock strong.
It will most like need a few more weeks/months for the pattern to play out. But once it breaks above the consolidation, we can easily see the price head up to R290.00
It's a patience game for Bidvest.
Exxaro looks fantastic to R208.22! We recently saw it break out of the medium downtrend since January 20024.
The price broke above the W Formation's neckline and above the 20 and 200MA.
This states the medium term nature is HIGH probability for upside.
The concern is the price gapped up and now needs to fill.
SO I am patiently waiting for the Gap to close and then rebuy on the bounce of the retracement.
Target to R208.22.
Merafe Dividend payout caused a break in analysisMerafe was easily set to great upside to R1.72
This was due to a Box Formation, Upside and Price above the moving averages.
But then 22 cents Dividend was given out which caused the share price to drop quite quickly.
So is the analysis still on? I guess it is as long as it hasn't hit the risk level.
But these are things to take into account and learn from.
PPC M Formation ready to break down to R2.37?M Formation has formed on PPC since November 2023.
This is a very risky trade analysis due to the high volatile nature of the share.
But if the uptrend holds strong and lower highs continue, we could see a very big fall with the cement company.
Medium Probability Trade
Price<20 and Price <200MA
Target R2.37
Renergen showing tremendous upside to come BOX Formation has formed on Renergen. Also there is a rounding bottom.
The price has broken above the neckline of the Rounding Bottom but not the box form yet.
Once it does, we should get an easy indication that the market wants to head up.
The nature of the analysis is Medium probability due to
Price>20MA
Price<200MA
Target 1 will be to R21.82
