JSE:J200 Top40 Waiting for the ElectionThe Top40 has had a great run since the start of the year. On the way up there were two occasions when institutional supply entered the market (seen by the high volume) but was unable to stop the advance. Now the market has reached the highs were previous institutional supply occurred. However, the volume has declined in the leadup to the elections. Trading volume can be expected to be low until the elections are over and the market can decide a direction. Something to note is that the RSI has made a negative reversal and once volume returns to the market we could have a volatile decline.

JSE:J200 Top40 at the Top of the 'Trading RangeOn the daily timeframe (TF) following the Wyckoff logic, there was a change of character that formed a Trading Range (TR) with the Selling Climax (SC) and Automatic Rally (AR). This is at the bottom of a larger TR on the weekly TF (See post below). After a Secondary Test (ST) of the lows, the price is testing the top of the TR again. This is also the 2019 Yearly Pivot Point and 200Day MA. We are now in Phase B and expect a contraction in volume and a test of the lows in Phase B before we can look for Phase C and a move out of the range. Negative divergence on the TDI (RSI) also indicates a possible move down.

JSE:J200 Top 40 Approaching Resistance After a Change of Character (CoC) and major Sign of Weakness (SoW) the JSE Top 40 has been seen the start of a smaller trading range (TR). Price is now approaching the top of the TR (Round number 49000) with confluence with the 200 Day SMA and the 2019 Yearly Pivot Point. The Rally is seen on lower volume than the decline and negative divergence with the RSI. Looking for a reaction to confirm a move to the bottom of the TR in the week to come.

JSE:J200 Top 40 Still Indicating WeaknessReconsidering the evaluation of the trading range (TR) it could be evaluated as an inclining TR. The initial part of the trading range had some signs of accumulation but after an up thrust (UT) a strong distribution character has emerged. Before the end of 2018 price had a change of character (CoC) with signs of weakness (SoW) on increasing volume. Now the Top 40 is attempting a week rally to the 200 Day SMA and new Yearly Pivot Point on decreasing volume. The number of stocks above their 200 D SMA has increased but is still below 50% and in a declining trend. The number of stocks above their 50SMA can also be seen as slightly declining. If the evaluation of an inclining TR is correct the Top 40 has however not broken the TR. Will be watching the next reaction to the downside to see how the small recent TR develops for continued distribution or accumulation.

JSE:J200 JSE Looking Like DistributionThe range in the JSE Top40 index that started in April 2015 seems to be a distribution range. Following the Wyckoff logic, we could have seen an Upthrust After Distribution (UTAD) and test at the highs at the end of 2017 / beginning of 2018. Now we see an increase in the spread to the downside of 8 to 11 to 12 to 19% indicating a bearish Change of Character (CoC)Using the total sum of volume for Top 40 stocks there is also an increase in volume during these moves to the downside indicating that stocks have been transferred from strong to week hands. Since the last down move, we have seen a week attempt to rally. My bias for 2019 is that the Top 40 could see a resolution of the trading range to the downside. How the current potential Last Point of Supply acts (LPSY) in the new year will clarify if a markdown is about to begin. If the distribution is confirmed I will be looking for laggards in the Industrial sector which is currently the weakest sector to trade (see the previous comparison of sectors in the links below).

JSE Sector Comparison End of SeptemberThe JSE Top 40 has been ranging but finding some support at the breakout level of the previous trading range. Looking at the comparison of the three main sectors in the JSE since April we can evaluate recent relative strength. The Resources sector has been strong and even looking at resent lows on 12 September it has remained the strongest of the sectors. Financials have strengthened some since end of June and is also remaining above the September 12 lows. Industrials on the other hand had been tracking the Top 40 performance but since 12 September has been very week falling strongly even as the other sectors hold above the low. If the Top 40 is to break support Industrials would be the sector to look at to go short but if we see a bounce Financials and Resources would be the go to sectors.
