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.

JSE:OMU Old Mutual Markdown after Redistribution After a sharp drop, Old Mutual has been undergoing redistribution. We have now seen all the Wyckoff Phases and a backup (BU) after the breakout to the trading range (TR). So base on the Wyckoff theory the markdown in Phase E is set to start. Watch for a strong downward trend. I had previously analysed this as an accumulation range (see posts below) because it looked to me that there was buying at R20. After breaking the level and now it has BU to this level again and is set to be marked down.
JSE:OMU Old Mutual Markup In Phase D StartingOld Mutual has been in a TR after a big drop in October 2018. We had a spring on high volume and now a test on lower volume indicating that supply has dried up. Looking for the markup in phase D to the top of the TR range. After a consolidation at the top of the TR, I will be watching for a breakout and phase E to start.
JSE:OMU Old Mutual Being Accumulated?After a sharp decline with a Selling Climax (SC) Old Mutual has been ranging. Now after some low volume accumulation price has pulled back to the bottom of the trading range also on low volume. The spring off of support has been on good volume and after a test, we can expect a mark up in the Trading Range (TR) in Phase D to the top of the TR. We can then look for the breakout out of the TR.
