Life Health showing recovering finallyInv Head and Shoulders has been anticipated for months.
We were just waiting for the right shoulder to form, which it has done.
Next we'll need the price to close above the neckline and it should be a strong trade to buy, hold and profit.
Price >200

LHC
Life Health Care group showing strong upside to R21.39 WARNINGW Formation since Sep 2022. It's been moving in a sideways range without any promising direction.
Then in February we had a breakaway gap.
This is where the price jumped from the sideways range into an uptrend.
And most sellers and stop losses were hit.
This showed strong upside to come.
7>21>200
RSI>50
Target R21.39
WARNING
Gaps like to close 70% of the time. And I don't generally like taking any trades where there are prior gaps.
I'd take this trade as a medium probability one.
JSE:LHC Life Healthcare SpringAfter a high volume selling climax (SC), we have seen an automatic rally (AR) back to the previous trading range in the downtrend. Now we can expect the price to range at these levels until a new cause has been built. The spring occurred short of the oversold line indicating some strength. We will watch how the trading range develops to see if this is possibly an accumulation trading range.
Ascending Triangle Breakout - LHCJSE:LHC has just broken out of a ascending triangle that it has been forming since mid November last year. Because of this I have entered a long position.
An ascending triangle is a chart pattern used in technical analysis. It is created by price moves that allow for a horizontal line to be drawn along the swing highs, and a rising trendline to be drawn along the swing lows. The two lines form a triangle. Traders often watch for breakouts from triangle patterns. The breakout can occur to the upside or downside. Ascending triangles are often called continuation patterns since the price will typically breakout in the same direction as the trend that was in place just prior to the triangle forming.
Break-out and retest (BAT & LHC)A short technical note from our Unum Trading Desk analyst, Lester Davids.
"On the Brait (BAT) chart, following the test and breakout of the downward trend line, the price has given us a small 3-day pullback, with a positive close yesterday. The RSI is starting to move out of oversold territory so there could be a potential buy/long opportunity on the share .
A great recent example of a breakout and re-test was Life Healthcare (LHC) on the right hand chart."
