Old Mutual - 200SMA Bounce with upward momentumJSE:OMU recently bounced nicely off of the 200 Simple Moving Average and started to in an upward direction. It is also showing signs of great upward momentum so I think we could be looking at a nice upward move towards the previous resistance level at around 1480
Old Mutual - Upward Continuation?JSE:OMU broke the significant resistance level of 1350 yesterday, which it has ben struggling with since about April 2020. It is showing some nice bullish momentum and I think we can possibly be looking at a move up to around the 1650 level and possibly beyond in the longer term.
Old Mutual overviewThe share price is currently heading towards the major descending trend line and previous support from a well-structured double-bottom pattern.
For the more risk-aware investors, I'd advise you to place an alert around the 1280 level and await crossing confirmation.
I will also update this idea upon finding more useful/reliable fundamentals.
Goodluck and follow me for more.
