TRADE UPDATE: Pepkor is still short and winning but can move upThe Pepkor Large Head and shoulders broke below the neckline and showed serious selling.
The trade has been a long hold but definitely worth it.
For 1, the price is moving down constantly - without any worry
2. We are making profits daily because of Short Interest income.
So I'm happy to hold the short to R16.00 or so.
On the SMC side (Smart Money Concepts) It is showing some upside to come.
We have had a BOS (Break Of Structure) to the upside as the previous candle closed above the wick of the previous candle.
This tells us there is a shift in the market where we can get some upside. However, it will be short lived to around R18.30...
Then we can expect the price to turn back down and head to our target.

PEPKOR (PPH) DAILY TIMEFRAME SHORTThis market is range-bound and might not be wise to trade. However, we can make much use of the support and resistance theory since price has already broken the 1920 previous resistance-turned support level and is probably heading towards the major 2160 psychological price level. Remember that there is a psychological aspect to round numbers especially when trading support and resistance levels. The major support level for this chart is at 1560 and prices seem to reject each time they approach this zone.
With that being said, I would only consider shorts (sells) around the 2160 resistance level and longs (buys) around the 1560 support level.

Technicals
Looking at the weekly time frame, I am expecting price to break the high of wave 1 before starting wave 4 to the downside.
The H4 chart shows a corrective structure which broke to the upside. This ties in with the weekly view that there is more upside to come.
