Absa showing downside to come to R120 but I am not buying it LOLOk so I am taking this analysis with a pinch of salt.
The JSE Top 40 is showing major upside to come. And yet the Banking sector is showing conflicting signals.
I mean we have an Inv Cup and Handle.
We have a strong downtrend (safety line) - confirmed
We have price<20 and 200MA - Making it a high probability short.
Everything about the system is saying SHORT But I am calling BS on this analysis.
A part of me wants to go short just for the sake of it because the system says the next target is at R120.12.
Are banks predicting a bigger short and crash than we think?

REVERSAL Idea - Capitec Bank - first down to R2400 then up 2900Broadening Pattern has formed with Capitec.
When this pattern forms it bounces between ranges.
Right now it bounced off the top of the range, and is most likely to come down 50% from the most recent rally.
Once it comes down to a target of R2,400 then it could consolidate move sideways and then breakup to the next target at R2,900.
This is a little different from breakout trading, but I was asked for an analysis around this.
Capitec Vuvuzela with bullish bias & strong fundaments to R2,485Capitec has been in this Broadening Pattern (Vuvuzela) formation since November 2023.
It breaks into higher highs and lower lows. But the overall momentum and trend channel is up.
It will continue trading in this range until we get a breakout of the resistance or support. My bet is it will first trade to the top of the range at R2,485.92.
Capitec has always been the outlier compared to the other banks with very little correlation. WHen it does well, it runs up regadless what the bigger banks are doing.
Also fundamentally, it doesn't seem to follow suit with the Big 5.
Firstly, Capitec announced a substantial 15% growth in headline earnings, which reached R9.7 billion.
This increase was driven by growth across various sectors of the bank, including a notable 124% profit surge in its business banking sector and a significant increase in net lending, investment, and insurance income
Also, Capitec has been actively investing in innovative digital solutions and client rewards programs, which have contributed to its strong performance.
They introduced a variety of digital payment solutions like Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and Google Pay with zero transaction fees, as well as their own secure online payment tool, Capitec Pay.
So ye, big up to an innovative unclipped wings bank like Capitec.
UPDATE Nedbank heading nicely up to R238.56UPDATE from last time.
I thought we would get a bit of a pull back before the upside push, but I was mistaken.
Regardless, the price was expected to move up and up it is going.
This W Formation that formed and broke out gave a decent Risk to reward 1:2. And At this point where the R:R =1 it's even safe to bank half profits and move stop loss to breakeven.
7>21
RSI>50
Target remains at R238.56

HOW NEDBANK GOT ITS NAME
Nedbank's name is derived from its historical roots.
When the bank was established in 1888, it was originally known as the Nederlandsche Bank en Credietvereeniging voor Zuid-Afrika (Dutch Bank and Credit Union for South Africa).
Over time, the name was shortened to Nederlandsche Bank voor Zuid-Afrika (Dutch Bank for South Africa) and eventually to Nedbank.
The name "Nedbank" reflects the bank's Dutch heritage and its focus on providing banking services in South Africa.
J835 #SA #Banks index broke a descending triangle today.SA Banks going lower quite a bit in the near future becomes a greater possibility:
1. DOLLAR seems to make a short term correction so we might see a weaker RAND which in turn is not good for banks.
2. The recent bank results were not good regarding provisions.
3. And then obviously the descending triangle.
If the triangle plays out chances are good I will do a short term long-trade in either ABG or NED.
