Absa showing downside to R135.00 - SMC also appliedPATTERNS:
Absa is forming one of the two
Either an Reverse Inverse Cup and Handle .
Now price is broken below the handle, the chance is that it'll head to R135.60.
Or it's forming a head and shoulders where the Right Shoulder is now ready to form (upside) then downside to the target.
21>7 - Bearish
Price<200 Bearish
RSI<40 - Bearish
SMC:
We can see a Bearish Fair Value Gap has formed. This is where the 1st and 3rd candle does NOT overlap in price.
The market now will want to rebalance and move up into the gap to fill the orders before it comes down.
Hence, this is when the Right Shoulder will form.
If the price goes back up it'll give a short term BUY SMC to R185.00
If the price continues down then the target will be R135.60.
Regardless, the overall trend and bias is down in the medium term.

UPDATE: PPC Diamond Formation formed after consolidationW Formation formed previously as you saw.
And the signs were all bullish with MAs and RSI
But then there was a consolidation period forming a Diamond Formation, breaking down.
I guess, my bias is in a way changing to down - but I'm not convinced.
Even with the bank collapse, resource crash and crypto exchange debacle - PPC is holding quite solidly.
I will keep my target at R4.29
UPDATE: Goldfields hit stop loss - but I warned you Inv Rev Cup and Handle formed and the price broken below the Brim level.
There were mixed signals with the indicators and I warned you that we need the price to break and confirm below the 200MA.
Which obviously, it tested reversed, Smart Money jumped in swept liquidity and pushed the price up.
However, it's not just Smart Money to blame.
Gold had a bit of reverse as investors had no idea where to put their money in.
They are freaking out with the bank crisis in 2023. They are freaking out with Silvergate and crypto exchanges still liquidating.
They are freaking out with these fears of high interest rates coming in the US.
So as bitter as it hit the stop loss, it gives us a fantastic hedge for long side with Gold incase we get a pump catalyst with the market soon (which I doubt).
I will be waiting for bulish signals to buy Goldfields. Let's see.
TARGET HIT City Lodge hit the target at R3.71 but I'm not happy Bear Diamond Pattern formed on City Lodge a few weeks ago.
We then had a strong break down, which showed a big collapse to come.
We set our target at R3.71 which many traders thought I was crazy.
I told them I hope I am wrong, because I don't like when companies drop in value who offer great value to customers.
But the charts showed downside and I couldn't be biased.
The target hit and unfortunately, we still see downside to come.
I'll be waiting for the next formation in the meantime.
UPDATE: Transaction Capital hit my Take profit but I'm pissedFalling Range formed on TCP and there was a trend channel bearish
200> 7<21
All the signs were showing downside to a target at R26.46. Which it hit.
If I held it just one more day it would have gone to R14.50.
But that's trading for you.
Now with the gaps and panic selling, we can expect some accumulation to form bringing the price up to close the gap. Then we will need to wait for the next formation and pattern to form.
I'll await and let you know
MTN going up to R136.82 before going down to R90.29Head and Shoulders formed on MTN yet again.

Target R90.29
SMC (Smart Money Concepts)
Bearish Fair Value Gap formed hence the big candle down.
Now due to the 1st and 3rd candle not overlapping, means we can expect the price to move up close the gap before moving down again
This gives a buy signal on the short term side with the Bearish FVG to R136.82
UPDATE: Naspers in the money - Short Target R2,766We had a confirmation break with Naspers Inv Cup and Handle.
The price broke to the downside and now it shows strong falling to come.
7=21 price>200 - Reversal
RSI <50 - Bearish
Target R2,766.00
This coincides with the fall in JSE and other markets since the SVB collapse. I expect more Blue Chip stocks to tank until the world enters some type of equilibrium and solace.
UZI really hate that this is what I see but as a manager of capital, therefore feelings need to be cut out and discarded. (I am hoping to be wrong) Yet I see this and will wait for a right shoulder to complete. Then a break in the neckline, a last kiss and impulsive bullish candles then we find an entry and ride the whole way.
UZThis is very nice, because it is slightly textbook. Yet knowing the fundamentals of the country, we will break through any sell bias you can think of. One day my goal would be to push that price all the way to either less R5/$ for a dollar or even to 1:1. For now I just would like to set a realistic goal of under R15/$. With the right leadership and the fight in our hearts we could and we will and when it happens, I'll come back to this post and clap for us as a nation.

USD/ZAR target hit at R18.48 & we have another dreadful target It pains me to say our USD/ZAR trade hit the take profit level at R18.48 and now it looks like further upside for the USD is on the way.
Another Cup and Handle has formed, which has broken above the neckline.
And if we place the stop loss below the handle, we get the next target at R19.71.
7>21>200

Target R19.71
With interest rates on the rise in America after Daddy Powell mentioned more upside to come, meanse investors will continue to invest in the US dollar with high income yielding assets like Bonds, Money Markets and High interest savings rates options.
As long as interest rates (or the fear of them) continue up, we will continue to see US dollar strength which will bring down many other exotic currencies like the rand.

UPDATE Thungela still showing medium term downside but is slowLarge H&S since May 2022 formed which gave a Medium term trade.
Since it broke down, I know it would take a longer period for the price to drop due to the size of the formation.
Remember, companies will try everything in their power to keep the price up and without a strong negative catalyst, the formation will either play out or forma another pattern in the interim.
The bias is negative until we see any upside potential.

The warning is that it's been moving in sideways range for over a year, and it often peaks then drops and continues.
As the JSE ALSI is in a bear market at the moment (on smaller time frames) might delay the upside.
But the system says go long.
