THE SPAR GROUP (SPP)SPP's price is currently moving within a trend channel, and it's testing the upper trend line as we wait for this week's earnings announcement. Looking at how the stock behaved before, we can see that attempts to break key support levels were met with resistance, forming lower highs.
Target 1 around the 96.68 area.
Caution: If the stock breaks above the trend channel with support, it could indicate a shift to a more bullish trend.

SPP
EUR/USDHello. How are you? We start the first trading day of the week. Important news was released last week, which created a range of movement between 1.06357 and 1.07807. When the ceiling was broken (the area I marked with D), a character change with the abbreviation CHoCH symbol was formed. Of course, if we used the trend line, it completely confirmed that the channel ceiling had been broken and now we should wait for a possible pullback and upward movement.
Now pay attention to the areas I marked with A, B, and C:
Area A is a kind of cash collection that we call SPP in our style. Since this SPP line has been broken with the shadow of the candle, we can risk the market going up.
Note that there are two other areas below Area A. Areas B and C are potential buy orders. They can be called potential demand areas.
The area that I marked with B has been optimized and marked in a 5-minute timeframe. If the market reaches this area, which is approximately 1.06755, I will look for confirmation to enter a buy trade in a lower timeframe. My stop loss is under the bearish candle level, which means 1.06602. Additionally, area C is identified as the 50% area of an order block in the origin.

Spar showing mixed signals but bullish bias to R160.11Spar has formed an Inverse Head and Shoulders
Since it hit our Short sell target, it's been forming the pattern.
However, as with most markets we are getting a bit of mixed signals.
7>21 <200 (Mixed)
RSI >50 Bullish but turning.
My target remains to be R160.11 but this is a medium probability trade.
Buy Box on SparJSE:SPP broke out of the bottom of the 'buy box' consolidation area yesterday which normally means a signal to go short, but it seems like a hammer candle is forming which could mean a reversal, so I will remain cautious and only enter a short if it breaks the current low of today's price action.
