Now we are seeing the share price run into short term horizontal and channel resistance levels, one that may halt it's advance.

At current levels, traders could look to short/sell the share in anticipation of a move lower.
These are the trading levels:

Looking for a bounce on ABGJSE:ABG has been trading in a channel between R170 and R146.50.
It is currently heading to the support zone at the bottom of the channel, and we expect a bounce and a move upwards towards the top of the channel.
The stochastic is confirming this as it heads to oversold territory with the expectation of turning up.
