CAPITEC | New entrants into the market will be a problemTechnically, I like Capitec for a short to medium-term sell down to R1095 (currently trading around the R1284 mark).
First step is to wait for the weekly close. If price closes below the upper trendline I've drawn in, that would suggest that the recent highs just aren't going to hold. I don't expect an aggressive fall, but I don't see serious buyers coming in until the R1095 area at the earliest.
How price behaves at that point will give me an indication as to whether I want to hold for more downside, or cash out.
Fundamentally, CPI is in an interesting place. A typically resilient stock, but with a headwind.
Standard Bank are closing 104 branches in an increasingly difficult market, encouraging their clients to use more online services.
Capitec (although recently having acquired Mercantile Bank, helping speed up its entry into the business market) is heavily retail and branch focused. Up until recently Capitec provided the kind of services that were not available elsewhere in SA, at the cost Capitec offered its clients. However, this has changed with the arrival of Tyme Bank for one, and soon Bank Zero, a business underpinned by the hardwork successes of serial entrepreneur Michael Jordaan.
What is Capitec's answer to competitors that offer what they do, at better rates (some are zero feed accounts) with far fewer overheads?
CPI - Weekly AnalysisWe may derive the following from the Weekly CPI chart:
1. Price broke a sharp uptrend.
2. We are still in an OVERALL uptrend. BUT price may be setting up for a move down. I think a bearish setup is likely.
3. It is still early to make a decision and so patience is needed to see if we form a potential sell or buy pattern.
4. As always - maintain your risk.

CPI Piercing LineJSE:CPI formed a piercing line pattern with Friday's close which is a bottom reversal signal.
After a preceding downtrend, the green candle opens below the previous day's close and above the middle point of the red real body. It is a bottom reversal signal, but the candles MUST be different colours.
JSE:CPI Capitec Re-accumulation or DistributionAfter breaking the upward stride and going overbought Capitec is now consolidating. It is busy breaking back into the trend channel. After a buying climax (BC), automatic reaction (AR) and secondary test (ST) in phase A we now have seen an upthrust (UT) in phase B. This is showing some strength but was on low volume and divergence with the volume RSI. Now to watch how the TR develops to see if it is a distribution or re-accumulation. For now, I am expecting the price to range for some time.
CAPITEC BANK (CPI) DAILY TIMEFRAME LONGUptrends rarely come as crystal clear as this. I feel bad for not having bought this stock earlier even though i stay in South Africa where it is listed. However, for all those traders like me who missed the initial rally, i expect prices to go up further. A good place to enter a long position would be if price retraces to the 134290 price level.
Traders can also enter on the retest of either the 20- or 50-period exponential moving average (EMA), which are both currently acting as dynamic support.
Remember, a trend is your friend (why fight it?)
