SBK trade ideas
Standard Bank - Held first supportSBK is probably has the best looking chart out of all banks currently, in my opinion. Whilst the other major banks have overshot levels to the downside, SBK managed to hold onto the first blue TL at around 160. ZAR weakness cold be a determining factor going forward, and we might see SBK push lower to second level of support, anywhere in the mid-150's (solid blue TL). For any longs, I would keep an eye on the second TL as a stop.

7>21>200
RSI>50
Target R200.00
WARNING
The biggest issue is that a GAP has formed during the formation. Statistically, gaps close 70% of the time, which means we can expect downside to come in the next few days.
Look the bias is bullish but with the gap makes it a medium probability trade.

Standard Bank almost ready for a good buy to R200 or Goodbye Cup and Handle has clearly formed on Standard Bank.
I don't like this Bearish engulfing candle that formed.
The price didn't break above the brim level so we will have to be a bit patient before buying.
We then have other bullish signs in the meantime.

Sell SBKThe following factors may support a sell/short: (1) a 'near overbought' rating, (2) a negative divergence between the price and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggesting the upward momentum is potentially slowing (3) trading between 2x to 2.5x it's mean over 200 days.

$JSESBK - Standard Bank: Creepy Crawling Up The TrendlineWatch this video for some Quantitative and fundamental analysis on SA Banks youtu.be
SBK has found the going tough since bottoming in May 2020.
It has been the laggard in the local banking stocks but perhaps offers more upside opportunity.
The share price has been trending up a moderate slope trendline and as long as it does not break and close below the trendline on high volume, the share can continue its gentle climb.
What gives more confidence is while the share has made higher lows, the MACD has made lower lows and this condition is known as hidden bullish divergence.
