VOD trade ideas
VodacomThe share price of Vodacom has recently broken out of the 11000 to 12750 range to start a new upward trend. Since the breakout, the price has retraced from overbought territory back towards support at 12750. This marks the first pullback since the breakout and a possible trading opportunity. The bullish candle at support suggests the pullback to be over and that the trend induced by the breakout may now be set up to continue. 13715 is the favoured upside target from the move, while a close below channel support at 12600 might be used as a stop loss consideration for the trade. www.ig.com
Breakout Test in Progress?On the weekly chart we notice the shaded blue zone was a strong support zone for the 30 September and 7 October candles. Price then made an impulsive move down from 11 November and this pierced (breakout) right through that support zone. Such a move especially after 3 strong weekly candles usually leads to a retest of the breakout zone. That Is our trade for this stock. We target the blue zone. The risk reward is not particularly attractive so we reduce the position size to compensate for that drawback.
Entry: 1 small position @ 11450
SL: 11068 ( just below the swing low)
TP: 11870-11845 (blue zone)
NB:Always manage your risk appropriately.

2. However, the new uptrend failed to sustain itself, keeping in mind the recent fundamentals.
