KCB bounceInvestors have seen significant paper loss holding KCB shares. The problem is that most Kenyan investors are herd investors. And the herd always gets slaughtered. In an analysis presented to a local investor early this year, this is part of the analysis presented and we had our first buy orders filled between Kes 15.00 and Kes 15.25. The trade played out according to the analysis and in case this trade breaks lower, we have our orders in place. If not, KCB bank might have bottomed out if fundamentals don't trigger another sell-off. Longby Candles254Published 0
A simple way of looking at stocksHello, A simple way of looking at companies is by looking at their charts. The chart tells you a story the balance sheet might never communicate. It gives a story of who between the sellers & buyers is in control. First, let us understand what the candlesticks are and how they can be used Candlestick Charts: Candlestick charts are widely used in technical analysis to represent price movements in financial markets. Each candlestick typically shows the open, high, low, and closing prices for a specific time period (such as a day, week, or month). The body of the candlestick represents the price range between the opening and closing prices, while the wicks (or shadows) indicate the high and low prices during the period. Green (Bullish) : The close is higher than the open. It suggests buyers are in control. Red (Bearish) : The close is lower than the open. It suggests sellers are in control. As per our chart this two candles are very key in completing the whole story. From The chart you will notice that the red candles are more than the Green candle while also being bigger. This already tells us that the trend is a Downtrend . Conclusion : We can only buy the stocks when the buyers begin to come into the market and the Green candles begin getting bigger & More aggressive. That way we are able to take advantage of the prices at the bottom and manage our Risk to reward ratios. Please keep in mind that the Fundamentals of the company are very important to understand before buying Good Luck!Educationby thesharkkePublished 2
KCB SHORTKCB has had a very impressive run over the years. But fundamentals state that demand must meet supply at equilibrium. After its long rally, price is finally starting to ‘balance out’ in the chart as we saw price break out of the triangular wedge and did a huge sell off to the downside as it tries to reach equilibrium (green zone). As price comes down, it will also take out the consolidation zone highlighted in red. This won’t be a quick process. I anticipate this to go on for the subsequent months. It could go for as low as 5Ksh if the sell off persists. This is also catalyses by the prevailing market conditions which isn’t favoring any buys for now, the market sentiment has shifter to a bear market as it is already evident in the chart. Considering the company has a solid asset base and financial muscle to manage its operations, coupled with its expansion outside Kenya, it still has a chance to regain its lost glory but first, we need to consider the matter in hand, which is market balancing out before we think about buying and holding in the long term.
