JSE ALSI 40 - Short - Inverse Cup and Handle Technically an Inverse Cup and Handle has presented itself.
The breakout below the brim level is still quite a weak breakout, but the stop loss is quite wide to give leeway.
Fundamentally, Inflationary measures and rising interest rates are going to have a ripple effect around the world. The JSE will also following leading markets, which will bring it down. I'm going short...
What do you think?

TOP40: another leg down?Crossed below its 200-day simple moving average - which supports a bearish trend direction.
A price action below 63 600 supports a bearish trend direction Crossing above this level will negate the bearish stance.
Breaking further below 61800 might target 60600.
Breaking above 63000 will be the first sign of strength building in the index.
RSI leaves enough room for further downside price potential.
JSE Top 40 IndexAt the top of last week I highlighted the theme, which was 'be selective', mentioning that traders should take caution following the strong move over the prior two week. The channel resistance and 61.8% FIB retracement was highlighted as resistance zones and we have since seen the index unwind from a 'near overbought' rating to a neutral rating. The next level of potential support is around the prior breakout zone or just above that at the rising 21-day EMA however we could also overshoot these zone to the downside. We are seeing the index coming under pressure in line with other global markets as bond yields rise, specifically in the U.S where the US10Y is above the psychological 3% level. For now, the theme remains 'be selective'.
JSE ALL SHARE 40 - Bull Trap - Inverse Cup and Handle - 25 MayThe JSE ALL SHARE 40 seems to be forming two bearish patterns.
1. An Inverse Cup and Handle where the price is about to break below the brim level sending it down.
2. Bearish pennant which is tricking many traders into a bull trap.
I may be wrong and this might be the bottom but in my 2 decade career, I've learnt to go with the trend until it confirms an end.
So I am going short JSE ALSI 40 today.
JSE Top 40 IndexJSE Top 40 (Spot) Index (63026) | Bottom Line: On Tuesday, the index traded into and slightly overshot the demand-supply zone at 62900 to 63400 highlighted on Monday morning. This level (the high of the day) is also in line with the declining 21-EMA acted as a resistance level and distribution zone.
Roll over Beethoven- Top40The Top40 certainly seems to be rolling over as small rallies are being sold. It also looks as if the 50 day moving average is acting as a resistance level which is also evident in today's price action. Momentum indicators have all started to turn lower so it look a good opportunity to cash in on some downside... I think there's at least 2500 points up for grabs in the next 2 weeks
TOP40 index: further upside potential?A bullish trend is applicable above 68300. Crossing below this level will negate the bullish stance.
Upside price momentum supports the bullish trend direction.
RSI leaves enough room for further upside price potential.
Broadening top pattern applicable.
MACD bullish crossover also supports the bullish trend direction.

ALSI/j200 TOP40 index 2hour channelthe ALSI bulls have done well to hold the longer term up channel support at the 68875 level,
however only a solid close above 69500 will confirm if the buying was enough to
to take this index to a new ATH,
on the flipside a solid close below 68800 can see the bears take the prices down to 68000

J200 Long Punt on hourly chartLooking for J200 to trade down into the 66500 to 66200 area to take a long punt on the hourly chart. Looking for a reversal in that area to enter the trade.
Trading in oversold extremes on the hourly.
Will bail on the trade if it starts trading below 66000. Looking to set trailing stop once the trade becomes profitable.
#TOP40 Now Toppish?The JSE TOP40 certainly is still channel bound but with (currently) a first small appearance of a red histogram on the MACD, as well as clear divergences with several technical indicators, will it be able to hold its course? I have serious doubts with many others things also calling for a change of direction, especially TheDawieSetup.
