JSE Top 40JSE Top 40 Index | The trading range on the index has been very range-bound over a 5-day period, with narrow candle structure reflective of a sellers resuming their activity following the prior 5-day advance (04-08 January 2021) where buyers were in clear control. With weakness being seen in the United States on Friday, it raises the potential for follow-through to the local market which is sensitive to global developments. Having been rejected at 'resistance level 3', a print below 58290 would trigger a reversal of the recent upward trend. We also note the price now trading outside of the steep incline support in place since 04 January. In terms of the technical indicators, the 7-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is looking to cross below the 14-period RSI, a sign of near-term weakness.
JSE Potentially Starting to Outperform the S&P500?After the recovery from the Covid lows, the JSE has been underperforming the S&P500. However, since the start of the year, the JSE has been outperforming it. However, the low holiday volume should be taken into account. However, the start of the year could indicate where the JSE is at.
JSE Where are we at?Starting 2021 we find that the recovery from the Covid lows is still in progress. After a pullback and low formed in October 2020 we are seeing another push higher. Resources are again showing the most strength with a nearly 40% rise. However, financials are also recovering well at this stage but industrials are lagging. Over the holiday period, we have seen a push higher on lower volume but now we are finding a shoring of the stride. Watch for the next pullback in 2021 for the next opportunities.

South African Top 40South Africa s' rand retreatsas weak data hits buying,stocks stable
South Africa s' rand retreated on Thursday, putting a hold on a rallythat took it near a 10-Month High as weak local data dampened buying,while stocks were mostly unchanged.
at 1557 GMT, the Rand Zar =D3 traded at 15.0100 versus the dollar, 0.33 % weaker than its previous close. the Rand touched its best level from Mid February this week as global risk appetite lifted demand for the currency.
But the data showing Manufactoring output fell 3,4% year-on-year in October While Mining Output dropped 6,3% tempered investors enthusiasm. Retails sales data published on Wednesday also showed a decline, down 1,8 % year-on-year. Government Bonds yield Zar 2030= were flat at 6,930%.
Stocks were stable with the 3,1 % drop in the banking Sector ,JBANK weighing on gains. the Johannesburg benchmark all-share index ,JALSH dipped 0,02% to end at 59,283 points. Group MTNJ.J fell 3,5 % after Nigeria directed all Telecomunications firms to stop selling sim-cards while it audits rule compliance. Stocks JGLDX firmed 3,41% as the Rand weakened , with Harmony Gold HARJ.J closing up to 2,26 % at 64,65 Rand. South Africa gold miners benefit from weaker currency, as their revenues are often in dollars, while costs are in Rands.
So looking at where the JSE-ALL Share index stands we expect the Market to decline in the next upcoming months.

Sell Limit!Price just cant seem to close above the 53 000 level on higher time frames and it has tried numerous times. When price tries something and fails multiple times it will often go the opposite. So i am taking a short on this index on the 1h time frame. Here price is already trading under the Kijun,which is above the tenkan (bearish signal). The cloud is thick so it will probably need a momentum move to penetrate it. The lagging span has a better passage down than up. The stop is is just above the kijun resistance. This increases R but we could also get stopped out,the risk is worth the reward. The trade is a sell limit,so i anticipate price will temporarily go up again and test the kijun zone thereby triggering the trade then from there plummet.
Sell Limit Entry: 52 591
Stop Loss : 52 848
Take Profit : 51 402
R : 4.62
#ALSI Big consolidation breakRubbing the crystal ball here a bit, but big breaks like the ones we've seen on the ALSI usually gets tested at some point in time to confirm the bullish sentiment. Last week was a 10% week for ALSI + an additional 1% today. Expecting some consolidation in the near future. Market is very bullish at the moment.
JSE:200 JSE Still Getting WeakerI have not posted for some time but am looking to post more regularly again. After the covid shock, we have basically been trading in a range. Using a Wyckoff view this is expected after a selling climax. The question is now where are we in the trading range and are we seeing a redistribution or accumulation? Starting off with a comparison of the Top 40 against the S&P500 we see that the JSE has relatively been in a downward trend since 2016. However, the resources sector has been in an uptrend relative to the rest of the Top 40. After the covid drop resources have also recovered well. The financial sector on the other hand has not seen any rebound effect and remains at the low levels after the drop. So following strength, it is wise to focus on the resources sector when looking for a recovery.
