Prosus & NaspersReferring only to my tactical data/trading commentary as at Friday's close, both PRX and NPN were the only the names suggesting: "Reward-to-risk becoming attractive for a small long position". Here you can possibly add the phrase: "Phase In". As we noted for both PRX & NPN last week (see related), the price could attempt stabilize, with one or two days of weakness before attempt a rebound. With the help of a weaker ZAR and possibly sight of the prospectus (see SENS), both names are higher between 1.45% and 2.11% so far today.
PRX trade ideas
PRXAn extract from today's Active Trading Plan.
- No doubt that the the price action in PRX and NPN has been terrible, with continuous selling.
- Yesterday we saw a gap at the open and continuous selling pressure into the close.
- Extracting the daily tactical data, the reading suggests: “becoming attractive for small long position”, but would look to add: “phase in”.
- For tactical and ultra short term traders, if you want to be long, the following applies:
- If the share opens lower but reclaims Monday’s low, then it will be a signal that the share is attempting to stabilize.
- Please note, it must reclaim the prior day’s low (R1304) to trigger.
Similar to yesterday's comment on NPN.
JSE:PRX Prosus Going SouthAs expected Prosus keeps following Naspers down - see posts below. However, Prosus is weaker than Naspers and has already broken the yearly pivot point and the recent redistribution remained below this. Again the high volume selling is seen indicating some urgency to dump the stock. Today we see the breakout of the recent redistribution trading range and this week could see more panic selling.
ProsusPRX has been on a solid downward trend since it's most recent peak on 19 February. In a prior manual analysis, I mentioned that the 1805/1815 area would be a distribution zone. We overshot this area slightly before moving lower to now trade at multi-month lows. Yesterday we may have had a 'flush-out' candle while today we are trying to reclaim the lows. At R1523, the share appears oversold and may be worth a buy for a bounce back to the R1600 - R1615 level. Stop: R1490.
JSE:PRX Prosus As with Naspers Prosus has made me wait after observing some weakness in the stock. However, change of character on a significant reversal bar after a failed test is likely confirming that the up sloping trading range is a distribution range and we could see the start of the markdown process starting.
PRX The chart is an extract from my weekly report.
