British American Tobacco
Today, the share closed at it's highest level since 2018.
Our initial view was driven by a manual analysis while also being underscored by the Tactical Trading Guide (Price Action Model). As always, the TIME-STAMPED readings are included in this note.

The extract below is from a note to clients on Wednesday, 06 December 2023 at 53198c, highlighting both a manual view (channel) as well as the price action model reading. Within just 18 month, the share has gained 60% and trades above R850, it's highest level since January 2018.


This post is a continuation of the commentary on the share at various points over the 13 months (beginning December 2023).
It highlights both the manual views and automated tool used to take advantage of opportunities on both the buy (long) and sell (short) side.
The share currently trades at a 2-year high.
Well done to clients who may have capitalized on these opportunities.
At current levels, the model reading is as follows:

BTI has been a profitable medium term trading opportunity for clients of Unum Capital. At current levels, the high bullish momentum conditions benefit existing shareholders however, it may also be an opportunity to reduce into strength.
