Technology Relative To T40

Deeply entrenched as a laggard. The Long-term trend is High Bearish / Approaching Oversold, with Weak Medium-term momentum and Neutral Short-term flows.

Tech Complex: Medium-Term Structural & Probabilistic Outlook

On an absolute basis, both Naspers and Prosus remain trapped in pronounced secular downtrends, having lost roughly 46–47% of their market value over the trailing 12-month period. Both assets trade well below their respective 200-day SMAs and 50-week EMAs (~88,000 ZAC for NPN and ~80,300 ZAC for PRX). However, downward price velocity has begun to flatten over the last two weeks, forming a horizontal consolidation range at historical price support. Over a 3- to 6-month horizon, there is a 60% probability of an extended sideways accumulation base developing between current levels and their 75-day EMAs, a 25% probability of trend continuation lower, and a 15% probability of an immediate V-shaped trend reversal.

Prosus N.V. (PRX) 

Last Close = 65183c

• Technical Status: Structural bear market with signs of early stage bottoming; price is compressing into a tight multi-session range near its 52-week low boundary.

• Momentum Regimes: Weak tactical, Weak / Approaching Oversold intermediate, and Oversold secular.

• Trends & Price Action: Deep secular drawdown (−47.14% 1-year and −15.82% 6-month), though the rate of descent has decelerated across the 1-month window (−7.59%). Price remains capped below all major overhead trend filters: 8-day EMA (66,556 ZAC), 21-day EMA (67,618 ZAC), 75-day EMA (71,355 ZAC), 50-week EMA (80,234 ZAC), and 200-day SMA (80,369 ZAC). Price trades just above the 52-week low of 65,186 ZAC.

• Key Metrics:

  • Market Cap: 1.31 T ZAR

  • Technical Fair Value (TFV): 72,748 ZAC

  • Valuation: Discount (−9.81%)

  • Technical Rating: ⭐☆☆☆☆

• Trading Outlook:

  • Buy/Long R:R: 🟢 Favorable

  • Sell/Short R:R: 🟡 Moderate

  • Best Probability Action: At/approaching buy/add 🟩

• Risks:

  • Upside Risk (Shorts): A multi-timeframe divergence is forming near the 65,186 ZAC double-bottom zone; short sellers face asymmetric risk on any positive rotation back toward the 75-day EMA (71,355 ZAC).

  • Downside Risk (Longs): Overhead moving averages remain downward-sloping and stacked; failure to hold the 65,186 ZAC level would trigger stop-runs and accelerate technical selling.
