DAILY CHART ANALYSIS

Based on the Daily Chart for MTN Group Limited (MTN), the reward-to-risk profile is constructive as the asset resumes its primary uptrend following a brief, shallow consolidation. The upside reward potential is moderate to high 🟩 because the stock has successfully defended its structural baselines and is actively pushing back toward recent absolute highs. Conversely, the downside risk is managed 🟩. The market has established a clear pattern of buying dips within the broader ascending channel, leaving well-defined support floors just below current price action.

The Last Day Candle Structure indicates near-term consolidation, forming a mild bearish candle 🟥 that reflects localized profit-taking near the recent peak. Looking at the Last 5 Days Candle Structure, the stock exhibits a strong impulsive upward leg that broke through local resistance, transitioning into a lateral holding pattern. The Last 10 Days Candle Structure reveals a continued push into higher highs followed by this current shallow pullback, keeping the broader bullish structure entirely intact. Zooming out to the Last 3 Months Candle Structure, the asset is navigating a clean, highly resilient primary uptrend, marked by consistent institutional bidding on every minor correction.

The trend’s steepness and slope on this immediate leg indicate a measured, sustainable advance. The angle of ascent is steady, tracking at roughly 45 to 55 degrees upward 🟩. Consequently, the immediate trend remains structurally bullish 🟩, keeping price action firmly above its short-term historical averages.

In terms of the Momentum Profile, the oscillators confirm a structurally sound market that is cycling out of a brief rest. The Ultra Short Term momentum is pointing down and is classified as NEUTRAL 🟧, reflecting the immediate localized pause. Similarly, the Short Term momentum is pointing down and sits firmly in NEUTRAL 🟧 territory. Moving to the medium-term picture, the Mid Term momentum has cooled from previous highs and is officially categorized as NEUTRAL 🟧, confirming that the multi-day structural momentum has fully digested overbought conditions and is resting at equilibrium. Finally, the Base Term momentum sits in STRONG 🟩 territory, validating that the underlying trend foundation remains robust and supportive.

WEEKLY CHART ANALYSIS

Based on the Weekly Chart for MTN Group Limited (MTN), the reward-to-risk profile highlights a powerful primary uptrend that is steadily marching higher. The upside reward potential is attractive 🟩 because the asset has successfully cleared previous macro consolidation zones, maintaining a clean runway for further upward price discovery. Conversely, the downside risk is relatively low 🟩, as the steady, staircase-like ascent has built multiple robust support shelves directly below current price action.

The Last Candle Structure shows a mild resting phase, forming a small consolidation candle 🟧 that reflects localized profit-taking without damaging the broader bullish structure. Looking at the Last 5 Candles Structure, the index displays a clean sequence of grinding accumulation, confirming persistent institutional bidding across the weekly duration. The Last 10 Candles Structure captures a textbook upward channel where minor pullbacks are instantly and aggressively bought. Zooming out to the Last 3 Months Candle Structure, the broader macro environment shows a definitive and sustained mark-up phase with no signs of structural exhaustion.

The trend’s steepness and slope outline a highly durable advance. The angle of ascent is moderately aggressive, tracking at approximately 50 to 60 degrees upward 🟩. This confirms the prevailing macro trend is definitively bullish 🟩.

In terms of the Momentum Profile, the macro indicators reflect a strong and active trend. The Tactical

Momentum is classified as HIGH BULLISH MOMENTUM / APPROACHING OVERBOUGHT 🟧, reflecting elevated near-term momentum.

MONTHLY CHART ANALYSIS

Based on the Monthly Chart for MTN Group Limited (MTN), the reward-to-risk profile is governed by a powerful, multi-year secular recovery trend. The upside reward potential remains attractive 🟩 as the stock methodically scales higher, marching back toward major historical resistance zones. Conversely, the downside risk is managed structurally but elevating on a mean-reversion basis 🟧, as the extended duration of the rally creates a wider gap down to foundational moving average baselines.

The Last Candle Structure remains exceptionally strong, forming a bullish expansion candle 🟩 that reflects total control by long-term capital pools. Looking at the Last 5 Candles Structure, the asset displays an uninterrupted series of positive months, signaling a pure, unadulterated mark-up phase. The

Last 10 Candles Structure illustrates a relentless structural advance off a major higher-low foundation. Zooming out to the Last 3 Months Candle Structure, the market continues to accelerate upward within a massive secular bull channel.

The trend’s steepness and slope reflect a sustainable and relentless secular rally. The angle of ascent is steady, tracking at approximately 45 to 55 degrees upward 🟩 on the macro scale. This confirms the overarching secular trend is powerfully bullish 🟩.

In terms of the Momentum Profile, the long-term indicators are signaling peak historical velocity. The

Quarterly Pulse momentum is tracking as OVERBOUGHT 🟧, reflecting immediate long-term extension. The Fast Monthly momentum is also tracking as OVERBOUGHT 🟧. Moving to the secular view, the Secular Cycle momentum has pushed deeply into the OVERBOUGHT 🟧 category, showing that the long-term structural oscillator is highly extended. Finally, the Core Baseline momentum is actively tracking in STRONG 🟩 territory, confirming that the multi-year foundational trend has ample energy and institutional backing.

READY TO TRADE: ACTIONABLE AREAS

For active traders who look to generate cash flow on a continuous basis, determining the ‘next best probability’ level to execute against may be of immense value, specifically by helping to determine the best potential times and levels to commit capital.

The blue and red horizontal lines on the chart represent a next-best-probability buy re-entry range and a next-best-probability sell re-entry range over the short term. The ranges assume no existing position is being held by a trader, while the probabilities are based on several factors, which may include:

• Short-term ratings and medium-term regimes

• Momentum indicators

• Horizontal or diagonal support and resistance

• Candle structure

• Moving averages and standard deviation

Please note that these are short-term levels and may contrast with medium- and long-term outlooks, which are based on the weekly and monthly charts and are generally more applicable to long-term investors. These levels are subject to change based on market sentiment, subsequent price action, and company/sector-specific or macroeconomic news flow. As always, while the levels are outlined to guide your capital deployment, traders should be prepared to adjust in real-time based on the aforementioned factors.

THE TACTICAL TRADING GUIDE (PRICE ACTION MODEL): UNCOVER OPPORTUNITIES & ASSESS REWARD-TO-RISK

• It helps helps clients determine and shed light on the some of the following:

• The CURRENT TECHNICAL POSITION and a PRICE ACTION PROBABILITY for multiple time frames.

• Three (3) ‘trading’ time frames are considered: Short Term (1 to 10 days) / Medium Term (2 to 4 weeks) and Long Term (5 to 8 weeks)

• Whether the reward-to-risk is attractive for a buy/long position

• Whether a share is weak. In this case, wait until the price stabilizes before looking to enter (i.e. want until it stops going down)

• Whether aggressive buying is underway. In this case, do not ‘chase’ (do not buy) but instead wait for a pullback to re-enter a buy or an overextension with deteriorating candle structure to sell/short.

• Whether a trader can look to buy a pullback into a key moving average (continuation trade)

• Whether a share needs to break a range for a new trend to be determined (bullish or bearish)

• Whether a traders needs to monitor for a change of character that could lead to a bullish or bearish reversal

• Whether a share could start a consolidation phase or before continuing it’s bullish or bearish trend

• Whether the upward momentum is slowing (if it's in a bullish phase)

• Whether buyers can look to 'phase in' to a position (if it's in a bearish phase)

• Whether a share lacks directional bias.

• The data set is available in real-time (on request)

• The readings are subject to change as the price action develops.
