Judging by the share price, the market responded positively as the share gained +2.7% by the close of trade (near it’s it’s 52-week high). The strength is in line with my comment on Thursday 15 February which considered the share on both an absolute and relative basis (vs the Top 40 Index).

➡️ Wednesday 28 February-2024, 06h30 | BVT Bidvest Group | If you extended your look-back period, you’ll notice that the R234 level has been a key demand-supply zone over the medium term. Since December, the share has traded around this level and in recent weeks has started to break below this level. Note that the price is also below it’s (declining) 50-day EMA and below it’s 200-day SMA. These are negative positions from a technical perspective. ‘Event risk’ is on Monday 04 March in the form of earnings being reported to the market. Note: The 200-week is around the R205 level (subject to change as the price action develops.

➡️ Wednesday 28 February-2024, 06h30 | SOL Sasol Ltd | The 14-day RSI is at the highest level since 15 November, which is a positive development from a technical standpoint. Yesterday’s share price advanced (+4%) is also in line with my comment published last week Thursday (pre-market) which highlighted the same reading across all three time frames (“Reward-to-risk becoming attractive for a small buy/long position”)

➡️ Wednesday 28 February-2024, 06h30 | CFR Richemont | The negative divergence as per the the 14-day RSI as well as the reading via the Tactical Trading Guide (“Aggressive buying but overbought on lower time frame. Expect consolidation or minor retracement”) ts starting to unfold with the share having weakened on Monday (-0.50%) followed by a further pullback during yesterday’s session (-1.15%). Also note the share having been one of the the most extended versus it’s 75-EMA.

➡️ Wednesday 28 February-2024, 06h30 | TRU Truworths | As discussed and anticipated last week (Friday 23-Feb), the strong move higher to R80 (from R68) could be used as as opportunity to reduce long positions. In addition, the failure to hold the range/previous session highs should be monitored which would signal a loss of upward momentum. We have since seen the share retrace to a low of 7390c, which also exceeds the unfilled gap (20-February).

➡️ Wednesday 28 February-2024, 06h30 | ABG Absa Group | On Monday, the share traded into it’s rising 50-day EMA, followed by a rebound on Tuesday (yesterday). The low was 16307c while the share traded into the high of 16756c. The move is in line with the Tactical Trading Guide which looked at the 50-day EMA as a buy/long re-entry zone. For ultra short term traders, these opportunities can be used to generate cash flow around core positions.

➡️ Tuesday 27 February-2024, 06h30 | CPI Capitec Bank |UPDATE: The resistance range (R2081 to R2110) was tested followed by a pullback. This pullback also coincides with the reading via the Tactical Trading Guide (show on the chart on Thursday pre-market) which looked for a failure to hold the previous session/range highs.

➡️ Tuesday 27 February-2024, 06h30 | VOD Vodacom Group (Update) | Refer to yesterday’s pre-market comment which highlighted the following: “…positive divergence 14-day RSI & positive crossover MACD” (see 1st extract below). Yesterday the candle structure was positive (confirming the positive signals on the indicators) while the tactical trading guide (highlighted in yellow) is also shown below (2nd extract).
➡️ Tuesday 27 February-2024, 06h30 | MTN Group | Similar to it’s sector peer Vodacom, MTN’s candle structure for yesterday’s session reflected one of potential buying interest. I acknowledge the share having been in a strong downside trend (high bearish momentum) while the lower level previously envisaged have unfolded (see yellow line I.e. potential price path on the chart). The previous swing low has been tested while the 14-day RSI is at it’s highest level since late January. Note: MTN remains a high-risk share.

➡️ Tuesday 27 February-2024, 06h30 | SBK Standard Bank | I do my utmost to provide a balanced perspective, specifically with regard to multiple time frames. My communication with clients suggest that there is demand for the Tactical Trading Guide and if you are a short term, active trader, there are always opportunities to generate cash flow around core positions. Yesterday’s pre-market reading for SBK is yet another example of how the reading acted as a guide to the potential price action and opportunity. In short, if the 8-day EMA was breached, then around the 21-EMA would be a range to buy. We saw the share trade at this level which was followed by string buying which saw the share close near the highs of the day.
