Disclosure: The commentary below was compiled using an artificial intelligence tool, based on my own data.


1. Montauk Renewables, Inc. (MKR) | Current: 4,829 ZAC vs. TFV: 3,407 ZAC (+41.7%)

MKR displays extreme multi-timeframe trend extension after an aggressive parabolic re-rating (+154.16% 6-month performance). With tactical momentum registering an overbought 65.90 alongside high intermediate (77.75) and secular (65.54) momentum, price is floating far above its 200-day SMA (2,794 ZAC) and 50-week EMA (3,466 ZAC). The 41.7% premium over its 6-MA composite benchmark leaves the counter vulnerable to a sharp mean-reverting air pocket toward the 8-day EMA (4,673 ZAC) should buying volume falter.


2. Exemplar REITail Ltd. (EXP) | Current: 1,816 ZAC vs. TFV: 1,313 ZAC (+38.3%)

EXP remains locked at the ceiling of its trading range, reflecting illiquid, one-way accumulation that has pegged tactical (95.00), intermediate (94.40), and secular (90.49) momentum into hyper-extended territory. The stock is floating 38.3% above its Technical Fair Value with price pinned well above its 8-day (1,688 ZAC) and 21-day (1,505 ZAC) averages. The structural detachment from long-term baselines flags an acute overextension warning where secondary market liquidity could trigger severe gap-fill risk.


3. Sasol Limited (SOL) | Current: 23,599 ZAC vs. TFV: 17,806 ZAC (+32.5%)

Sasol continues its secular momentum expansion (+119.53% 1-year), operating in a clean moving average ribbon stack (8D > 21D > 75D > 200D). Tactical momentum sits in upper bullish territory at 69.33, confirmed by robust intermediate (68.21) and secular (71.58) momentum regimes. While institutional sponsorship remains firm above the 8-day EMA (23,149 ZAC), trading at a 32.5% premium to its 17,806 ZAC fair value baseline raises the probability of a corrective consolidation back toward the 200-day SMA (17,953 ZAC).


4. Heriot REIT Ltd. (HET) | Current: 2,600 ZAC vs. TFV: 1,962 ZAC (+32.5%)

HET trades in an uncorrected, low-volume vertical ascent (+62.50% 1-year), generating statistical momentum ceiling prints across tactical (96.42), intermediate (96.35), and secular (100.00) horizons. The stock sits 32.5% above its composite baseline, with wide structural air beneath current price and its 8-day (2,447 ZAC) and 21-day (2,095 ZAC) EMAs. The complete absence of two-way liquidity creates high drawdown convexity if buyers step away from the current 2,600 ZAC bid.


5. Stadio Holdings Pty Ltd. (SDO) | Current: 1,632 ZAC vs. TFV: 1,248 ZAC (+30.7%)

SDO exhibits sustained secular trend acceleration (+55.43% 1-year and +35.55% 6-month), maintaining an immaculate bullish moving average structure above its 200-day SMA (1,256 ZAC). Tactical momentum has re-accelerated to 59.64, supported by intermediate (66.03) and secular (82.92) momentum alignment. Although organic fundamental accumulation is evident, the 30.7% premium over TFV leaves new capital allocation vulnerable to a multi-week pause toward the rising 21-day EMA (1,539 ZAC).


6. Omnia Holdings Limited (OMN) | Current: 12,300 ZAC vs. TFV: 9,858 ZAC (+24.7%)

OMN commands one of the strongest technical trend matrices on the exchange (+65.10% 1-year), with price hovering near 52-week highs at 12,746 ZAC. Tactical momentum is elevated at 69.68, while intermediate (76.99) and secular (78.11) momentum profiles remain firmly overbought. Holding 24.7% above its Technical Fair Value, the counter demonstrates unexhausted institutional demand, though risk-reward for long additions is unfavorable until a reversion toward the 21-day EMA (11,858 ZAC) develops.


7. Grindrod Limited (GND) | Current: 2,766 ZAC vs. TFV: 2,245 ZAC (+23.2%)

GND has resumed its high-velocity primary uptrend (+80.20% 1-year), printing a solid +10.64% monthly gain and holding comfortably above its 200-day SMA (2,239 ZAC). Tactical momentum has pushed to 47.52, while secular momentum registers an elite 72.57. The 23.2% premium over its 6-MA composite baseline reflects prolonged institutional accumulation, though shallow retests of the 8-day EMA (2,783 ZAC) are required to reset short-term overextension.


8. Santam Limited (SNT) | Current: 48,200 ZAC vs. TFV: 40,765 ZAC (+18.2%)

SNT has undergone a volatility blowout, surging +18.57% on a weekly basis and pressing into blue-sky territory near 49,000 ZAC. Tactical momentum has breached extreme levels at 85.89, supported by overbought intermediate (78.24) and secular (72.79) regimes. Trading 18.2% above its Technical Fair Value and widely dislocated from its 200-day SMA (40,840 ZAC), the price action is flashing late-stage exhaustion signals, indicating elevated risk of a sharp mean-reversion pullback.


9. ADvTECH Limited (ADH) | Current: 5,133 ZAC vs. TFV: 4,346 ZAC (+18.1%)

ADH remains an elite secular compounder (+57.94% 1-year), holding tightly near its 52-week peak of 5,282 ZAC. Momentum across tactical (55.55), intermediate (67.62), and secular (93.29) horizons reflects pristine trend durability above its rising 200-day SMA (4,357 ZAC) and 50-week EMA (4,765 ZAC). The 18.1% premium above TFV represents structural strength rather than speculative froth, making shallow pullbacks to the 21-day EMA (5,066 ZAC) high-probability continuation zones.


10. Anglo American plc (AGL) | Current: 91,090 ZAC vs. TFV: 78,549 ZAC (+15.9%)

AGL serves as the primary resource sector anchor (+40.50% 1-year), consolidating recent multi-week gains directly above its 8-day (89,560 ZAC) and 21-day (88,631 ZAC) EMAs. Tactical momentum sits at a constructive 63.53 with secular momentum holding at 69.77, confirming ongoing institutional rotation into diversified base metals. While its 15.9% extension above TFV indicates near-term maturity, the structural trend remains robust as long as the 85,449 ZAC intermediate support band holds.

What is a Technical Screen?


In trading and technical analysis, a technical screen (or "screener") is a systematic process used to filter a vast universe of securities—such as the 100+ liquid names on the JSE or the thousands on the NYSE—down to a manageable shortlist that meets specific, predefined criteria.

Rather than analyzing every chart manually, a screen acts as a quantitative "funnel" to identify setups where the odds are mathematically skewed in your favor.


Why Professionals Use Screens

For an investment professional, a screen is less about "finding a tip" and more about process efficiency and bias reduction:

  • Scalability: It allows an analyst to monitor hundreds of shares across multiple timeframes (Daily, Weekly, Monthly) simultaneously.

  • Objectivity: It removes emotional attachment to specific "story stocks" and focuses strictly on price action and momentum profiles.

  • Early Detection: It identifies sector rotations or "alpha flows" before they become obvious to the broader market.


The Goal: A technical screen doesn't tell you what to buy; it tells you what is worth your time to investigate today. It turns a sea of data into a high-probability "watchlist."


Types of Technical Screens


Rotation: Absolute & Relative


Trend & Phase Scans

  • Leading Phase: Strong across all timeframes.

  • Lagging Phase: Weak across all timeframes.

  • Waking Up / Turnaround: Short-term strength appearing in a long-term downtrend.

  • Deteriorating: Short-term weakness appearing in a long-term uptrend.


Momentum & Velocity

  • Power Trend: Extreme bullish momentum pushing a strong trend higher.

  • Hyper Momentum: Parabolic, highly volatile upside.

  • Violent Breakout: Explosive short-term push reversing a weak long-term trend.

  • Momentum Squeeze: Timeframe convergence (coiling) usually preceding an explosive price move.


Over-extended & Extremes

  • Extreme Overbought: Euphoria across the board.

  • Extreme Oversold: Severe panic selling across the board.

  • Overbought Warning in Bear Trend: Violent counter-trend rally ripe for short-selling.

  • Deep Dip in Bull Trend: Sharp, over-extended pullback in a primary uptrend.

  • Capitulation: Total institutional abandonment.


Volatility & Accumulation

  • Steady Accumulation: High-quality, low-drama buying.

  • Low Volatility Compounders: Slow, steady, highly predictable uptrends.

  • High Volatility Momentum: Strong trend with wild daily swings.

  • High-Vol Laggards: Dangerous wealth-destroyers with massive daily swings.

  • Dead Money: Trapped in a tight, directionless neutral zone.


Market Structure & Divergences

  • Perfect Bull Alignment: Textbook sequential leadership (Short-term leads medium-term, which leads long-term).

  • Perfect Bear Alignment: Textbook sequential breakdown (Short-term leads the decline, dragging down medium and long-term trends).

  • Bullish Divergence: Shorter timeframes dragging a dead long-term trend higher.

  • Bearish Divergence: Shorter timeframes breaking down while the long-term trend still looks great.

  • Stealth Bull: Creeping accumulation while the long-term chart still looks bad.

  • Stealth Bear: Creeping distribution while the long-term chart still looks good.

  • MT Turnaround: Medium-term momentum just crossing out of weakness, pulled by short-term strength.

  • MT Breakdown: Medium-term momentum just dropping out of strength, dragged by short-term weakness.


Transitions & Pullbacks

  • Bull Market Correction: Healthy pullback into weak territory within a strong primary trend.

  • Bear Market Rally: Sharp bounce into strong territory within a primary downtrend.

  • Bullish Stall: Short-term momentum flatlining inside a strong trend.

  • Base Building: Bleeding has stopped, chopping sideways at the bottom.
