To get started, email tradingdesk@unum.co.za NOTE: When Published Intraday (JSE Equities), Prices Are Delayed By 15 Minutes BID CORP: As mentioned in the previous note, the share is not overbought and is potentially poised for further upside. Currently, the share is seeing improving candle structure within a consolidation phase with potential to break to the upside. An igniting candle and institutional volume would be a bonus! 🟩Running +10%: Stable, Low-Beta Staple. Not Overbought & Potentially Poised For Further Recovery (Also See Updated View) Bid Corp Previous Post (15 January) Bid Corp: Improving Candle Structure In An Oversold Range + Relative Distance at Extremes Most recently, the share gave us a trading opportunity for a 5% tactical rebound. Longer term, the share, on a relative basis, is trading at extremes vs it's 200-day moving average. Indicator: 200-Day Moving Average Distance (Relative) Current Reading: -23.98% DOMINANT TREND: ACCELERATED UNDERPERFORMANCE The BID/J200 ratio has entered a parabolic descent. The breakdown below the 2020 "Covid-low" support levels indicates a major structural shift. Bid Corp is currently decoupled from the broader market strength of the JSE Top 40, signaling intense selling pressure on a relative basis. STATISTICAL EXTREME (MA DISTANCE) At ~24% below its 200-day Moving Average, the stock is at its most extended "oversold" state in over a decade. Historically, deviations beyond 15-18% are rare for this pair; the current reading represents a 3-standard deviation event from the mean. MEAN REVERSION POTENTIAL The "Rubber Band" theory suggests a high probability of a snap-back rally. In 2018, 2020, and 2022, similar (though less extreme) extensions resulted in sharp periods of outperformance. However, the current vertical drop suggests the "mean" itself is now falling rapidly, which can dampen the magnitude of the eventual recovery. REWARD-TO-RISK RATIO Upside: Potential 24% relative gain if the ratio returns to its 200-day equilibrium. Downside: Low technical visibility. Until the price flattens, the "floor" remains theoretical. Verdict: Mathematically favorable for long-term contrarians, but high-risk for short-term traders due to lack of price stabilization. STRATEGIC OUTLOOK: MONITOR FOR EXHAUSTION The current price action represents "capitulation." Tactical investors should look for the MA_dist indicator to cross back above the -20.00 threshold as a signal that the selling climax has peaked. Avoid front-running the turn until the daily candle shows a reversal pattern. Previous Post (18 December): Short Term Traders, Grab This +5% on Bid Corp (Take Profit) The share has started to follow the 'potential price path'. Short term traders, take profit on this +5% move.
