- JSE Top 40 Index: Digesting Overbought Conditions
Research Notes April 2026 > https://www.unum.capital/post/rapril2026 Trade Local & Global Financial Markets with Unum Capital. To get started, email tradingdesk@unum.co.za The index is continuing to digest the short term overbought conditions with a consolidation in our previous sell re-entry range. The index has rallied 15,000 Points vs our buy re-entry range. This is an updated out, which includes the momentum profile, risks and opportunities. Also shown below is the price action model. Price Action Model: The structural picture indicates a market pushing higher but struggling with immediate overhead resistance. In both the immediate Short Term (approx. 1 to 10 days) and Medium Term (approx. 2 to 4 weeks), the index is "in or commencing [an] upward trend". However, the tactical directive across both of these time horizons issues a strict warning to "strongly consider the potential failure to hold prior session range highs," which would actively "create a tactical short-sell opportunity". Looking out to the Long Term (approx. 5 to 8 weeks), the overarching macro view confirms that "buyers [are] in control". Because of the aforementioned "weakness on lower time frame[s]," structural buyers are advised not to chase breakouts, but rather to "look for pullback to 8 or 21-EMA (Buy Range) before next move higher". Model & Momentum Confluence The integration of the multi-timeframe momentum profile provides a perfect explanation for the Price Action Model's cautious tone. On the Daily chart, momentum is surging, with the Ultra Short, Short, and Mid Terms all registering as 'Strong'. This perfectly aligns with the model's "Strong" 7-Day Trend and "Bullish" 14-Day Trend. However, a critical divergence appears when stepping back. On the Weekly chart, while tactical momentum is 'Strong', the heavier Structural and Primary trends remain anchored in 'Neutral'. The Monthly chart echoes this, with the Quarterly Pulse and Secular Cycle also flatlining at 'Neutral'. This stark contrast—aggressive daily momentum running into sluggish macro momentum—is exactly why the model issues a strict warning: "strongly consider the potential failure to hold prior session range highs." The daily buyers are pushing hard, but the larger macro forces are not yet aligned to guarantee a breakout, creating the prime conditions for a tactical short-sell if resistance holds. 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. Lester Davids Senior Investment Analyst: Unum Capital

- JSE-Listed Miner's Bullish Expansion 🟢 These Are The Risks 🔴
Research Notes April 2026 > https://www.unum.capital/post/rapril2026 Trade Local & Global Financial Markets with Unum Capital. To get started, email tradingdesk@unum.co.za Anglo American Plc (AGL) Current Phase: 🟢 Buy on Pullback / Trend Continuation Next Best-Probability Phase: 🟢 Bullish Expansion / Blue Sky Discovery Strategic Overlay: Trend Continuation. Tactical Risk Assessment: Buying vs. Selling What's the risk of buying now? You are initiating a position into a vertical parabolic extension where Daily oscillators are pinned at the overbought ceiling ( ~84.87 ). The primary risk is a sharp, algorithmic mean-reversion "flash" pullback to the 70,000c – 72,000c zone to reset tactical indicators before the next leg up. What Can Change? If institutional buyers maintain the vertical bid and force a weekly close above 82,000c without a pause, it confirms the parabolic phase has entered "Escape Velocity," neutralizing the risk of a near-term dip. What's the risk of selling now? You are stepping directly in front of a synchronized macro-structural breakout in a diversified mining giant. Shorting when the Monthly Secular Cycle is in a vertical discovery phase often results in being "carried out," as overbought conditions can persist for months during a true regime shift. What Can Change? If the daily price structure prints a massive "topping tail" on record volume followed by a bearish cross in the fast oscillators, it would mechanically confirm localized exhaustion and a shift to sideways chop. Forecast Projection Breakdown: With momentum accelerating across all timeframes, the probability distribution is heavily skewed toward immediate continuation. The Bullish Scenario (60% Probability): The vertical squeeze persists. Buyers absorb all profit-taking and drive the price relentlessly toward 85,000c without allowing a deep pullback. The Base/Neutral Scenario (25% Probability): The asset hits a localized psychological wall at 80,000c and enters a high-level flag, grinding sideways toward 72,000c to allow moving averages to catch up. The Bearish Scenario (15% Probability): The breakout is a sophisticated trap. A sudden macro shock forces a high-volume reversal that crashes the stock back into the 67,000c range. We discussed the share in a video comment on 26 August, with the view that the trigger level would be R527. Subsequently, the share rallied to a multi-month high of R831.

- Spar Group: Outlook, Risks & Probabilities
Research Notes April 2026 > https://www.unum.capital/post/rapril2026 Trade Local & Global Financial Markets with Unum Capital. To get started, email tradingdesk@unum.co.za Current Phase: 🔴 Structural Markdown / Capitulation Phase Next Best-Probability Phase: 🔴 Volatility Compression / Base Building Search Strategic Overlay: Tactical Exhaustion. Tactical Risk Assessment: Buying vs. Selling What's the risk of buying now? You are attempting to "catch a falling knife" in a confirmed macro waterfall. The Monthly oscillators are at absolute zero-bound extremes, indicating a complete collapse in structural demand. While "cheap" on a chart, the momentum has not yet arrested, meaning you risk holding through a final capitulation flush toward the 5,000c - 5,500c liquidity void before any durable floor is established. What Can Change? If the Daily price structure prints a massive, high-volume bullish "Hammer" or "Piercing" pattern followed by a definitive cross of the Ultra Short Term momentum above the neutral zone, it would signal a tactical "Spring," validating a temporary bottom. What's the risk of selling now? You are shorting into extreme, multi-year oversold conditions. With the Monthly and Weekly tiers pinned to the floor, the "rubber band" is stretched to its limit. Any minor positive fundamental catalyst could trigger a violent, low-volume "short-squeeze" relief rally of 10-15% just to reset the tactical oscillators. What Can Change? If the daily price continues to "hug" the lower Bollinger band with declining volume, it mechanically confirms that the sell-side pressure is not yet exhausted and the path of least resistance remains a slow, grinding markdown. Timeframe Confluence & Forecasting (WCL Model) 1-Month Forecast (🔴 Bearish/Neutral): Driven by 60% Daily / 30% Weekly / 10% Monthly. Daily oscillators are attempting to curl from oversold levels, but the structural weight is overwhelming. We project a period of volatile, low-level chop as the asset tries to find a floor between 5,800c and 6,500c . 3-Month Forecast (🔴 Bearish): Driven by 20% Daily / 50% Weekly / 30% Monthly. The Weekly structural trend is in a vertical decline with no signs of divergence yet. We project continued lower highs as the market digests the structural damage. 6-Month Forecast (🟡 Base Building): Driven by 10% Daily / 20% Weekly / 70% Monthly. The Monthly timeframe is so extremely washed out that a mean-reversion move is inevitable. We project a long-term stabilization phase six months out as the asset attempts to build a multi-month base above 5,000c . Momentum Profile: The multi-timeframe momentum profile reveals a state of total structural abandonment. Monthly (Macro): The macro suite is at "Terminus." The fast tiers are essentially flat-lining at zero. While this historically precedes a major long-term bounce, the "slope of hope" is currently vertical to the downside. Weekly (Structural): Structural oscillators are in a synchronized downward break. There is no evidence of a momentum hook, signaling that institutional distribution is still active. Daily (Tactical): The daily oscillators are attempting a weak relief reset, but the price is failing to make any upward headway. This is a sign of extreme weakness where the Ultra Short Term , Short Term , Mid Term , and Base Term tiers are failing to produce a unified recovery. Synthesis: The macro "Gravity" is the absolute dominant force. Tactical bounces are being sold into immediately. Structural Analysis & Tactical Bias: Evaluating the broader macro context, SPAR has suffered a catastrophic structural breakdown. After failing to hold the 10,000c handle in late 2025, the tape entered a vertical markdown. It has recently sliced through the 8,200c and 6,850c floors. Currently trading at 6,189c , the asset is searching for a bottom in a historical "air pocket." Given the total lack of structural support, the tactical bias is 🔴 Structural Markdown / Capitulation Phase . Key Support & Resistance Levels: Immediate overhead supply is now heavy at the 6,850c breakdown shelf. Immediate structural support is non-existent on the recent timeframe; the next major historical liquidity pool sits deep at the 5,000c - 5,500c psychological zone. Next Candle Probability: The price action aligns with Scenario 44: 🔴 High-Level Chop / Bounce Exhaustion . The daily structure shows a series of small-bodied candles at the lows, indicating a temporary pause in the selling, but the lack of a "V-bottom" suggests another leg lower is likely. Forecast Projection Breakdown: With momentum at terminal lows, the probability distribution favors a final flush followed by a long, painful base-building process. The Bearish Scenario (55% Probability): The "dead cat" bounce fails to reach 6,500c. Sellers resume the markdown, targeting a final capitulation print near 5,500c . The Base/Neutral Scenario (35% Probability): The asset enters a wide, volatile stabilization range between 5,800c and 6,300c , slowly grinding sideways to work off the extreme Monthly oversold state. The Bullish Scenario (10% Probability): A massive capitulation "flush" occurs on record volume, followed by an immediate V-recovery back above 7,000c , signaling the macro bottom is in. 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. Lester Davids Senior Investment Analyst: Unum Capital
