Ideas only. Nothing is certain. Make decisions that are right for your trading and investing strategy.

USDZAR (Dollar-Rand)

Still in the upward channel. Staying under resistance for now. Set to eventually pop above the resistance and continue to $21 in 2024.

BTCUSD (Bitcoin-Dollar)

Trending up. Cup and handle projects up to 45k mid term.

GSPC (S&P 500)

Negative break below the downward channel. Breaks through support. Unfortunately 3900 is the next stop. Keep an eye out - may be dangerous times ahead.

CL (Crude Oil)

Trending up. Price still under the trendline support though.

NG (Natural Gas)

Higher high. Looking good target of $4 still in play.

GC / XAUUSD (Gold)

Positive break above the resistance. Still the big resistance overhead at $2041. Even if it breaks through that price could reverse...it is gold after all.

JSE:STX40 (Satrix 40)

Barely hanging on to the trend line. Failing that 5800 opens up.

JSE:BTI (Bats)

Negative break. Trending down to support at 51365.

JSE:CLS (Clicks)

Negative break. Trending down.

JSE:STXPRO (Satrix Property ETF)

Negative break. Lower low. Trending down. Massive descending triangle. Careful if you are banking on this and SA property in general. Next stop 765.

JSE:RNI (Reinet)

Negative break. Head and shoulders pattern projects down to 34000.

JSE:SYG4IR (Sygnia 4th Ind ETF)

Negative break. Descending triangle. Trending down.

JSE:STXCHN (Satrix China ETF)

Downward trend. Nice down channel.

JSE:SYGP (Sygnia Global Property)

Negative break. Death cross.

JSE:ABG (Absa)

Big head and shoulders pattern forming. Worrying.

JSE:BAW (Barloworld)

Negative break. Huge head and shoulders pattern. Trending down.

US:BLK (Blackrock)

Looks to be taking a breather for a while. Heading to $530.

US:NFLX (Netflix)

Thought it was a kiss goodbye but results saw price jump. Still a little precarious and Needing a higher high or higher low. Only a lower low was printed.

US:USRT (iShares Core US REIT)

Trending down.

US:MSTR (Microstrategy)

Positive break. Nice base built and cup and handle being formed on the uptick in bitcoin price. Trend is up.

US:AR (Antero Resources)

Positive break. Cup and handle. Golden cross. Looking decent.

US:AMD (AMD)

Ugly looking downward channel.

US:JNJ (Johnson and Johnson)

Negative break. Broken from a big top pattern.

US:ZM (Zoom Video Communication)

Descending triangle. Trending down. Huge loss of value.

US:F (Ford)

Negative break. Trending down. Horrible looking chart. A shoulder, head and multiple shoulders. Projects down to zero - unlikely to happen.
