SP 500

The SP500 has reached its double bottom target of 2100, mentioned in previous reports. This level corresponds to a huge resistance level that has been in place for the last year.

It is interesting to note that lately the SP500 has moved up with the oil price (Brent shown on the chart) and if the oil price continues to move up (oil has broken a downtrend), the SP500 may break to the upside.

Top 40 Chart

The Top40 continues to trade in its two year sideways price channel.

Below the Top40 chart is a net-overall market indicator that shows the number of shares in the JSE Overall going up versus the number of shares going down. What it shows is the fact that the top40 is being held up by a few large dual listed stocks, while the rest of the market has had quite a torrid time over the last year. However, recently we are seeing a change to that trend, where the net-over has broken above its 100DMA.

CURRENCY

The Rand

The Rand continues in its strengthening trend against the Dollar. We have indicated two targets, one from the head and shoulder formation giving a target price of 13.20 to the $ and the double top formation in the left shoulder that indicates a target price of 14.05 to the $.

Charts of Interest

The charts we have included are: SBK, ITU, KIO and ZED

Standard Bank formed a reverse head and shoulder showing a possible price target of R140. Currently SBK is at resistance at the R130 level and seems to be forming a sideways channel. A break above the channel is required to reach its target.

______

Intu Properties plc is at an interesting buy level at around the R60 mark.

______

Kumba, as many other resource companies, have had a significant turnaround from their lows. Given the reverse head and shoulder formation, KIO can likely reach the R200 mark.

______

Zeder has reached its reverse head and shoulder target and this level also corresponds to a previous head and shoulder neckline that is now resistance, so a pullback may be in order.

Relative Rotation Graph

Below we have a few sectors relative to the Allshare Index.The sectors are based on the Business Day division of sectors.

Basic materials and healthcare are losing momentum, but still in the geen quadrant.Momentum in financials and industrials are positive.

Explanation on the RRG:

Note that each symbol on the chart is plotted as a dot with a “tail” extending backwards. The tail shows you the history of the symbol's position in the past. Each dot on each symbol's tail represents one period, in this case a week. The large dot at the end of the tail represents the current relative momentum values for that ticker symbol and the colour represents the current quadrant it finds itself in.

There are four quadrants on the chart:

• Leading (Green) - strong relative strength and strong momentum
• Weakening (Yellow) - strong relative strength but weakening momentum
• Lagging (Red) - weak relative strength and weak momentum
• Improving (Blue) - weak relative strength but improving momentum

Typically, indices progress through the quadrants in a clockwise manner.

Interpretation:

• The longer the tail, the bigger the move and higher the volatility.
• The further the index is from the benchmark (the cross hairs) the bigger the move in relative performance (up or down)
• RS-Ratio (relative strength) is more important than RS-Momentum
• The rotational patterns are not always perfectly circular and will not always rotate through all four quadrants in a clockwise manner. These are, after all, financial markets driven by fear and greed.
• In general, a cross from the left half to the right half signals a new uptrend in relative performance. This means RS-Ratio has moved above 200. Conversely, a cross from the right half to the left half signals a new downtrend in relative performance. This means RS-Ratio has moved below 200.
• The underlying trend-following model that powers RRG includes a lag period, as do all trend-following models. This means there will already be upward movement in the price relative before the RRG line actually crosses into the leading quadrant. Similarly, the price relative will peak and move lower before the RRG line actually crosses into the lagging quadrant.
• Symbols in the leading quadrant should be on your buy list because they show relative strength. Symbols in the weakening quadrant should be on your watch-list for deterioration. Symbols in the lagging quadrant should be on your avoid list because they show relative weakness. Symbols in the improving quadrant should be on your shopping list as potential buys.
• RRGs separate the market leaders from the market laggards and therefore great for channeling your attention to those areas of the market that deserve it.
• Keep in mind that these are relative performance indicators, and there is still a risk that the rotation turns back or even reverses.
