Eish man... That sucks! : /  

 

41600 is key (Investing.com). I will either buy back my shorts on a bounce there or add shorts there.

Now... Get out on IG after hours or wait for futures to open.  We are already quite far down on IG.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to cancel my Adventures of the Gummi Bears boxset order too! :)


Haha, got that set back when the USD was 6.86 to the ZAR! Wanna buy it from me? I'm offering it at R9.00 / USD?

Also think the Rand is in for another hammering today.

For the love of jellybeans, I'm cancelling my Amazon purchases! :P

Doubtful, but yesterday proved a lot of people wrong and logic seems to have left the building.


The neg div on daily is there as well as the massive kangaroo tail which normally indicates a reversal of the current trend, but the the R/$ already at 10.65 techs might mean nothing.

 
Doubtful of a turn around back to 42k or a drop down to 41600?

I find trading like body surfing, catch the right one and you will make it all the way to the beach.

Seeing that there is little rational 'techs' driving ALSI (yes?), other than ZAR maybe (?), my playbook includes for today: turn-around Tuesday - drop in the morning to +- 41600-650, then the path is paived up to 42000+


Well, that be the theory at least. Roll-on Tuesday.

I think A's theory is till valid here...

 

I mean surely people would like to take profit home? :)  Many stocks are at technical targets (if I can put it like that), negative divergences are creeping in everywhere (mainly because of the low volumes we've seen) and many counters are over extended.

 

Also, yesterday's push was really on such thin trade (I stand to be corrected, just looked at a few big moves' volumes), so I won't read too much into it.

 

That all being said, I am not calling for a mother of a crash or anything, just don't see how this (what we've seen in the Santa Rally and yesterday) can be sustained in the nearby future.

From your perspective, Lekkerry is faceless and to a degree nameless, so any opinions expressed are just that, opinions from someone on the Internet  :D

The gold index rose over 5% today....not sure what the correlation/relationship is between ZAR and the gold index.
Plasma, not sure if this is will help? IMO gold has no influence on the J200 because the combined weight ot ANG and GFI is only 1.9% of the index.
Thanks M!

Your short entry was spot on AJS, well done!

 

Thanks, just got lucky I guess.  Now tomorrow and Monday will be telling, especially since the volumes would most likely pick up a bit.

Yeah, I agree.  ANG is currently the only gold counter in the TOP40 as well.
