Standard Bank [JSE:SBK] - Technical Take – update – Stopped out.
The roller-coaster which is Standard bank (SBK) is finally over, entry at 16070c was triggered on 17/08/2017 and tested the 16070c again the following day and still did not break lower. The head and shoulders pattern did not playout and I eventually got stopped out on 22/08/2017 for a loss at my stop level 16500c.
On to the next one.
Standard bank delivered much more excitement yesterday 17 August before it triggered as the bank released their results came out seeing the price rally significantly and it seemed that the head and shoulders pattern was no longer in play. The rally did not last long and we saw the price move lower and triggered the short trade at 16070c.
The mighty head and shoulders pattern has made yet another appearance and this time I am looking to sell (short) STANDARD BANK GROUP LIMITED (SBK) at 16070c
Please take note that the pattern is not complete and it has to break the neckline and preferably close below the neckline before entering the trade. I am going to be a little more adventurous on this one and enter the trade as soon as the neckline is broken.
The pattern can be seen more clearly on a 4-hour time frame than on the daily as depicted on the graph above.
