Sappi [JSE:SAP] has broken out of a short-term consolidation pattern and has a higher target, thereby offering an opportunity for traders.
Sappi (SAP) – Higher target
Recommendation: Traders buy
Current Trend: Short- and med-term up. Long-term sideways.
Strategy: Buy at current levels or better for a short-term rally.
(Daily)
Chart Setup: Sappi has broken out of a neat symmetrical triangle (lines 1 and 2). It’s generally working its way higher to long-term resistance, which is line 3 at R101.70.
- Its short-term Stochastic can still move higher
Strategy Details: Buy it at current levels or better. (It was at R93.70 at the time of writing).
Target: Minimum target to R100 i.e. the height of the triangle projected up. Take most profits there. Take the rest closer to R101.70 (line 3) if reached. (Note, that is also a target from a large rounding bottom pattern which has taken place this year so far, not shown).
Stop-loss: A close below R90.00. From R97.00 raise the stop to breakeven (entry) and from R98 raise it again to a breaking of its prior two-day low, to protect profits.
