Technical View

Shoprite 17082018

The near term price action of Shoprite Holdings is to trade within a range between the 20125 and 22200 levels. The current rangebound price environment is indicative of a market waiting for its next directional catalyst, which could be the upcoming results release. While range traders might look to capitalise on movements between these levels, trend followers might prefer to wait for a break of the 20125 level of support, or the 22200 level of resistance, before getting involved. Unfortunately the price currently trades in the middle of this range providing no directional conviction or trading opportunity right now. Short term traders might therefore hope for the results release to provide the catalyst for either a range trade or breakout trading opportunity.
