Technical View

SB_Technical View 15082018

The daily price chart of Standard Bank is hinting at a short to medium term rebound. The price is trying to reverse out of oversold territory at gap support, while the 20 day simple moving average (red line) crossing over the 50 day simple moving average (green line) are suggestions of the rebound. The reversal/rebound remains valid if the share price can remain above (not close below) the 18450 level, in which case 20090 is the upside target favoured from the move. A break of the 20090 level considers 20500 as the next upside resistance target.
