We had a market scare at opening triggered by the jobs report, but at the end of the day stocks closed near their highs. We believe that we will get an attempt to break top resistances as there was no major selloff. See list of top resistance shares below.

The JSE will remain volatile until the Rhamaphosa saga is sorted.

Global Indexes

S&P 500

The S&P 500 closed just below its long-term negative trend line after the jobs data scare made it open lower. We should know today if we have a break of this negative line?

NASDAQ

The NASDAQ has some distance to go before it reaches its long-term negative resistance.

DAX

The DAX is in bull territory, maybe waiting for the US to catch up.

HANG SENG

The HANG SENG is a similar distance as the Nasdaq away from its long-term negative resistances, but very strong today with a gap. We are expecting an attempt to break these resistances.

NYSE & NASDAQ Stocks

Fluor Corporation

After touching its top resistance several times, Fluor Corporation finally broke it with a 5.7% gain. Never believe that when a share is high it cannot go higher! Notice that its Trend Factor is dark green.

Caterpillar Inc

Similar to Deere Company, Caterpillar is hesitating at top resistance. When the S&P 500 breaks resistance, you can be assured that both these shares will also break top resistance. The following is a list of shares forming a top resistance, or busy breaking it: A, AA, AMD, ANF, ASML, BA, CAT, DE, ENPH, FLR, HD, HES, J, LOW, MAR, MSCI, NVDA, PEP, STM & TSM. You seldom see so many shares forming similar patterns.

JSE Stocks

JSE All Shares

The JSE All Shares did break its top resistance and then the Phala Phala report came, and volatility took over. You can expect volatility on the JSE until uncertainty is replaced with a positive certainty. Can it be achieved?

Capitec Bank Holdings

Uncertainty is to be seen everywhere. The uncertainty can be seen on the long-legged doji candle of Capitec. Most shares have long-legged small body candles to emphasize the uncertainty.
