Our market continues to push higher as we foreshadowed over the last couple of weeks. The target we gave last week of about 5350 is still within reach, despite the odd down day or so along the way. If our market can do a retest under 5100 over the next week and find support, then that would be a second chance entry point for a run up to 5350. Much of the rally has been due to short covering, so our tip is to make hay while the sun shines but don't get too confident as we push towards that target level.
Nimbleness, individual stock picking, and the ability to be happy taking a profit means that you can probably do very well.
In our opinion this is the best way to deal with a difficult market. Take the profits on a stock that gets expensive and hits resistance, and then move on. Blending fundamental and technical analysis gives us the best chance to do this. You won't get it right all of the time, but most of the time, and that's what matters. We are now seeing breakouts in other stocks we like such as Orora ((ORA)).
Our comment on 23 February noted the resistance at $2.40 and mentioned "we would be looking for a weekly close above that level to confirm further upside where we can project a target towards $2.80." Last week saw ORA have a bullish close above that level so we would now look towards that $2.80 target. A weekly close under the $2.40 level, which is now support, would make our view turn negative.
