Cup-and-handle pattern on Shoprite

Long
JSE:SHP   SHOPRITE HOLDINGS LTD
SHP hasn't had the best year. In March it created a high of R281.90 and then proceeded to crash all the way to R174.50. Interestingly enough however, SHP has created a cup-and-handle pattern over the past two months.

This is a common bullish pattern and indicates a change in trend.

If you look at the chart above, you can see how SHP formed the "cup" part of the pattern during September and October. This was followed by a slight correction in November which created the "handle".

There is also a clear bullish divergence on the MACD. For this reason I will be going long.

Action: Place a Limit order to BUY at R205 with a Stop Loss set at R190. I will aim to take profit at R220 and R230 respectively.
