SBK is probably has the best looking chart out of all banks currently, in my opinion.

I don't like this Bearish engulfing candle that formed.

Banks are seeming on a good run. Standard Bank had been amongst the leaders of the market. Trend continuation breakout on the share. I have no target in mind but a R170 stop loss is a really good one.

Banks have been the sector to be in clearly, even with all the challenges our economy and world markets are facing.
The following factors may support a sell/short: (1) a 'near overbought' rating, (2) a negative divergence between the price and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggesting the upward momentum is potentially slowing (3) trading between 2x to 2.5x it's mean over 200 days. Preferred sell around the last close or slightly higher (may overshoot on the upside). Exit is...
