Antipa Minerals (AZY)

Antipa Minerals (AZY) 31 Aug 2020

Antipa Minerals is in a well-defined short term uptrend, as evidenced by the 21 EMA located above the 34 EMA and with each EMA rising. The long term uptrend is also well-defined, as evidenced by the 144 EMA located above the 233 EMA and with each EMA rising.

Static resistance will be encountered at the 17 Aug 2020 high of 0.049, and then at the 24 Jul 2020 high of 0.058.

Static support will be encountered at the 26 Aug 2020 low of 0.044.

Note that static support at 0.044 coincides with dynamic short term support expected to be encountered in the zone defined by the 21-34 EMAs, projected between 0.042 and 0.045. Whenever multiple support factors coincide, the market response at the zone defined by these factors tends to be stronger. The price has been consistently rebounding higher out of the short term dynamic support zone since the short term uptrend began in March. This highlights the importance of this zone as a future area of potential dynamic short term support going forwards.

Targets are to the 24 Jul 2020 high of 0.058. Beyond 0.058, AZY has little in the way of key price action-based static resistance points to impede upside progress. Note however, static resistance will likely be encountered at the 0.100 round number.

Traders may wish to buy at the static and dynamic support zones with stops set below these levels. If this cannot be achieved, then traders may have to consider buying on a breach of 0.049.

 

Jumbo Interactive (JIN)

Jumbo Interactive (JIN) 31 Aug 2020

Jumbo Interactive is in a well-defined short term uptrend, as evidenced by the 21 EMA located above the 34 EMA and with each EMA rising. The long term trend is undefined, as evidenced the 144 EMA located below the 233 EMA but with each EMA rising. It is likely that these EMAs cross in the near future, therefore initiating a new long term uptrend.

Static resistance will be encountered at the 26 Aug 2020 high of 14.25, the 16 Aug 2019 low of 16.33, and then at the 17 Oct 2019 high of 27.92.

Static support will be encountered at the 26 Aug 2020 low of 12.34.

The dynamic short term support zone is defined by the 21-34 EMAs, projected between 12.05 and 12.40.

The dynamic long term support zone is defined by the 21-34 EMAs, projected between 12.60 and 13.40. The price has been consistently rebounding lower out of the long term dynamic resistance zone since the long term downtrend began in March. The key issue now, is that the price is currently trading above this zone. If this situation continues, the zone may well switch from offering dynamic long term resistance to offering dynamic long term support.

Targets are to the 16 Aug 2019 high of 16.33. The next key target is 27.92. Note however, static resistance will likely be ecountered at the 15.00 round number.

Traders may wish to buy at the static and dynamic support zones with stops set below these levels. If this cannot be achieved, then traders may have to consider buying on a breach of 14.25.

Kirkland Lake Gold (KLA) 31 Aug 2020

Kirkland Lake Gold is in a short term uptrend, as evidenced by the 21 EMA located above the 34 EMA. The long term uptrend is well-defined, as evidenced by the 144 EMA located above the 233 EMA and with each EMA rising.

Note that static support at 70.32 coincides with dynamic short term support expected to be encountered in the zone defined by the 21-34 EMAs, projected between 70.30 and 72.00. Whenever multiple support factors coincide, the market response at the zone defined by these factors tends to be stronger. The price has been consistently rebounding higher out of the short term dynamic support zone since the short term uptrend began in July. This highlights the importance of this zone as a future area of potential dynamic short term support going forwards.

Targets are to the 04 Sep 2019 high of 81.00. Beyond 81.00, KLA is at all-time highs, and therefore targets are open ended.
