Sanlam has spent the last couple of weeks consolidating in the form of a bearish rising wedge formation. The move higher off the lows has appeared on lower volume which gives bulls little confidence in this move. Should we manage to see a convincing close below the rising wedge at +- R56.00, this rising wedge could play out with a downside target of R41.50. What is also interesting to note is that the stock has battled to make any progress above the declining 50 day moving average (purple line) which has been respected by the market. Keep a close eye here as the target is quite rewarding should this pattern play out in textbook fashion.
