Sibanye Stillwater set to report big jump in earnings on higher gold, PGM prices
Sibanye Stillwater is expected to report a significant improvement in earnings (a large increase in profit), driven by rising gold and PGM (platinum group metals) prices.
The current price is $12.32, located near the 20-day high resistance level ($12.81). An entry can be considered based on news momentum regarding strong earnings driven by rising gold and PGM prices.
Take profit when the price reaches the resistance level near the 20-day high ($12.81) from the current price of around $12.32, and cut losses if a short-term correction occurs while the RSI is in the overbought zone at 73.4 and the support level ($8.55) is breached.
At the entry point, the technical indicators show an RSI(14) of 73.4 (overbought zone), moving averages not in a bullish alignment, trading volume at 0.77x the 20-day average, and a 7-day volatility rate of +10.2%.
An entry was attempted based on news of strong earnings driven by rising gold and PGM prices, along with an increasing trend in thematic news (rising, S-Class conversion rate of 56.2%). However, the actual result was a loss of -14.4%, hitting the stop-loss level and receiving a FAILED rating. At the time, even though the RSI(14) was in the overbought zone at 73.4 and trading volume was somewhat sluggish at 0.77 times the 20-day average, it is regrettable that focus was placed solely on upward momentum without sufficient caution regarding the possibility of a short-term correction near the resistance level ($12.81, the 20-day high) around $12.32 and the need to verify the support level ($8.55).
Going forward, we will more strictly evaluate not just the number of theme-related news articles or favorable reports, but also whether the RSI at the entry point exceeds 70 (indicating an overbought zone), and whether moving averages are unaligned without accompanying volume. In particular, we will avoid rash chase-buying near resistance levels, thoroughly apply conservative trading principles that prioritize risk management by going through a support-level verification process.
