South32: Buy The Dips

This story features SOUTH32 LIMITED. For more info SHARE ANALYSIS: S32

By Michael Gable 

Share markets continue to struggle to make much headway. However, our call two weeks ago to get back into energy stocks is still valid, as oil and coal stocks continue to look the strongest out there at the moment. The S&P 500 Index was closed overnight, but it sits at a major support level, so it remains to be seen if we get a bounce from here.

Until we get confirmation of some market support, the buying opportunities are few and far between. However, we do have analysis today on South32 ((S32)).

We looked at the chart of S32 on 9 August and made the following comment:

"S32 appears to have a low in place for now. It rallied higher at the end of July and took out the previous swing high before easing back again. Yesterday saw it gap higher on good volume. In our minds, this confirms that we should see further upside from here.

"Current levels are a buy if tight stops are used, and we anticipate some resistance to kick in near $4.40".

We can see that S32 has hit resistance and is now easing back. The overall uptrend since the July low is still in place which means any dips back to $4.00 again are a buying opportunity.
