FOOD stock Tiger Brands is building up for a good rally after consolidating since November. We show two upside targets for it, based on its chart.

Tiger Brands– Upside breakout.

Recommendation: Buy.

Trend: Short term sideways. Medium and long term up.

(Daily)

n Tiger Brands has been consolidating the past two months in a descending triangle (lines 1 and 2). Last week it broke out above line 2, which is a positive sign. The recent lows at line 1 have also formed a “double bottom” pattern (bullish).

n At current levels continued upside is expected.

n The first target is R404, that is, the height of the triangle projected up. Take half trading profits there.

Then Target 2 is at R416, measured as the height of the recent double bottom projected up.

n The stop-loss is a closing price below R360.

From R398 bring your stop up to a close below R372, and take profits as advised above.
