Pat said:Hitman,
May I ask what all this means?
Certainly resistance at $3.50, but looks a pretty rough old ascending triangle....hitmanlam said:MTN looks like forming an "Ascending triangle". This pretty much means increasing sellers near the $3.50 mark and not allowing the price to go above this price. Imagine a ceiling at $3.50. This is resistance. (horizontal line drawn at $3.50).

Imagine a ceiling at $3.50. This is resistance. (horizontal line drawn at $3.50). However, buyers are building at lower prices resulting in the support price going up (bottom line going up). There is a struggle between seller & buyers with sellers increasing near $3.50 & increase buying below this price. This is what you see on the chart with the wedged-like shape forming.
So when price slowly creeps up to $3.50, what will happen you might ask? Either two things:
1) Bounce of resistance of $3.50 and price going lower.
2) Price 'breaks' through this resistance and continuing the uptrend.
In the case of MTN, price is going up, then pausing or slight retracing, then it could either going up or down. See the circles drawn.
Conclusion - Because it is an ascending triangle in an uptrend, it is "more likely" that price will continue its uptrend. The support line increasing below the horizontal resistance line is the signal! If is was a short-term trader, I would buy only above/pass the resistance e.g $3.60? More chance of price continuing. But don't take my word on it!!! DYOR.

Understand what a ascending triangle is, and yes a bit rough Kennas, but so am I.
However what are those "big" green circles indicating?
Just a sideways pattern?
hitmanlam said:I was just highlighting that MTN was in a period of consolidation. Profit-takers came in but the share price soon recovered, reaching new highs. Last couple of days, volume was fairly low. If i had more money, I would have topped up at close today. Bullish signal, it broke resistance, still good fundamentals & the historical chart shows that the sp is ready for another leg up.

hitmanlam said:Well, just saw PDN place a takeover offer for SMM today.
I thought about MTN and why a big Canadian company hasn't put an offer on the table yet. I mean, MTN has proven that it's got an economically viable resource. And not just that, it's cheap too. EV/lb of $3 and a market cap of only $240 mil. For a big Canadian company, $240 mil is NOTHING.
hitmanlam said:My prediction, and a bold one at that.....there will be an offer for MTN straight after the April policy. Not just MTN, but a wave of takeover offer for unvalued Aus companies.
