SLF.AX SLF
SLF (SLF.AX) trend channel, buy level and 3-month target on Trade The Path. Listed on Australian Securities Exchange. Levels below are fitted to this ticker's own swing highs and lows (Theil–Sen, log-price), then projected 3 months. If this ticker has no settled sample yet, treat the numbers as a geometric read, not a track record. Information only, not financial advice.
Broken down below, falling on both timeframes
Price has closed below the channel. Support has failed — treat the buy target with caution.
The next few months are read from the last 12 months, not the last 18 months: that channel fits this stock's recent turns at least as well (80% against 65%) and it is the one price is respecting now. The last 18 months stay as context: falling, −10% a year. The target of A$14.95 sits above the nearest ceiling (A$12.77, from the last 18 months), so reaching it means breaking a line this stock has repeatedly turned at. What would overturn this: a close below A$12.33 — the floor of the channel being read — after which the trend, not the entry, is what was wrong.

- Regained so far
- 0%of what it lost
- What the record says
- 89% of 994 comparable falls came back, typically in 64 days measured across every stock we hold history for, its peer group being too small
The trend broke in August 2025: price fell 24% from 14.81 to 11.29 by September 2026, and has regained 0% of that fall since. Its peers did not fall with it, so this was about the company rather than its sector. Falls like it have resolved: falls of about 24% here have come back to the old high 89% of the time (994 comparable falls), typically in 64 days. On that record the fall is treated as temporary, and the trend lines are fitted to the regime it created rather than through it. Priced from that: 14.95 within 63 days, reached 89% of the time in 994 comparable falls — about 0.52% a day held.
The buy and sell prices below are priced off this recovery rather than off the channel: it is the better expected return per day held once each is charged for the odds of working.

The trend broke in August 2025: price fell 24% from 14.81 to 11.29 by September 2026, and has regained 0% of that fall since.

Falls like it have resolved: falls of about 24% here have come back to the old high 89% of the time (994 comparable falls), typically in 64 days. On that record the fall is treated as temporary, and the trend lines are fitted to the regime it created rather than through it. Priced from that: 14.95 within 63 days, reached 89% of the time in 994 comparable falls — about 0.52% a day held. The entry is today's price, not a dip level: the fall is behind it and the evidence measured is what these recoveries paid from here, so waiting for a lower entry would be waiting for something the record does not say is coming. Of 994 comparable falls across every stock we hold history for, 89% were back at the old high within 64 days of the low, and the ones that got there gave up about 9% along the way — so expect to be underwater before it works. The target is the median level they regained, which is short of the old high of 14.81 because not all of them saw it again. It is a prediction and it is revised the same way any other is: if price loses its 50-day trend and stays below it, the recovery is treated as failed rather than delayed.
