#Nasdaq #FTSE For some reason, a personal impression “peptides” are baddies wasn’t entirely assuaged by a single sentence in the American website WebMD. They wrote “collagen peptides are possible safe” in an article about their use in skin care, perhaps not the most glowing reference. However, ImmuPharma are a company specialising in the use and development of biopolymers, specifically peptides. Needless to say, some essential reading revealed rather more information than wanted about peptides and their ability to tick boxes in the delivery of medical solutions.
After rapidly educating ourselves above Peptides, our inclination was to cease knitting “Just Stop Peptides” t-shirts, upon discovery the the chemical group is capable of taking a sneaky route to deliver essential medicines to fix issues with the human body.. From a personal perspective, this is a “good thing” as it’s quite tiresome, when every 4 or 5 years, my body decides to say “nope” to whatever chemotherapy is being given, demanding a regime change to whatever poison is next on the list. It’s certainly strange how the human body will decide to reject a drug, then experience withdrawal effects while you stop taking it. And then, there is a slow build up to acclimatise yourself to the next drug regime, along with its unpleasant side effects which will make themselves known over the next year or two. It is rarely an enjoyable process and any regime which introduces a better way of sneaking poisons into the body gets my somewhat biased vote! Unlike politicians, it appears some peptides can be good!
Judging by share price movements, the company is undoubtedly being talked about on the internet with the visuals “proving” the deramping squad of chatroom posters me be correct. But there’s something worth paying attention to and it’s a share price twitch which happened on January 9th. Doubtless due to some news perceived as positive (see chart inset), the stock market opted to “gap” the share above the downtrend since late 2020, the initial surge launching the price into quite an interesting zone where some price recovery is possible. By doing this, it appears rabid traders believed the world had changed for the substantially better and perhaps they were right. But from the misty damp corners of internet chatrooms, pearls of wisdom were soon being given, doubting absolutely everything which was going on, percentage gains approaching zonko percent as unreliable and unlikely to stick.
This is one of these daft scenario, where it becomes possible both sides of the argument may be correct!
When we review what the market did on the 9th of this month, it was a statement “this share is no longer viewed as going down”, creating a situation where within minutes, it experienced gains of around 100%. This incredible optimism lasted for almost 4 hours before the share price again accelerated, now driven by buyer demand to complete the session nearly 300% up. Even cynical old hands like ourselves will generally quickly warn this is unsustainable, except for the niggling movement of the market right at the open of trade. When a trend line dating back 5 years is wilfully broken, it always tends mean something important though the speed of price recovery may well prove just a little silly.
From a near term perspective, there is certainly a scenario presenting the threat of “little risk” reversals as we anticipate a bounce at one or the other reversal levels. An immediate perspective suggests weakness next below 2.75p shall prove reversal to 2.2p and hopefully a bounce. It’s certainly be a nice level to anticipate life beginning again. But should 2.2p be broken by any substantial amount, our secondary calculates at 1.31p, a share price level where a bottom firm enough to attract a UK politicians interest should appear! Such a target matches the historical level of trend break early in January, logic alone demanding a rebound should it appear. We tend favour the initial target around 2.2p as a bounce point, visually, it makes more sense.
However, should things continue to go right for LSE:IMM, above just 3.6 should prove significant, in a perfect world triggering further movement to an initial 4.25 with secondary at a visually important 5.65, this launching the share price into a zone where a future Long Term 8.9p could be dreamed of.

Please remember, all prices are mid-price (halfway between the Buy and Sell). When we refer to a price CLOSING above a specific level, we are viewing the point where we can regard a trend as changing. Otherwise, we are simply speculating on near term trading targets. Our website is www.trendsandtargets.com.
UPDATE. We often give an initial and a secondary price. If the initial is exceeded, we still expect it to fall back but the next time the initial is bettered, the price should continue to the secondary. The converse it true with price drops.
