Barclays Bank & China Yuan too!

#Brent #DAX Sometimes it feels like the market is deliberately spiteful. Three weeks ago, we opted to restrict our Barclays coverage to a single sentence, demanding the price needed go below 174p for concern. Ten days later, it teased by bouncing from 174.26p, crucially not breaking the trigger, and doing very little since. Given the care taken by the market to avoid the 174p level, it appears certain our sums were correct.

While below 174p remains problematic, still pointing at a bottom of 167p with secondary, if broken, down at 155p, we’re inclined toward some hope.

Firstly, the price is trading above its pre-pandemic high.

Secondly, the price is trading above the downtrend since 2013.

Third, it very studiously failed to break our drop trigger level. So, it’s officially fingers crossed time!

 

Presently trading around 188p, the share only need better 192p to trigger gains in the direction of 198.7p. If bettered, our secondary (longer term or within a day or two!) calculates at 216p. The important thing about such a movement is it places the price firmly in a region where 240p becomes a Big Picture point of interest.

China Yuan vs UK Sterling We’ve never covered this before and a glance at the pairings behaviour since 2016 probably explains why. In terms of currency relationships, the picture is pretty calm and boring, stability doubtless a good thing given the quantity bought from China. There are early signs illustrating the potential for coming weakness, essentially suggesting traffic below 8.73 risks GBP weakening down to 8.50. If broken, as looks possible, our secondary (and hopefully bouncy bottom) calculates at 8.09.

 

While we suspect weakness to be coming, there’s a fairly straightforward test required to ‘prove’ if the GB Pound is strengthening against the Yuan. At time of writing, the pair is around 8.735, needing above just 9.06 to trigger movement to an initial 9.253. Our secondary for the longer term, if bettered, works out at 9.620.

SUCCESS above means both FAST & SLOW targets were met. ‘CESS means just the FAST target met and probably the next time it is exceeded, movement to the SLOW target shall commence.

Our commentary is in two sections. Immediately below are today’s updated comments. If our commentary remains valid, the share can be found in the bottom section which has a RED heading. Hopefully, this will mean you no longer need to flip back through previous reports. HYPERLINKS DISABLED IN THIS VERSION

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.
