#Gold #SP500 Discovering a cure for “Just Stop Oil” protestors has been an unexpected side effect of trying to make Cider this year. From a personal stance, Cider can be quite boring but once blended with exotic fruits – or even just strawberry – the drink can prove spectacular. Unfortunately, aiming for such a result was where everything went horribly wrong with some of the initial test attempts.
The disaster with Cider proved quite obvious with 20:20 hindsight. When the raw apple juice mixture had flavouring added, regardless whether it was Cranberry juice, Pineapple juice, or even just boring old Strawberry juice, something dreadful happened during the fermentation process with the result each two litre “test” bottle contained the undrinkable. At least, we assume this was the case as the vivid stink emanating from each opened container ensured the contents were quickly dumped in the garden stream. If just one of these test bottles was opened and left alongside the “Just Stop Oil” folk blocking a morning commute, within minutes they’d be begging motorists to drive them away.
After a while, the decision was made to just produce unadulterated Cider and within weeks, things started to go in the expected direction as it was safe to enter our boiler room. With the fermentation process effectively complete, it’s now the case of patience letting the product settle and achieve some clarity. At present, the liquid colour is very similar to milky coffee, albeit milky coffee which currently registers 17% proof alcohol. We’re now back into another test phase, this time adding flavouring to half the Cider while it’s cloudy with the plan being to add flavouring in a month or so, once it’s clear. Our flavouring experiments will be varied, trying some products from Fevertree while separately, trying a couple of droplets from commercial sources. Maybe Fevertree Light Raspberry & Rose lemonade shall prove to be the missing exotic ingredient!
As it looks like we shall be adding miniscule’ to Fevertree sales, it makes sense to review their share price as it has clearly ingested a “stupid pill” sometime during the last few months. We’re quite curious as to why the share price is oscillating above and below the Red uptrend since 2015, the movements obviously provoking some confusion. However, now above just 1350p should prove capable (hopefully) of triggering price recovery to an initial 1580p with secondary, if exceeded, calculating at 1838p along with almost certain hesitation. Visually, there’s a fly in the ointment due to considerable care being taken to restrain the price just below the 1500p level.
If things intend to lose their sparkle, below 1142p looks a bit dangerous, capable of promoting reversal down to 1052p with secondary, if broken, at 911p, ideally a level which shall provide a rebound.

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.

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.
