Phoenix Group (LSE:PHNX) searching for ashes…

#Gold #WallSt We’ve had a few emails asking about this share, because they are apparently cheap. We’ve an immediate problem with companies awarding themselves “inspiring” names such as Evergrande, Phoenix, WeWork, Perfect, Friends Reunited, WorldCom, Windows 8, and so on. Generally, this sort of thing tends to backfire in the fullness of time with China Evergrande currently taking centre stage.

However, savings and retirement giant Phoenix (once known as Pearl since 1857) have a share price is looking a little problematic. Since 2014, the share has been achieving a series of “lower lows” and visually, this is more worrying than cheap Halloween decorations. Making matters worse, in September the market opted to gap the share price below a long term Red uptrend and this decision calls into question any excuse for immediate optimism.

And there is a solid excuse for optimism as the recent drop to 436p represented a Big Picture bottom, an important price level from which we’d normally hope to see some sort of bounce. It is certainly the case anything capable of propelling the price above Red at 485p currently should be significant, capable of triggering recovery to an initial 508p with secondary, if exceeded, at a longer term 591p. In fact, to be honest, we’d love to see the market discover a reason to gap this upward above Red as visually this will provide an almost confident picture for long term recovery.

Unfortunately, it would be unusual for the market to gap a price below such an obvious long term trend without strong reason and as a result, we fear for its future.

Now below 436p threatens to continue a cycle of misery, giving an immediate drop target down at 292p with our secondary, if broken, an eventual 261p. As we’re fond of Big Picture arguments, our suspicion is to watch for this reaching the 3 quid level as it’s be an ideal price from which to start serious recovery, ‘cos that’s where we suspect this Phoenix will find its little pile of ashes!

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.
