#FTSE #Nasdaq For a long time, we’d thought Helium1 Global were “it” with regard supply of the gas to inflate the worlds shortfall. However, an email asking our opinion on on Helix disabused us of this notion, thankfully giving another player in the marketplace to keep an eye on. Thankfully, Helix operate in Montana, one of the nicer states in North America with truly useful ski resorts and extremely friendly people who generally don’t mistake a Scottish accent as being an Irish one. Perhaps it’s the Canadian influence from their northern border. From a geological viewpoint, the mountains in Montana don’t have the boring aspect as those in Colorado, where the mountain “just” look like big worn down hills while Montana offers proper spiky peaks. But on the downside, skiing requires proper cold weather gear as you’ll be wearing it at night, if going out.
Listed on the UK AIM market since April 2024, we’re understandably cautious with any optimism as the share price hasn’t yet followed the usual trajectory of a new listing. In the case of HEX, this is a broad anticipation a price which listed at 10p would peak at 28p, before again reversing to just above the listing level. To be fair, Hex has followed a pretty unusual path, so perhaps some hope can be available as it doesn’t need to turn cartwheels to enter a proper climbing cycle.
Something almost interesting has been happening with the share closing price since May of this year. The Red uptrend has adhered to our rules, yet by closing at 19.7p on Wed 28th Aug, it looks like the share price dunked against the trend but in reality, the trend is at 18.988p, creating a situation where the market may be quite careful with any negative signals produced. It is certainly now the case, where movement below 19p would cause an issue, allowing reversal to an initial 14.7p with our secondary, if broken, at 10.4p and hopefully a proper bounce.
However, if things intend go right for Hex, above 24.5p is needed to impress us as this risks triggering gains to an initial 27.9 with our longer term secondary, if bettered, at 33p and a desperate need for us to revisit the share price. For this one, our inclination is to keep an eye open for gains being triggered.

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.

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.
