#Brent #Gold It’s always a bit of a puzzle, when the media suddenly switches to “Analysts rate XYZ as a buy”, generally at a point where a share price can be in a bigger nosedive than UK politics. When we reviewed DEC.L at the start of this year, we laid out criteria which would force us to re-evaluate the shares potentials and now, not only has it made it down to 940p but worse, emphatically closed below such a point.
With the share price spending the most recent 5 sessions waving a surrender flag, we’re certainly curious at the number of buy recommendations as visually, the only things visually capable of arresting the current price drop are the two trend lines on the chart below. Maybe the Blue line shall afford a halt to the drop, maybe it shall be the Red line. Or maybe neither will feature in traders thoughts and the share shall continue exploring the depths of misery/
At present, below 824 looks like it shall prove nasty. potentially able to trigger reversal to 746 next with our secondary, if broken, at 519p. We would certainly hope for a bounce before 519p makes an appearance, due to price movements below such a level having terrible implications.
On a brighter note, the visuals suggest it may be more likely to anticipate a bounce anytime soon, perhaps with an inevitable spike down to 824p before it actually happens. This is a fairly typical playbook event, the chart almost writing a clickbait headline telling folk to expect it. It is certainly the case movement above 960p would be regarded as the first tentative step toward recovery, suggesting a cycle toward 1253p with secondary, if beaten, at 1352p and once again, an urgent need for us to revisit our calculations!

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.
