Is Argo Blockchain sinking?

#Gold #WallSt_Futures This one has proven a surprise. When we last reviewed the share back in January this year, we’d given our usual two drop criteria. Our initial target was hit and broken, the secondary drop target remained untroubled with the share bouncing 11p above. Then the fairy story commenced with the share confidently triggering and exceeding all three of our growth target levels. We even used the technical term; ‘if things go nuts’ in describing the potentials.

Our third level target was given as 149p and we’ve even circled it on the chart below.

 

Something funny happened!

 

We’d a pretty solid reason to anticipate some hesitation at the 149p level. There are times when we warn folk to watch out for the market opting to gap a share price up and in this example, the reason for the warning is pretty evident.  On February 15th, when the market chose to neatly gap (manipulate) the share price above our target, sending a pretty strong indication plans for further upward price movement were intended. At that particular point in time, the highest number we could calculate was 149p, leaving us clueless as to the final destination. Eventually topping out at 332p, the price is now starting to make a degree of sense, doubtless due to the reality of enjoying a trading history.

Legend has it ‘Gaps’ in share price movements are generally covered with a share experiencing sharp reversals to the level of whatever manipulation gap is being chased. In the case of Argo, it was gapped UP from 143p in 15th Feb, the price neatly covering the gap with reversals on Monday 19 April. As a result, a bunch of folk are probably expecting a rebound from current levels, due to the ‘gap being filled’. Unfortunately, there is no requirement for these share price gaps to be covered and the harsh reality is, most of them are not.

But sometimes, if sufficient people believe a story, there can be a mass of buying pressure in the following session which in itself provokes a bounce. In the case of Argo, any bounce needs exceed 180p before we can take it seriously. Instead, we suspect some pain awaits for holders in the immediate future.

With traffic below 132p, we calculate the potential for reversal to an initial 120p. If broken, our secondary works out at 92p and hopefully a proper bounce. We can provide an ultimate drop level of 63p, this being the point we can no longer compute below. The visuals with 63p, given the level of previous lows indicate the potential for a proper bounce. We’re obviously far from happy discussing a scenario where the share price risks more than halving but the share has become dangerous. For the cautious, perhaps worth keeping a weather eye on it, just in case 63p makes a guest appearance in the weeks ahead.

 

We mentioned previously any bounce currently needs exceed 180p to be taken seriously. This will bring the share price back above Red on the chart, regaining the immediate uptrend. As a result, we can calculate an initial target of 222p with secondary, if exceeded, a more attractive sounding 259p. Once again, if the price “goes nuts”, we shall give a third target level and this time it’s at 337p.

It’s truly pleasing, knowing folk read this far down and still find time to view the adverts on the page. Definitely buys the coffee, so thanks yet again.

Hey, chart goes here

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.
