Hurricane Energy, bites like a Midge

#Gold #SP500 A few things can be irritating about Scotland. Obviously, the Scots themselves can be a major irritant but for second place, we’re torn between Hurricane Energy and an insect called ‘The Midge’. The Midge, famed for enjoying the fastest wing speed on the entire planet, unfortunately tends to provide an abiding memory for visitors and unfortunately, this year looks like providing a vintage crop of the vile little sods.

As can be assumed, a usually enjoyable session with the little tractor turned into some sort of Hitchcock nightmare on Tuesday, clouds of the biting monsters ensuring playtime finished quickly with a lawn uncut and the heavy grass roller still in storage. This new toy, essentially an extremely heavy concrete sausage which attaches to the tractor with chains, promises additional excuses to slowly promenade outside while pretending to be engaged in serious work.

 

Unlike the Scottish Midge, people didn’t need visit Scotland to be stung by Hurricane Energy, an explorer focussed on the seas around Scotland!

For some time, the share has been trading at levels where we cannot calculate an ultimate bottom. Once the price opted to drill below 11p in March 2020, we’ve been floundering thanks to a lack of “ultimate bottom” target levels. However, in the last week, the share price has managed to enact some interesting movements making us wonder if something important is about to happen. To be honest, we shall not be surprised if the ploy of a ‘share split’ is enacted, perhaps a 50:1 sleight of hand to pretend the share price is back trading at levels last seen in 2018 and 2019. Alas, the harsh reality with these games is an outcome where share prices again face a few years of being slaughtered by an unsympathetic market, the main losers being private investors.

Obviously, we’ve absolutely NO inside knowledge suggesting this sort of thing is coming, just a painfully familiar feeling. When a share remains trading despite the price being arithmetically miles below our “ultimate bottom” of 11p, we tend suspect some financial gymnastics are coming. Less likely (but it happens) is a flow of good news, capable of changing company fortunes.

 

However, if we chose to search for reasonable trigger levels, it appears Hurricane Energy needs trade above just 1.75p to give early warning for some reasonable movement. According to our software, movement above 1.75p should lead to a completely boring 2.25p. Only if the share price discovers a reason to explore above 2.25p do things become really interesting as recovery to an initial 3.5p calculates as possible.

If 3.5p is exceeded, our secondary works out at 4.4p and visually, it even makes some sense. In a conventional world, should such a level make an appearance, we shall need examine price movements and “run the numbers” again, thanks to some pretty illogical recovery levels making themselves known.

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.

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.
