#FTSE #WallSt For us, increasingly it appears everything revolves around price levels before the Covid-19 drop last year. If a price has recovered above this level, we tend toward enthusiasm, due to a price moving from ‘recovery’ into ‘growth’. For instance, with the #Stoxx50, the index level was roughly 3,900 before the pandemic hit the fan and now, it’s trading around 4,085 points. In this instance, we’re happy and able to speculate on a surprising future for the European index.
The immediate future is pretty amazing, needing above just 4,102 points to confirm a cycle toward an initial 4,178 points. If exceeded, our longer term secondary calculates at 4,405 points. We’ve quite a strong cluster of arguments pointing at the 4,400 level as a viable ambition. Not least is the impression from the chart below as, in addition to arithmetic, there’s a strong visual indication some hesitation can be anticipated, should the index make it up the mountain to challenge a high not seen since 2007.
If exceeded, there’s an even longer term influence from 4,817 points, allegedly painting the potential of a new all time high. For it all to go pear shaped, the European index needs reverse below Blue on the chart, presently around 3,800 points.
Petrofac, and as mentioned above, we ration our enthusiasm until such point a price is trading above its pre-pandemic level. In the case of Petrofac, describing themselves as; “Petrofac is a leading international service provider to the energy industry, with a diverse client portfolio including many of the world’s leading energy companies.”, their share price prior to the Covid-19 drop was 373p. At time of writing, the company is trading around 139p, substantially below the level achieved on the initial pandemic drop. We’re actually fairly impressed the share price has carefully avoided closing below 90p as there were many reasons to hope for a rebound at such a level.
Currently, with oil prices rising and lockdown easing, surely increased activity in the oil sector shall rub off on Petrofac. If we’re strict, we can establish 145p as a potential trigger level, exceeding this should propel the share price to a stunning 150p. Okay, perhaps not very impressive but in the event 150p is bettered, Bigger Picture forces should start influencing the share price properly, provoking recovery toward an initial 182p. The Big Picture is slightly vague as to our secondary price growth target, if this level is successfully challenged. The share price could either head toward a longer term 255p or, more probably, an attempt at pre-pandemic levels which works out at 375p.
Petrofac needs reverse below 90p to cause utter panic for the company share price future. For now, we suspect it shall prove worth watching.

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.
