Is Barclays boring and what about Tesco?

#Brent #Dax We have to concede, writing about each of the big three retail banks, once every three weeks, has become a tad repetitive. So, to give folk a slight break, this weeks coverage of Barclays can consist of a single sentence. If it goes below 174, we expect an initial visit to 167 with secondary, if broken, at a bottom of 155p. Now for Tesco!

Hey, chart goes here

Trends and Targets. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

 

Tesco are rather more interesting than Barclays, their share price actually making some real movements. When we reviewed the share back in April, we speculated on a future which involved 242p initially with secondary, 259p. More importantly, with closure above 242p, we could dream of a future which encompassed a visit to 295p eventually. Amazingly, we’d shown a chart with a target of 259p and the high eventually attained last week was 259.6, then the price reversed slightly. Visually there are plenty of reasons to embrace hope for the future, despite a plethora of media headlines warning of food shortages due to Brexit and work-shy lorry drivers. But as the UK Govt has announced we can expect supermarket shelves being full for Xmas, there’s clearly nothing to worry about…

Hopefully, supermarkets shall not be “full” of the familiar space filler, Chicken & Mushroom Pot Noodle containers. Perhaps a festive twist, giving Turkey & Mushroom flavouring would prove effective.

On the basis Tesco manage to discover how to stock their shops, the pandemic also opting not to revisit the country in winter fatality mode, it’d be churlish not to admit there’s a feeling of ‘back to normal’ nervously prowling the country. Whether we ever return to previous norms is obviously open to question. Many folk appear delighted to remain working from home. A chum, a Cisco corporate support guy, used Lockdown to recreate his entire support office in a spare bedroom. Quite literally, he has full access to their phone systems, video net, call centres, and servers, as his spare bedroom now is a secure node on their network. He’s not intending return to the office more than a couple of days a week.

For Tesco, should the share next manage to trade above 260p, a further growth cycle to an initial 268p with secondary, if exceeded, now working out at 291p calculates as possible. The share price has been nervously flirting with the pre-pandemic highs but there are plenty of reasons to hope for future price positivity.

Even if it all intends go wrong, the immediate situation threatens weakness below 248p leading down to an initial 240p. If broken, our secondary works out at 225p, signaling an unhealthy interest in the Blue downtrend which dates back to 2010. We would anticipate a rebound in the unlikely event such a target level appears.

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.
