Why are fuel prices so high? Nearly £2 a litre makes little sense as Crude Oil was at this price level from 2008 through to 2014. VAT & Fuel Duty were roughly at current levels too! One might even wonder if the oil companies are indulging in a little profiteering to make up for the lean years of the pandemic? But if that’s the case, why are oiler share prices still dodgy?
Shell Plc (LSE:SHEL)
With the price of fuel, along with reports of record profit levels, we’d expect Shell to be enjoying a share price which is soaring to new levels. Unfortunately, this appears not to be the case, quite the opposite. We’re fond of treating the pre-pandemic price level for shares as a benchmark, requiring prices to solidly exceed a value before Covid-19 hit everything. In the case of Shell Plc, their share price matched the pre-pandemic level, even exceeded it slightly, and now appears destined to experience some reversals.
At least people are returning to their offices, so they can work harder to afford the extra cost of fuel to return to their offices… Things appear to be messy from virtually any perspective.
Currently for Shell, price movement below 2255p risks triggering near term reversal to a pretty tame sounding 2191p. The share price level, pre-pandemic, was around 2300p, so this scenario isn’t particularly nasty. The danger comes, should Shell manage to close a session below 2191p, as further reversal to our secondary of 1983p calculates as possible.
As the chart below highlights, this is a big issue, returning Shells share price below the Blue downtrend and placing it in a region where an eventual return to the £12 level calculates as possible. Unfortunately, such a mess also makes a lot of visual sense.
We’ve given quite a lot of doom and gloom against this share price. Please remember, we’re indulging in “worst case scenario”, especially as the share price needs close a session below 2191p to tick the first box.
Wall St (Dowi:DJI) When we reviewed Wall St a month ago, our thoughts about a target level of 30,000 points where relegated to the final paragraph. To employ a technical term, Oops! The index has managed to shed 2,000 points and is virtually at our initial drop target. Things have gotten really messy with the US index and if the market fails to bounce above 30,100 points, it could easily continue a slide down to 29,500. Our secondary, if such a level breaks, calculates down at 28,000 points, a price level where a bounce is “almost” mandatory.
Currently, Wall St needs astounding movement above 33,700 points, just to confirm a serious escape attempt from the current spiral of misery.

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.
