#Gold #WallSt The last “Parked for Pandemic” cruise ship sailed past, the other day. Immediately, we suspected it was Scotlands leading political trougher, Nicola Sturgeon, exploiting a new method of escaping difficult questions, making her way to a country without an extradition treaty. Lacking drama, the real answer is an upturn in demand for cruise liners, causing all the parked ships to leave the River Clyde.
Logically, as the white behemoth sailed out to sea, probably hoping to never, ever, return to its moorings near Glasgow, a place where extremes of weather have always been a proud local joke. An amusing aspect of where the liners were moored came from the local maternity hospital, the windows giving countless new mothers the opportunity to take “selfies” with 4 large cruise ships parked literally behind them.
Cruise ship company Carnival Plc had been experiencing a severe share price decline, even prior to Covid sticking the boot in at the start of 2020, and we’re understandably curious as to whether the worst is over. Perhaps the public shall once again revel at the chance of being isolated in a giant petri dish, again at the mercy of whatever causes the next health panic for the world. The immediate situation for Carnival share price demands it close a session above roughly 749.311p currently, exceeding Blue on the chart and taking a voyage into the realms of discovery. In such a scenario, we can calculate an initial target for the share price at 868p with secondary, if bettered, working out at a longer term 1075p.
Noticeably absent from this prediction is an expectation of a return to the wonderful heights above 35 quid before the pandemic hit and it’s a bit of a nuisance, feeling like an excess of patience shall be required. Currently, the best we can give is of closure above Blue on the chart theoretically allowing a distant 1315p to become a sensible future potential.
Perhaps the company shall start issuing extremely positive results to the market, something which appears doubtful due to the plethora of adverts for heavily discounted cruise ship cabins. However, the last ship has sailed from the River Clyde in Glasgow, so perhaps this means something.

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.
