#Gold #Dax As a long time fan of “probiotic” products, unfortunately for all the wrong reasons, it came as a surprise to discover we were being asked to review a company whi actually make and market these products. A personal favourite, Actimel, is something my wife strongly approves of, believing a consume it for health reasons. The truth is rather different, due to Strawberry Actimel tasting just like the end sips of a McDonalds strawberry milkshake, if you’ve ever been lucky enough to catch an outlet with a working milkshake machine! The silly little Actimel cartons tick a box which wasn’t an issue, when weight also wasn’t an issue.
There was one other single surprise with Optibiotix, due to their corporate website refusing to load on the Opera browser. It worked fine with Chrome and Edge, but simply refused to admit its own existence within an Opera environment. Due to the built in VPN with Opera, it’s a browser we actually like due to it seamlessly moving past UK censorship attempts, avoiding the dreaded “Content is NOT available in your region” from various US and Canadian and even Irish publications. Oddly, this is a problem which rarely appears from European news sources, aside from an occasional hissy fit from some of the Spanish media.
Optibiotix brand themselves as a Life Sciences company, operating at the cutting edge of ‘biotechnological’ research, currently working in areas which include obesity, cholesterol, heart health, and diabetes and producing a quite bewildering range of products which are doubtless popular among the healthy eating fraternity. Personally, it can be admitted there’s a real attraction in trying the meal replacement shakes, just to see if reality lives up to the hype.
As for their share price, something interesting appears to be happening as the value has successfully moved through the downtrend(s) since 2018. By this, we mean it has exceeded the closing price trend, along with the more commonly used high of the day trend. As a result, some hope is certainly possible.
The immediate situation suggests movement exceeding 34.5p has the potential to provoke a lift to an initial 42.7p with our longer term secondary, if bettered, calculating at a future 55p and the possibility of some hesitation, due to previous price behaviour. Visually, there is also the “risk” closure above 55p shall prove game changing for the longer term, dropping the share price into a region which shows an astounding 128p as exerting a Big Picture attraction. We’d not suggest holding our breath for this but it’s certainly unusual to present a scenario which neatly meets the share price’s historic high.

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.

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.
