#FTSE #SP500 A bunch of emails served to remind us of our previous report on Eurasia, almost a year ago. We wrote; “this has the potential to create a chart picture where the doomsayers shall sagely pronounce “double top”, anticipating another price crash and creating a self fulfilling prophecy for chatroom consumption.” and this is exactly what eventually happened. Even our next bit of tuppeny wisdom has also landed; “Share price closure around the initial target level of 5.1p is liable to present a game changing potential for the longer term.” And with the share price closing at 5.4p, it is now above a critical target level, thus explaining a flurry of emails.
It certainly appears as if the market has decided the 5.1p level is important for the share, the price currently oscillating above and below such a point, confirming it’s important. But with the bias of the dance favouring closure above 5.1p, our inclination is toward further recovery for the share price, rather than see it enjoy the usual “double top” mess with inevitable outcome. At present, we’d have some trouble, if the share price discovered a reason to wander below 4.1p as a cycle to 3.3p becomes arithmetically obvious. Our secondary, should such a level break, works out as a visit to 1.2p and the risk of prolonged time in share price prison.
It is worthwhile noting some fairly useful potentials exist for the future, needing the share price to stumble above 6.3p to hopefully trigger recovery to an initial 10.2p and some hesitation, if only due to the Closing Price downtrend since 2020. If bettered, our secondary calculates at a future 13.1p. along with the sound of many private investors having a bit of a party.

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.
