#Gold #DOW We’d very mixed feelings in 2023, when a political “Leave Russia” project kicked off, campaigning against companies such as Convatec who remained active in Russia despite events in Ukraine. When a company who lists among their activities in being a market leader in Advanced Wound Care, a political campaign to remove them didn’t sit well. From a personal perspective with a parent who’d been active in the International Red Cross, politically driven complaints about medical activity during conflicts didn’t sit well.
Member of the FTSE 100, Convatec share price made a sufficient twitch to elicit a bunch of emails asking our opinion on what’s coming next?
We’re a bit suspicious, due to the dangers of peace breaking out in various areas of the world which shall obviously risk the profitability of Convatec! However, the stock market opted to “gap” the share price up above the Blue downtrend from a year ago, giving considerable hope some good times can be anticipated in the near future. Should we choose to be a little cynical, we’ll not be surprised if the share price experiences near term movement above 270p, triggering a jump upward to 280, quite possibly a little higher.
Should the market follow the usual plotline, a lunge to even 290p can be expected but invariably the price shall experience some relaxation, despite intraday flamboyance actually closing the session below our initial target of 280. But closure above 280p has the potential to trigger a power movement to 311p in the future. This could prove significant, especially as we’re two quite different arguments favouring a future attraction as coming from a confident 356p.
If things intend go wrong, the price needs wander below 236 to make trouble, allowing us to project the danger of a drop down to a confident looking 296p as a hopeful bottom. If broken, our less likely secondary works out at 174p.
This is one where we suspect a convoluted upward cycle is expected.

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.
