#GOLD #SP500 We were quite chuffed at coining a new term following an unpleasant side effect from the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine. “Turbo Flu” rather perfectly described an extremely unpleasant Tuesday night, where just about everything which could go wrong did! Of course, by 7am, there was a complete “what the heck was that?” recovery, along with feeling like a bit of a fraud, now feeling absolutely fine. The residual fly in the ointment had been consumption of around 4 litres of water during the night, meaning any attempt to sleep was punctuated by a need to rush to the loo. This was either my 9th or 10th treatment, and became the first which also provided an absolute kicking.
In the grand scheme of things, the vaccine drama’s probably look as chaotic as Gulf Keystones story since their share price experienced a 100/1 Split back in 2016, designed to make the market believe the price was now respectable… It clearly has not worked, thanks to nothing effectively happening for the last 9 years. Until the end of March, it was starting to look like GKP were perhaps about to do something useful but suddenly, almost as if the market noticed the potentials, the share price was reversed by 25% to firmly place it back in its box. It is certainly now the case the share needs CLOSE above 200p (blue) before we can accept the potential of a climb to an initial 276p with our secondary, if bettered, working out at a longer term game changing 340p, a price level which should take the share into position for future optimism.
We fear the share is about to experience further misery as below just 148p has the potential of triggering reversal down to an initial 124p with our secondary, if broken, down at 95p and a probable bottom, visually giving an ideal point from which to hope for a bounce. To escape this expectation, the share price needs close a session above 200p, an event which will utterly foul our reversal expectations.

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.
