#FTSE #Nasdaq We’ve now reached that dangerous time of the year, when some idiot will write “only 176 more days until Christmas” or something equally depressing, such as “the nights are getting longer”… In our case, it’s a reflection of how boring the markets have been for the last couple of months, trying to find something more interesting to write about! From a personal perspective, experiencing an utter failure of my brilliant idea of wearing a model dragonfly on each hat deserves some comment! The creatures called “Clegs” here in Argyll (horsefly everywhere else) come out during July and August. Boasting painful and swollen bites on my right hand, along with another on my left elbow – biting through a heavy country shirt, I can confirm the Cleg season has started, meaning my dog walks will now take place on the sea shore rather than alongside freshwater rivers. The things avoid salt water, unfortunately meaning we now must tolerate tourists on visits to the beaches.
When we last analysed Glencore share price, we finished our article with a paragraph which read as below;
In real life, Glencore share price dribbled down to a bottom of 205p on April 7th, closing the day at a less painful 230p, once again a victim of our final paragraph. This paragraph is where we relax and cover ourselves by pointing out the threats if everything goes wrong. Glencore joined a not very select group of shares who suffered from the curse of our throwaway comment.
We are understandably concerned at the share price moving below our 211 target and hitting 205 during the trading session on April 7th. However, some hope is being taken by the price closing in relatively safe territory, meaning we should look at “surprise” recovery prospects. But before we delve into this theory which projects gains, a glance at the immediate situation is suggested.
Below 205p now calculates with the potential of reversal down to an initial 182p with our secondary, if broken, at eventual bottom of 117p. It becomes very difficult to calculate below 117p at present, due to many target levels coming out with minus signs ahead of them.
However, there are some signals we generally associate with a bottom being attained already, so we’re more inclined to look for suggestions for share price gains.
Currently trading around 291p, Glencore needs to trade above 298p to hopefully trigger movements to an initial 324p with our longer term secondary, if beaten, at 363p and a challenge against the Red uptrend since 2020. In reality, we need closure above a future 355p to suggest impending movement of strength for the longer term. Essentially, closure above 355p should trigger a future argument which anticipates the potenial of a distant 509p as exerting an attraction. Surprisingly, the chart visuals strongly concur with such an optimistic hope.

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.
