#FTSE #STOXX For us, Tuesday was to be a day for good news. For Tullow Oil, perhaps less so! Last weeks disaster with the Flu vaccine had caused some concern at “the unit”, the bunch of folk who monitor my bloodwork due to an unfortunate bout of an incurable but non fatal brand of leukaemia. Quite a protracted length of time was involved on Tuesday as they did tests which presumably involved more than dipping a strip of litmus paper in the red goo. Eventually, my smiley consultant (he always smiles) appeared, asking for a private natter…
Long story short, “the unit” feel I can come off daily chemotherapy and its associated side effects in 16 weeks time. This was seriously good news, offering the chance of life returning to what passes for normal for a few years until the illness next flares up. The prognosis is for a two year holiday but the real the hope is for anything up to 5 years before chemo is required again. And so, my wife and I went out for dinner, an escape from leukaemia treatment being more than welcome, even allowing us to consider planning a holiday sometime in 2026. Of course, with our preferences, the choice will probably be a dog friendly island somewhere in Argyll, one with a few restaurants, bars, and cafes. Or in plain English, the isle of Mull toward the end of May. Then again, we may sail the wonderful Caledonian Canal, always a bit of an adventure.
As for Tullow, our hope is the share price is exhibiting the final part of its death rattle downwards. The immediate situation now suggests below 8p risks a visit to 6.6p with our “longer term” secondary, if broken, coming along at an ultimate bottom just above 5.5p. To be fair, it would be ideal if the share price experienced a proper bounce at the 6.6p level as this would exhibit (finally) the potential of some hidden strengths.
However, there’s another major issue for the share price and we’ve painted it at 29p. Tullow Oil needs close a session above the 29p before we dare assign the word “recovery” to any price movements. Until such a point, it’s going to be difficult for any upward signals to be taken seriously.
If we pretend a positive stance, allegedly above 10.5p should trigger movement to an initial 14.5p. Our longer term secondary calculates at 20.7p, a country mile below our breakout level. But there is a good chance share price closure above 20.7p shall change the way the market regards Tullow.

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.
