#FTSE_Futures FTSE:UKX January has certainly proved interesting, the UK market experiencing an unheard of 350 point range. Unheard of, unless you take the time to examine 2021 when this was matched 6 times! Numerically, it wasn’t such a big deal but despite media behaving like a circle of feral school kids yelling “fight, fight” over the Russia thing, the FTSE felt quite vibrant.

We believe this a positive attitude relates to the UK index finally exceeding Blue on the chart, along with finally bettering the high pre-Covid, as both signals tended boost other markets worldwide, when they exceeded these levels in 2020 and 2021. It’s already the case the Russia reversal of just a week ago has corrected, the market feeling like “oops, we over-reacted”, giving an interesting suggestion we should anticipate 8121 points as the level at which we should next anticipate real FTSE volatility.

 

From a near term perspective, it appears above 7598 points should next make an attempt at 7638 next with secondary, if bettered, at 7700 points. If triggered, the tightest stop is apparently quite wide at 7540 points.

Our alternate reversal scenario requires the UK to stumble below 7492 points. Such a triggering event risks reversals to 7452 with secondary, if broken, at 7402 points. At present, the FTSE needs break below Blue (7370 points) to justify hysterics as some quite nasty reversals could be anticipated thereafter. Visually, it appears unlikely.

 

Have a good weekend. 52 days until the next Grand Prix…

*** End of “Updated Today” comments on shares.

#Brent #WallSt With the Scottish Government recently selling off seabed rights for windfarms, accepting the international equivalent of some coloured beads and mirror fragments in payment, we were inevitably reminded of another Scot, Gordon Brown, famously selling the UK’s Gold Reserves at the bottom of the gold market. However, a look at Vestas, industry leader in turbine manufacture was warranted as it appears another market is about to open for them.

In addition, it’s blooming windy here in Argyll tonight with gusts above 50mph, justifying nervous looks at a dead oak tree in the garden.

Danish company, Vestas Wind Systems, look like a difficult share to buy, despite being listed on Spread Bet platforms and traded on the Nasdaq Copenhagen. Our review of their share price is in Danish Krone with the current exchange rate roughly at 1 Krone equalling 11p .

 

Our enthusiasm for a potential supplier to the lucky recipients of Scottish seabed has been somewhat tempered by a glance at their share price history for the6 months. The price has been pretty static, the company complained at raw material costs, along with the inevitable supply chain delays, an issue which seems far wider than just the UK with its self inflicted Brexit problems. As the chart shows, the price is currently exploring new lows BUT there’s a reasonable chance it has finally bottomed. We’d a calculation giving 158p as a potential ultimate bottom and with the share hitting 159.5 on Tuesday 26th, we suspect a bounce should prove sustainable.

The immediate downtrend requires the share price to exceed 183.5 to indicate some upward travel is coming. In such a scenario, we anticipate movement to an initial 190 with secondary, if bettered, at 204 and some potential hesitation. It may prove important to remember closure above 190 DKK takes the share into a region where we calculate a longer term 239 as being possible.

Hopefully Vestas shall prove worthy of watching. The share price needs below 158 to justify severe concerns as we cannot calculate lower.

*** End of “Updated Today” comments on shares.

#CAC40 #SP500 Like everyone, we’re keeping a weather eye on shares which should recover, once pandemic damage recedes. Obviously, aviation, holidays, and public travel must be thought of as useful potentials and it’d be true to say many are showing early signs of ‘something’, hopefully  recovering from a bottom but miles away from their pre-pandemic level. Trainline, on the other hand’ still appear to be researching where the price shall actually stop travelling down!

The company low in the pandemic party month of March 2020 (ask Boris), was a closing price of 202p. Currently around 223p, the share is at its lowest since the initial pandemic crash. This inability to find a bottom is obviously an issue, perhaps a reflection of diminished numbers of commuters, perhaps a reflection of the UK’s predatory train ticket pricing. A glance at Google News failed to uncover any immediately obvious reasons for the share price decline, so perhaps this shall be worth some deeper research from anyone trying to buy a “cheap” share.

 

The share price is currently at a level where it “might” bounce but we’re not entirely sold on the idea. Instead, there’s a reasonable chance near term movement below 214p may reach 199p and hopefully, this drop ambition shall prove sufficient to declare itself as a bottom. The big picture is rather less comfortable thanks to a seriously unpleasant detail. When the price broke below Red on the chart, it entered an Big Picture arena where we can calculate an ultimate bottom of -34p. Obviously such a number is impossible but unfortunately, its existence tends give our software hysterics as recovery from near term drop targets will often prove less than enthusiastic.

Our inclination is to simply hope 199p provides a buffer opportunity for The Trainline as weakness below calculates with an initial 164p with secondary 113p, a level from which it almost must rebound. For this reason alone, it’s perhaps worth keeping an eye on.

Presently, Trainline requires exceed Blue (273 at time of writing) before any recovery dare be taken seriously. A movement such as this takes the price into an area where an initial 311p is expected with secondary, if bettered, a longer term visit to 344p and some pretty confident looking hesitation.

*** End of “Updated Today” comments on shares.

#Gold #FTSE There were a couple of standout performers on Monday 24 January, a day which was pretty foul thanks to Russia/Ukraine speculation. At one point, the cynic within wondered if Vodafone were doing well, due to the prospect of enhanced roaming charges due to various country military jumping around Europe. The cause of the share price movement proved fairly boring in comparison, essentially Merger & Acquisition speculation.

The share price closed the session up by 4.5% at 122.86p and appears ready to attempt further movement. Ongoing travel above just 126p now looks capable of gains to an initial 131p with secondary, if exceeded, a more interesting 140p eventually. Glancing at the chart, the visuals imply hesitation can be anticipated at our 140p level as this has presented itself as a glass ceiling level since 2020. The turmoil in the markets, of course, may intrude but given the behaviour of the futures markets on Monday evening, we think the FTSE should experience some recovery near term, hopefully creating an environment where Vodafone can continue to experience some share price recovery.

 

It’s worth noting Vodafone share price has remained firmly below the pre-pandemic high of 155p. While true excitement must be restrained until such a level is exceeded, doubtless along with world peace, Covid eradication, and the UK leadership opting to stop their party’s in Downing St, we’d be inclined to regard closure above the 140p Glass Ceiling as being potentially game changing for Vodafone. The strength of reversals since 2018 has created an environment where sharp price recovery to 220p calculates as possible.

Vodafone share price requires below 108p to force us to re-examine its potentials.  Visually we’re fairly optimistic.

As for Unilever, this experienced an incredible Monday, somehow managing to catapult itself above the Red uptrend. As a result, ongoing traffic above 4055p has the potential of recovery to an initial 4415p with secondary, if bettered, a more pleasing 4910p.

*** End of “Updated Today” comments on shares.

#Brent #Dax The final week of January always tends prove quite traumatic. Historically, we’d felt it was either the Economic Forum in Davos (May this year) or the proximity of the Chinese New Year (1st Feb). On occasion, China has made some sort of announcement which impacts negatively on the world, then closes its own stock market for the New Year holiday in the hope the dust settles for their return.

But this year, the trauma has started a few days early and lots of commentators are running around in ‘headless chicken’ mode, predicting the worst for the markets. We’re not entirely convinced, despite some traumatic reversals on Friday.

Did anyone notice FTSE Futures closed the week at 7,421 points at 9pm on Friday? This was exactly the level we’d proposed a bounce from in our ‘FTSE for FRIDAY’ article. Unfortunately, we’re no longer quite as confident, thanks to FTSE Futures opening for the coming week, gapped down by a further 15 points. This provokes some suspicion the reversals may not be quite finished yet but when we review shares, a heck of a lot of them are running out of steam for drops, instead approaching levels where some bounces can be hoped.

 

Natwest are in such a position, the immediate picture suggesting weakness below 237p risks near term weakness down to an initial 234p with secondary, if broken, at 231p and hopefully a real bounce. Things certainly risk becoming problematic with any break below 231p as our next best hope is loitering at 215p, matching the level of the trendbreak through Blue, a line which dates back 15 years in time. For now, we remain optimistic thanks to Natwest share price doing many of the right things. Overall, despite near terms downs and ups, the share is trading in a region where 261p shows as the next major point of interest in a path which leads to 330p hopefully.

The bank needs reverse below 215p to promote a bout of navel gazing as the consequences could become pretty unpleasant, destroying our calculations for 330p and instead ticking the first box in a cycle which could end at 160p. Visually, none of this makes any sense currently but we must remember, Natwest are a retail bank and very little about retail bank share movements made sense until very recently.

*** End of “Updated Today” comments on shares.

#FTSE #WallSt Just as we’d started to feel the markets were growing immune to politics, the current US President managed to spend Thursday destabilising them with his comments on Ukraine. Until now, we’d felt the Ukraine thing was ‘just’ an excuse to ensure Russia earned higher income from gas sales during winter. Now, we’re less confident and the futures markets appear to share our fears.

At time of writing, Wall St futures are trading around 34,686, having achieved an after hours low of 34,525. What bothers us with this behaviour is fairly simple. The Dow Jones had experienced a pretty solid uptrend since the pandemic low in 2020. That uptrend has now broken pretty conclusively, creating a situation where traffic continuing below 34,525 risks marching down to 33,771 next with secondary, if broken, at 32,624 eventually, hopefully with a proper bounce. Wall St requires exceed 35,285 points (Red on the chart) to make a nonsense of these reversal potentials.

As for the FTSE for Friday, a peculiar calculation demands the UK index exceed 7,634 points to extract itself from a zone where some reversal is probable. This week has proven quite strange, the FTSE ‘wanting’ to go up but clearly being restrained by external events. Friday should prove interesting, especially as the FTSE has (so far) been relatively immune to the stock market drama’s being enacted in Europe and the USA. However, with FTSE Futures presently trading around 7,515 points, a massive 65 points below the level (7,580) at which the market closed Thursday, common sense alone suggests the UK market faces a bit of a hammering on Friday.

We shall not be aghast, if the FTSE is gapped down in the opening second, perhaps to around 7,526 points. Things risk becoming quite fragrant with any movement below such as we can calculate an initial tame sounding ambition at 7,503 points. Below 7,503 risks knocking on the gates of trouble as we can calculate a secondary and hopeful bounce level at 7,421 points.

 

We shall not embrace our inner optimist unless the UK somehow scrambles above 7,588 points. In theory, this should trigger gains to 7,609 with secondary, if exceeded at 7,628 points. We suspect we wasted our time, running these recovery calculations. Some solace can be taken from the detail no immediate calculations are presenting the threat of reversals below Blue (7,370) on the chart. From a FTSE perspective, returning below this longer term downtrend would be “a bad thing”

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.

*** End of “Updated Today” comments on shares.

#Gold #Nasdaq Our weekly plunge into Europe to search for something interesting has highlighted a company called #Muehlhan. A service company primarily active in Wind, Oil, Marine, & Construction, they’ve been going for 140 years, active worldwide, and of course we’d never heard of them. The corporate website “talks a good game” but we’re more interested in their share price potentials.

Presently trading around 3.7€, share price movements over the last 14 years are finally becoming interesting, suggesting the share intends move upward into a new trading range. Initially, the eye is drawn to its historic trading range and it looks very like there was a glass ceiling present around the 3.3€ level. Significantly also, the share price is now trading above its pre-Covid high and there’s a vague suggestion the price need only exceed the downtrend since 2007 to finally make an upward surge.

At present, the share price needs exceed just 3.91€ to suggest it’s ready to commit higher. Obviously such a movement shall exceed the dubious downtrend since 2007, perhaps proving sufficient to convince the market something major is about to happen. Growth such as this looks capable of triggering a visit to an initial 4.74€ with secondary, if bettered, an almost certain 5.11€. We’re able to calculate a 3rd target ambition at 5.74 but suspect this shall require closure above 5.11 before it may become a reality.

 

For things to go horribly wrong, the price needs below 3€ to justify raised eyebrows, risking a visit to 2.5 initially. If broken, our secondary works out at 1.90 and utterly destroys any optimism for the price to explore new highs. Currently, for those folk who still pay attention to Europe, we suspect this one shall prove worth watching.
