#Brent #Dax April ended, quite fittingly, with a couple of massive practical jokes. The Grand Prix race in Baku proved astounding, a classic example of how not to make sport interesting,  producing a boring procession of cars which lasted for 90 minutes. More subtle was the theft of the coronation stone from Scotland, something apparently essential for a new monarch.

The Stone of Scone, previously forcibly repatriated from England in 1950, was collected by the usual retinue of courtiers, the sandstone brick carried with similar ceremony and dignity to that afforded to the Ark of the Covenant in Indiana Jones.

 

As usual, there wasn’t a great fuss at the stone once again being stolen, probably due to what’s become an open secret in Scotland.

 

Firstly, when it was repatriated in 1950, a duplicate was immediately manufactured, sandstone being an easy material to work with. When the authorities once again opted to steal the stone and take it south to Westminster Abbey, they snaffled a decoy stone placed at Arbroath Abbey with the location leaked to the police. The duplicate stone had been manufactured by a small business, better known for their gravestones.

Unusually, even while Prince Charles may be happy sitting on top of a rock which was once destined to decorate a grave, the real and original Stone of Scone was quite different and remains missing. It was jet black, slightly magnetic, and described as having fallen from the sky, a perfect description for a large meteor, the sort of thing royalty would attach some importance to.

 

 

Rather neatly, this brings us to Barclays, something which pretends to be a bank share yet often feels like something quite different. When we reviewed Barclays three weeks ago, we’d given criteria for an initial rise to 163p. The share price, quite grudgingly, took until the very end of April before hitting our target level on the final day of the month. We were not amused, especially as the price didn’t exceed our 163p target, the rise fading out in the opening minutes of Friday just 26/100th of a penny below our target level. The pace of the price rise, since April 11th, was spitefully similar to the Baku F1 “race”.

 

The situation now is almost encouraging as above 163p should next trigger price recovery to an initial 176p with our secondary, if the initial is exceeded, now calculating up at 186p. Each one of these ambitions is liable to prove game changing, finally. Once again, Barclays share price would discover itself loitering above the Blue downtrend on the chart, a line which dates back to 2007. Movement such as this should prove significant to the long term, making a future calculation of 292p a surprisingly viable hope.

 

Our alternate disaster scenario requires Barclays to slither below 140p, risking a trigger movement to provoke reversal to an initial 121p with secondary, if broken, at 97p and hopefully a bounce.

#FTSE #WallSt Holiday Mondays often sneak up on us and two, in quick succession, feels very strange. Doubtless, each are going to create havoc with the markets, thanks to neither being international events. The USA and Europe will cheerfully keep trading, ignoring the empty seat at the table of international markets and by 7th May, the FTSE will be playing catch-up in a major fashion.

This week has proven especially limp, the FTSE experiencing death by a million papercuts as it fails to make any form of real headway, despite, from almost every perspective, the market residing in a price zone where we’re now painting 8254 as a Big Picture ambition for some point this year, the index requiring below 7600 to make a nonsense of the target level.

 

 

Currently, the FTSE needs weaken below 7816 points to suggest another painful doze of the recent lethargy poisoning the index, providing an initial lame drop target of 7805 with secondary, if broken, down at 7712 points. Perhaps it was the case Thursdays low of 7816 was actually an indication of strength as the index enjoyed a little bounce!

 

The market closed the session on Thursday at 7830 but unfortunately, our arithmetic demanded the index move above 7844 to tick the first box in any argument which would make a bounce “genuine!”.

 

If things intend take a happy pill, very possible due to it being a Grand Prix weekend, above 7844 calculates with the potential of a lift toward another tame target of 7861 points near term. If bettered, our secondary works out at 7892 points. However, do remember Friday 28th is the end of the month, a day on which logic is usually carefully placed aside, where everyone can trip over it.

As mentioned earlier, we still suspect some market gains are in the offing, hopefully to become visible next week.

 

Have a good weekend. For us, the situation is less certain as grand-daughters are visiting again.

#Brent #US500 Our weekly trawl of Europe, searching for anything “hot” threw up Heidelberg, absolutely nothing to do with the US beer manufacturer, instead, taking their name from our favourite university town in Europe. Born 170 years ago in the place where the printing press was perfected, it wasn’t a surprise to read many of their original printing machines remain in service to this day, despite the model manufacture ceasing in 1985.

Nowadays, Heidelberger appear to be involved in every aspect and stage of printing, even choosing to expand their horizons into offering charging stations for electric vehicles. This appears a strange sideways step for a company who are literally synonymous with the printing industry but they claim their experience in power electronics enabled their establishment as a leading provider of charging systems.

 

 

None of this positive bias toward a town actually justified a look at their share price. Instead, price movements during the last few weeks make us suspect a change of pace is planned for this share price. At time of writing, they are trading around 1.71€, needing only above 1.735 to hopefully trigger a surge in the direction of 1.91€.

Our longer term secondary, with movement above such a level, calculates at a future 2.1€, a potentially game changing number as it breaks the share price above a visual barrier at 2€, something the market appears to have invented. It’s quite a big deal, allowing speculation the share price will find itself on a path toward a future 2.9€, along with an urgent need to revisit our calculations.

 

If things intend going wrong, the share price needs break below Red, presently 1.5 Euro, as this risks pushing reversal down to an initial 1.2 with secondary, if broken, an eventual bottom (hopefully) at 0.89€. For now, our inclination is to anticipate gains for their future.

#FTSE #Stoxx50 We’re probably far from the target demographic for Technology Minerals as events of the last weekend proved. Our little red tractor decided, out of the blue, to stop starting. It’s only crime, a flat battery, one which refused to energise despite being connected to a charger for two days. It’s a specialised battery, designed to fit its own area. Sometimes, it feels like the entire engine bay was designed around the place the battery fits!

A replacement battery wasn’t available locally or, anywhere close on the mainland. Getting one despatched by courier appeared to be an option, one which came with a 40 day wait along with a seriously frightening postage cost. Eventually came the realisation a conventional battery could be fitted in the storage box under the seat, simply requiring a new thick red wire routed forward to the engine bay but while on YouTube reviewing how other folk did this job, a video appeared on the right hand column called “New Life from Sealed Batteries!” The tractor battery is one of these sealed things, designed to avoid acid spilling due to some of the stupid (and dangerous) angles a tractor can find itself at. Cutting a long story short, the top of the battery was eventually unglued, each cell washed out with hot water, and drained, and eventually a trip to a friendly workshop had the thing topped up with battery fluid. Once the top was again glued in place, the little tractor started immediately.

Technology Minerals Plc are interesting, describing themselves as establishing a circular economy for battery metals within one group. They’re aiming to extract the raw materials and also become involved in recycling spent batteries, producing the metals for reuse by battery manufacturers. From reading their website, the prospects all look quite exciting for the future, their chairman being Robin Brundle, brother of sports commentator and ex-F1 driver Martin Brundle.

 

For a considerable time, the share price had an ultimate bottom of just 0.6p, a fate it managed to avoid by bouncing from the 0.8 level. Recently, it has made some movements which indicate it intends experience some recovery and the immediate situation suggests price movements above 2.75p should challenge an initial 3.16p next. In the event this ambition is bettered, things become rather more interesting as there’s very little impediment to stop a further lunge in the direction of 3.9p.

We’re always pretty optimistic, when the market chooses to gap (circled) a share price above an obvious downtrend, the implication being “this trend doesn’t matter anymore”. Two reasonable gaps during April suggest the market has plans for this share price, so perhaps worth keeping an eye on. We’ve shown some longer term potentials which, at present, are purely speculation as our initial growth cycle needs come to fruition before any degree of reality may be assigned to the 6p level.

#Gold #SP500 We suspect some of the original Prudential DNA remains embedded with M&G Plc (Municipal & General Securities Co), despite them demerging in 2019. If jumping out of bed and checking the markets at the open is your thing, neither Prudential nor M&G ever appear to justify a quick glance, each enjoying price movements which always seem to take an age to occur.

Perhaps some of this lethargy dates back to 1931, when M&G held shares in 24 companies, a fixed portfolio which had a fixed lifespan of 20 years. Nowadays, their share price is a little more flamboyant, currently trading around 202p and achieving a bandwidth of 70p of movement, 35p up and 35p down since August 2021. There are early signs a change of pace may be in the offing, the share price needing to CLOSE a session above 207p and ideally triggering a breakout from this sleepy behaviour.

Closure above 207p should hopefully trigger gains to an initial 228 and a challenge of the immediate Blue downtrend. In the event 228 is exceeded, hopefully we shall witness ongoing traffic toward 252p and the hope of a significant change of pace for the longer term. Visually, there has been a pretty obvious glass ceiling at such a level for years and, on the basis of ‘3rd time lucky’, it’s entirely possible a run up to an amazing looking 320p may commence. Goodness knows how long it may take!

 

If everything intends go wrong, the share price needs trade below 175p (Red) to risk promoting low level hysterics, calculating with the potential of reversals to an initial 140p with secondary, if broken, an eventual bottom down at 94p.

#Brent #SP500 Understanding if a trend line is important can often be the most important facet of trading. After all, everyone wants’ a better clue as to the direction a price or market is heading in an attempt to escape the feeling you get, when stuck behind a BMW saloon at a junction. And why is it always saloon variants, not BMW SUV’s or estates,  which don’t use indicators?

Natwest has a Blue downtrend, one which dates back to February 2015 and usually, with this years chaotic banking share movements, our inclination would be to dismiss the trend as irrelevant. However share price movements with Natwest in the last few weeks give a justifiable reason to avoid rushing into any quick decision. The two chart extracts below show, hopefully quite clearly, why we’re opting to take such a stance. Last month (March), Natwest share price tumbled below this particular trend line, rather neatly hitting out target “bottom” of 238p and bouncing a bit. The ricochet stopped and closed the next session at 272p, literally exactly at the level of this 8 year old trend. For whatever reason, the market ensured the share failed to close above the trend but on April 12th, it appears the share price gremlins had a change of heart, opting to gap the price above the historic Blue downtrend and in the sessions since, ensured the trend line remained inviolate.

It begs the pretty obvious question, does the market intend for Natwest to now gain in value, the price being carefully maintained above Blue for the most recent seven sessions?

Should this prove to be the case, we can calculate the next port in Natwest’s storm is at 307p as there are several indications the market wishes Natwest to head upward!

In the event our 307 level is exceeded, our secondary works out at 351p sometime in the future. This would prove to be an important, almost game changing, move for the share price as it’d find itself solidly above many of the highs since 2015, allowing an overdose of optimism to make itself felt.

However, we always attempt to prove a converse argument, as reminded by a clown driving a BMW i8 today. His indicators had obviously failed, everyone (including the ambulance overtaking) surprised at his sharp right turn to take the scenic route along the sea shore here in our bit of Argyll. For the market to emulate this sort of move, Natwest needs close below Blue, presently 270p, as this risks promoting a route down to 235 with secondary, if broken, at an eventual 205p and hopefully yet another bounce.

#FTSE_Futures  Perhaps it’s the good weather but, it’s easy to be fairly optimistic about the potentials for the FTSE, near term.  Despite this week being extremely boring on the FTSE, presenting a market with a ridiculous 45 point trading range, our inclination is toward hope, ‘cos the sun is shining and there’s another thing about movements worthy of mention.

Generally speaking, when a share/commodity/index decides to have a relative flatline, it means something. When the flatline occurs as part of a drop cycle, we expect the final drop shall occur and take the stance of it just being a matter of time. Equally – and hopefully the case with the FTSE – when this sort of flatline behaviour takes place as part of a gain cycle, the converse is inevitably true with a surge to the next level almost inevitable.

We should mention the markets often keep an unpleasant movement in their bag of torture implements.

 

If the flatline (or glass ceiling) has been present for an extended period, a sharp price spike in the opposite direction to that expected is perfectly normal. Quite cynically, we often wonder if this is an attempt to collect stop losses or worse, trigger orders. After all, if the FTSE is indeed about to “suffer” some further upward movement, wouldn’t it be a thrilling wheeze to spike the index downward at the open, doubtless just below 7870 points to trigger a bunch of automated short positions. This is why we always warn of the dangers of opening second spikes as a price invariably will toddle away during the session in exactly the different direction from the spike.

It’s easy to imaging a bunch of smart traders placing a fire & forget order to short the FTSE, if it goes below the 7870 points from Mondays open. And if such a calamity occurred at the very open of the day anytime soon, we’d be pretty comfortable suspecting some market gains were about to take place. Of course, this is the stock market and the only rule is, there are no hard and fast rules. Sometimes, we think they change things, just to have a laugh!

 

For Friday, movement above 7920 points (and not a spike in the opening second please) looks capable of provoking market recovery to 7963 next with secondary, if bettered, calculating at a longer term 8062 points and a new all time high for the FTSE. The tightest stop loss looks quite reasonable at 7850 points.

Our alternate doomsday prophecy works out with the potential of below 7876 triggering reversal to 7856 points with secondary, if broken, at 7850 points. The proximity of these targets tends suggest some sort of bounce should be hoped for.

Have a good weekend, yet another one without Formula1 due to China being binned from the calendar this year.
