FTSE for FRIDAY (FTSE:UKX) & Brent Crude updated

#FTSE #Gold

There’s a need for a word to describe a new social phenomena. It used to be the case, when you bump into someone you’d smile and exchange the usual greetings. Nowadays, there’s a different greeting, the “ear tap” as folk frantically try to mute whatever is playing in their earpiece before they speak. Since falling victim to cordless ear buds at Xmas, it eventually dawned most people struggle at shutting the things down, the desperation for silence increasingly provoking an awkward ear dance as folk completely forget the ear piece can simply be removed.

There’s a degree of similarity with Brent crude currently, two lines converging on a chart with the market looking unable to decide what to do!

 

On the chart below, there’s the Red line since the gory days of 2020. The price of Brent has been struggling with this uptrend since last December, frantically trying not to break it and thus giving the markets a clue as to direction. And then there is the Blue line since a year ago, the artificial high blamed on Moscow but in reality, it was a trend which commenced a year earlier when the price of crude oil managed to exceed the cost of Brent crude, pre-pandemic. While the Russia thing undoubtedly caused a spike, the uptrend was absolutely nothing to do with hostilities in Ukraine. The visuals below tell their own story.

There’s a tiny little circled area on the chart, a point where intraday traffic pierced the Red line during two sessions but extreme case was taken to ensure the value of Brent crude closed above Red on the 8th and 9th December last year. This may be taken as early warning for future trouble, the market conceding the uptrend can be broken during a session but also extremely careful to ensure the uptrend remained in place. The implication, should we take this as a signal for danger, is a suggestion where weakness now below just $80.7 should trigger oil to drip down to 76.5 next with secondary, if broken, at 70 dollars. We’d be inclined to anticipate a bounce at the 70 dollar level, given such a drop ambition matches the high before the pandemic happened. There’s absolutely no logic we can suggest where this would make any sense, it’s just how things sometimes work.

Our alternate scenario for a gain is simply based on arithmetic.

Should Brent manage to somehow drip upwards, it now needs above $88 to suggest coming travel to $93 with secondary, if bettered, at $100.

Finally, there’s something else we need to mention. The chart visuals imply Brent crude should be forced to make a defining movement anytime in the next week or so, due to the convergence of the two trend lines. There’s absolutely no rule which demands this shall happen and sometimes, commonly with AIM shares which are awaiting important news, a share price will boringly drift through the trend lines and continue bumbling along which doing nothing useful. But in the case of Brent, should it stumble below 80.7 dollars, a short looks logical, one with a pretty tight stop.

 

FTSE for FRIDAY Given the FTSE has been effectively becalmed for the last few weeks,  it’s increasingly uncomfortable trying to get a feel of market direction but, as usual, we’ll give it a stab! At time of writing, the index (always remember, we’re talking the FTSE 100, not after hours futures) is at 7879 points, needing below 7859 points to risk triggering reversal to an initial 7793 points with secondary, if broken, down at 7742 points and visually a rebound. We fairly relaxed at these relaxation potentials as the index needs below 7600 points (Blue) before justifying panic. If triggered, the tightest stop loss level looks like 7900 points.

Our alternate scenario for a market gain seems pretty straightforward as above 7920 looks capable of triggering movement to an initial modest 7969 points with secondary, if bettered, a more useful 8005 points.

 

Have a good weekend.

Yellow Cake Plc (LSE:YCA), investing in Uranium

#gold #Nasdaq

A plaintive email reminded us we’d reviewed Yellow Cake Plc last year and in the time since, the share price successfully achieved both our targets. We’d recommend a visit to the “About” section of the company website for clear and straightforward information about the company business model. But do investors really want exposed to uranium?

 

With ever increasing positive attitude toward the nuclear power industry, it’s easy to suspect it’s a product whose time is coming, so once again we shall focus on the positive potentials, especially as the Red uptrend since 2020 appears to be providing a rather solid line, making it clear the company needs close a session below 365p currently to give an early clue for coming problems. Certainly, today here in Argyll, the freezing temperatures coupled with the exorbitant cost of heating oil reminded cheap green energy should be available, only lacking a political will.

To be honest, the focus on energy  was also driven by a personal ToDo list, felling four Holly trees. A funny thing about Holly trees is the leaf. Those closer to the ground are the typical spikey things which hurt, the trees natural defence against wild deer grazing. However, at the higher extremes of the tree, leaves are non jaggy, just normal tree leaves and unlikely to draw blood. Another nice thing about the Holly is the hard and heavy wood doesn’t really need seasoned, capable of being burnt immediately (but definitely better after 6 months drying). And from the perspective of someone who can’t be bothered chopping logs, catch a Holly tree when it’s about 10 metres high and the trunk is just the right thickness to be sliced by a chainsaw without challenging a wood burner’s door.

All things considered, we rather dislike the current high energy price regime!

 

For Yellow Cake Plc, their share price need only exceed Blue on the chart, currently 425p, to ideally enter a cycle to 441p next with secondary, if exceeded, at 457p and the potential of a major change in the long term prospects for the share price.

Above 457p currently looks capable of powering the share price toward a future 537p and a new all time high. Hopefully the company avoid any pitfalls.

John Wood Group (LSE:WD.), price growth in spring…

#FTSE #DOW

There have been some quite strange price movements with Wood over recent sessions, sufficient to provoke a few emails and a quick look at the news. It appears the oilfield services and engineering company are enjoying the buyout intentions of a private-equity firm, Apollo Global, apparently the 4th approach they’ve made to the company.

As the chart inset shows, it appears clear the market has little idea on how to handle the changing value being allocated to the share price, two major upward gaps in the last couple of weeks giving plenty of visual evidence. However, with the share price being gapped above the ruling downtrend since 2018, some hope exists the company believes it’s worth more than the current offer of 237p per share.

 

Above 228p should prove interesting, calculating as entering a cycle to an initial 308p with secondary, if bettered, at 376p. Both these ambitions are pretty important, nudging the share price above the glass ceiling which exists  around the 255p level and visually, creating a new ball game.  This share price has not yet even attained the high of 2020, prior to the Covid-19 drop, and only when share prices return to such a level, the artificial damage inflicted on many shares is liable to be undone. Until such a point, there’s a very real risk of share prices being regarded as “cheap” by those predators with shopping bags full of cash.

We should probably also mention, share price closure above this glass ceiling level of 255p changes our calculations from a Big Picture perspective as a distant 620p shall be regarded as presenting a long term attraction. Visually, it doesn’t look daft.

Finally, one important detail which was almost easy to overlook.

Once the market opted to gap this share above the downtrend, it removed it from a frightening region, one where we had been able to calculate an ultimate bottom of a ridiculous 38p!

Hurricane Energy (LSE:HUR), a fallen star?

#Gold #SP500

Once a company with a vibrant, exciting, share price, Hurricane Energy now finds itself pretty becalmed. It’s all a bit strange and appears to have been infected at the start of November last year, when the market opted to “gap” (manipulate) the share price up above the downtrend since 2019. And in the period since, sod all has effectively been happening!

Visually, it’s all a little strange. Generally, when the market opts to gap a share out of an immediate trend, it can be taken as a pretty sure sign the markets strongly expect something is coming yet, in the months since, Hurricane has struggled to achieve more than a one penny trading range. Of course, perhaps this means whatever expectation the market has, it may not be for something positive. The immediate situation certainly isn’t the most vibrant, at best giving a suggestion share price movement above 8.4p could challenge an initial 9.3p with secondary, if beaten, a marginally better 10.3p. It is all quite frustrating as we can even supply a 3rd level target of 11.9p.

Unfortunately, the share price needs close above 11.9p to suggest happy days are here again as true recovery becomes possible, the share price successfully making the transit from market plaything to something with very real potentials for the longer term.

 

Our converse scenario suggests weakness below 7p risks promoting reversal to 5.5p with secondary, if broken, a hopeful bottom of 3.22p.

For now, like the Ferrari F1 team, it’s a share with potential but visually inhibited by a series of bad choices.

Lloyds Banking Group (LSE:LLOY), and a silly cow!

#Brent #Dax

An attempt at rationing all 8 episodes of the excellent Clarkson’s Farm season 2 to avoid binging worked out, until Episode 7. His battle with the local council demanded the 8th and final episode was also consumed, the behaviour of a particular calf reminding me quite sharply we’d to run an analysis on Lloyds.

The similarity between the calf and Lloyds wasn’t difficult to miss. When the 4 legged monster decided it was going to wander away from the herd and ascend a low mound, virtually all of Clarkston’s staff eventually congregated at the top of the mound, trying to get the animal to come down. Among the hilarity was a clear simile between bovine behaviour and the British banking industry. The banks should be heading in a particular direction, instead choosing to wander off and do their own thing, to heck with everything else.

After all, we should have anticipated, with the FTSE at all time record levels,  the big three retail banks each enjoying a share price which appears to have absolved itself of any need to make useful movements which will impress investors. Currently, we would like to see Barclays discover sufficient excuse to wake up one morning and “gap” the share price above 181p. Equally, if Natwest “gapped” itself above 314p, we’d be aghast and Lloyds only need leap above 54p. A group of movements such as this would (probably) prove quite special for the retail banks, firmly and finally giving a strong signal something positive is happening.

Alternately, maybe Mr Clarkson’s girlfriend could get behind the shares, armed with her springy cane which she used to motivate the cow to grudgingly wander in the correct direction, her method of making herself as wide as possible being one which really works. But for local Highland cows here in Argyll, wandering along a lane, it’s generally easy to redirect them before they hit the main road.

 

In the event some dreams come true, what should we now anticipate if Lloyds share price somehow is gapped above 54p?

Initially, we expect movement to an initial 63p and possible hesitation. Our secondary, if such a level is bettered, works out at a quite useful 76p, hopefully a significant number. As the chart below shows, there’s a historical glass ceiling around the 73p level and closure above this green line shall be important for the longer term, punting the share into a zone where we shall now see a longer term attraction as coming from 123p.

For now, we lack any real confidence due to recent movements but genuinely suspect “the tell” will be the markets discovering a reason to gap bank shares up at the open one day.

FTSE for FRIDAY (FTSE:UKX) & S&P 500 Thoughts

#FTSE #SP500

 

Upsets come in many forms and rarely can we know the direction the next problem is coming from. The forest, at the top of our garden, provided something new to consider. We’ve a couple of LED light bars which are sealed inside old 2 litre cola bottles. The low voltage lights, powered by redundant mobile phone chargers, are literally chucked on the forest floor with 20 metres of thin power cable leading to the tough, weatherproof, electrical supply box. Any animal chewing the cable is unlikely to be harmed by the 3,3v supply for the green and blue light bottles which cast a pleasant glow in the trees.

However, seeing our clever waterproof lights suddenly moving around at night provoked a panic. A group of three Roe Deer were investigating, one with blue light over its head, another holding the green light in its mouth. The animals had clearly figured out the clear bottles were not edible, not dangerous, but could provide a source of entertainment. Realising an epic photograph was possible, it only took a move toward the house for an insignificant silent stampede to commence as the animals took flight. Thankfully, the lights were undamaged, resuming their usual position on the forest floor, another completely unexpected encounter with Argyll’s wildlife over and, as usual, without even a terrible snapshot from a mobile phone.

 

Obviously, “expecting the unexpected” should be the official mantra for stock markets worldwide. At present, our inclination is to anticipate trouble from North America, the S&P 500 and Wall St both giving early signs for potential trouble. Balancing against this, the UK and Europe appear to be surprisingly strong, following their own trend rather than slavishly adhering to the USA.

Currently, the S&P 500 is trading around 3980 points, needing above 4300 points for us to suggest something along the lines of “we no longer thing it’s going to drop, just go long and you may pick up over 500 points along the way!”. Unfortunately, from a charty viewpoint, it seems possible the market is also aware of the pickle it’s got itself into and is trying to avoid blindly heading into a zone where good times look very possible.

Instead, it’s now the case where below 3700 points calculates with the potential of reversal to 3300 points with secondary, if broken, at 2958 points. All the S&P needs is its own family of Roe Deer to stumble along and cause some havoc.

FTSE for Friday.  As mentioned earlier, the FTSE appears surprisingly strong, when compared against North America. Despite the last couple of weeks proving as decisive as myself when viewing a takeaway menu (before opting for my usual), there is something fairly important which can be spotted with market movements. As the two insets show, for some reason the immediate Red uptrend since October last year has been deemed inviolate, the market refusing to allow the FTSE to close below the trend. It makes us suspect we’ve been witnessing a slowdown, rather than warning of potential FTSE reversals.

The immediate situation therefore appears quite promising as above 7955 points should now make an attempt at an initial 7989 points. Our longer term secondary target calculates at 8033 points. If this scenario triggers, visually the tightest stop appears to be at 7900 points.

If things intend go a little wrong, below 7878 could easily trigger reversal to an initial 7858 with secondary, if broken, at 7795 points and hopefully a rebound.

 

Have a good weekend and, if you’re a glutton for punishment, remember the first Grand Prix of the season is taking place in Bahrain

Will Cellular Goods (LSE:CBX) get high?

#Gold #Japan

Inevitably, when a company manages to star in the list of top risers, we invariably check if a news report mentioning a Goose and Golden Eggs is featured. However, for Cellular Goods, there was nothing, thankfully not even a “We know of no reason for…” news release by the company. Maybe in this instance, something is actually happening as their share price decline has proven quite disappointing, the blame inevitably easily laid with the UK Govt.  The unhelpful UK attitude in allowing promotion of cannabis based products, products where any personal experience tends turn folk into true believers certainly did no favours for CBX.L, a real company with some really effective products. Already a devotee of something called CBD Oil, discovered during chemotherapy (not the faux hemp based product sold by Semichem etc), the writer hoped Cellular Goods, backed by Beckham, would be the one to make the breakthrough to mainstream acceptance.

Perhaps news Twitter are easing their blinkered approach to advertising from the medical cannabis sector shall prove to be the reason for the 41% rise in share price. From the feel of share price movements during 1st March, some real hope felt possible as there wasn’t the usual massive spread, indicative of a pump & dump scam being fed from an internet chatroom. In fact, as the afternoon proceeded, everything almost felt genuine when viewing the mid-price against the Buy/Sell prices since noon. Still, this is the UK stock market and crossing ones fingers remains a tried and tested technical term. It doesn’t work, just gives the nervous trader something else to think about!

 

For light relief, we drew a lot of lines on the chart in an attempt to decide if the share price is actually reacting to a trend. This appears to be the case as, should we draw a trend since March of last year, the share exceeded the Blue line last week. Now, allegedly armed with a Cellular Goods lotion to hopefully ease the pain of the dreadful price drop during January and February, it’s easy to extrapolate some reasonable growth potentials for the future.

Currently trading around 1.1p, our software suggests the share price needs to actually close above 1.55p to be viewed as triggering movement to an initial 2.20p with secondary, if bettered, a more encouraging 3p. Visually, there’s an almost certain expectation of hesitation around the 3p level, if only due to the bunch of folk trapped in the share since the high of last August, opting to bail at break even and introducing selling pressure.

At this level, things get interesting according to our software.

If CBX.L discover an excuse for the share price to close a session above 3p, things move into Big Picture calculation territory, a period where lots of targets become available due to the Big Picture presenting a surprising 7.6p as a major ambition for the distant future.

 

Should everything decide to go horribly wrong, the share currently needs close a session below roughly 0.664p. This would be a seriously bad thing, worse than getting sand in your pain relief cream…

SUCCESS above means both FAST & SLOW targets were met. ‘CESS means just the FAST target met and probably the next time it is exceeded, movement to the SLOW target shall commence.

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.
