It’s easy to imagine IAG.L (Previously British Airways) proves unpopular, due to their enormous name which is thankfully used for corporate ego and little else. Perhaps this is the reason their airlines retain the original branding, few aircraft being of sufficient length to paint the full company name!

IAG share price has experienced a pretty tough time during the last few years, even managing to match the pandemic lows of 2020 with their recent trip down to 93p. When we review things from a Big Picture perspective, there is a reasonable chance this share price should actually bounce from the 93p as the potential consequences of a fall below such a price are more dangerous than a speech by Truss, the UK PM. Already, it appears the recent visit to 93p was inspired by actions of the current UK government.

To deal with the bad scenario first, our calculations now show weakness below 93p as capable of triggering reversal to 81p and hopefully a proper bounce. We can calculate a secondary, should 79p break, and it’s an eventual bottom at a silly looking 51p, a price level rarer than a smile from British Airways cabin crew on a long haul flight.

 

However, price movements since the visit to 93p offer faint encouragement, thanks to some half hearted attempts to break the Blue downtrend which dates back to a few weeks before the pandemic hit the fan in 2020. The immediate situation suggests “strength” above 103p (currently trading around 101p) should make an attempt at an initial 113p next. If bettered, our secondary calculates at 126p, this representing a fascinating price level for the longer term.

In the longer term, closure above 126p apparently should prove significant, taking the share to a flight level where ongoing rises suggest a future 156p is possible with secondary, if bettered, at 208p. Usually we eschew such Big Picture thoughts but in this instance, the visuals against each target make a lot of sense, each ambition effectively challenging historical “glass ceiling” levels on the chart. It’s easy to already imagine a future 208p shall become crucial, giving the share an opportunity to make a game changing movement and lose its current “budget share price airline” status.

Few things pictorially describe our newest UK Prime Minister, along with her Chancellor, first few weeks in office better than a glance at any banking sector share. We often joke about politicians and their efforts to damage the country but, in this instance, it actually appears to be true. The somewhat indecent rush to the political trough managed to grind common sense into the mud.

Then again, the folk doing the most complaining are also those who thought Gordon Brown was something of a genius for his behaviour during the financial crisis. Those opinions now, of course, quietly forgotten. Personally, the moment he sought to declare Iceland a ‘terrorist state’ marked the point at which his judgement during the crisis needed questioned. Instead, he was feted as the only one capable of making decisions, while the rest of the world floundered, completely unable to figure out what to do when businesses went broke due to their own incompetence.

Obviously, Natwest share price remains suffering a hangover from the glory days of 2009, a period when their share price hit 9.5p. Currently trading around 230p, share splits conceal the salient fact the true price, adjusting for splits, is around 22.5p. Any conclusion of the banking sector not recovering from the 2009 shambles is correct.

 

Three weeks ago, when we reviewed Natwest, some optimism leaked into our report. Unfortunately, it appears the best efforts of the current Prime Minister successfully derailed hope for the future, parking the share in a zone where hope is suffering from its version of a supply chain crisis. The immediate situation is pretty vile as below 216p now calculates with the potential of reversal to 200p, a price level where the visuals anticipate a bounce. However, should the 200p level be broken, things risk becoming murky, thanks to the presence of our longer term secondary at 181p. At this point, there’s nothing on the chart hinting a rebound should be anticipated, making us a little nervous.

On the converse side of life, if Natwest intends discover positive action, movement above 242p should apparently prove capable of a lift to an initial 251p. Amazingly, above this level produces a truly amazing target of 294p, a price level which will demand we pick our jaw off the floor and hurriedly redo long term calculations as some “real” movement becomes possible.

#FTSE #Gold

When examing price movements with shares, commodities, forex, crypto, index’ etc, we usually start by calling up a chart, drawing a few trend lines, then walk away for a while. Sometimes, returning to the chart will suddenly make sense, sometimes (like currently) we’re left uncomfortably clueless as to the markets intention.

The charts immediately below are a simple representation of FTSE closing prices since March 2020. While the index has clearly broken through Red, the uptrend, the price has not being describing “Lower Lows”, needing to CLOSE a session below 6797 – the most recent intraday low price – to tick the first box in an inevitable tumble to around 6,220 points eventually. Instead, the UK market is performing as if the Light Blue line represents an impenetrable barrier, below which some sort of rule will stop the market falling.

There’s a tiny little problem with this, thanks to the break of Red. Thanks to politics in the UK, the market has already illustrated the pandemic uptrend can fail and appears to be awaiting the next economic gaff from the PM or Chancellor as the FTSE hasn’t made any real effort to clamber above 7200 points, hopefully eradicating the reversal potentials. Instead, with a couple of weeks of fits and starts, London appears to be treading water, doubtless with an expectation British politicians will give in to temptation and continue their efforts to erode confidence in the economy. Additionally, we remain curious at the virtual political & media blackout regarding the price of crude oil, no-one questioning why fuel prices remain high despite the cost of Crude retreating below the level, pre-Ukraine!

Our suspicion is the FTSE shall discover a path down to 6220 points eventually. It just needs the right excuse…

FTSE for FRIDAY From a near term perspective, we strongly suspect the FTSE requires exceed 7,120 points to trigger some “proper” gains, allowing rather tame movement to an initial 7,138 points with secondary, if bettered, a more impressive 7,230 points. Obviously, such movement has the potential of affording the chance for the FTSE to close a session in “safe” territory, effectively undoing the numeric damage from the trend break. If this upward break triggers, the tightest stop is painfully wide around 7,050 points.

However, we’d be remiss if we ignored market behaviour on Thursday 6th October. Ongoing traffic below 6,960 points calculates with the potential of reversal to an initial 6,920 points with secondary, if broken, at 6,862 points. Neither reversal ambition is sufficient to trigger anything from a Big Picture perspective and thus, for this reason alone, they’re probably the ideal series of movements for the FTSE in the absence of negative news.

Of course, it’s also the first Friday of October and this means US Payrolls day!

 

Have a good weekend.

#Gold #SP500 Ranked as one of The Big Seven supermajor oil companies, Total Energies enjoy a Wikipedia page worth a visit for anyone wanting to lose 30 minutes in fascination. Currently, their logo no longer shows on Formula1 cars but, perhaps Russian military aircraft exhibit it. Total are the only remaining western “major” operating in Russia, apparently supplying a refinery which produces jet fuel for warplanes!

However, as is usually the case with long established corporate entities (Total were founded in 1924), our favourite section of the Wikipedia page is “Controversies”, this always being the part where a companies squeaky clean image is sullied by uncomfortable historical facts. It’s almost summed up quite neatly by a study last year which surmised;

“‘They’ ultimately settled on a position in the late 1990s of publicly accepting climate science, while still promoting doubt and trying to delay climate action.”

 

As for their share price, Total appear poised to experience some gains.

At time of writing, the share was trading around 51.3€, needing only exceed 52.1€ to trigger the potential of gains toward an initial 57. Visually, there’s a fairly plausible suggestion of some hesitation at such a point, due to it matching historical highs. But should the 57 Euro level be exceeded, a visit to 60€ calculates as possible, perhaps taking the share price into a region where some longer term “game changing” potentials become possible. Currently, we can scratch in 80€ as a rough potential but realistically, shall need revisit the numbers should the 60 Euro ambition be fulfilled.

If everything intends go pear shaped for Total, the share price needs slip below 45 as this risks promoting reversal down to an initial 38€ with secondary, if broken, down at the 34€ mark and hopefully a resounding bounce. (Suggested by the visual implications)

Zephyr Energy (LSE:ZPHR) #FTSE #Stoxx50

Despite cringing at the word “Zephyr”, this share price is starting to show signs of becoming interesting. The origins of the cringe memory come from being given a Ford Zephyr car, a clapped out machine with the only saving grace of being free, the bodywork rust being held together fairly successfully by paint. But when you’re at school, clutching a brand new driving license, a “congratulations gift” from a neighbour was a wonderful idea.

 

Of course, now, I realise he didn’t want the hassle of getting rid of the monstrosity but it ran, had a few months MoT left and was road taxed too. It was a car which couldn’t be judged by todays standards as, even by the standards of the period, it was awful. Vague steering, terrible roadholding, nasty brakes in wet weather, and the 2 litre engine struggled to provide any reasonable acceleration. But when you’re 17 and the alternative was riding a motorcycle or catching a bus, this Ford Zephyr was, very briefly, the best car in the world. The things idiosyncrasies (death trap features) were tolerated as, for a couple of weeks, it transported a bunch of friends and I back and forth from school. But for a 2 litre engine, the fuel consumption was appalling, the cause discovered entirely by accident at a petrol station. Fuel was dripping out of the tank, a victim of the rust which had consumed the rest of the machine. Rather than fix the problem, another chum was happy to assume ownership of the deathtrap and gleefully took it home, declaring it was going to be his winter project. It never saw the roads again, aside for the day a scrap dealer winched it onto a trailer.

But nope, the name Zephyr does not generate any fond memories.

 

However, Zephyr Energy appear poised to do something useful. The last couple of days saw their share price being manipulated (gapped) upward at the market open. It’s curious the level of gaps are quite minimal but, over the two sessions, there’s a clear impression the market wants the share price to head up.

This has created the situation where movement above 6.05p should make an attempt at 6.5p next with secondary, if bettered, a rather more useful 7.3p, along with an almost certain challenge of the ruling Blue downtrend on the chart. Obviously the share price enjoys potentials above Blue but realistically, we shall prefer revisiting the numbers again to firm up some ambitious targets.

Conversely, there’s always the risk of the price shooting itself in the foot!

Movement below 4.5p risks reversal to an initial 4p with secondary, if broken, at 2.6p and hopefully a bottom capable of generating a bounce.  But for now, we suspect the share price shall prove worth keeping an eye on, near term.

#Gold #Nasdaq

Numbers are a funny old thing. Being quite capable of counting the quiet “ding” in an elevator as it goes past floors to knowing the count of “clunks until stop” from the tube track as a carriage approaches a station. Or my ongoing battle with microwaves, entering the correct number of seconds to ensure a soup mug handle is positioned perfectly when it finishes. But perhaps the thing which really drives my wife mad is my morning coffee.

It took an age but finally getting to the point where every coffee is “the perfect one” felt like a major achievement. After far too many years, I was able to leave behind the morning lottery which, maybe once every few months, produced a “perfect” coffee. Achieving this nirvana was, even by my own standards, quite ridiculous and involved experimenting with many types of coffee beans. The next stage was harder, discovering the perfect length of time to grind the beans, finally using the milk steamer to heat milk to the right, for my palate, temperature.

In the last few months, an issue developed. When prices started to rocket, something strange happened with coffee bean purchases as the quality started to prove variable. Three years of producing “the perfect” coffee every morning abruptly became a thing of the past as changes to the supply chain had thrown a spanner in the coffee mug. Chatting to the supplier was illuminating as it transpires other customers were grumbling. He’s investigating but suspects the issue may be coffee beans shipped by boat, rather than as air freight, with a resultant deteriorating in the quality of the product. What’s interesting about this (utterly ridiculous) First World problem is how price rises are changing everything.

Perhaps, with companies like Easyjet once again flying, we shall hopefully discover fresh coffee is again available as they inflict predatory pricing to dissuade customers from bringing luggage, leaving sufficient space in the hold for air cargo…

 

However, before looking at Easyjet, there’s another issue with numbers which we feel worthy of consideration.

	2022’s Gain %ge	Drop %ge
	from 2020 pre-Covid	from 2022’s high
Nasdaq	41%	-33%
S&P 500	29%	-25%
Wall St	22%	-22%
FTSE	1%	-11%
DAX	15%	-13%
Euro Stoxx	12%	-26%
UK Crude	48%	-40%

 

There’s a constant rumble in the media suggesting market reversals are upon us but the table above illuminates something quite odd. Taking the Nasdaq as a case in point, from 2020’s pre-pandemic high, it rose from 9740 points up to 16740 points, an impressive rise of 41%. But since the start of 2022, it has fallen to a recent low of 10970 points, -33% from this years high. We’ve a sneaking suspicion index’ are all intending to settle around their pre-pandemic level, perhaps making an attempt at some stability. It was interesting, Wall St on Monday 3rd October celebrated being up 22% since 2020, then down 22% from its high, and experienced a day with gains sometimes over 3%. The market is now marginally below the pre-pandemic level (29,550 points) and we’re curious if we’re about to witness some surprise gains on some markets. Obviously, the Euro Stoxx 50 is a bit of an outlier in this theory, as is the FTSE but, for the FTSE, we’ve got local politicians attempting to destroy the country while they enact their versions of “a cunning plan”.

The above is certainly food for thought. We believe, should Wall St exceed 30,050 points anytime soon, threats of market collapse shall prove unfounded.

 

As for Easyjet, when we last reviewed the share price, we’d provided a drop target level at 334p. The share decided to play fair, dropping to our target level and successfully respecting it for a few months until mid-September, when on the 22nd of the month, the share was literally gapped down below our 334p level. This tended to prove we’d been monitoring the correct trend but made us wonder what the market was up to. Our secondary, below 334p, had been given as a silly looking 38p, a target we still have considerable difficulty in taking seriously.

If our suspicion is correct from our examination of market numbers above, perhaps Easyjet may be due a surprise era of price recovery. The immediate situation calculates with the potential of weakness below 277p being capable of 262p and hopefully a bounce. But we do need to concede the share price is trading in a region where ultimate bottom remains at our silly 38p.

Examining the other side of the coin, if a surprise recovery is indeed on the cards, above 292p theoretically should provoke an attempt at 319p initially with secondary, if bettered, a rather more encouraging 355p along with a heightened visual chance of some hesitation. We’d certainly wish to revisit the numbers at such a level, Easyjet needing share price closure above 355p to suggest game changing longer term potentials.

#Brent #Dax

Sometimes, it feels like our three weekly visit to Lloyds comes around faster than talk of the UK changing Prime Ministers! Our current great leader must be wondering how big an archive of inappropriate photographs TV show, “Have I Got New For You”, hold in reserve. For Lloyds, we’ve one snapshot below which appears worthy of discussion.

Our eye was caught by the share’s Closing Price movements during 5 sessions in September, shown in the r/h inset on the chart. On July 19th, the share price broke above what was assumed to be the 2022 downtrend, lunging upward to 44.3p before settling back down. For the next four sessions, the case price closed each day, carefully placed just above this immediate downtrend. Eventually, curiosity reared its ugly head and we extended this downtrend back in time, wondering where it may end up. The trend commenced on September 19th, 2008, a day where the market somehow decided to spike up to 393p before opting to close the session a pound lower.

We often warn of opening spikes proving capable of fuelling reversals but, by any standards, this one proved a humdinger.

Thankfully, while we’re fascinated in discovering this Blue line can be dated back 14 years, it’s also worth recalling this particular Blue trend line is now regarded as a historical downtrend, the market clearly very aware of it. Despite the current song and dance being enacted by Lloyds share price, it’s usually the case when a historical downtrend is broken, a new trend commences UNLESS a price once again retreats below the previous trend. From a charty perspective, this is a bit like grabbing a pole on the underground, one previously fondled by someone with Covid-19, also Monkeypox, and a liking for ‘I’m A Celebrity’ on UK TV. It’s frightening to note there’s no medical treatment for the last illness.

To pretend optimism, currently Lloyds share price is languishing in a zone where our Big Picture can start to make arguments favouring an eventual 222p as a sane target for the (distant) future!

 

For now, despite our breathless excitement at discovering a trend we’d only suspected, we’re a little worried at current movements as they risk dumping Lloyds share price once again below Blue on the chart, with all the misery it entails. The immediate situation allows for weakness below 40.4p to trigger reversals to an initial non-threatening 39.1p. If broken, our secondary becomes rather more worrying at 35.5p, along with an implicit risk of the share price closing a session below Blue. Our hope, given the market is clearly very aware of the parentage of this trend line, is for a surprise upward change in direction for nails start being hammered into coffins.

We’re always quite fond of trying to identify a point which needs passed to rubbish a series of calculations. In the case of Lloyds, we can argue closure above 43.5p should serve to marshal the share price away from imminent doom, taking the first steps of a journey which should lead to a relatively near term 51p with secondary, if bettered, at 53.5p and some probable hesitation.

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.
