Pendragon Plc LSE:PDG, taking flight?

#Gold #Nasdaq

Finally getting around to searching for the origins of the word “Pendragon”, we were amused to discover it’s Welsh roots, meaning “Head Dragon”. Without a doubt, this particular dragon has been biting shareholders on the posterior since 2016 but now, it finally looks like the stock market may be applying a healing salve.

Perhaps this potential for recovery is at a terrible time, given the underlying feel of the markets and, in addition, the car market must surely suffer from increased interest rates, along with increased energy prices. It’s certainly easy to suspect the impetus toward Electric Vehicles shall falter, given What Car magazine’s recent real world tests which revealed it now costs more to charge batteries than to top up with petrol. A family member recently moaned about this, her irritation growing as falling temperatures here in Scotland are seeing her battery range drop from 240 miles to around 150 miles in her Renault Zoe. This sort of thing must surely effect the car buying market as folk tend lose interest in going Green, when their credit card statement is getting a hammering.

 

However, for now, Pendragon look capable of taking wing and heading upward as recent share price movements are proving completely at odds with the majority of shares in the UK stock markets. The share price was recently manipulated upward, thanks to an unsolicited offer for takeover of the entire company. As a result of this approach, a little war of words appears to be taking place between Hedin Mobility and Pendragon and a glance through the appropriate RNS’s failed to provide any great clarity as to what is actually happening. But then again, no-one plays poker with all their cards face up as it defeats the purpose!

The immediate situation looks pretty straightforward as strength above 28p looks capable of movement to an initial 29.7p. If bettered, our secondary works out at 33p, an interesting prospect, as this dumps the share price in a zone where a longer term 43p calculates as possible. Who knows, perhaps a bidding war is expected for the motor trade giant?

 

To cause panic, their share price needs drop below Red (18p), working out with the potential of reversal to 11p initially. Should such a level break, our secondary and “ultimate bottom” comes along at 8p.

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

TUI Ag (LSE:TUI) and the lead balloon effect.

#FTSE #STOX Perhaps, with this little “lesson” on charts, we shall be preaching to the choir with TUI but there’s a signal which tends be invaluable. It’s when a price achieves a degree of stability, especially in a downward cycle, this stability often ending with a “Gotcha suckers” leap off a cliff. With TUI, the leaps are proving to be careful steps down, movement from the 400p lever leading down to 300p.

Then, after a reasonable period of mourning at discovering this low, probably convincing many investors 300p was “bottom”, it again stepped down to 250p. Once sufficient numbers convinced themselves this was obviously a solid bottom, the price remorselessly stepped down to 150p. And now, it almost feels like the current price level is being “sold” to the market as a probable bottom. Obviously, as utter cynics, we’re not entirely convinced, due to the presence of a Big Picture bottoming potential now calculating at an eventual 56p.This is a price level we cannot calculate below.

 

We’re a little surprised at the lack of vibrant atmosphere around TUI. Firstly, there’s the bloke next door! As our dogs are best friends, he habitually dumps his mutt with us when he flies abroad for a quick holiday. This year, he’s managed to vanish for 6 weeks (so far), describing visits to destinations as like stepping back 30 years, without the usual tourist mobs. However, returning today from the far east, he noticed (quite miserably) passenger numbers are increasing. We noticed, (hopefully) TUI recently reported their winter bookings at 78% of pre-Covid levels. Yet their share price languishes at 12% of pre-pandemic levels!

The current picture remains dubious, movement below 100p working out with the potential of reversal to 88p next. We would hope for a bounce at such a level, especially as it looks like the last port of call before our ultimate bottom of 56p. If there’s any residual strength, 88p should be “it”, in plain English, anytime now for a bounce.

 

Our inclination is to allocate 120p as a viable trigger level, due to movement above such a point calculating with the chances of a visit to 132p next. If bettered, our secondary comes along at a potentially game changing 158 – game changing because such a travel ambition takes the price above the ruling downtrend, into a region where a 3rd level target of 184 should be viable. However, our (usual) demand remains valid, we need see the share price actually close above the Blue downtrend.

 

In summary, we suspect TUI are close to bottoming, perhaps needing fingers crossed before daring to become involved.

International Consolidated Airlines Group S.a, reaching for the pies

#Gold #SP500

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.

Natwest (LSE:NWG) and the absence of hope.

#Brent #Dax

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.

Our galaxy famed FTSE for FRIDAY (FTSE:UKX)

#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.

Total Energies EU:TTE looking encouraging

#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)

For the present, we suspect Total intends share price gains.

Zephyr Energy, shining like a new car?

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.
