#FTSE #WallSt

Sometimes it’s possible to utterly confuse yourself by looking at something too closely. Other times, you risk crashing in flames, ‘cos you didn’t bother looking. And at present, it’s worth looking at the FTSE every which way, because it’s behaving utterly cluelessly. We’ve always the fear; “If it ain’t goin’ up, it’s gonna go down” will apply when shares behave this way, so perhaps we should look for dangerous drop triggers against the London main index.

 

The immediate chart below reviews minute by minute movements on the FTSE, since the start of March. Visually, it’s pretty clear things have proven fairly tepid since the start of April, the market effectively flatlining. The previous high on the FTSE was 7688 points, achieved on February 10th, and the market has yet to attempt to exceed such a level. To be fair, there’s a heck of a strong argument demanding the FTSE head to 7740 points next, if only the index would wander above the Blue line on the chart. At time of writing, this Blue level is at 7637 points and we shall prove as attainable as a UK politician telling the truth. To be blunt, the closer the index approaches the trend, the greater the chances of the market opting to react in a negative fashion. Hence, our suspicion we need to check drop triggers.

It looks like the first indication of real trouble shall come, if the FTSE stumbles below 7594 points as this calculates with the potential of sharp reversal to an initial 7538 points. The visuals against such a reversal tend imply a reasonable chance of a bounce, given all the market lows in the first week of April. Things become a little more dangerous, should 7538 break as travel down to a secondary at 7436 works out as possible.

At this level, things risk becoming nastier than a Scottish ‘summer’ day, due to the need for divine intervention to inhibit a further reversal cycle which eventually approaches the 7200 point level…

 

During the course of Thursday evening, news from the USA regarding potential interest rate changes provoked hysterics on most indices. In common with the rest of the world, FTSE futures dropped sharply but we feel the level at which the real market opens on Friday morning shall be crucial, both in defining if the FTSE faces some near term drops or, if the market opens the day above 7594 points, a slight chance for another day enjoying watching London do very little…

Have a good weekend and enjoy the Italian GP.

Our weekly trawl of Europe turned up Ceconomy, describing themselves as “We are more than a retail company – we are the European leader for concepts and brands in the field of consumer electronics. With our products, brands and solutions, we simplify life in the digital world.” Alas, their share price movements currently say something rather less optimistic and with their Q2 results due on 13th May, it’s easy to imagine some negative action.

Of course, there’s a caveat and it’s all to do with my dentist. Thanks to some really restrictive practices during the Covid-19 period, a visit to the dentist revealed 4 teeth required extraction, the four front ones. The operation took place today and proved to be the most unpleasant and painful experience ever had in a dental surgery. There was blood, there was sweat (the dentist) and there were uncontrollable tears as the guilty gum abscess did its best to ensure anaesthesia didn’t  work well. Long story short, it’s unlikely the writer is in the best frame of mind to look favourably on a share price!

With Ceconomy looking like it intends wither on the vine, the share probably is volunteering itself as the ideal target for a bout of misery.

 

There’s been something quite peculiar going on as share price movements this year are proving quite unreliable. The price has been carefully walked down what should be the historical downtrend since 2018. As the chart inset highlights, it’s hard to escape the impression this slow visual murder is anything but deliberately engineered as we wonder if the dramatics intend conclude with a nasty stab downward to a bottom, hopefully a level capable of provoking a rebound?

This being the case, weakness now below 3€ looks very capable of driving reversal to an initial 2.5€. If broken, our ‘longer term’ secondary target works out at 1.5€ and hopefully an ultimate bottom for the share. For everything to suddenly come up roses, the share price needs exceed 3.8€ to enter a region where a recovery cycle toward an initial 4.5 makes some sense. If exceeded, our secondary calculates at a visually sane 5.8.

Importantly, closure above 4.5€ is liable to prove game changing for the long term, making an attempt at 5.8€ very probable but realistically, we’d need admit a long term target of 7.2€ has become possible. Perhaps it’s the pain of dentistry talking but I suspect this intends head to 1.5 and a hopeful bottom. Perhaps worth watching.

Kenmare Resources Plc, an established mining company, operate in Mozambique. Therefore, they obviously have absolutely nothing in common with the “twee” Scottish village of Kenmore in Perthshire, home of what is probably the tightest hairpin bend in existence. It’s a pity, ‘cos the email request immediately reminded on the time my wife and her motorbike vanished at slow speed into the heather as we made our way down to Kenmore.

 

However, Kenmare Resources Plc do present a mildly interesting facet of share price history, especially what can happen when a share suffers a 190:1 share split. Historically, we abhor these movements as they almost never work out well for folk who were invested prior to the “here’s One Share to replace your existing One Hundred and Ninety Shares”. When the price of Kenmare is adjusted to handle the manipulation, there’s visually little chance of the price ever achieving recompense for the folk trapped from the days in 2012, when the price was around 630p. It now needs achieve 120,000p just for these folk to break even.

The chart below endeavours to outline how painful this is for long term investors. While it was certainly not a fun experience watching the share tumble from the 630p level to under a penny, just 4 years later, the share split has only served to make the price once again sound respectable, leaving many folk destined to ‘walk funny’ due to the massive reduction in real value.

Importantly though, the flatline isn’t quite as flat as the Big Picture chart implies, the share price now trading roughly twice the level when the split occurred and, perhaps more importantly, some folk who’ve been invested since 2015 are now showing an actual profit! Better still, it feels some continued price recovery is now possible as movement above 530p looks capable of provoking ongoing travel to an initial 552p with secondary, if bettered, at 588p and some probable hesitation.

For the longer term, closure above 588p shall prove crucial as this would emplace the share price in a region where influences from before the 190:1 share split become viable. As a result, we can calculate a future 683p as presenting a logical future ambition.

Finally, thanks for the emails regarding the photo of the muddy Easter dog. Glad to know it’s not just our monster who does this.

Share prices can behave like dogs. Sometimes, you just don’t know what they’ll do next. Easter monday and the familiar dog route – without needing a waxed cotton jacket for the first time this year – proved memorable. The almost white Golden Retriever decided she had always wanted to try chocolate brown, nose diving into a peat bog. Natwest share price is starting to feel poised for trouble also, the share enjoying plenty of reasons to head upward, yet refusing to do so.

It begs the question, do Natwest intend head into a peat bog?

Currently the share price needs decline below 206p to suggest coming trauma as such a movement risks promoting reversal to an initial 192p. If broken, our secondary calculation runs deep at 181p, effectively matching the depths of the Russia drop in March. Visually, should such a number appear, there’s certainly considerable hope for a bounce.

However, we remain slightly optimistic for Natwest, due to the pattern of price movements during the last few months. The immediate situation hints, quite strongly, of movement above 226p being capable of a lift to 236p next with our longer term secondary working out at 260p, an ambition which should prove game changing for the share.

All Natwest need to is to start moving…

#FTSE #Gold

Some slight hope is apparent the FTSE should finally do something positive. Then again, it’s maybe just everyone looking forward to the chocolate jamboree over the coming Easter weekend, along with the first real stock market holiday of 2022. So far, April has proven quite frustrating, plenty of little nudges in the right direction, all invariably failing to come to fruition thanks to marketplace nerves about Russia, Johnston, inflation, the Chancellor, interest rates, parties, Covid-19, and anything else which takes the media’s fancy.

Meanwhile, there’s some concern among some sections of the media over reports the largest comet ever recorded is heading toward our planet and intends give it a miss… A bit of a pity as any excuse is always welcome to avoid trimming the lawn edges.

 

The FTSE closed Wednesday at 7580 points and now, need only exceed 7600 to enter a cycle toward an initial 7623 points. If bettered, our secondary ambition comes along at 7644 points and there’s something extremely interesting at such a level. Essentially, above 7644 and there’s very little impediment toward the FTSE entering a sharp race uphill toward 7735 points!

Should things decide to go the other way, our reversal scenario is fairly straightforward. Weakness now below 7550 points looks capable of promoting reversal to an initial 7501 points with secondary, if broken, down at 7424 points.

For the present, we’re inclined toward FTSE optimism, though perhaps it’s the threat of enjoying a couple of days break which, against all rules, look certain to be accompanied by good weather. Have a good weekend.

Something remained absent from TV, when 2021 turned into 2022. Traditionally we all faced a barrage of travel company commercials, all of which were utterly wasted in 2020 and mostly wasted at the start of 2021. Travel companies obviously opted to play safe this year, forgetting to remind us a nicer world awaits outside the UK. The recent demise of a manager at Manchester Airport suggested travel companies may not be suffering, despite their lack of alluring commercials.

 

Apparently Manchester Airport handled around 70,000 travellers in March 2021. This number nudged upward slightly in March 2022, over 2 million people slowly shuffling toward their aircraft. Management, however, remained in a mindset of 2021’s passenger numbers, hence the utter chaos. Which, in fairness, has effected other airports to lesser degrees. It becomes obvious the travel companies will be experiencing an uptick in demand and, as a result, surely it’s just a matter of time before organisations like TUI mention a change in fortunes. Hopefully such a mention shall produce a result with their share price as it appears to be marking time at present.

 

The share price for Tui Ag is remained, quite carefully, below the Blue downtrend since 2019. Equally, the price has studiously failed exceed the point of trend break for the previous Red uptrend since 2020 and conventionally, when we take these two signals together we’re supposed to anticipate the worst. In the case of Tui, ‘the worst’ translates into reversal to an ultimate bottom of just 35p. Visually absolutely nothing about such a target level makes sense with the result we smell a rat.

It’s certainly possible, maybe even probable, Tui shall exhibit some final reversal before a break through the Blue line, one of these kind gestures by the stock market, designed to scare the heck out of traders prior to a sharp rise. Should this be the game plan, we can calculate below 224p as threatening reversal to an initial 211p with secondary, if broken, at 192p and ideally the point where a bounce potential shall be discovered.

Any bounce capable of exceeding 249p should prove interesting as we can work out an initial ambition now at 282p. Ideally with closure above such a number, our secondary calculates at 322p but, in fairness, Tui could easily sprint onward to the 426p level, a point where a vague glass ceiling awaits.

If our suspicion is correct, Tui should experience a sharp reversal prior to a surge upward. It’s marginally possible the reversal on the 11th April shall prove sufficient but it really didn’t feel like the market was trying hard enough to scare the pants off folk.

#Gold #SP500

It’s funny how a brush with UFO’s can provoke thoughts on UPS’ share price. It all started with two lights in the night sky, one which made an impossible 90 degree turn with no loss of speed, the other continuing onward in utter silence. In the years since the event, clear nights justified wandering outside but for the last two years, the primary moving lights high overhead have been from UPS & DHL airfreight craft.

The shear volume of airfreight proved astounding, especially during Lockdowns as passenger aircraft became a rarity. Instead, a hurried glance at the popular FlightRadar24 website would reveal incredible numbers of air cargo jets, moving parcels back and forth across the Atlantic. Recently however, while there’s a noticeable uptick in passenger jets, there also appears to be a reduction in the number of cargo aircraft, making us wonder if the charge back to “normal” is now effecting peoples shopping habits, fewer parcels needing sent around the world. Quite why people prefer shopping ‘in person’ remains a complete mystery.

 

A glance at UPS’s share price starts to confirm this suspicion as something certainly appears to be going on, due to their share price constantly descending to lower altitudes.

UPS needs exceed $203 to nullify this scenario, so as it’s trading around $190, this permits a reasonable stop loss level.

Now below $186 allows weakness down to an initial $168 with secondary, if broken, at $154 and visually, a very possible bounce level. There is the potential for extreme danger, should the price discover an excuse to close a session below $154 as we can calculate $120 as a “bottom”.

Infosys Limited (NYSE:INFY) A share, clearly beloved by the current UK chancellor and his wife, trades on the New York stock exchange and for obvious reasons, must be worthy of a glance. From Wikipedia, the company is described as “Infosys Limited is an Indian multinational information technology company that provides business consulting, information technology and outsourcing services. The company was founded in Pune and is headquartered in Bangalore“.

Doubtless the company are cursing the political ambitions of one of the family as it appears their share price has suffered, thanks to the rumbling scandal from the UK. The immediate situation looks fraught with danger as weakness below $22.5 looks capable of promoting reversal to a pretty safe sounding $21.94. While visually there’s a degree of hope for a rebound from such a level, things become nasty as the price will be viewed as breaking the Covid-19 uptrend since 2020. This creates a situation where weakness below $21.94 allows further traffic down to the $17 level.

We can hope the company have avoided contracts with the UK Government. The current climate shall doubtless expose them to scrutiny, conjecture and rumour. Should the $17 level make an appearance, there’s a severe risk of ongoing weakness to an eventual ultimate bottom at $9.22.
