Our internationally famed FTSE for FRIDAY

#FTSE #STOXX50 

With news the incompetent UK Prime Minister was finally doing the right thing, we’d expected the FTSE to show some flamboyant behaviour but it proved not the case. It’s hard to believe the bloke is hanging onto the job for a few more months, so he can get free use of Chequers, the official PM residence, for his next wedding & the unusual experience of hosting a party without being fined.

This tends encapsulate the impression given by the PM throughout the pandemic, essentially not caring about anything other than personal vanity.

When the PM made his announcement, the FTSE did manage to rise immediately by a fairly trivial 25 points, deciding to stabilise around the 7200 point level for the rest of the session. We certainly could not describe it as a wild celebration by the markets due to Boris’s less than graceful exit. If we’re honest, we still suspect the FTSE is awaiting an excuse for a bit of a bloodletting, thanks to its behaviour since the start of June. Initially, July started with the first couple of trading days showing astoundingly low volumes, making us fear the worst. However, volumes appear to have returned to “normal” levels and the FTSE now requires exceed just 7220 points to kick its way through the immediate Blue downtrend. Thankfully, there are some immediate potentials which suggest slight optimism may be permissible.

 

Currently, above 7220 should prove capable of triggering movement to an initial 7255 points, a modest 35 point rise. If exceeded, our secondary calculates at 7333 points, visually matching the highs of last month doubtless provoking some hesitation for this reason. It’s important we mention our suspicion of a coming near term bloodbath recedes quite dramatically in this scenario, the FTSE proving able to break free of the suspiciously concise Blue downtrend..

 

For things to start going wrong for the FTSE, the index needs flop below 7135 points to risk triggering reversal to an initial 7093 points. In the event this level breaks, things risk becoming quite twitchy as our secondary works out at 6999 points, below the Red uptrend since 2020. This represents a market level which could swiftly lose another 200 points without much effort, should the markets discover news which is perceived as bad.

 

Have a good weekend, the weather looks great and hopefully the Austrian GP proves as entertaining as last weekends efforts from Silverstone.

E.ON, a European slide down?

#Gold #Nasdaq

Our weekly trawl through European shares was made easy, when an respected analyst decided to start the week with a 12.5 Euro target for E.On. We’ve hesitated a few times recently, when considering running an analysis as the visuals were not great. Now, we’re wondering if someone at JPMC has rose tinted glasses! If so, there’s probably a job waiting for them at 10 Downing St.

Energy giant E.On, trading in 13 countries across Europe and over 30 worldwide, appear to be trying hardest in the renewable sector. Unfortunately, a glance through Google News reveals customer service remains a particular sector the company fail to excel in, quite the opposite it seems as they were recently ranked in the bottom four suppliers due to their treatment of consumers.

Their share price, doubtless due to the Russia things, now appears to be setting itself up for some dramatics, taking aim at a direction quite the opposite of that mooted by the respected analyst.

 

Presently trading around the 8€ level, weakness now below 7.7 looks very capable of promoting reversal down to an initial 7.3€, along with slight hope of a short lived bounce. However, should 7.3 break, our secondary calculates at 6.6, matching the lows from 5 years ago, and doubtless causing a proper rebound, if only due to the number of folk glancing at a chart.

We do have a cautionary note, should 6.6€ break as we can work out an “ultimate bottom” level down at 5.5€, a level at which the price almost must recoil.

We’re lacking in confidence any rebound shall enjoy sufficient force to reach JPMC’s target of 12.5€

Equals Group Plc, the Jeffrey Archer link…

#FTSE #DOW

A bunch of emails asking us to take a look at Equals Group automatically brought “First Among Equals” to mind, a book by ex-politician Jeffrey Archer. It was recently reported the No 10 Ethics Advisor had resigned. Why did no-one ask why an Ethics Advisor was needed in Downing St? In terms of entertainment, events tonight from Downing St easily provided more drama in a matter of minutes than Mr Archers overly respectful testimony to political misbehaviour.

 

For some reason, a few folk appear to believe something is happening with Equals Group, a company who develop payment platforms which allow clients to move and manage their money flow. In honesty, the website blurb is all very familiar, all the usual promises made, all the correct buzzwords emplaced. And then, you discover a few further details such as their 5 year agreement with Mastercard, their partnership with Citi Commercial Bank, even part of Bank of Englands Faster Payments Scheme.

Armed with this information and more, it becomes fairly clear Equals Group are rather more than a “look at us” contender in the payment platform field and instead, the AIM listed company deserve being taken quite seriously.

 

Their share price, trading around 87p at time of writing, enjoyed a +10% day on Tuesday, the price gapped from 80 to 83p at the market open and experiencing a high of 89p during the session. We can now calculate it needs exceed 92p to hopefully trigger further travel to an initial 92p, along with the chance of some slight hesitation. Things become a little less clear with closure above 102p, thanks to our secondary working out at 121p. Our reticence about this target level comes, due to an ability to calculate a longer term third target level at a future 147p, visually matching the all time highs experienced back in 2018.

It’s easy to believe positive news flow will be required to provoke such an impressive series of movements.

 

If everything intends go Boris Shaped, the share price needs below 67p as this risks serious trauma, an initial target of 57p probably being a footnote in history in a downhill charge to a painful 28p bottom eventually.

The exciting Euro STOXX 50 !

#Gold #SP500

Market volumes appear to have gone through the floor for the start of July. Quite literally, the financial value of trades through LSE appear to have dropped 25% in the first couple of days trading this month, far from encouraging, the dip also substantially below fiscal levels for the same period in 2020 and 2021. Goodness knows how the holiday month, August, shall perform. Needless to say, we shall be keeping a weather eye on this, due to low volumes never being associated with a vibrant happy marketplace.

We’ve been asked to include the Euro STOXX 50 in our daily deliberations, but before we start, we opted to take a bigger picture glance at the index. One fair criticism of the Dax and the CAC is the proliferation of trading gaps, making it difficult and dangerous to place ‘fire and forget’ orders on some platforms. Few things are more annoying than a carefully thought out trading scenario being skipped over, due to a market gap appearing for usually unknown reasons. The STOXX 50 certainly appears less infected by trading gaps, this being a primary reason why some traders are apparently switching from Germany and France.

 

One thing which immediately managed a “sore thumb” impersonation was a series of market movements on the chart, just as June drizzled to a close. We’re always a little interested, when something breaks below an established uptrend as it’s often a pretty sane early warning signal of coming trauma. The converse can often prove equally true and the Stoxx50 managed it in glorious technocolour. On the 27th and 28th of June, the index poked above the uptrend, yet failed to actually close above Red.

The two chart insets below show what happened, quite clearly advising anyone paying attention this Red uptrend in important and the market is aware of it. The care with which the market ensured the index was not permitted to close a session in safety is extremely interesting, almost promising future closure above Red shall be a pretty safe indicator of coming gains. However, if we toss our suspicions to the side, the immediate prospects are not encouraging.

Now below 3430 points risks triggering some painful reversals, threatening a cycle down to an initial 3030 points. Should such a level break, our ‘longer term’ secondary works out at 2621 points and hopefully a solid bottom. Unfortunately, visually each target level makes quite a lot of sense.

 

Our alternate is a little easier on the eye, the index needing above 3490 to hopefully trigger a cycle of surprise gains to an initial 3662 points with secondary, if exceeded, calculating at a game changing (for the longer term) 3790 points. We suspect the Stoxx50 shall prove interesting as currently, the index doesn’t ‘feel’ like it wants to go down. Unfortunately, the market has also placed itself in a position, where world events can force swift reversals while the index loiters below Red on the chart.

Lloyds Bank, driven like a BMW?

#Brent #Dax 

The UK retail banks are still driving us crackers. It’s as if their share prices are being driven a BMW driver in the middle lane of a motorway approaching a turn lane. Everyone knows the BMW is going to do something, the only problem is what? Will it suddenly veer left without indicating or accelerate right, again without indicating. Perhaps it will indicate left, then accelerate right!

 

We constantly run scenario which monitor near term movements in the hope of getting a clue. Essentially, should a share price move a bit further in a specific direction than expected, this is often a reliable clue of a coming change, telling us which direction we’re best focussing on. A “funny” example of this nonsense came three weeks ago, where Lloyds had a pretty certain criteria pointing at coming reversal to 41.4p. But when the criteria triggered, the lowest the share price fell was to 41.52p. While the miss by 0.12p may appear inconsequential, perhaps this is a small clue which suggests hidden strength with Lloyds, the share price proving mildly protected from triggering greater reversals.

It’s a theory, one which often proves itself correct.

On this basis, if by 12/100ths of a penny Lloyds is opting to conceal hidden strength, we can calculate perhaps above just 43.72p shall not provide sufficient excuse to invest in a single party popper. At time of writing, the share is trading around 42.27p, so it hasn’t got far to go.

Above 43.72p calculates with the potential of a gain in the direction of 44.7 next with secondary, if exceeded, a slightly more interesting 46.4p. While these gains are visually fairly tame, importantly they exceed the immediate downtrend, challenge existing glass ceiling levels, and quite surprisingly, place the share price in a zone where “surprise” acceleration to a future 58p abruptly makes a degree of sense for the future.

 

Of course, there’s an alternate scenario we need consider.

What if Lloyds share price is driven by our mythical BMW pilot, opting to indicate right while veering to the left for the exit lane! Or in plain English, behaves just like a real share price in the UK stock market. We’re going to play relatively safe here, suggesting below 41.4p will not prove traumatic, breaking the Red uptrend since the pandemic low of 2020. Movement such as this risks triggering reversal to an initial 40.2p with secondary, when broken, at 38.2p and hopefully a proper bounce, if only due to sufficient number of folk assuming the price must rebound when it matches the “Russia Drop” of earlier this year. From a bigger picture perspective, we fear this would not be the case as a solid argument exists demanding it bounce from 32.5p eventually, should this scenario come to fruition.

 

Lloyds Bank, considerably less exciting than the British Grand Prix was! And there wasn’t a single BMW involved in the race…

FTSE for FRIDAY & RippleUSD Thoughts

#FTSE #Gold 

As the daily massacre of crypto currency appears to be continuing, our chum who once enjoyed a substantial belief in Ripple has raised an eyebrow, asking for an update. Last time we glanced at Ripple, we finished with a throwaway comment giving criteria for reversal to 0.40. Currently, it’s around 0.32 which is pretty close to his original entry level…

 

Strangely, a few days ago, Ripple hit a logical bottom level and, while it hasn’t exactly bounced with conviction, there is slight hope the 0.28 level “may” prove to be a floor level. Since reversing to such a point, the price has certainly gyrated just above the floor but has neither recovered nor broken the floor. Maybe it’s a ‘fingers crossed’ moment as we’re seeing similar behaviour with Bitcoin and Ethereum. Of course, there’s always the risk the cryptocurrency market is awaiting a magical point, when it will decided everyone is convinced bottom is “in”, enacting a gotcha drop immediately thereafter. Certainly, with Bitcoin, sufficient argument remains threatening a final plunge to the 10,000 dollar level.

But we’re a little sceptical, ‘cos it’s all getting a little too obvious.

In the event Ripple does manage below 0.28 (or close a session below 0.308), further reversal to 0.208 looks possible with secondary, if broken, at 0.151 and hopefully an ultimate bottom, due to us being unable to calculate below such a point.

 

However, if our suspicion proves correct regarding the 0.28 level, Ripple need only exceed 0.37 to light the first spark of hope. This should apparently trigger movement to an initial 0.561 with secondary, if beaten, a more useful 0.735.

 

FTSE for FRIDAY (FTSE:UKX) Last night, I watched something strange happening. A moth was fluttering around, utterly directionless like the FTSE, when suddenly it dropped and flew directly to some yellow flowers growing in the garden. These flowers are generally awash with bees and wasps during the day, going about their business collecting nectar. The moth, illuminated by garden floodlights, behaved in exactly the same fashion as a bee, fluttering from bloom to bloom. For some reason, I’d always though moths existed solely on the shrieks of women, anxious not to gather one in her hair!

This, obviously, has everything to do with the FTSE as the unexpected can happen at any time…

The chart inset below is quite fascinating, from our perspective. Despite the FTSE experiencing a truly awful Thursday, it emulated the moth by deciding to visit the uptrend which it had broken during the day. But curiously, almost as if it were intended, the FTSE did not close the session below the uptrend. As a result, our immediate inclination is not to anticipate July starting with a 1st of the month massacre. Instead, above 7193 points looks capable of triggering surprise recovery to an initial 7257 points with secondary, if exceeded, calculating at 7298 points. At risk of being ‘a tease’, there’s a curious phenomena shaping up which also suggests above 7298 risks provoking a further recovery cycle to 7551 points sometime in the future.

 

If everything intends go horribly wrong, below 7110 has the potential to inflict some real trouble, calculating with the risk of reversal to 7090 points with secondary, if broken at 6985 points.

Tesco, sailing in the doledrums

#Gold #Nasdaq  

A weekly yacht race takes place across the sea loch, here in our bit of Argyll. Some weeks (vanishingly few), the ‘race’ can prove less than interesting to watch, the die-hards refusing to concede an utter lack of wind and instead, being carried in whatever direction the tide is running. We fear Tesco share price faces a similar future as currently there’s very little wind filling its sails.

 

At present, trading around 258p, Tesco share price needs move above 264p to give hope of some gains as we can calculate the potential of this triggering an initial visit to 271p with secondary, if exceeded, working out at 279p. A glance at the chart below makes our lack of enthusiasm pretty simple to explain. Neither target price appears capable of creating any sort of high, above the market peaks of 2022. Instead, a picture forms of a share trapped in the doledrums until a creative change comes along to force movement of strength.

Should this vision of real life prove correct, there’s a serious risk of the “if it ain’t goin’ up, it’s goin’ down” theory kicking in.

Tesco need only trade below 249p to enter the early stages of significant discounting on their share price as we can calculate the risk of this triggering reversal to an initial 227p. On the chart, such a target even makes some sense, matching the uptrend since 2016. A reversal such as this is liable to prove significant, due to weakness below 227p calculating with the potential of ongoing reversal to 204p, placing the share price in a region where a long term reversal cycle to 157p becomes possible.

However, the visuals on the chart tend suggest a bounce, should 204p make an appearance.

 

Similar to our weekly yacht race, perhaps Tesco are not worth watching closely but perhaps worthy of an occasional glance, just in case something happens and some of our parameters trigger.
