Rolls Royce reaching ignition point?

#FTSE #WallSt Rolls Royce share price movements are surprisingly boring, despite the company being discussed repeatedly for their recovery potentials, assuming the pandemic ever finishes. Some aviation analysts suggest by 2023 we should see aircraft return to pre-pandemic flight levels, surely a good thing for the engine maker. Additional news of the company actively exploring locations for their a nuclear reactor factory again should be creating interest.

There’s certainly something quite attractive at the concept of nuclear submarine class of reactor becoming active. In fact, if the easy route was taken and a UK’s nuclear sub moored on The Thames outside Westminster, Boris could be the first world leader to have his own ‘party sub’. However, the company share price has remained pretty stable for the last couple of years, doubtless reflecting they don’t get paid for their engines unless the aircraft are actually flying.

 

Rolls Royce share price started last year at 112p, eventually reaching a high of 150 before retreated, currently trading around 117p. Visually it’s not a pretty picture and we are trying to identify a comfortable trigger level, above which the share will find it difficult to avoid growing.

At present, above 126.5p looks quite important, our software claiming moves above this point at being capable of provoking a cycle to an initial 136p with secondary, if bettered, a slightly more useful 147p. The picture on the chart is one of almost certain hesitation at the secondary target level, given it matches the highs of last year. Only with closure above 147p shall we dare express real optimism as such a movement would be a pretty confident nudge in the right direction, taking the share price above Blue on the chart, the downtrend since 2018, and ticking a pretty major box in a movement cycle toward an eventual 235p.

 

For now, the only major fly in the ointment comes from a price movement last week, one which saw the share price dip below Red on the chart to 111p. If this was an early warning of impending trouble, below 111p now calculates with the potential of reversal to an initial 99p with secondary, if broken, at 69p and hopefully a solid bouncy bottom.

THG Plc and running for the hills?

#Gold #SP500 We managed to waste everyone’s time with our review of THG last October. We’d identified a trigger level for a miracle recovery at 369p but alas, the best the share achieved was 362p with the price falling faster than the UK PM’s credibility since. We’ve had a few emails asking us to update our view and there are a few details now worthy of serious consideration.

With international lockdowns easing, along with a likelihood of reduced earnings for on-line organisations, the company didn’t impart confidence to the market by announcing profit margins for 2021 would be below expectations, along with a comment regarding 2022 being more challenging, when compared to the same period in 2021. While this is essentially confirming everyone knows what a bears toilet habits in the woods are, the market continues to be less than impressed.

However, the company also complain they’ve been the target of a “pretty aggressive short attack” and claim to have presented a dossier to the FCA, an organisation well known for protecting investors and ensuring share prices don’t suffer. Said no-one ever. But from our perspective, the share price now finds itself in a ridiculous position, one fraught with danger.

 

The Big Picture had a major problem at 248p. Our software cannot calculate an “ultimate bottom” below such a level and by November last year, the share price broke below. As a result, from a Big Picture perspective, we’re supposed to report the share is on track to minus 25p, obviously impossible and also unlikely given the brief period the company has been listed. But for a share which was trading above 8 quid last year, the fall from grace has been quite vile.

From an immediate perspective, below 118p risks a visit to 98p, perhaps a level from which a bounce can be hoped but it must be remembered we cannot now calculate a bottom.

 

If there’s going to be any kind of miracle, the share (presently trading around 130p) needs exceed 142p to ideally trigger some gains in the direction of an initial 159p. If bettered, we can calculate a surprisingly confident looking 179p as our secondary. At this level, things become quite strange as we can currently provide a third target level of 230p. This is also pretty close to the maximum drop target we’d previously wondered about and visually, there’s certainly an implication of a waiting glass ceiling, should such a target level make a guest appearance in the future.

We suspect this shall probably end up experiencing some sort of bounce before the 98p level appears.

Is it time for Barclays?

#Brent_Futures #DAX Few things are less fun than writing something, while ensuring the document be saved every sentence. It’s that fun time of the year, here on the west coast of Scotland, when 80mph winds are expected and the power is playing silly games. Unfortunately, the biggest disaster shall come, if the electricity goes down. The microwave clock will need set again. Whoever designed this simple piece of electronics clearly lied on their CV.

Perhaps they actually intended join a mime act, giving micro waves to the audience with their pinky. To adjust the clock hours requires holding a button while turning the timer dial. But to adjust the minutes, you press the button twice, then tap another button repeatedly. My partner was frustrated at my irritation, announcing she’d look at it. Twenty minutes later, she flounced angrily back into the lounge, the clock remaining at flashing zero’s. Quite why designers feel the need to build a clock into every electrical item is a puzzle. It’s a case of “just because you can doesn’t mean you should” as a power cut means resetting the oven clock, the dishwasher clock, the fridge clock, the heating clock, and of course the sodding microwave.

 

What has all this to do with Barclays? I’ve absolutely no idea. The power went down for a while and I’ve utterly lost the elegant analogy which was supposed to impress readers, so now I’ve several unpleasant jobs to look forward to. The first one, obviously, is finding something interesting to say about Barclays share price. The second unpleasant job is setting all these annoying electronic clocks.

 

Three weeks ago, when we reviewed Barclays, we gave an initial target of 218p. The share price, for a pleasant change, managed to perform in adherence to our imaginary rules, reaching 219p on the initial surge but crucially, the share failed to close above 217.1p. Perhaps some growth is indeed coming, just not right now apparently. We actually are fairly optimistic for the future but suspect some near term reversals can be expected.

Near term, below 193p looks capable of driving traffic down to 187p. If broken, our secondary calculates at a less likely 182p. We’ve deemed 182p as “less likely” simply due to this taking the price below the immediate Red uptrend. This risks being a dangerous movement, taking the share into a region where arguments start to accumulate favouring eventual reversal to 159p. Instead, we’d hope for a bounce, should 187p make an appearance.

For things to start looking interesting for Barclays, the share price presently needs exceed the previous high of 219.6p as we now expect movement to 230p fairly soon thereafter. Our secondary, if such a level is exceeded, now works out at 241p but for those blessed with patience, the share price shall find itself in a region where we can mention a distant 292p without giggling.

Our famed FTSE for Friday

#FTSE_Futures FTSE:UKX January has certainly proved interesting, the UK market experiencing an unheard of 350 point range. Unheard of, unless you take the time to examine 2021 when this was matched 6 times! Numerically, it wasn’t such a big deal but despite media behaving like a circle of feral school kids yelling “fight, fight” over the Russia thing, the FTSE felt quite vibrant.

We believe this a positive attitude relates to the UK index finally exceeding Blue on the chart, along with finally bettering the high pre-Covid, as both signals tended boost other markets worldwide, when they exceeded these levels in 2020 and 2021. It’s already the case the Russia reversal of just a week ago has corrected, the market feeling like “oops, we over-reacted”, giving an interesting suggestion we should anticipate 8121 points as the level at which we should next anticipate real FTSE volatility.

 

From a near term perspective, it appears above 7598 points should next make an attempt at 7638 next with secondary, if bettered, at 7700 points. If triggered, the tightest stop is apparently quite wide at 7540 points.

Our alternate reversal scenario requires the UK to stumble below 7492 points. Such a triggering event risks reversals to 7452 with secondary, if broken, at 7402 points. At present, the FTSE needs break below Blue (7370 points) to justify hysterics as some quite nasty reversals could be anticipated thereafter. Visually, it appears unlikely.

 

Have a good weekend. 52 days until the next Grand Prix…

Vestas Wind Systems about to blow?

#Brent #WallSt With the Scottish Government recently selling off seabed rights for windfarms, accepting the international equivalent of some coloured beads and mirror fragments in payment, we were inevitably reminded of another Scot, Gordon Brown, famously selling the UK’s Gold Reserves at the bottom of the gold market. However, a look at Vestas, industry leader in turbine manufacture was warranted as it appears another market is about to open for them.

In addition, it’s blooming windy here in Argyll tonight with gusts above 50mph, justifying nervous looks at a dead oak tree in the garden.

Danish company, Vestas Wind Systems, look like a difficult share to buy, despite being listed on Spread Bet platforms and traded on the Nasdaq Copenhagen. Our review of their share price is in Danish Krone with the current exchange rate roughly at 1 Krone equalling 11p .

 

Our enthusiasm for a potential supplier to the lucky recipients of Scottish seabed has been somewhat tempered by a glance at their share price history for the6 months. The price has been pretty static, the company complained at raw material costs, along with the inevitable supply chain delays, an issue which seems far wider than just the UK with its self inflicted Brexit problems. As the chart shows, the price is currently exploring new lows BUT there’s a reasonable chance it has finally bottomed. We’d a calculation giving 158p as a potential ultimate bottom and with the share hitting 159.5 on Tuesday 26th, we suspect a bounce should prove sustainable.

The immediate downtrend requires the share price to exceed 183.5 to indicate some upward travel is coming. In such a scenario, we anticipate movement to an initial 190 with secondary, if bettered, at 204 and some potential hesitation. It may prove important to remember closure above 190 DKK takes the share into a region where we calculate a longer term 239 as being possible.

Hopefully Vestas shall prove worthy of watching. The share price needs below 158 to justify severe concerns as we cannot calculate lower.

Some Trainline Share Price thoughts

#CAC40 #SP500 Like everyone, we’re keeping a weather eye on shares which should recover, once pandemic damage recedes. Obviously, aviation, holidays, and public travel must be thought of as useful potentials and it’d be true to say many are showing early signs of ‘something’, hopefully  recovering from a bottom but miles away from their pre-pandemic level. Trainline, on the other hand’ still appear to be researching where the price shall actually stop travelling down!

The company low in the pandemic party month of March 2020 (ask Boris), was a closing price of 202p. Currently around 223p, the share is at its lowest since the initial pandemic crash. This inability to find a bottom is obviously an issue, perhaps a reflection of diminished numbers of commuters, perhaps a reflection of the UK’s predatory train ticket pricing. A glance at Google News failed to uncover any immediately obvious reasons for the share price decline, so perhaps this shall be worth some deeper research from anyone trying to buy a “cheap” share.

 

The share price is currently at a level where it “might” bounce but we’re not entirely sold on the idea. Instead, there’s a reasonable chance near term movement below 214p may reach 199p and hopefully, this drop ambition shall prove sufficient to declare itself as a bottom. The big picture is rather less comfortable thanks to a seriously unpleasant detail. When the price broke below Red on the chart, it entered an Big Picture arena where we can calculate an ultimate bottom of -34p. Obviously such a number is impossible but unfortunately, its existence tends give our software hysterics as recovery from near term drop targets will often prove less than enthusiastic.

Our inclination is to simply hope 199p provides a buffer opportunity for The Trainline as weakness below calculates with an initial 164p with secondary 113p, a level from which it almost must rebound. For this reason alone, it’s perhaps worth keeping an eye on.

Presently, Trainline requires exceed Blue (273 at time of writing) before any recovery dare be taken seriously. A movement such as this takes the price into an area where an initial 311p is expected with secondary, if bettered, a longer term visit to 344p and some pretty confident looking hesitation.

The FTSE Risers: Vodafone Group Plc & Unilever too.

#Gold #FTSE There were a couple of standout performers on Monday 24 January, a day which was pretty foul thanks to Russia/Ukraine speculation. At one point, the cynic within wondered if Vodafone were doing well, due to the prospect of enhanced roaming charges due to various country military jumping around Europe. The cause of the share price movement proved fairly boring in comparison, essentially Merger & Acquisition speculation.

The share price closed the session up by 4.5% at 122.86p and appears ready to attempt further movement. Ongoing travel above just 126p now looks capable of gains to an initial 131p with secondary, if exceeded, a more interesting 140p eventually. Glancing at the chart, the visuals imply hesitation can be anticipated at our 140p level as this has presented itself as a glass ceiling level since 2020. The turmoil in the markets, of course, may intrude but given the behaviour of the futures markets on Monday evening, we think the FTSE should experience some recovery near term, hopefully creating an environment where Vodafone can continue to experience some share price recovery.

 

It’s worth noting Vodafone share price has remained firmly below the pre-pandemic high of 155p. While true excitement must be restrained until such a level is exceeded, doubtless along with world peace, Covid eradication, and the UK leadership opting to stop their party’s in Downing St, we’d be inclined to regard closure above the 140p Glass Ceiling as being potentially game changing for Vodafone. The strength of reversals since 2018 has created an environment where sharp price recovery to 220p calculates as possible.

Vodafone share price requires below 108p to force us to re-examine its potentials.  Visually we’re fairly optimistic.

As for Unilever, this experienced an incredible Monday, somehow managing to catapult itself above the Red uptrend. As a result, ongoing traffic above 4055p has the potential of recovery to an initial 4415p with secondary, if bettered, a more pleasing 4910p.

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.
