#FreeFutures This year, Formula 1 has proven quite vibrant, less processional than recent years, and even Ferrari are looking more interesting. Obviously, the marque doesn’t have a chance of winning any titles but it’s nice to see the red cars ‘up there’. Despite a suspicion the current leader for the drivers title, Red Bull, shall be discovered to be secretly interpreting rules to suit themselves, Ferrari remain trailing at just 4th place in the constructors standings.

However, the car manufacturer appear to be suffering a share price which is doing very nicely! Perhaps this confirms the theory of Ferrari making their best road cars, when their racing team is doing poorly. The company last won a world championship in 2007 but their shares, traded in New York, continue to go from strength to strength.

The immediate situation is quite positive, suggesting movement next above $238 should make an attempt at an initial confident $245. If exceeded, we can calculate the potential of a longer term visit to $257. For everything to go into reverse, the share price needs slip below $204 as this permits reversal an initial $191 with secondary, if broken, at $175 and an almost certain bounce.

FTSE for FRIDAY It has been a pretty painful week, the UK market  enjoying a range of just 60 ish points over 4 days. As we enter the Halloween weekend, should we suspect a major fright is awaiting to panic traders? There is a detail worthy of consideration. Our report last Friday provided a target of 7275 points. On both Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, the index achieved 7280 points, marginally above our target level and giving a reasonable reserve of hope for what’s coming next.

Above 7281 points now suggests coming strength to an initial 7354 points. If bettered, our secondary calculates at 7425 points. An interesting (from our perspective) detail relates to the recent period of relative hiatus, while on an upward cycle. Quite often, things change pretty fast with sharp upward movements over a period of days. While it’s the case the FTSE needs trouble the 7500 point, just to challenge the market level, pre-pandemic, arguments are accumulating supporting such a potential.

 

If everything intends go a little bit wrong, the FTSE needs below 7210 points to risk triggering reversal to an initial 7156 points. If broken, we can work out the risk of a secondary at 7082 points, hopefully with a solid bounce.

As always, many thanks to those who find worthwhile adverts to visit on this page.

#BrentFutures #WallSt There’s a golden rule about downtrends. Always draw the line through the high of the day. Equally, with uptrends, draw the line through the low of the day. All perfectly simple and unfortunately, sometimes utterly wrong. MGC currently exhibit a fascinating downtrend, one which makes very little sense as it fails to conform to ‘the rules’.

Since September, the share price has been declining in a steady, painful, manner with each day inflicting yet another little cut in the price. It can be difficult to believe this behaviour is due to conventional trading logic, especially as a glance at the price trend reveals something unusual. Reversals conform to a Closing Price trend, ignoring the highs and lows of the day. On the sessions of 15th and 18th October (circled), this behaviour was painfully obvious as the chart inset below shows. The share price, quite literally, run exactly at the level of the trend for those two sessions and out of curiosity, we backtracked the trend line to discover it commenced on February 18th, not at the high of the day (9.275p) but instead, at the day closing price of 7.43p.

From our perspective, this both warns us to dampen expectations for the future but also, gives a pretty solid clue as to the point when the share price can be regarded as starting recovery. Should the market permit the share to actually close a session above this Blue line, some real hope becomes possible as the market indicates the downtrend is no longer valid. Hopefully!

For now, it appears weakness below 2.55 should head toward 2.3p next, ideally this proving to be a point capable of justifying a bounce. Our secondary, should the share manage to close below 2.3p is pretty concerning, an ultimate bottom of 1.3p.

Should the cannabis focussed company intend display some strength, above 2.95p should prove significant, calculating with the potential of recovery to an initial 4.1p. If exceeded, our longer term secondary works out at a less comfortable 5p

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

#FTSE #Nasdaq As one of a generation who grew up, eagerly hoping for an Airfix model kit at Xmas, there were a few areas where close attention needed paid. The glue which came with the kits especially needed time to dry, there being few things more irritating than a plane leaning drunkenly on a sagging set of wheels. The ultimate crime usually surfaced with the wings and flaps, especially as a bad joint was almost impossible to fix invisibly.

 

During one of the documentaries, showing how great the Airbus A380 was to be, it was boasted about the amazing weight savings achieved by gluing the wings on to the body of the monstrosity. Personally, this provoked a ‘Wait, What?’ moment. You glue wings onto children’s toy aircraft but in commercial aviation, surely only nuts and bolts could be safe. Preferably really big nuts and bolts, along with screws and other conventional methods of attaching important bits to an airframe.

While adulthood brings an understanding of how glue is best used, childhood memories of building an Airfix Boeing 747 and fighting to ensure the tail flaps remained intact, thanks to the glue drying too fast remained. A personal ‘memo to self’, never fly an Airbus A380 was sent. In fact, any aircraft made by Airbus tend be avoided, thanks to a (justifiable) fear of flying. Last time I was in one of their products, a landing at Bristol proved quite memorable due to the thing skidding on the runway.

In other words, approaching Airbus share price, a degree of personal bias exists and it’s not in a favourable way.

 

The immediate situation looks a little dangerous, the share price risking coming unglued should it now manage below 107€. Currently trading around 110€, the price doesn’t need work hard to hit the trigger level as movement below 107 calculates with the potential of reversal to an initial 97€. If broken, our secondary works out at 85€ and hopefully a proper bounce. There is a danger, below the 85 Euro level of an ultimate bottom calculating down at 70€, this being a level we cannot calculate below without starting to employ minus signs!

Thankfully, the price doesn’t need much work to climb above this level of misery. In the event the share now manages to close a session above 118.5€, some miracles appear possible as growth to an initial 145 becomes possible. If exceeded, our secondary calculates at 159€ and a new all time high for the plane-makers price.

Unfortunately, for now we suspect patience shall be required. It feels like reversal to 85 should be expected.

France, the CAC40 Index. (EU:PX1)

It took a low flying Chinook helicopter to initiate a classic ‘just stop & think’ moment. Determined to ensure grand-daughters enjoy their next visit, time spent on Youtube discovering how to make bottle rockets from 2ltr coke bottles had revealed something more interesting. The girls already enjoy target shooting and what could be better than aiming a crossbow at a plastic bottle target, a hit making a successful ‘kaboom’ and the bottle vanishes in a mist of water.

Apparently, inflating a 2ltr bottle, half filled with water, to a pressure of 30 pounds per square inch (psi), would give the desired result. Obviously, it was important to build a practice rig and as the massive Chinook flew overhead, I was nervously watching a Pepsi bottle making ominous creaks and groans while the compressor bravely pumped away. As it achieved 10 psi, wondering why we’ve been buzzed by military hardware on several occasions recently, a little alarm bell rung. The nearby city of Glasgow is about to host a major Climate Conference, world leaders are attending, the military will be keeping a weather eye on everything. And meanwhile, I was about to conduct a very loud experiment designed to impress a 10 year old firing a crossbow.  Needless to say, as the Climate Conference kicks off this weekend, the girls will attending a local softplay, walking the dog, and generally trying to avoid anything which sounds like an serious explosion. The collection of empty plastic bottles were placed in the green recycling bin, just as Boris Johnston announced this was also a waste of time…

 

The above, obviously, has nothing to do with France, other than the fact their countries leadership shall be in Glasgow for this Climate jamboree. Oh, and the rather important detail the CAC40 is looking fairly positive at the moment. The index finally exceeded the pre-pandemic level back in April (the FTSE still isn’t close) and has performed pretty strongly since. Despite some recent questionable behaviour, we suspect France intends continue growth. Already, the index has challenged its previous all time high of 6928 points back in 2001, achieving 6914 points this August. Perhaps this imaginary “Double Top” shall be blamed for causing hesitation but with a 20 year hiatus between the highs, we have doubts. According to our software, the CAC40 needs reverse below 6230 before any dip must be taken seriously.

Instead, the index only requires above 6800 points to suggest Big Picture influences shall exert themselves, calculating with a cycle to an initial 7350 points. If bettered, our longer term secondary works out at 7591 points and we emphatically would expect hesitation at such a level.

 

To visit the dark side, the index needs below 6230 points. Movement such as this works out with a reversal potential to an initial 5973 with secondary, if broken, at 5654 points. Perhaps more painfully, reversal such as this risks fouling up all Big Picture calculations, forcing us back to the drawing board.

#Brent_Crude #Dax Fuel prices in the UK continue to explore new highs, a fact brought sharply home when filling a couple of cans of diesel for our little tractor. The thing has a spiteful fuel tank, pretending to run out of fuel when below 5 ltrs. This only happens when cutting the lawn from left to right, otherwise it’s fine heading up and down. The lawn, you see, slopes and few things are more irritating than spluttering to a halt with a fuel gauge reading 1/4 full. Maybe this winter will be the one when I remember to reposition the fuel valve…

The price to fill the two diesel cans was nearly 15 quid. When I last filled the cans earlier this year, I remember handing over a 10 pound note and a single 1 pound coin! It’s annoying to report I probably bought fuel for the tractor (grudgingly, surely the last cut of the year) at the lowest and highest prices of 2021. This suspicion is due to the price of Brent Crude. We keep calculating the $86 level as a potential point of hesitation on the current rising cycle. Visually, this is also borne out by the high back in 2018 as there are few things the market likes more than invent a reason for hesitation in price movements. As the chart below highlights, Brent Crude now has every excuse to experience some hesitation, regardless of Big Picture growth characteristics. In the event the product discovers a reason to drip below $77, all bets are off for the longer term.

Barclays Plc (LSE:BARC) As for Barclays, when we reviewed the share 3 weeks ago, we gave criteria for a climb to 198.7p. The share closed Friday at 198.86p, so this ambition can be successfully crossed off. The important detail, from a software perspective, is our initial target was exceeded, creating a set of circumstances where some optimism for the future is possible. Now above 202p looks important, calculating with an initial target level at 216p next. If exceeded, our longer term secondary works out at 222p.

Despite it being true the “Big Picture” now demands we admit a longer term 240p should be regarded as the driving hope, our inclination is for caution, simply due to the retail banks dreadful performance in the last 7 years. Our real problem surfaces, if we concede the share is entering a true recovery cycle, thanks to the Big Picture also giving a target above 240p as an astounding leap to 407p.

If Barclays opts to explore reasons to destroy hope, the share price needs move below 161p. Ideally, the share should now only need infinite patience, world peace, universal health, and competent UK governments. Perhaps ‘infinite patience’ shall be a realistic hope.

Our thanks to the nice people who effectively “buy us a coffee” by discovering adverts on this page worthy of a visit.

#FTSE #GOLD A probably unhealthy addiction to Google statistics continues, primarily driven by the fact the 2nd greatest number of visitors to our website in the last week apparently came from China. Each visitor remained for less than a second! Whereas folk from the UK average 47 minutes on site, Singapore 31 minutes, and even the Maldives taking 12 minutes on average browsing, per visitor. Thankfully, the nice folk from Reunion Island remain on our list of international visitors.

The China puzzle is a real head scratcher as Google doesn’t count ‘bots’. Perhaps our negative mention of China Evergrande a few weeks merited attention but we note trading in the company shares has now been suspended, probably one of the least surprising market movements recently. Obviously, there is a risk of this impacting the markets again.

 

This week on the FTSE could be fairly described as boring, the market comprehensively failing to show direction with a trading range of around 50 points. It almost feels like the market has been in shock at achieving a new high since the pandemic plunge of March last year. We’d hoped the “surge” to 7244 a week ago would be significant, inspiring confidence in the marketplace. But unfortunately, the last 4 sessions were utterly lame and lacking in any commitment.

If we opt to fear the worst, the FTSE needs fall below 7156 points to justify some slight near term concern. We can calculate the potential of this triggering reversals to an initial 7116 points with secondary, if broken, at a painful looking 7048 points. If triggered, the tightest stop loss level looks like a tempting 7186 points, almost too tight to be trusted given the reversal potentials.

More likely, we suspect movements above 7216 points should prove interesting, calculating with a fairly useless potential of 7232 points. If bettered, our secondary is a more alluring 7275 points and yet another high for the period since last years pandemic drop.

Have a good weekend. Here in Scotland, we’ve had the first snow of winter, along with the first frosts!

Again, a massive thank-you to those who find adverts on the page of sufficient interest to visit. We appreciate the top-up to the coffee fund!

Our previous report on ITM in November 2019 has proven quite extraordinary. We’d the courage to show some future targets on the illustrative charts but opted to “bottle it” in the text. To be honest, the only thing which permitted movement from 80p to 248p was a calculation, rather than any specific chart logic. Not only did the price reach 248p, it was gapped above this level in 2020 and somehow made its way to 724p eventually!

 

We had been impressed at the company technological Hydrogen Cell base and it certainly appears the market was equally fascinated. However, on the chart below, we’ve circled something which bothers us a little. Since March 2020, there has been a pretty solidly defined uptrend and earlier this month, the share price briefly spiked below the uptrend. As we’ve mentioned previously, this sort of one session event can often be taken as a warning signal, the market essentially broadcasting the uptrend cannot be trusted.

If this is indeed the case, weakness next below 356p risks promoting trouble, allowing reversal to an initial 231p with secondary, if broken, calculating at a bottom of 155p. Visually, there are plenty of arguments favouring a bounce at the 231p level.

 

Perhaps we’re being too negative, reading too much into whatever happened on October 6th!

 

Presently trading around 442p, the share price now needs exceed 479p as this, allegedly, should trigger price recovery to 580p. If playing safe, waiting until the share price closes above Blue (currently 504p), should make some sense. Our longer term secondary, should 580p be exceeded, works out at 676p. The chart visuals suggest some hesitation at such a level.

Yet again, serious thanks to the folk who find adverts on this page so interesting. Google certainly seem to do their job, publishing decent content to ensure we’re kept in coffee!

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.

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.
