#FTSE #CAC40 We previously reviewed Cellular Goods a couple of weeks ago, the share price taking just 4 sessions to reach our initial target 7p. But then, despite exceeding the 7p level with an early lunge to 8.4p, the price has studiously avoided our secondary of 9.1p. To be honest, we’re not terribly concerned, the company website continuing to show updates with launch dates given. In fairness, exceeding our 7p target and swelling to 8.4p is being regarded as a good thing, ideally a sign of the future.

After all, it’s rare for a price to simply keep moving in a single direction. If that were the case, the market would be no fun, would it?

For now, we suspect the number to watch is around 7.675p, this being the level the share price needs exceed currently to exceed the Blue downtrend on the chart. An event such as this apparently calculates with the potential of further movement to 8.65p next. Our ‘longer term’ secondary is debateable, thanks to an absurd logic we employ in-house. Essentially, if the recent surge to 8.4p was “simply” our 7p target being exceeded, we should now give 10.6p as a viable secondary. However, if the surge to 8.4p indicated the share lacking strength to reach 9.1p, then 9.1p must be regarded as the next target. The scenario is a bit of a head-scratcher but, in the absence of negative news flow, we remain optimistic.

 

As always, there’s another side of the coin. Presently trading around 6.9p, the share needs weaken below 5.8p to give pause for concern  This is not an enjoyable picture, introducing the threat of ongoing weakness to 4.8p and a new low.

 

Yet again, our thanks to those who find adverts on this page fascinating and informative. It buys the coffee

#Gold #SP500 Unsurprisingly, both TUI & Boohoo featured in our email requests. Boohoo, despite online retailers achieving success, currently enjoy a share price just 50% below its high this year. While TUI, desperate to repay the German Govt loans and raising capital, celebrated tourist travel restarting, with a share price 45% below its high of 2021. Neither share presents a pretty picture for the future.

 

As aspect of Tui which is worth paying slight attention to is the little red circle on the chart. When the market opted to gap the share price down, there was a pretty strong suggestion the Red uptrend since the pandemic low of last year was still in charge. This is one of the first things we check, when price manipulation such as this occurs. It’s fairly useful if we’re given a clue as to where a trend actually is as it allows us to extrapolate potential movements. In the case of TUI, the implication is of weakness continuing below 268 threatening reversal to 229 with secondary, if broken, at a hopeful bottom of 211p. In plain English, our suggestion is of the share price still being capable of some relaxation but hopefully bottom shall not be too distant.

Their share needs ascend fairly steeply, needing above 358 to suggest happy days are ahead, this apparently capable of triggering a cycle to 419p. Above this level, we shall prefer ‘running the numbers’ again.

With Boohoo, we’d previously expressed dismay at the online retailer experiencing remarkable success in bucking an upward trend which other online companies have enjoyed. Their Lockdown period recovery started off well. And now, has fallen apart. We find ourselves in the ridiculous position of being forced to mention the lowest we can calculate is 65p. We cannot work out a number below such a dreadful level.

The immediate situation is troubling. When we previously reviewed Boohoo back in July, we proposed a scenario with reversal to 198p, hopeful this would present a “bottom” for the troubled share price. A few days ago, the price cheerfully ignored our calculations and simply kept nudging downward. Presently at 185p, we’re not optimistic for the future as below just 178p suggests ongoing weakness coming to an initial 141p. Normally we’d hope for a rebound at such a level, especially as it virtually matches the pandemic low of March 2020. However, should 141p break, bottom works out at 121p with recovery threatening to be a confused process.

For Boohoo to even regain the immediate downtrend, the share price requires exceed 265p to give hope. In doing so, we can calculate a cycle commencing to 393p eventually.

As ever, our thanks to those who buy us a coffee, every time an advert on this page proves interesting.

#Brent #Dax Holes in Emmental cheese are caused by milking cows with hiccups! One of the funnier things about grandchildren is being able to deliver the occasional verbal bomb, utterly unaware when it will go off. Avoiding cliches like; ‘candlestick patterns are real’ or ‘you can rely on moving averages’ is an easy proposition, little girls are simply not interested. What I didn’t know until recently is their mum interrogates them subtly, on their return.

 

Apparently our daughter didn’t find it funny, the day she corrected a ski guide on how mogul fields form on a mountain. Her perfectly logical explanation of rocks deposited in a previous ice age not retaining heat from the sun, whereas warmer ancient volcanic rocks on the same mountainside ensured snow would cover the slope unevenly, creating the mounds of snow much loved by some skiers. I’d given her this explanation when she was around 12 years old and six years later, was able to deliver a ‘fact’ from her pool of incorrect knowledge.

Hopefully the Emmental cheese story survives as it conjures up delicious mental images. After all, a belief in candlestick patterns or moving averages remains a thing, despite a daily plethora of evidence to the contrary!

 

As for Natwest, when we reviewed the share three weeks ago, our criteria suggests above 217p should propel the price to 225p next. This thankfully proved correct but we’ve a slight concern regarding the initial surge to 225p. The first two sessions where this target was achieved (29 & 30th Sept), the share steadfastly refused to actually close at or above 225p, instead opting for 224.6p and 224.9p as the close on the day. In the period since, there has been a slight reversal and now, obviously, the share price has closed above 225p on several occasions. In addition, it’s now flaffing around at the price level prior to the pandemic drop in 2020, this being something we should regard as encouraging, if we use the model of other world markets as an indicator.

Unfortunately, the last week has seen the FTSE remaining remarkably resilient despite other world index’s retreating, making us wonder if some common ground shall be discovered as perhaps world markets heated up too fast, while the FTSE failed to make it out of the deep freeze.

 

For Natwest, the updated picture now suggests strength above 227.5p should next enter a cycle toward 233p next. With closure above 233p, it should prove difficult to avoid a path opening up to 250p sometime in the future. The share price needs CLOSE a session below 219p to scupper our optimism and, to cause outright panic, trade below 208p.

Our thanks to the nice folk who find adverts on this page worthy of checking out. It buys the morning coffee!

#Gold #FTSE

Someone emailed an interesting question; There’s an ongoing effort attempting to make Bitcoin the ‘new Gold’ in terms of perceived value. For time immemorial, Gold has been the favoured place of safety for money. After all, no matter what, there’s still Gold. Suspecting this effort is doomed to failure, the question was simple. Can we identify the level at which ‘the last straw’ breaks for Bitcoin?

 

It’s a fairly understandable stance, one which makes more sense than our own dislike for crypto currency. We don’t like it, simply due to the haphazard nature of the crypto marketplace. From our perspective, too often we see movements which appear leveraged against traders.  The immediate situation for Bitcoin (presently trading around $54,600) using conventional arguments, suggests above US $55,800 should make an attempt at the 60,000 level next. If bettered, there’s a heck of a calculation which gives $70,600 as the potential for a new all time high.

What concerns us, should the trigger level be exceeded, is any path to glory is liable to be paved with a few corpses. Bitcoin, similar to other crypto markets, is perfectly capable of throwing fake movements at traders, these bizarre momentary drops intended to trigger sell orders, prior to a movement up. In fact, the other wizard wheeze of a brief high to trigger buy orders, then equally brief reversal to trigger stop loss levels, isn’t an unknown ploy in the crypto market place.

If we stop grinding our axe, we can perhaps answer the question. Where’s the level where Bitcoin risks becoming a lost cause?

 

Visually, anything now below 29,000 dollars would justify extreme levels of concern. This risks triggering reversal to an initial 23,700 with secondary, if (or when) broken, at a bottom around $4,700. To be fair, when we review recent movements, even below $40,000 will provide strong reasons for a very raised eyebrow.

Gold (COMEX:GC) As for Gold, something a bit odd happened a few sessions ago, a circled movement we’re inclined to suspect is providing early warning for coming trouble. The uptrend since March 2020 broke, the price quickly recovering above the trend as the market was clearly not in the mood for a sharp reversal. However, now below 1,727 dollars calculates as capable of reaching down to 1,695. If broken, our secondary works out with a hopeful bottom at $1,620. At present, Gold is feeling a little fragile.

The Friday FTSE (FTSE:UKX) It’s US ‘Non Farm Payrolls Day’ with an apparent expectation of a fall in jobless numbers around 235,000 people. It all kicks of at 13:30 and with the US markets presently treading on egg shells due to China Evergrande, Covid, energy prices, and a nuclear submarine collision in the South China Sea, things could go horribly wrong quite fast.

However, the UK market has been showing surprising strength, closing Thursday at 7083 points. It now need only exceed 7095 points and we should anticipate a climbing cycle to an initial 7145 points. If bettered, we can calculate a secondary at an impressive 7211 points. As always, beware any triggering movement which occurs in the opening seconds of trade. As it’s Payroll Friday, a curved ball should be expected.

Our converse scenario triggers if London manages below 7035 points. Reversal toward 7018 points looks possible with secondary, if broken, at a hopeful bottom of 6995 points.

Again, our thanks to the kind folk who effectively buy us a coffee, when they discover an advert on this page worth a visit.

#DaxFutures #SP500 The social network never appears out of the headlines, usually for the wrong reasons. This week, a service outage tragically was repaired after a few hours. The company owner also featured in The Pandora Papers tax avoidance cache, there is a ‘whistleblower scandal’ and topping things off, UK staff are being given a three month deadline to reduce working from home. We avoid Facebook for none of these reasons, just disliking a service which tends be regarded as ‘always on’ by many devoted users who’re keen on protecting their illusory ‘friends circle’.

 

Rather more important than our distaste of the platform, gathering questions regarding the share price future are appearing in the financial media. Visually, there is certainly cause for concern and it appears a ‘final straw’ trigger level is making itself known. Below US $320 looks very capable of triggering reversal to an initial $291. As the chart below highlights, this will represent a lower low since the Red trend break. Such an event, therefore, takes the price into a region where below $291 looks like provoking further ongoing reversals to $220.

We can calculate below such a level for the longer term but such a target level effectively matches the share price highs, pre-pandemic. As a result, should such a frightening drop occur, there’s a strong argument favouring a bounce if this $220 target ever actually appears. We should be quite cynical about these potentials, thanks to the potential stop loss level of just $335. The markets are rarely quite as generous to traders!

If we chose to review a miracle gain scenario, above $335 calculates with a movement up to $367. If exceeded, our secondary works out at an eventual $377, along with probable hesitation.

#BrentFutures #Japan Guilty secrets come in all forms. A personal one was the Harry Potter audio book series, magnificently read by Jim Dale (of Carry On fame!), capable of making time in hospital less tedious. When a client emailed us about Zinnwald Lithium, it struck a chord as surely there was a character with a similar surname in the books.

There wasn’t very similar… It was Grindlewald, mentioned briefly in the final book of the series but the focus of the latest attempt to milk the franchise, “Fantastic Beasts”.

However, the other part of the company name, “Lithium”, still attracted our interest. As someone living in the country, an occasional garden bonfire is needed. Few things spice a bonfire up better than the effect of a completely forgotten lithium battery, when dumping the office bin contents to assist the hedge cuttings igniting. This, recent experience, was rather more than just a little battery from a mobile phone. Instead, it was an 18 volt device which proved, quite energetically, why the warning label about careful disposal exists. Once the thick white smoke dissipated, the garden debris was burning happily but greater care shall be taken in future to avoid such a toxic event. Lithium batteries can be quite exciting.

Perhaps the client who emailed regarding these two companies obviously has an interest in Lithium, hopefully for a saner reason than our own. Even Cornish Metals, a company we reported on in July, also claim interest in the Lithium field. With the availability of battery powered everything nowadays, Lithium, as a key component currently for rechargeable devices, appears to be a buzz word in the mining industry.

Surprisingly, the visuals for Zinnwald don’t live up to our hopes. Presently trading around the 17p mark, the price need only slip below 16.5p to risk provoking reversal to 14.7p next. If broken, our ‘longer term or the next day’ secondary comes with a fairly nasty attachment. While 13.6p may sound fairly innocuous, there’s the potential of real trouble should such a level break as “bottom” calculates down at 8.6p eventually.

 

If looking for hope, the share needs trade above Blue on the chart, presently around 20p. This should prove capable of a cycle toward 26p with secondary, a longer term new all time high potential at 30p. Before becoming too excited, the visuals imply almost certain hesitation around 22.5p, if things start to recover.

Cornish Metals When we analysed Cornish Metals back in July, we’d lots of hope, none of which came to fruition. In the period since, the highest the share has achieved was 15.5p which, given our trigger of 15.2p, was utterly rubbish. About the only saving grace has been the period since. The share eventually triggered our drop level of 13p which had calculated with a drop potential of 9.75p. Instead, the share price opted to bounce just above 10p, perhaps implying some strength is evident?

Presently trading around 13p, the price needs above 14.25 and we shall regard it as growing, potentially toward an initial 15.7p. Our secondary, if bettered, works out at 17.3p with a visual implication, should this level be bettered, for really happy times ahead for the share price. In such a scenario, we will revisit our calculations.

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.

#Gold #Nasdaq

With Brent Crude hitting the $81 level, once again a bunch of folk were anticipating major oil shares to do something special. Once again, major oil shares tended not respond. It’s worth remembering when Brent Crude attempted the $130 level, BP shares dithered below the 5 quid level. The concept of a link between the price of crude and oil company shares appears illusory, mostly.

If we choose to look at Tullow, during 2013 the price of Brent Crude was pretty stable around the $120 mark. Tullow, alas, was trading initially at 1200p and now, with Brent at $81, Tullow ‘enjoy’ a share price down at just 52p. As the chart below illustrates, the last decade has not been kind to Tullow but, in fairness, there are early signs something may be changing for the better.

The immediate situation seems pretty straightforward with movement above 52.6 hinting at the prospect of some growth toward an initial 56.7p. While conceding this target is about as interesting as a Scottish weather forecast (always rain, obviously…) the secondary ambition gives some hope for the longer term as it’s at 68.7p. The effect of the secondary, despite any hesitation which shall probably occur should it appear, is the price will illustrate a “higher high”. This could prove quite a big deal, bettered the high prior to the break of the Blue downtrend. This has the potential for some Big Picture impetus to make itself known, calculating with a long term cycle commencing to an eventual 125p as a serious point of interest eventually.

Unfortunately, such a movement will be of little solace to the folk who convinced themselves, during the 4 years until the end of 2019, that Tullow “obviously” had a floor level around 200p, something which could be relied upon. The lesson learned was painful, essentially confirming the maxim of “If it ain’t goin’ up, it’s goin’ down…”

For the present, Tullow needs slip below 39p to cause panic. In such a scenario, we can calculate a bottom of 22p. Unfortunately, that’s also the point where we run out of numbers as every result is tainted with a minus sign thereafter.
