#FTSE #DAX Doubtless similar to many married couples, when the partners birthday sneaks into your consciousness just after midnight, a panic early morning visit to the local petrol station is required for emergency birthday card and flowers. And so Thursday began, only instead of petrol station fodder, a drive to the nearest town was deemed a good idea as the evidence of forgetting the birthday (again) would be less obvious.  After all, no-one would drive 20 miles, just to pretend you’d a clear conscience.

This, neatly, brings us to Helium One and their share price!

Buying a birthday balloon was something which hadn’t been done previously and the potential for fun with a bunch of helium balloons hadn’t been considered. Apparently around 8% of helium use is for balloons, the gas enjoying a wide range of applications. Needless to say, neither the balloons or “proper” birthday card proved sufficient, the inevitable “You forgot, didn’t you. Why can’t you be more organised” was waiting on my return home.

As for Helium One, I suspect the purchase of my emergency balloons didn’t provoke the share being one of the more active on Thursday in the UK stock market but when an email asked our thoughts of the share price, the coincidence couldn’t be ignored.

 

Despite never having given a moments thought to where helium is sourced, it transpires the worlds largest reserve of helium was in the US, located in Amarillo, Texas, an area made famous by an annoying novelty song. This reserve is now close to exhausted and further sources are being sought. Of course, this is where Helium One enter the picture with their reserves in Tanzania, now regarded as the largest known primary helium resource in the world.

Listed on the AIM relatively recently, their share price is now looking quite vibrant, on the edge of becoming seriously interesting for the longer term. The issue is fairly simple. Above 25p now looks capable of a price rise to an initial 27.4p. If bettered, our secondary calculates at 29p.

While the share is presently trading around 24.5p, there’s something of special interest about these relatively tame target levels. We cannot calculate above 29p and of course, this does not for a moment mean the price cannot go higher. If the share price successfully exceeds 29p, the sky is the limit for the longer term. The share price simply does not have sufficient history to feed our software with a pile of trading data.

Visually, we’re pretty optimistic about this one. The price would need fall below 11.5p to provoke true alarm.

FTSE for FRIDAY (FTSE:UKX) Where do we start? Thursday proved somewhat insipid, the UK market flailing around in a 20 point range for the morning session. At 12 noon, a miracle occurred, the FTSE moving up by a further 20 points, then doing very little thereafter. If there was ever a day when the market appeared at a loss for what to do, Thursday described it nicely. Once upon a time, we looked forward to Thursdays as the thrill of shares going ‘ex-dividend’ often provoked surprises but for now, it’s just a little boring.

After so saying, the FTSE did manage to close the session is fairly hopeful territory for the near future. Moves above 7124 points suggest a visit to 7167 can be anticipated. This is a pretty tame target level but our secondary, should 7167 be exceeded, is rather more interesting, calculating at 7228 points. The lethargic pace of the UK market suggests not holding ones breath, if hoping for it to appear with a single session.

If triggered, the tightest stop looks like 7085 points.

 

Our alternate, converse scenario requires the FTSE to slump below 7070 to be taken seriously, threatening reversal to an initial 7027 points. If broken, our longer term secondary calculates down at 6969 points.

Once again, our thanks to those who find adverts on this page sufficiently interesting to visit. It keeps the coffee flowing!

FX:GBPEUR #CAC40_futures #Nasdaq Usually around this time of year, we start receiving emails asking how Sterling looks against both the US Dollar and the Euro. This year, the silence has been pretty obvious and we guess many folk are not planning exotic travels to Euro Disney or the USA. Personally, despite both vaccinations, the idea of traveling a distance is repellent, especially with the threat of finding oneself in a quarantine situation.

 

In reality, living in Argyll in Scotland already tends mute the concept of going elsewhere. After all, we enjoy a deluge of mountains, islands, beaches, sea views, inland lochs with amazing fishing, and some of the worst roads in the UK (outside Cornwall). On a day when the weather behaves, disappearing to a local empty beach with the dogs and a picnic gives an instant holiday and the stress of the markets quickly vanishes. Rather harshly, “summer” tends only be reliable during May & June, the mountains often threatening more traditional forms of deluge. As anyone who’s visited the area will doubtless remember, rainfall and winds of biblical proportions can make themselves known too.

A neighbour called, quite literally to tell me about his new garden shed so I’d recognise it, if it blows into my land. There’s a chance this demonstrates sound judgement from the bloke, thanks to his previous 2 sheds pretending they were auditioning for Wizard of Oz, one landing in our garden stream in component parts, it’s replacement opting to decorate our lawn a few months later, discovered in the long October grass entirely by accident.

 

We reviewed GBPEUR last December, when the pairing was trading around 1.10. Our analysis supplied criteria for the relationship to move up to 1.173, a feat the market achieved in March of this year. From behaviour of the pair, our 1.173 target level looks like it was quite important, our target exceeded but the market has hovered around the 1.17 level for a few months. There are some extremely vivid potentials, should this relationship again strengthen, next time it moves above 1.18.

Such a move looks capable of triggering a lunge in the direction of 1.213 initially and when we review historical behaviour, this makes a lot of visual sense as a point where some stutters look possible. We’re less confident about our secondary calculation of 1.251 as a visit to such a point is liable to prove game changing for the future strength of Sterling. It’s already difficult to believe parity with the Euro looked a certainty, now such thoughts are diminished.

The relationship needs founder below 1.145 to provoke panic and at present, this appears unlikely.

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

#FTSE #NK225 With surprising regularity, ‘Conspiracy Theories’ seem to turn into ‘so called Conspiracy Theories’ on their eventual path to being taken seriously. The current emergence of UFO silliness has morphed into the world of acceptable, just by changing the acronym. UFO’s, in becoming ‘UAP’s, are now deemed acceptable topics, even on the nightly news. The DAX opens itself up to a whole nest of conspiracy issues, thanks to a couple of circled gaps on the chart below.

Folk sometimes think “The Market is out to get me!” and at times, it feels like it’s out to get us too.

The chart below is interesting. We obviously remain bemused when encountering market manipulation gaps but this series from Germany left us wide eyed. Our analysis on the DAX from 26th February introduced some pretty large drop targets. The first one suggested the potential of a 600 point reduction to 12,152 points. Our target was achieved, just 4 sessions later but the method by which the success appeared was strange. The index was gapped down, breaking below this target level. Assuring ourselves this was just one of these things, our secondary target came to fruition a couple of weeks later, the German index again gapped down to our target level.

Happening once could easily be written off as coincidence. When this nonsense happened again within such a short timeframe, it became clear our software had been mapping the correct trend. And the manipulation gaps strongly suggested the market wanted the German index pretty firmly below our logical target levels, hence manipulation gapping the index downward. The DAX was to eventually bottom around 8,250 points in the middle of May.

Paradoxically, this forced reversal has given voice to another, usually erroneous, stock market cliché.

Every now and then, someone will advance the theory of something needing to go down before it can go up. Most folks, anxiously clutching shares where the price is trashed, face a fruitless period of years, if awaiting an inevitable price recovery. But there can be a kernel of truth in the saying. If something has crashed illogically, then is given reason for a rise, the results can prove flamboyant when the value of an overcooked drop is, essentially, paid back.

We believe this is happening with the DAX and suspect the index shall prove capable of an attempt at further all time highs.

The index is closing on what we think shall be an important trigger level. Presently trading around 15,640 points, the DAX needs exceed 15,670 to give some early warning for some reasonable movement. We can calculate 15,966 points as our initial target. If bettered, a longer term cycle toward 17,488 points calculates as possible and we suspect some market hesitation, should such an amazing number make an appearance.

For everything to start going convincingly wrong for German, the index needs break Red, roughly at 14,700 points. Such a scenario risks a tumble to the 14,000 level, perhaps even 13,100 points.

#Gold #SP500 The last 18 months certainly have proven interesting on the markets. The Dow Jones is particularly fascinating with movements since the lows of March 2020 teaching quite a few lessons in relation to chart movements. Not least, among the lessons,  is a fairly important one. Uptrends, a trend line drawn across “lows” can be an utterly useless indicator. But of course, Lady Gaga also deserves a mention!

The chart below has 4 circled areas, highlighting when the immediate uptrend failed yet the market didn’t change direction. It’s often the case, when an uptrend breaks, it’s simply expressing a pause in a climb, rather than actually giving useful information. In-house, our favourite “tell” to spot false trend breaks comes, when the chart level exceeds the initial point of trend break.

For instance, in April last year, Wall St saw the trend break at 24,400 points. Immediately, the usual suspects were all over the media suggesting a false dawn from the Covid lows. Those same commentators were silent, when Wall St bettered 24,400 on May 18th 2020.

In June 2020, the market again caused panic, breaking below 25,800 points. Just 2 sessions later, it redeemed itself, moving above the point of trend break.

And in October/November 2020, Lady GaGa took to the stage. We’ve used two little blue boxes to highlight the puzzling movement. This, quite peculiar, series of manipulation is something we don’t get but we also dare not ignore. When a price is “Gapped Down” below a trend, then “Gapped Up”, it invariably suggests a share, commodity, or index, is about to experience some pretty solid growth. Importantly, the converse is also true, when the process is reversed and generally any ensuing price drop proves quite nasty.

For this particular type of instance, we’ve developed an acceleration theory, one which suggests the impetus imparted by the market manipulation in October 2020 should present a target level of 36,034 points eventually. We tend suspect, quite firmly, some volatility shall make itself known if the US market indeed reaches such a target level. Some folk dislike us choosing to refer to market gaps as ‘manipulation’ but when a price is moves, in complete absence of trades, it’s quite difficult to use any other term. In the case of Wall St, at some point before the market opened on October 28th last year, humans decided it was going to be worth 350 points less than the close the previous day.

Finally, we come to movements from Wall St in the last couple of days. Our underlying expectation remains for this index to attempt the 36,000 point level, therefore don’t trust the immediate trend break. To confirm our sceptical belief, the market now needs recover above 34,225 points just to exceed the level at which the trend was broken. From an immediate standpoint, it’s relatively easy to present a scenario where this can occur.

Movement next above 33,910 points calculates with the potential of an initial 34,100 points. If bettered, our secondary works out at 34,370 points and comfortably rises above the point of trend break. As the market closed Monday at 33,877 points, it’s not a lot to ask for. And of course, our 36,000 ambition can once again be taken quite seriously.

 

Should things intend go horribly wrong for Wall St, the index needs below an immediate 33,640 points to justify a raised eyebrow. Breaking such a level will tend suggest the strength from Monday was perhaps false, capable of triggering reversal to an initial 33,477 points. A modest drop like this isn’t of special alarm but, if broken, our secondary works out at 33,170 points. This level of secondary is a real problem, taking the market into the realms of “lower lows” and perfectly capable of falling into the clutches of reversal down to 32,000 points.

 

At present, we remain fairly optimistic for the Dow Jones.

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.

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

#Brent #Dax Fathers Day proved strangely satisfying. Rather than the usual invasion from grandchildren, a positive Covid test for their mum ensured the monsters remained 60 miles away for the period of self isolation. Instead, the day was designated as a DIY occasion, working down the ToDo list on the wall of the office to catch up on a growing list of jobs for which excuses could be found to avoid. Sound familiar?

Easy jobs like a few exterior light bulbs were attractive, rather more intimidating jobs such as sorting the hinges on a gate. For some reason, my brain “can’t do hinges” and I know my wife waits in cheerful anticipation, every single time I try to sort a hinge in the garden. It always goes wrong, often due to me buying the wrong sort of hinge for the job. To elaborate, living by the sea ensures salt spray and frequent 60mph+ winds gives conventional exterior metalwork a limited lifespan.

But Sundays workload involved something I’ve wanted for years. Daughter had given me a vice as an unusual Fathers Day gift, roughly a decade ago. I’d never bolted it to anything and in honesty, it’s principal job is to hold the shed door open (a hinge issue). Fitting a vice looked simple, a matter of drilling three holes. But first, a substantial bit of wood was needed as a dedicated work top. Around 5 hours were spent, cutting wood, making brackets, cutting the wood ago due to a measurement issue, making more brackets. Finally, around the same point Louis Hamilton lost the French GP, I drilled the three holes and bolted the vice in place.

All things considered, it was a perfect Fathers Day gift, watching Formula 1 while messing around in the shed and as I was doing something useful, beyond reproach. I often wonder why my wife has never opened the new ironing board I bought her for her birthday… <joke>

 

On the subject of useful gifts, Barclays Plc continues to tease the market, their share price carefully avoiding doing anything useful. Three weeks ago, we mentioned 188p as a potential trigger level and the share has avoided it with similar sentiment I apply to hinges. Despite whatever happened to Barclays (and the markets in general) on Friday, our normal rules suggest, quite firmly, Barclays is readying itself to gift traders some reasonable movement. It just needs to actually start going up!

The share price is presently fumbling around the 180p level and, as we’d anticipated, showing some hesitation as this markets the price level, prior to the Covid-19 drop. When we review other markets, both in Europe, Asia, and the USA, this hesitation has been standard behaviour until such a point when a share (or index) brakes free, painting Higher Highs.

With Barclays, it appears about as certain as we can be now above 189p – a slight change in trigger level – shall gift movement up to an initial 223p initially with secondary, if exceeded, calculating at a future 238p.

 

When Barclays decided to spend Friday, kicking open the gate into visual chaos, we’re not entirely convinced weakness will hang around. From a software perspective, there is a threat of weakness below 171p bringing travel down to an initial 161 with secondary 151 and hopefully a bottom. We’re not sold on this concept, due to the price already being at the pre-pandemic level and secondly, because of the inset on the chart. The market, for whatever reason, inhibited Barclays rise earlier this year and conventionally, this sort of thing can prove a free gift in the future as price movements tend be sharp and vivid. It’s “just” a matter of time.

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

#FTSE & #BrentCrude We’re worried about Brent Crude! Not because it may go up or down but because of our historical reputation with the stuff. Our track record of getting it right, when it comes to Big Picture movements for crude oil is causing immediate concern. The price of Brent now flapping around in a zone where it risks triggering a pretty major price cycle and if it does so, it shall also trigger daily nerves at our end.

The first “issue” comes from the immediate price. The commodity is trading above the pre-pandemic level of 60 dollars. This provides the first trip into the realm of confidence.

The second “issue” is provided by the Blue line on the chart. This very obvious downtrend has now been exceeded, another reason for hope for the future.

The third “issue” is the previous high of 70 dollars, a price level which confirmed the Blue downtrend. As this has now been bettered, Brent Crude is now living in the land of Higher Highs, conventionally the place where optimism resides.

And finally, there’s our immediate target level just above the 75 dollar mark. This was calculated using price movements from this year, hardly a big picture thing. Should Brent Crude now exceed 75.50, the price enters the realm of Big Picture calculations. As a result, we shall be forced to promote the concept of further price miracles in the direction of 93 dollars initially with secondary, if exceeded, working out at 100 dollars.

If it all intends go wrong for Brent, the price needs drip below 68 dollars as this risks triggering an initial $60 with secondary, if broken, at $54. At present, the oil price is twitching around, just below our 75 dollar level, displaying the hesitation we refer to as “stutters” prior to a future demonstration of direction.

FTSE for FRIDAY Usually, the market sidles toward the weekend, giving a bit of a clue as to market direction in the near term. For Friday, we can agree on one thing; we’re utterly clueless as to market intentions! On Thursday, the index dropped (a bit), successfully hitting our initial target, even breaking it for a few minutes. But as all the days action took place in the opening second of trade, it was all very artificial, leaving nothing in its wake except confusion.  From our perspective, Thursday was an utter waste of time, especially as the market itself didn’t feel like it knew what to do with itself.

The conclusion drawn from the exercise suggests the FTSE actually now needs below 7125 before any reversal dare be taken seriously. Such a movement feels like it could now trigger reversal to an initial 7095 points with secondary, if broken, calculating at 7057 points.

However, we still maintain the hope the FTSE shall join other major index’ by trading above its pre-pandemic high of 7550. This results in the (perhaps naive) hope the index enjoys underlying force driving it upward. If this indeed is the case, above 7175 points suggests the potential of near term movement to an initial 7201 points. If bettered, our secondary works out at 7265 points.

It may also be worth remembering the lesson from Thursday. If all the action occurs in the first second of trade, why not go do something else as the day is liable to be another waste of time. There’s always some grass needing cut…

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.

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

#Dax #Nikkei This, essentially, is a tale of two transport companies. Both operate internationally, the French company flourishing, the British one rather less well. Obviously, the key ingredient is what they transport, Bollore moving “stuff” in trucks, Jet2 stuffing people onto jets. At least, that’s what Jet2 would love to do, aside from the small matter of a pandemic utterly trashing their business. The original pandemic price drop, when the company were known as Dart Group, saw the share plunge from 19 quid down to below £2. Changing their name last year to Jet2 certainly appears to have improved their fortunes, despite passenger numbers  being dreadful

Presently trading around 1225p, it has been a real surprise witnessing the share climb from the pandemic low of 184p, despite air travel remaining a fraught ambition thanks to the UK Govt appearing to apply arbitrary rules against destinations. Even if inclined to fly somewhere, as Portugal recently proved, there’s a real risk of a holiday being interrupted, thanks to a change in status for a destination. The threat of being forced to quarantine for 10 days on return, forced holidaymakers to grab flights to the UK in panic before the new rules were applied.

It certainly begs the question; if a country has become dodgy, facing a change to its status, why bother giving 5 days notice? The Covid-19 germ must be one of the most intelligent virus’ ever, knowing it’s not to travel to the UK during the warning period before travel stops.

We find it interesting the bounce from pandemic bottom has been so energetic. We’d calculated the potential of movement to 1411p, the price achieving this target pretty effortlessly and better still, exceeding the level through 6 price movement cycles, the most recent upward pulse hitting 1571p. While encouraging, movement in the last few weeks is proving a concern, the immediate situation suggesting weakness continuing below 1215 risks an attempt at 1093p.

Descending to such a level risks provoking a bigger picture problem as below 1093p threatens a further change down to a bottom, hopefully, at 949p.

Visually, some slight hope is available, should the share somehow find impetus to lift itself above Red on the chart, currently around 1400p. Such a miracle calculates with a cycle commencing toward 1848p, pretty close to (but not exceeding) their pre-pandemic high. Only when shares start trading above this level shall we become truly enthusiastic, rather than cautious.

Bollore (EU:BOL) Regarded as one of the worlds 500 largest companies, Bollore are a French transport company, founded in 1822. We’ll admit, we’d never heard of them until we studied price movements in Europe in the hope of finding a decent “pick” where the upward potentials reflect what’s happening with the French stock market. As it has exceeded its levels pre-Covid, we’re automatically hopeful for its future.

Before the Covid-19 drop last year, Bollore achieved 3.9 Euro and now, is trading higher at 4.42. The share price has exhibited a reliable climb from being laid low by the virus and importantly, the market opted to gap it upward (circled) in February, clearly intending a visit to happier climes.

The current scenario suggests above 4.6 Euro should head to an initial 4.95, along with some probable hesitation. But we expect 4.95 shall be exceeded, giving a longer term potential of 5.64, along with a need to revisit our numbers for the future. If everything intends go wrong, the share will require trading below 4.03 to inspire panic, along with a real threat of traffic down to 3.4 and hopefully a bounce.

As ever, our thanks to those folk who find adverts on this page worth a visit.
