#Brent #CAC40 Since May 2007, Natwest has allegedly had a downtrend, one we’re showing in Blue on the chart. Unfortunately, the integrity of this Blue line is in considerable doubt, due to the share price experiencing a 10:1 consolidation in 2012, changing their name from Royal Bank, and companies managing to utterly confuse historical share movements, when merging RBS data into the new name, along with the artificially changed value of individual shares.

This Blue downtrend is thankfully verified by price movements in both 2015 and 2019, suggesting Natwest now only need exceed a current 218.964p (roughly) to start trading above the historical downtrend and start promising great things for the future. What surprises us, greatly, about this supposed break-out level is the price required is virtually identical to the share price for Natwest, when all the germs hit the pandemic fan in February 2020. With Natwest presently trading around 208p, the share price certainly does not need extend itself far to drift into territory where optimism for the longer term becomes possible.

We should point out something which makes a lot of sense. It will be exceedingly probable Natwest will experience some hesitation around the 220p level, both due to the proximity of the Blue downtrend and also, the prior pre-pandemic high. However, in the event the share manages close above the Blue line, we’re able to calculate the potential of recovery toward an initial longer term 252p with secondary, if bettered, working out at 308p.

Anything above the 308p level will require we take a hard look at the tea leaves again, due to this moving the share price into a region where some extraordinary gains become very possible.

 

Due to this being a UK share and worse, a UK retail bank, it’s essential we glance at possible downsides. At present, the price needs below 184p to indicate issues ahead, risking reversal to an initial 168 with secondary, if broken, at 132p. We really dislike the idea of such a secondary, given it provides a “lower low” and promises a future with the share price stuck in the doldrums.

Many thanks to those who found adverts on this page worth a visit on Friday. Really grateful!

#FTSE #DAX #FreeFutures We’ve a few clients holding Ripple and while we’d prefer use a UK “travel traffic light system”(always set at Red) we’re opting to feature it as a headline item once a week. This also begs the question, just how did the UK manage to install traffic lights in the sky to ensure aircraft behave in accordance with whatever directive is issued to confuse the travel industry?

The crypto blockchain, device, Ripple, has enjoyed a fairly placid week and is presently trading around US$1.09. The surprise comes if it manages above just $1.10 as apparently we should anticipate recovery to an initial $1.40. If bettered, our secondary is a bit more exciting at $1.87. Exceeding this secondary amibition is liable to be a really big deal, allegedly threatening a cycle to commence to $2.5 and some hesitation.

We’d now have significant concern, if the price of this crypto manages below $0.70 as we cannot calculate drop targets below such a level.

FTSE for FRIDAY The FTSE continues to move slower than our Golden Retriever, when she realises her time at the beach is over for the day. In our part of Scotland, brilliant weather, coupled with a lack of tourists (during the week) has ensured a daily visit to the local sands with the dog. She’s developed the habit of staying in the sea, just out of reach, when we return toward the car. This dog should have been on the UK’s Brexit negotiating team, her skill in getting her own way unparalleled.

For the FTSE, May managed a less than spectacular trading range of just 160 points. It also manages a pretty dull gain from 6969 points to close the month at 7022 points. In percentage terms, the UK 100 grew by a stonking 0.7%, impressing no-one.  At time of writing, the index is trading around 7064 points and we hope the current, mid term, ruling attraction from 7185 points shall not be doomed to represent a high point for June. It just wouldn’t be fair!

Near term, FTSE movement exceeding just 7075 points calculates with a potential gain toward a pretty useful 7117 points. We’re less optimistic with our secondary arithmetic as it works out at 7157 points. The tightest stop is unpleasantly wide at 7013 points, the low price of Thursday.

Our alternate scenario, if it all goes wrong (it is US Non-Farm Payrolls Friday, after all) suggests any weakness continuing below 7013 risks triggering reversal to an initial 6982 points. If broken, our secondary is a hopeful bounce level of 6922 points.

Before you go, please check this page for any adverts which fascinate you. We’re grateful for every contribution to “the coffee fund!” Many thanks.

Have a good weekend, enjoy the Grand Prix, and don’t visit Argyll during the week! Our dog will thank you.

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

#FTSE #WallSt For us, increasingly it appears everything revolves around price levels before the Covid-19 drop last year. If a price has recovered above this level, we tend toward enthusiasm, due to a price moving from ‘recovery’ into ‘growth’. For instance, with the #Stoxx50, the index level was roughly 3,900 before the pandemic hit the fan and now, it’s trading around 4,085 points. In this instance, we’re happy and able to speculate on a surprising future for the European index.

The immediate future is pretty amazing, needing above just 4,102 points to confirm a cycle toward an initial 4,178 points. If exceeded, our longer term secondary calculates at 4,405 points. We’ve quite a strong cluster of arguments pointing at the 4,400 level as a viable ambition. Not least is the impression from the chart below as, in addition to arithmetic, there’s a strong visual indication some hesitation can be anticipated, should the index make it up the mountain to challenge a high not seen since 2007.

If exceeded, there’s an even longer term influence from 4,817 points, allegedly painting the potential of a new all time high. For it all to go pear shaped, the European index needs reverse below Blue on the chart, presently around 3,800 points.

Petrofac, and as mentioned above, we ration our enthusiasm until such point a price is trading above its pre-pandemic level. In the case of Petrofac, describing themselves as; “Petrofac is a leading international service provider to the energy industry, with a diverse client portfolio including many of the world’s leading energy companies.”, their share price prior to the Covid-19 drop was 373p. At time of writing, the company is trading around 139p, substantially below the level achieved on the initial pandemic drop. We’re actually fairly impressed the share price has carefully avoided closing below 90p as there were many reasons to hope for a rebound at such a level.

Currently, with oil prices rising and lockdown easing, surely increased activity in the oil sector shall rub off on Petrofac. If we’re strict, we can establish 145p as a potential trigger level, exceeding this should propel the share price to a stunning 150p. Okay, perhaps not very impressive but in the event 150p is bettered, Bigger Picture forces should start influencing the share price properly, provoking recovery toward an initial 182p. The Big Picture is slightly vague as to our secondary price growth target, if this level is successfully challenged. The share price could either head toward a longer term 255p or, more probably, an attempt at pre-pandemic levels which works out at 375p.

Petrofac needs reverse below 90p to cause utter panic for the company share price future. For now, we suspect it shall prove worth watching.

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

#Gold #SP500 Sometimes, a throw away comment can prove a little distressing. We last reviewed Eurasia Mining six months ago (link), being pretty positive for its long term future. As is our habit, we completed the roundup with a single sentence; “To finish on an easy note, the price needs fall below 26p to now cause utter panic.” Needless to say, in January of this year, the share price decided to explore what could happen if it dropped below 26p.

It hit a bottom at 14p and bounced, fairly unconvincingly, creating the sort of drama we dislike.

The immediate situation for this miner, operating in the back of beyond in Russia, is a little scary. Presently trading around 24p, the price only needs drill below 23.5p to enter a cycle where reversal to 19.5p calculates as very possible. We’d hope for a rebound at such a level, if only due to the presence of the immediate Red uptrend since the start of 2020. However, we rather suspect the share price shall attempt 14.7p in an attempt to scare investors silly and shake loose some shares. Given this level is marginally above the prior low, substantial hope exists for proper price recovery, should this level make an appearance.

Importantly, and perhaps crucially, we calculate “Ultimate Bottom” on this at 12p. This represents the level below which we can no longer calculate numbers. In most situations, should one of our ultimate bottoms break, a share price remains trapped in a twighlight zone, everyone telling each other a miracle shall surely happen.

 

This time, we’ll finish on a better note, thanks to the pretty contrived price movements visible against this share price. The entire scenario for reversal is perhaps just too obvious, making us suspect the converse may be just around the corner.

Any excuse to trade above 30p should be interesting, apparently capable of triggering recovery to an initial 41p. Visually, such an ambition makes a lot of sense. Our longer term secondary calculates at 54p, an aspiration which is truly amazing as it would take the share to price levels not seen for over 20 years. Needless to say, while we believe in our 41p calculation, we’ve considerable doubts about our workings which produced the 54p figure.

Many thanks to the folk who discovered something interesting in adverts on this page on Tuesday.

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

#Brent #Dax When we reviewed Barclays 3 weeks ago, we were breathlessly enthusiastic as to the share price prospects, if it would only exceed 191p. Presently trading around 183p, a visit to our trigger level was studiously avoided. Perhaps Boris celebrating his wedding and granting a weekend of good weather to a grateful nation shall do the trick! Or maybe not…

The trigger level for movement has melted downward, now standing at 188p.

Our software claims movements above 188p should now provoke price recovery to an initial 201p with secondary, if exceeded, calculating at 210p. A glance at the chart below reveals both ambitions take the share price solidly into Big Picture territory, a region where an iota above 210p can expect longer term price recovery toward 290p eventually. We can all hope something will get the party started. Our own preference shall be the market opting to “gap” the share price upward at the open anytime soon, ideally by around 10p above current. This will certainly broadcast a strong suggestion a recovery cycle is commencing, one where our Big Picture ambitions shall start to make sense.

 

One little puzzle has been recent news Barclays introduced restrictions on clients ability to transfer money to the leading crypto currency exchanges. Our curiosity is awakened as we cannot see how the bank intend make money from this maneuver. Unless we’re about to see crypto-currency exchanges run by the banks in the UK, perhaps intended to produce a respectable way of trading Bitcoin etc, allowing the current restrictions to be lifted. Despite the PR headlines advising the banks have introduced this restriction to protect their clients money, we’re more than a little suspicious as to Barclays real motives as banks rarely act in the best interest of clients, their own bottom line generally providing the driving force for decisions.

 

If everything intends go wrong for Barclays share price, it looks like below 169p shall prove troublesome, allowing the potential of weakness to an initial 150p. If broken, our longer term secondary calculates at 129p. Nothing is currently pointing in this direction. Hopefully Boris doesn’t award the nation with another lockdown, allowing him to drive to Barnard Castle in peace and quiet for a honeymoon.

All kidding aside, as someone who stays in a “destination” area, this holiday weekend allowed an amazing invasion of visitors. It also provided a sharp reminder of tourists being utterly incompetent when driving on “single track” roads, an entire field of highland cows opting to use a crash damaged fence to explore the wider area.

Once again, many thanks to those who find interesting adverts on this page.

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

#FTSE #Nasdaq  Our amazingly popular weekly article, usually complaining about the UK FTSE 100 index has, for some reason, been attracting a lot of attention from Indonesia. Visitor numbers from that country proved sufficient to make it the 2nd most popular source of traffic, after the UK. The US, China, Germany, and France trailed behind with our unknown friends on Reunion Island now pushed far down the lists. Despite the thrill of reviewing where folk are based, another slight thrill is starting to grab our attention.

 

We’ve shown one of our insets on the chart, a close up of the uptrend (Red) since 2009. There’s a pretty easy conclusion to be drawn of a market, perfectly aware of this trends existence. For today, when we extrapolate this trend line, the FTSE 100 only needs close above 7029 to regain the trend. The implications thereafter are quite extraordinary, the Big Picture currently claiming the potential of recovery to a believable 7377 points.

Despite our unbreakable belief the FTSE shall experience considerable hesitation around the 7550 level (the pre-pandemic high), in the event the FTSE somehow trades above this initial 7377 target, we’re now able to calculate a longer term attraction at 8112 points. This would represent a new all time high for the UK, levels of confidence which are a surprise, given the impact of Brexit and Covid on the country. Our hope for the future is also built upon the FTSE following the example from other international markets, all of which it’s still lagging behind.

As for the immediate market potentials, this week has been pretty dire with the index continually failing to act properly, when faced with downward triggers or upward triggers. The trading range daily has been around 40 points which, for an index in the 7,000’s, is quite a disappointment. There’s a certain threat of movement below 6998 points forcing reversal to a useless 6980 points. If broken, our secondary calculates at 6930 points. Beware any trigger which occurs in the first second of trade on the FTSE as it’s liable to prove a fake!

If this reversal scenario triggers, the tightest stop feels like 7035 points.

 

Our alternate, the gain scenario, feels more probable. Movement above 7035 points should make an attempt at 7060 points initially. If exceeded, our secondary ambition works out at 7110 points and a decent start to the holiday weekend.

Special holiday weekend thanks to the folk who found some of the adverts on this page fascinating yesterday.

#France #SP500 There’s something extremely curious going on with the stock market and Vodafone’s share price. In fact, we’ve never seen this sort of thing before. Vodafone continues to frustrate, due to its lack of realistic movements. For instance, the drop last year to 93p was, from our perspective, arithmetically correct, reaching a calculated target and going no further. In the period since, briefly achieving 140p wasn’t the most exciting interaction with its long term Red uptrend.

This long term Red uptrend makes us question what the heck the market is playing at with Vodafone. We’ve shown three zoomed in areas where we question some price movements. It’s worth remembering the Red line dates back to 2002, clearly something the stock market attaches a lot of importance to.

Exhibit One; In March 2020, the market gapped the price below the historical Red uptrend. Not a big deal, we thought. Just a Covid thing.

Exhibit Two. In June 2020, Vodafone looked like it was enacting recovery. The market said “nope”, promptly gapping the share price down below the historical Red uptrend.

Exhibit Three. In May 2021, Vodafone yet again looked like it was trying for recovery. The market again said “nope”, gapping the share price safely below the historical Red uptrend.

 

While a chart pattern clearly hasn’t formed, a pattern of behaviour surely makes itself clear. In the period to which we refer, the FTSE has struggled against recovery and at times we’ve felt the market itself was the enemy, determined for the FTSE 100 to founder while European and American markets flourished. It remains a surprise how the UK AIM market, for years the “whipping boy” amongst UK indices, essentially is matching US price strengths, while the FTSE 100 does its own thing.

As gaps are, essentially, share price manipulation, it begs the question as to what’s going on? Surely if this deliberate restraint continues, some of the market grown ups must start asking questions?

 

We’re almost at a loss regarding Vodafone current prospects. With every attempt at recovery being reversed by “trading gaps”, we can only suspect Vodafone needs gapped UP above Red to indicate a change of heart, along with a strong suggestion pointing at sustained recovery. At present, if Vodafone exceeded 140p, we’d be fairly certain movement in the direction of 164p was ahead. If exceeded, our secondary calculates at a longer term 188p and importantly, moves the share price into pole position for challenging price levels not seen since 2016.

Thanks to the repeated gapping behaviour, we’d now experience considerable alarm if the market ever discovered an excuse to move Vodafone below 93p. Such treacherous territory allows for an ultimate bottom of 51p.

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.
