#Brent_Futures #DAX The UK retail banks are behaving like politicians, only instead of teasing “end of lockdown”, they tease “share price recovery!” We’re increasingly less likely to believe either politicians or the market, thanks to events tending signal neither actually have a clue. Just when we thought it was safe to exit our collective cages, the current hysteria about ‘Covid from India is going to get you’ fails to gel with the hospitality industry suggesting people need drink an extra patriotic 158 pints of beer on average between now and the end of year to undo the damage to their profits. As for politicians and Covid-19, the virus spread ignores a few tiny little details. If flying from some countries into the UK, you can only land in Scotland if willing to accept mandatory quarantine, a nice little earner for the hotel industry. As a result, folk coming to Scotland fly into Heathrow, travel internally to Scotland, and promise to isolate themselves at home for 10 days. They face a difficult threat. Apparently someone might phone them to ask if they are staying indoors…

And then, we question why the illness continues to spread while the markets (in the UK) fail to recover?

Natwest managed a miracle trigger surge above our 201p trigger, utterly failing to achieve our 212p target, instead fizzing out at just 208p with news India Covid was now on our shores. In normal circumstances, the series of price movements would create about the closest thing to a Sure Thing trade as it’s possible to get. Apparently, for Natwest we can now report above 212p should enter a recovery cycle to an initial 250p, a confident and sane looking recovery target. In fact, we can even tighten this now to above 210p allegedly being capable of triggering a series of remorseless drives upward.

We even can calculate a longer term secondary at 306p, something we’re less confident on despite the Big Picture visuals.

 

There is something fairly encouraging revealed by recent price moves. We previously moaned the share needed below 183p to undo any growth trigger. Thus far, the lowest achieved since the trend break upward has been 184.75p, frighteningly close to cancelling recovery potentials but failing to cancel the scenario. As the inset on the chart reveals, this lunge downward came immediately following the previous lunge upward, signalling the market is perfectly aware of both the Blue and Red trend lines. Traditionally, our inclination is to go with any initial trend break as setting the tone for the future. Thus, the movement to 208p may well prove a viable early warning for a share which intends surprise recovery toward 250p.

We’re hopefully not being gullible but the picture shown does lend itself to suggesting Natwest are about to make a surprise recovery surge upward. Goodness knows when! For everything to go wrong, the bank share price needs now sink below 175p. This would be a poor show, threatening a reversal cycle to a bottom, hopefully, at 141p.

As always, many thanks to those who find adverts of interest. Fridays visitors justified a chocolate croissant!

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

#FTSE It has been a few months since we last reviewed #Brent_Crude and now, we’ve reason to suspect it needs an update. Not least in our thinking is the Blue downtrend which dates back to 2014. The close up detail is pretty important, tending to highlight the market is perfectly aware of this downtrend. As shown on the chart inset, Brent Crude bubbled up above the trend at the start of May, frothing just above the surface before being driven underground again.

From our perspective, the implication behind this behaviour is straightforward. Next time Brent exceeds the $71 level, it’s going to be difficult to avoid a cycle to an initial $76 with secondary, when exceeded, at a longer term $94. We would anticipate some hesitation, should the $94 level make an appearance.

For everything to go wrong, our alternate scenario suggests weakness below 63 could now start a drip down to a bottom of $50 eventually.

Our inclination is to view price movements in May as an early warning for gains ahead, especially as it’s quite rare for a commodity to present such a clear case for price growth. Seeing how the market chose to react, when the product bettered a 7 year trend, was quite illuminating, tending suggest any gain – if triggered – is liable to be sharp and fast, doubtless with a minimal stop loss requirement. For some reason, the internet on Thursday had a photographic deluge of people in America panic buying petrol, with folk in Florida being quite creative in their choice of container. Quite how they intend to retrieve their fuel from wheelie bins in the back of pick up trucks should prove ‘interesting’.

FTSE for FRIDAY (FTSE:UKX) This week, the FTSE proved as friendly as a visit to a dentist but we’re inclined to hope the reversals have ceased. Certainly, the “surprise” recovery on Thursday for the FTSE, with the market moving from 2.5% down to a negligible 0.6% down by the end of day tended to scream “bottom at 6823 points” and we should now employ blind faith for further market recovery. All kidding aside, this is our expectation but one punctuated by a suspicion there may be another fake drop first. If this proves the case, we’d hope for a bounce around the 6860 level, if only due to the FTSE falling asleep for 2.5 hours at this level during Tuesday.

We’re inclined to place a trigger level at 7010 for any recovery as movement above this level calculates as capable of an initial 7058 points with secondary, if exceeded, at 7139 points. Such movement will tend suggest the last three days were simply an illusion, creating a scenario with an underlying attraction coming from 7496 points, almost precisely the level of the FTSE before Covid-19 coughed all the toys out of the pram. There are quite a few deeper reasons to anticipate FTSE recovery and we feel the main question is the path any recovery shall take. A heck of a lot of major corporates which comprise the FTSE are triggering recovery levels, just failing to move – yet!

 

Our converse scenario occurs, if the FTSE finds an excuse to slide below 6857 points. Such a movement threatens reversal continuing to an initial 6792. If broken, our secondary calculates down at 6724 and we’d hope for a bounce at such a point.

Google must have emplaced some useful adverts on this page on Thursday. Again, our thanks to those folk who deemed them worth a visit!

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

#Dax #Nasdaq Few things are more annoying than a song stuck in your head. Inevitably, this lot promoted “Sylvia’s Mother” by Dr Hook into the #1 position, making us wonder how long it takes employees of the company to start detesting the tune! In our review of Sylvania back in 2019 (link), we mentioned forces were at work which allowed a lunge in the direction of 61p. This was due to price movements from six years previously.

 

Sylv Price Today

Obviously, with the share now trading around 140p, our goal was achieved. An awkward situation now exists as we’re forced to travel back to 1999. Thankfully an abiding dislike of the singer Prince ensured his dreadful tune with that number in the title didn’t emulate Dr Hook.

By this method, we can try and make sense of where current price movements find their inspiration. Once upon a time, the share was trading above 600p and this appears to provide the arithmetic powering current price strength, a quite extraordinary situation from our perspective. Making matters more difficult, a couple of gaps exist on the chart which circle major price adjustments where there was no trading. Something happened at the start of the 21st century, when one morning the market awoke and decided Sylvania was no longer worth 5 quid a share but instead, around 33p represented fair value.

In the period since the share price exceeded 96p, we’ve little choice but to seek inspiration from the days when it was trading at 650p. From our standpoint, this is now the only thing making sense, capable of explaining the rise to current levels.

 

Next above 151p should prove capable of bringing a visit to an initial 162p. If exceeded, our longer term secondary calculates at 218p. Above such a level, things are necessarily vague, thanks to the circled gaps and we shall prefer revisit to run the numbers again. We’ve chosen to show a long term 336p but the reality of such ambition almost needs guesswork.

 

Finally, the inset below shows a textbook case of our target levels. Earlier in 2020, the share price indeed hit – and exceeded – our target of 61p. The share price then tanked, plunging to 24p. But at the start of September 2020, the price once again attained our 61p and once the prior highs were finally beaten, a state of “higher highs” existed and the rest is history with the price languishing at 140p presently. The value of the share price would need to literally half before we’d suggest time to panic.

#FTSE #SP500_Futures,  We like to cover shares where folk have been emailing us. Sometimes, we’ve a suspicion they might ‘know a thing or two’ with opportunities being revealed. But we flinched at being asked to investigate Geiger Counter’s potentials. The device, used to measure radiation, is probably the last thing we want to hear about, following a year with Covid-19. Another detail is Europe’s top secret nuclear weapons store just along the road from us, local wisdom strongly suggesting if we ever see anyone waving a Geiger counter around, drive fast in the opposite direction!

It transpires the company “Geiger Counter” enjoy surprising aims, to provide returns to shareholders through their investment in the exploration, development, and production of Uranium to supply the nuclear power industry, the ultimate green solution which everyone tries to pretend shall not be necessary. The organisation are not in the business of supplying radiation detectors to the paranoid here in Argyll, Scotland.

 

Geiger Counter (LSE:GCL) Their share price is showing early signs of becoming useful this year, the price now trading higher than any point in the last 9 years. Something has certainly changed with its prospects with a near term potential of above 45p bringing some movement potential to an initial 51p. However, given the share is trading at higher levels, thanks to breaking its long term downtrend, our inclination is to take a Big Picture long term approach and suggest above 45p should now enter a cycle toward an initial 56p with secondary, if exceeded, at 67p.

We can calculate beyond such a level but will prefer take another look, if our initial target levels make an appearance. For everyone to receive a good scare, the share price needs close a session below 31p as the implications become quite troubling.

Jubilee Metals (LSE:JLP) It’s easy to conclude Jubilee are essentially upmarket scrap dealers, given their mission statement; “Jubilee Metals Group Plc is an industry leading metal recovery business focussed on the retreatment and metals recovery from mine tailings, waste, slag, slurry and other secondary materials generated from mining operations.”

A one time addiction to watching TV documentaries covering the efforts employed in recovery of gold, either from the sea, rivers, holes in the ground, or even discarded printed circuit boards, teaches for just metal, the complex processes in use are truly impressive. In the TV series Gold Rush, one of the more successful mining companies tends to focus on tailings piles left be so called “old timer” miners with modern cleaning and sorting techniques revealing 1,000’s of ounces of gold.

Needless to say, Jubilee appear to be hunting a broad portfolio, including lead, zine, vanadium, copper, and even cobalt.

Their share price is showing some useful potentials with a near term nudge above 22p now looking capable of triggering slight movement to an initial 25p. If exceeded, our longer term secondary calculates at 33p. Above such a level, we’d prefer taking a hard look into our crystal bal as it’s prospects are quite surprising.

Presently trading around 20p, their share price needs dig below 13p to spell trouble as 8p calculates as “ultimate” bottom.

Ferrexpo (LSE:FXPO) The 3rd largest exporter of pellets to the global steel industry, Ferrexpo are located in Ukraine where they presumably inhabit a very big hole in the ground. Established for more than 40 years, they are London listed as members of the FTSE 250.

The share price has been making some extraordinary movements this year, the price finally choosing to accelerate beyond a roughly 3 quid glass ceiling which has been clouding things since 2011. The immediate situation feels quite optimistic, needing growth above 500p to promote the concept of travel to 533p. Our secondary is quite a surprise, calculating at a longer term 571p which will be a new all time high.

Currently trading around 480p, it requires below 277p before an investment is running shoes becomes essential!

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

#Gold_Futures #Nasdaq We reviewed venture capital firm Tern a year ago, finishing our report (link here) with the words “For now, the share looks almost ready to fly“. Alas, with the dampening effect of a pandemic, the share price spent the year waffling around but now, this Tern appears to be attempting to leave the nest and head upward. Starting the week with a 27% upward surge, some considerable hope remains viable, especially as the share price closed at a level not seen since 2018.

 

Terns speciality is to invest in companies who’re involved in the “internet of things”. Wiki’s explanation is probably as succinct as it gets; ‘The Internet of Things describes a network of physical objects (aka things) which are embedded with sensors, software, and other tech for the purpose of connecting and exchanging data with other devices and systems over the Internet’. The minds eye pictures a smart kettle, telling a smart water tap it needs filled. The kettle will also count the tea bags used, automatically ordering replacements while it secretly plans world domination in the kitchen to resolve a never ending battle with a smart dishwasher which secretly is eating plates…

Perhaps the foregoing will not prove the most ideal scenario to pitch at Tern, if begging for funds. In reality, most of us are exposed to this sort of thing with our cars, everything constantly monitored with high end vehicles even communicating directly to the factory, if a serious fault occurs. The rest of us need to tolerate a mechanic plugging in a cable from a laptop, before making the traditional sharp intake of breath.

 

Returning to the share price, whatever has provoked the rise looks interesting and when we extrapolate price movements since the downtrend was broken in March, we can calculate further gains exceeding 19.5p should make an attempt at 21.5p. This scenario for a 2p rise is pretty tame, concealing something important. If the price manages exceed 21.5p, our view regarding price influences changes dramatically. We’re now projecting above 21.5 should attempt an initial 24p with secondary, if exceeded, a longer term 33p along with almost certain hesitation.

Another facet of this acceleration potential gives a long term calculation of 68p, something which shouldn’t be taken seriously unless the share price manages to close above 33p.

TERN Price Today

 

Visually, if it all intends go wrong, the price needs crash below 10p. This would be a really bad thing as we cannot calculate an ‘ultimate’ bottom.

We keep the adverts to a minimum, hopefully only letting through those which may be of interest. Today was a two latte thank you day!

#Brent #Dax_Futures An experiment while making bread brought Barclays share price to mind. Those folk who’ve tasted Gluten Free bread will be aware it tends lack flavour and once deciding bread is only a platform for “the good stuff” with butter “the glue”, ongoing efforts to make an acceptable food platform result in some truly interesting and sometimes dreadful results. The core ingredients of todays experiment were Coconut flour, Almond flour, Linseed, Salt, Pumpkin & Sunflower seeds, baking powder, and basically anything interesting which caught my eye. Even a dash of apple vinegar was included.

It transpired a couple of teaspoons of Tumeric along with some black pepper, had a surprise effect. The bread substitute, when removed from the oven, had turned a very cowardly yellow. And this reminded immediately of Barclays share price movements over the last three weeks since we last examined it. We submitted 191p as a trigger level which should promote some proper price recovery but each time Barclays share price approaches our starting point, the share turns chicken and retreats in fear. Price movements have become as boring as our efforts in trying to reinvent bread and, like our bread attempts, we fear the only thing which will make Barclays rise will be a miracle.

We’re starting to suspect the price will need gapped above 191p to make price recovery inevitable.

Above 191p now points at the potential of growth to an initial 208p with secondary, if exceeded, at 228p. But importantly, should the market discover sufficient excuse to gap the share above 208p, it’s almost certainly going to create a miracle scenario, expecting a Big Picture cycle to commence to an initial 238p with secondary, if bettered, calculating at a longer term 312p.

For everything to go as badly wrong as todays bread experiment, the share needs drift below an unlikely 152p. For Barclays, we suspect it’s all a matter of patience.

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

Wincing while making a report on a dead parrot, starts to feel different this week. Maybe, there is a faint heartbeat from the #FTSE, the UK’s resident deceased avian! It’s worth remembering we’re still awaiting the UK reaching the starting point where the index can reasonably be expected to move from recovery to growth. As this level is around 7,550 points, with the FTSE now at 7,076 points, there remains distance to travel until the UK reaches “the starting point”.

As most other countries have been trading above their pre-pandemic highs for some time, we can hope the FTSE discovers sufficient strength to reach the start line fairly fast. For instance, Wall St kicked things off last year in November, Germany celebrated the start of 2021 by finally passing its pre-Covid high, and even France joined the party at the start of April. The Australian market, the ASX 200 is currently prowling seductively at the starting line and we’re curious how long it shall take to “kick off”, experiencing a surge toward the 7,850 level. At time of writing, Australia is trading around 7,100 points and a 10% rise will prove worthwhile, confirming a desire to attain new all time highs.

To return to the FTSE, we still need search for strength capable of bringing the UK up to the 7,550 level. As always, please remember we are discussing the real time market and NOT after hours futures!

The index closed Thursdays session at 7,076, needing above just 7,088 to trigger a cycle toward an initial 7,125 points. If exceeded, we calculate a secondary at 7,182 as a viable ambition. If triggered, the tightest stop is painfully wide at 7,000 points.

Despite these targets obviously falling far short of our growth trigger of 7,550, an interesting aspect of the calculations is our secondary level. In the event the UK finds reason to trade above this 7,182 level, the market hits a Big Picture trigger level, one which should promote a longer term concept of growth to 7,719 points with secondary, if bettered, a very sane looking 8,069 points. This will suffice to confirm the FTSE moving into the future with other grown up markets.

The converse argument continues to recede, now requiring the FTSE below 6,760 points for concern, along with sharp reversal potential to 6,265 points.
