#BrentCrude #WallSt Except for the stock markets, there’s a lot to be said for “nothing really happening” as we’re all in favour of a bit of peace and quiet, especially following the unpleasant year we’ve all experienced. Unfortunately, the FTSE 100 remains a fully paid up member of “The Lethargy Club” and this boredom has encompassed unpleasant numbers of shares. Thankfully, with the FTSE, the last week has given early warning for a change in fortunes and with Natwest, perhaps we should see the bank share price finally do something interesting.

The core issue with Natwest took place 6 weeks ago, a triggering movement which thus far has produced nothing. This has been so utterly frustrating we’re still featuring our irritation in this, our 3rd analysis since March 7th 2021. Despite moaning we’re not great with timeframes, it has been very frustrating witnessing the rest of the world enjoy stock markets which perform according to logic while in the UK, we’re a stock market which models itself after “The Sleeping Beauty”. We should maybe console ourselves with the sentiment, ‘while nothing good has happened, neither has anything bad’.

  NATW

Our immediate hope comes from easing of many UK Lockdown restrictions from 26th April. Perhaps this, finally, shall provide an excuse for the UK primary market to wake up and dance (or whatever Sleeping Beauty did) as we can calculate some interesting potentials from a Big Picture perspective, along with a fascinating near term ambition.

For Natwest share price, next above 201p remains with a hope for 212p next, this number fascinating us since March. The bank share price has done nothing to dispel the notion, just joylessly failed to make the final step to our target level.

What sparks our interest comes should the movement to 212p occur as this risks a cascade effect. Or at least, it would if the UK market opts to follow the examples being set in France, Germany, the USA, Japan, Australia, etc. Achieving 212p should prove important to The Big Picture, triggering a longer term cycle toward 251p with a longer term main attraction residing at 307p. It’s not often we can present a scenario for a retail bank which gives the prospect of 50% growth. If it were not for the visuals on the chart below, our inclination would be to distrust the game plan as a pipe dream.

At time of writing, the share is trading around 194p. The price needs below 183p to give reason for panic, allowing weakness to an initial 171p with secondary, if broken, a scary looking 141p.

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

#FTSE #Gold A few weeks can make a heck of a difference. Both are the same scene, the ‘only’ difference being an absence of Scotland’s usual grotty weather causing the 7 mtr garden waterfall to dry out. What was revealed, uniform rows of leafy moss hugging the cliff face, able to survive the worst of our climate here in Argyll.

The FTSE, on the other hand, is proving less than interesting and the 20 point trading range experienced during most of Thursday justified spending the day clearing vegetation from the stream, rather than watching the markets. The day felt similar to one of those “pretend” sessions, when London is scheduled to close at 12.30pm prior to a holiday and the market grudgingly goes through the motions. It was only with an hour of trade left did the index suddenly discover an ability to rise by a further lacklustre 20 points.

Unlike the waterfall snapshots, The FTSE, exhibits remarkably consistent behaviour. The two charts above highlight a remarkable lack of interesting behaviour, making us experience a mental transition from “is today the day” to “what’s the point, I’m going to clear the waterfall” and this sort of thing becomes a vicious circle, begging the question; “are people losing interest in the UK market?” The immediate situation has seen many triggering movements across members of the FTSE 100 but the lack of follow through is proving quite dismaying. In plain English, many shares should be going up yet failing to do so. We take some hope from the UK Aim market as it continues to outperform the FTSE and at 1,264 points, it’s 300 points above the high achieved before the Covid-19 drop. The FTSE 100, at 6938 points, is still languishing 560 points BELOW the pre Covid-19 high.

Perhaps naively, we’ve constantly expected “today will be the day”, constantly been let down, and we’re losing faith. Of course, the point at which the UK decides to play catch up will invariably occur when the maximum number of folk at looking elsewhere! The immediate situation with the FTSE now suggests the index requires exceed 7,125 points to make proper recovery almost impossible to avoid.

FTSE for FRIDAY

If we indulge our favourite scenario, a hunt for early signs of strength, above 6,960 points is now supposed to provoke the FTSE to attempt 6,995 points. Given recent conditions, we cannot sniff at the 35 point rise potential, even with the tightest stop looking like 6,900 points.

In the event 6,995 is exceeded, this gives the first hint of strength, especially as our secondary calculates at 7,055 points, placing the index solidly in a zone where an attempt at our Big Picture trigger level 7,125 can be expected. Visually, there are many suggestions the FTSE is about to experience some weakness and as a result, we’re curious as to whether “now is the time?”

 

If things intend go wrong, below 6,903 looks troubling, capable of sparking reversal down to an initial 6,873 points. If broken, our secondary calculates at 6,851 and the prospect of some sort of rebound. The implication should such a level break is the market finding a bottom around 6,785 points.

Have a good weekend. Us, by working on the waterfall, we’ve ticked off a nasty chore, so shall enjoy the good weather and do sod all…

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

#DAX_Futures #SP500_Futures While we enjoy Caribbean skies here in Argyll (but with Arctic temperatures) our thoughts turned to Bahamas Petroleum, a company who operate in some of the most desirable holiday destinations with a range of offshore exploration, appraisal, development and production assets and licences. They even operate on the land in Trinidad. Their share price has behaved badly over the last 5 years, now trading in a zone where we cannot calculate a bottom.

The important thing is, the share remains trading and perhaps the current upward volatility in the price of crude shall finally extend some grace to Bahama’s price movements. The share price has been trading at a pretty accurate bottom level just above 0.4p since February. While there has not been a convincing bounce, we are impressed at the effort employed to keep the share trading above 0.4p, hopefully an attempt to avoid creating an ‘Elvis has left the Building’ moment.

 

All we ask is for the price to almost double from current (0.525) as this should justify close attention, thanks to some strong acceleration potentials. Above 0.91p should prove capable of triggering recovery to an initial 1.37 with secondary, if exceeded, at 2.31p. At this level, things certainly have the opportunity to become exciting as arithmetically, the shares highs of 10 years ago could easily provoke strong growth, especially if price acceleration occurs due to positive news flow from the company. We’ve shown the various target levels on the chart, absolutely none of which appear viable currently but with closure above 0.91p, this ‘risks’ entering a cycle with 14p as an attractive eventual point of interest.

Obviously, we’re biased as we love the Bahama’s or indeed, anywhere warmer than Scotland at present.

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

#CAC40 #NK225 For some reason, our local petrol station attracts a diverse range of staff with surprising interests. The mental scars from making a mistake, asking “what you’re reading” revealed a lady hooked on ‘literary’ porn since buying “Shades of Grey”. She could – and did – talk about it relentlessly. One of the guys recently asked “what do you think of Zoomedica? (AMEX:ZOM) They’re a US company, specialising in diagnostics for animals. His girlfriend came across them while viewing something called ‘The Tiger King’. It was certainly clever product placement as the chap opted to buy shares at around the $2.2 level. Somehow or other, I remembered to run the numbers against the share and next time in the shop, reported the bad news it looked like reversing to $0.84. Thankfully, he’d not taken a heavy investment and the conversation (and share) was forgotten.

A few minutes ago, popping in to refuel, the guy was on duty, itching to report his holding was now worth less than half and how the heck could I know a company, previously never heard of, in a different continent, was going to suffer so badly in the months ahead. The App on his phone was reporting Zoomedica as trading at $0.83 dollars while we were talking and he was both impressed and quite agitated, still to learn to adopt stoic behaviour when trading the market. The lies we tell ourselves, “It’s a long term hold”, “it was just playtime money”, and the classic “guys on the internet say the company is about to release important news. Just wait!”, were doubtless queuing in his brain. Perhaps the real world experience of being caught up in hype from an internet chatroom (Reddit) providing the only research carried out will make the experience a cheap lesson. Who knows, there may even be a miracle in the offing as there’s a strong reason to anticipate a bounce around the current level. Any bounce capable of exceeding $1.60 will force a hard look at the share and we may even cover it here, due to the potential of a longer term $4.3 making an appearance.

 

This, of course, has absolutely nothing to do with BT Group, other than illustrate an example of us running analysis, then putting it out of our minds. We last reviewed BT Group 2 years ago (link) on 9th April 2019. It was trading around 223p, our report gave criteria for reversal to 99p. Despite checking BT daily for clients, we’d completely forgotten our public report and discovered the share price indeed hit our target last year, bouncing in the most lacklustre fashion in the period since. Our inclination is now toward some optimism for the future thanks to the share price now breaking through the five year downtrend and attempting to paint a series of higher highs.

The immediate situation with BT is fairly straightforward, the share price (presently trading around 153p) needing exceed 158p as this should trigger some price growth to an initial 176p. If exceeded, our longer term secondary is a bit confusing. It’s either 182p or 200p depending on which series of calculations we believe. Essentially, should 176p be exceeded in the course of normal trading, ongoing traffic to 182p makes sense. However, should 176p be exceeded thanks to some positive news, the share price could sharply accelerate to 200p. It’s pretty unusual to face this type of numeric calamity and it’s thanks to the share price opting to remain fascinated with the 99p level for six months last year.

Visually, there’s a pretty strong argument favouring some hesitation, if the 200p level ever makes an appearance and we’d certainly prefer running the numbers again at such a point.

Finally, if BT decides to dial the wrong number, below 99p risks trauma with a probable visit to 86p, a short lived bounce, then a visit to 42p as the ultimate bottom we can calculate. Needless to say, we’ve already forgotten that secondary ambition!

*** It’s easy to suspect our article on Argo for Tuesday didn’t impress the folk who’ve been finding the adverts on this page interesting. Perhaps BT will ring the right bells!

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

#Gold #WallSt_Futures This one has proven a surprise. When we last reviewed the share back in January this year, we’d given our usual two drop criteria. Our initial target was hit and broken, the secondary drop target remained untroubled with the share bouncing 11p above. Then the fairy story commenced with the share confidently triggering and exceeding all three of our growth target levels. We even used the technical term; ‘if things go nuts’ in describing the potentials.

Our third level target was given as 149p and we’ve even circled it on the chart below.

 

Something funny happened!

 

We’d a pretty solid reason to anticipate some hesitation at the 149p level. There are times when we warn folk to watch out for the market opting to gap a share price up and in this example, the reason for the warning is pretty evident.  On February 15th, when the market chose to neatly gap (manipulate) the share price above our target, sending a pretty strong indication plans for further upward price movement were intended. At that particular point in time, the highest number we could calculate was 149p, leaving us clueless as to the final destination. Eventually topping out at 332p, the price is now starting to make a degree of sense, doubtless due to the reality of enjoying a trading history.

Legend has it ‘Gaps’ in share price movements are generally covered with a share experiencing sharp reversals to the level of whatever manipulation gap is being chased. In the case of Argo, it was gapped UP from 143p in 15th Feb, the price neatly covering the gap with reversals on Monday 19 April. As a result, a bunch of folk are probably expecting a rebound from current levels, due to the ‘gap being filled’. Unfortunately, there is no requirement for these share price gaps to be covered and the harsh reality is, most of them are not.

But sometimes, if sufficient people believe a story, there can be a mass of buying pressure in the following session which in itself provokes a bounce. In the case of Argo, any bounce needs exceed 180p before we can take it seriously. Instead, we suspect some pain awaits for holders in the immediate future.

With traffic below 132p, we calculate the potential for reversal to an initial 120p. If broken, our secondary works out at 92p and hopefully a proper bounce. We can provide an ultimate drop level of 63p, this being the point we can no longer compute below. The visuals with 63p, given the level of previous lows indicate the potential for a proper bounce. We’re obviously far from happy discussing a scenario where the share price risks more than halving but the share has become dangerous. For the cautious, perhaps worth keeping a weather eye on it, just in case 63p makes a guest appearance in the weeks ahead.

 

We mentioned previously any bounce currently needs exceed 180p to be taken seriously. This will bring the share price back above Red on the chart, regaining the immediate uptrend. As a result, we can calculate an initial target of 222p with secondary, if exceeded, a more attractive sounding 259p. Once again, if the price “goes nuts”, we shall give a third target level and this time it’s at 337p.

It’s truly pleasing, knowing folk read this far down and still find time to view the adverts on the page. Definitely buys the coffee, so thanks yet again.

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

Barclays Plc (LSE:BARC) Optimism spring’s from funny places. In the case of Barclays, we’re now officially positive for the share price future, due to a movement of 4/100ths of a penny! The sensible part of the brain is firmly in favour of sanity, our software has quite different ideas, now opting to colour Barclays a cheerful Blue to indicate the price has achieved a Higher High after breaking a downtrend and, frankly, being pretty boring for the last 3 weeks.

It can be assumed our software is easily impressed but the surprising thing is, it’s rarely wrong with this sort of thing. Barclays breakout closing price High was 189.14p and the share managed to close the day on Friday at 189.18p. This tiny little change was sufficient to trigger the change shown below, a switch from non-committal black text to exciting blue text, a visual cue something truly unusual happened with a UK Retail Bank.

Warning: Technical Guff Ahead. By 4/100ths of a penny, we’re now tasked with providing an analysis which will have readers on the edge of their seats, positively drooling at the prospect of happy days ahead. Due to previous recovery models, built  following movements in US and German markets, we’re actually inclined to take our software’s giddy behaviour seriously. We obviously wrote the software, it doesn’t have magical powers but currently employs several hundred formula against which each price movement is measured.  For those who’ve ever fallen down Spreadsheet Macro wormholes, it’s effectively a rather complex “If THIS, then do THAT. Else if THAT, then do THIS” series of equations. For this particular moment of share price recovery, we’re forced to compare “what happened next” with the immediate situation at Barclays, then extrapolate forward the potentials for the future.

Please remember, this is due to a 4/100ths of a penny trigger movement. Perhaps the equivalent of that bloke on the Titanic bridge who saw a flake of snow and was told to ignore it! Had they paid attention, we’d be spared a terrible film and terrible soundtrack.

So, now we’ve run out of excuses to delay, optimism now suggests continued recovery above 191p for Barclays Plc faces share price movement to an initial 240p. With closure above 240p, our software tells us to expect a longer term 288p. We do have a little ‘sanity clause’ suggesting the long term trade potential can only be marked “safe”, once the share price is actually trading above 198p. This formula is one of these ‘belt & braces’ things, where we attempt to define the point beyond which something becomes inevitable. For it all to go wrong for Barclays, the share price needs founder below 140p, a concept which is visually unlikely but in todays world, who knows.

This certainly shall provide a wide and sane stop loss level for anyone trying a Long term position.

 

The date today is 19th April 2021 and will be remembered as; “On This Day In History, Trends & Targets Expressed Optimism About A UK Retail Bank!”

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.
