#FTSE #DOW Numbers can prove bothersome. For instance, the UK has 22% of the US’s population yet suffers 50% of its daily death rate. In America, unemployment is heading toward 20% and retail sales have dropped most on record. And in the closing minutes of the futures market on Thursday 16th, the FTSE rose by 80 points while Wall St rose by 300 points. Germany tallied up 125 points in the closing minutes of the day and Japan pulled 200 points from nowhere!

It’s true to remind folk the stock market is not the economy, more a reflection of how people are betting on the future. With so many people at home, doubtless glued to Bloomberg and CNBC on telly, we start to suspect the betting market is doing quite nicely as a result. Of course, if an economy has gone down the pan, so shall the stock market but we suspect we’re seeing the effects of a belief that “things shall get better” reflected in market movements.

The alternative could be true, people are just stupid and denying the evidence before them.

From a personal standpoint, I prefer to hope things shall get better eventually. The only little problem shall doubtless be any market recovery treated as “factored in” with the resultant scenario of positive news failing to budge the markets.

 

A brief reality check ensued during the day. After 10 years, a garden strimmer engine refused to stay running when it was finally awoken from its winter slumber. Even twitching a finger toward the throttle made the engine stall, suggesting some time was needed on YouTube, learning how to clean out the carburettor. After watching no less than 3 videos, a viewing experience which safely consumed an hour, there was apparently only one fix. You do not clean carburettors, you spend between 8 and 12 pounds and buy a new one. Following a further visit to Ebay, plenty were available from China only.

It transpires you can still dismantle a carb, clean it, assemble it, and the strimmer will run reliably. The downside hit hard, all excuses to avoid tackling the edges of the grass drowned out with the noise of a cheerfully burbling engine.

The reality check? There was absolutely no way a component was being ordered from China.

 

There are now two, quite different, game plans for Friday.

1. As for the FTSE for Friday, unfortunately, we need a return to the horror of numbers. The FTSE closed Thursday at 5,642 points but FTSE Futures after-hours surged up to 5,728 points. We believe something quite painful risks happening as there’s a very real risk of the FTSE being spiked up to somewhere around 5,725 points at the open on Friday. If this is indeed the case, movement above 5,725 claims to be capable of trying for an initial 5,740 with secondary, if exceeded, at 5,799 points.
2. If the market is not spiked up at the open, above 5,662 points is supposed to be capable of trying for an initial 5,698 points. If bettered, our secondary works out at 5,724 points.

We prefer Option 2 but suspect neither shall occur. Instead, another danger rears its head.

 

On the basis the market is spiked up at the open, perhaps to just above 5,700 points, there’s a reasonable argument favouring some reversals should be anticipated. If this is indeed the case, reversals taking the UK below Thursdays 5,577 risk reversal to an initial 5,500 points. If broken, secondary is down at 5,398 points.

 

Sorry about the foregoing. It’s as complex as a Soap storyline on TV but we suspect the surprise rise in market futures shall prove to be one of these absurd events, a need for the market to go up, so it can go down. Have a good weekend.

#Gold #France We often berate the media for their never-ending doom and gloom, then realise we can be guilty too. Last month, we warned of danger should #Lloyds slip below 47.8p (Link) and it did, ‘successfully’ hitting our drop target of 31p. We’re genuinely not proud about this sort of thing, just rather concerned thanks to Lloyds breaking our drop target briefly on the initial surge downward. Similar to yesterday’s glance at Barclays, we now need to stir the tea leaves again and recalculate future potentials.

At present, the share is trading around 29.75p.

There’s a pretty obvious trigger level residing at 27.7p as traffic below such a level is liable to deflate the share price down to an initial 26.7p. If broken, secondary calculates down at 21.25p and we’ve really hope for a reasonable rebound, if such a target level appears. The big problem, if the price CLOSES below 21.25 is the retail bank share price enters a region where our “ultimate bottom” works out at a silly sounding 5p.

 

One ray of hope with a target of 21.25p is it matches the low of 2011, when Lloyds Bank was given its final kicking thanks to the financial crash of 2008/9. Should the share price explore such a hideous depth, there’s an entire nation of chart watchers who will doubtless assume “double bottom”, jumping in to catch a solid rebound. We need to remind, yet again, this share cannot afford to close below such a target level as the implications are worse than a Downing St press briefing.

 

The slightly better news possible is if Lloyds would find sufficient reason to now trade above 35p. We hope this shall present itself as a trigger level to drive recovery up to an initial 40p with secondary, if exceeded, working out at a longer-term (or next day) target of 48p. Above such a level, it will be essential we return to tea leave stirring duties but certainly a sigh of relief will be justified.

#Brent #Dax A month ago, we devoted 29 words to speculate what would happen to Barc’s share price, if it floundered below 139p. Guess what, it did! (LINK) Unfortunately, the price broke our target 90p level repeatedly which means we must now concentrate on worse potentials.

The situation now suggests trauma, if the price meanders below 79p. Such a ridiculous movement allows continued travel downward to an initial 47p. If broken, our secondary works out at 26p and (hopefully) ultimate bottom. We cannot currently calculate a bottom level below 26p.

There is something slightly interesting about 47p as an initial drop target. This matches Barclays low of 2009, presenting a point where most of the world shall anticipate a rebound. We’d advocate caution if 47p breaks on any initial surge downward. It will tend to make a bounce short-lived and worse, confirm the potential of 26p making a guest appearance sometime in the future.

 

At present, Barclays requires to trade above 110p just to suggest any recovery “might” be real. Moves above 109p calculate with an initial bounce target of 121p with secondary, if exceeded, up at a more reasonable sounding 135p.

 

For now, we’re not holding our breath but are wearing a face mask…

#FTSE #DOW Usually, we’d be doing mental handstands, the period between Xmas and the Easter market break usually dragging on for years. This time, we were taken completely unawares by Easter, utterly surprised at the market closing on Friday and Monday. Where did that come from? Hopefully, we’re not the only folk aghast at the sudden appearance of a ‘holiday’. For us, the penny finally dropped once the US closed on Thursday.

Of course, we can’t actually do anything for the ‘holiday’. The demon grand-daughters cannot visit but equally, we can’t pack the dogs into the car and grab a ferry to an island with a decent beach and BBQ potentials. Absolutely nothing shall differentiate this weekend from every other recently except, perhaps, the weather.

 

On the other hand, the FTSE managed to close for the long weekend in a region which apparently permits some optimism. You’re going to need sit down for the next bit.

 

Our software claims movement now above 5,845 allows market travel to an initial 6,266 points. If exceeded, the secondary calculation is now at 6,499 points and beyond. Sharp-eyed readers will notice we’ve credited this potential entirely to ‘our software’, thanks to a decision to employ social distancing from the computer.

It will be worth remembering, come the market re-opening on Tuesday, all the bean counters who count death shall return to work. There’s the risk the media will joyfully find some truly dreadful numbers to gloat over, somehow managing to consign the fact it’s 4 days of misery into the small print.

 

For now, have a safe weekend. And enjoy the chocolate.

#Germany #SP500 First they stole the sky, then they stole society! Those who remember the eerie pause in air travel, following 911, will recall how spooky it was. Skies rarely absent an aircraft, were now devoid of traffic. Now, so are the roads and the sky. Our ‘bit’ in Argyll, Scotland, looks across a 3-mile wide sea loch to a main road, darkness usually punctuated by fast-moving motorcycles, trucks with rows of amber lights, thumping Harley’s and their mid-life crisis riders, the odd supercar whine, occasional police cars trying to calm things down. And of course, the blue lights of an ambulance attending a mess somewhere.

This evening, neither the distant road nor the sky above has anything moving. The new silence asked the question, where have all the people gone?

 

It’s unlikely G4S have locked them up, if we judge by the share price…

 

The recent plunge to 70p was distinctly worrying, this taking the price below a very critical level for the longer term. Normally we would have hoped 96p would provide a floor level but this theoretical trigger level was broken on the initial plunge. Therefore, despite a bit of a bounce, we’re concerned for the future and can present some “what if it all goes wrong” numbers.

Now below 70p suggests the potential of further travel down to 43p next, a point where a real bounce can be hoped for. But should 43p break, ultimate bottom works out at 6p.

 

If a turnaround in the share price is hoped for, we initially need to see it trade above 102p. Such an event allows a trigger to an initial 125p. If exceeded, our secondary calculation works out at 150p.

Who knows, perhaps the reports of police issuing “on the spot” fines to people caught with a bottle of wine among their grocery shopping, the crime apparently being of non-essential shopping. To be honest, we suspect this story comes from the Facebook School of news. Can you imagine politicians being told not to drink?

#France #WallSt Two recent stories standout as frightening in the days of Covid-19. Firstly, news the Scottish Govt intended to ban the sale of alcohol during the crisis (a joke thankfully). Secondly, local council health fascists attempting to define Chocolate Eggs as ‘non-essential’ proved not to be a joke. Thankfully supermarkets quickly opted not to restrict the sale of Easter eggs, doubtless hoping for a buying frenzy. Either story risked igniting public unrest!

Of course, the price of chocolate eggs always verges on theft, especially if you spoil the moment by comparing the actual weight of an Easter egg with a normal bar of chocolate. Very quickly, you start to appreciate there is a bigger area of corporate theft than the price of Epson printer inks! None of this has anything to do with Qinetiq’s share price, other than a reminder the Coronavirus event casts its shadow everywhere. We even had ‘Queenie’ channeling her inner Vera Lynn with her wartime speech, reminding us ‘We’ll Meet Again’. The mention of war did remind us to review Qinetiq, given the companies focus.

 

At present, the price is trading at 321p and needs below 232p to suggest someone’s noticed you can’t shoot Superflu germs down with a missile. Such a triggering movement risks reversal to an initial 201p, along with a doubtless fake rebound. But should 201p break, the price could easily nosedive down to 136p as a bottom, hopefully. There is a threat below 136p and it’s visually quite absurd.

Apparently, should 136p, our ultimate bottom calculation works out at just 9p! Aside from some exquisite calculations, nothing visually justifies such a result. Hopefully, the low of 2010 shall provide (if any of this scenario triggers) ample excuse for a rebound, somewhere around the 95p level.

 

This analysis remains part of our “what if it all goes wrong” series. It’s perhaps worth pointing out Qinetiq only need trade above 352p to give some hope for the immediate future. Such a triggering level allows recovery to an initial 393p. If bettered, secondary calculates at a far less likely (in todays environment) of 441p, a new all-time high. Maybe they SHALL design a missile which can shoot down a virus…

#Gold #SP500 In our glance at “what if it all goes wrong” share prices, the style of Covid-19 Mortality presentation reminds of the awful football results program on Saturday afternoons in the 1970s. In a house awaiting Dr Who on a Saturday evening, the dirge of dreary football results was detested. How could the BBC even think people were interested in football! For those who ignore history, in the 1970s there were mostly 3 TV channels showing garbage, mostly. Aside from the number of channels, the output remains the same, mostly.

 

It was something of a surprise to discover Manchester United are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, their share price behaving with greater probity than witnessed a few years ago when we covered Glasgow Ranger’s listing, an offering which ended in tears and tantrums. The debate continues, are the current Rangers Football Club an entirely new business or one justified in displaying trophy’s won by the original team?

An article on players’ salaries informed us, alongside an obvious risk of Sky TV wanting their money back for games unplayed, some trouble is queuing up to give football clubs a bit of a kicking.

 

For Manchester United, we’ve allocated a trigger level at 11.4 dollars, the scenario suggesting weakness below such a level allows a shot in the direction of 9.2 dollars. If broken, our secondary calculation (and the point at which we’d REALLY hope for a bounce) works out at 5.2 dollars.

There’s a very big problem if any initial surge breaks below 5.2 as we cannot comfortably calculate an ultimate bottom. Perhaps 0.4 will suffice, perhaps not. Regardless, it looks absolutely absurd. Equally difficult for the naked eye to digest (?) is the downtrend since 2018 as it suggests Manchester’s share price needs exceed 19.1 dollars presently to suggest it’s climbing out of trouble. At present, the price is showing an unhealthy fascination for the uptrend (Red) since 2012, the price oscillating above and below this historical remnant. This sort of holding pattern, following a previous break of a trend, never fills us with confidence.
