#FTSE The price of oil has reversed but not with any great commitment, so far. The US announced they were not going to attack Iran on Thursday evening as a Peace Deal with be signed shortly. Needless to say, Iran announced three hours later no final decision had been reached and thus, it was the US’s fault. The market appears to be inured to political nonsense, the price of Brent reversing to the $88 dollar level, insufficient (in our opinion) to successfully trigger some real softening of the oil price. At present, we calculate Brent Crude needs below $85.50 to trigger a convincing cycle of drops, perhaps with a target now around $62 and a return to the price levels experienced in February this year.

As for the FTSE, it has been behaving with similar conviction as the price of Crude, and again it’s probably politics to blame. It’s certainly looking like a problem for the UK Prime Minister who’s proving a little careless in keeping Government Ministers, several choosing to resign rather than back the current “cunning plan” for the military. Essentially, it appears the UK Treasury and Prime Minister have concluded the easiest way to sort out of the military will be to make it vanish. After all, if there was not a military, they couldn’t be accused of failing to manage the military. Apparently a “Budget Review” is to be released on Friday, when Parliament isn’t sitting, which shall reveal substantial cuts in spending. Perhaps this means all the Royal Navy’s rowing boats will only have one oar, thus able to go in circles and nothing else. It’s going to be interesting if the current PM survives in his post until the end of the month and the FTSE now “feels” like it is waiting something significant happening.

Near term, if the FTSE intends do anything positive, above 10,370 should prove important, hopefully triggering market gains to an initial 10,450 with our secondary, if beaten, at 10,479 points. This would certainly be significant, nudging the market into a zone where a third level target of 10,595 calculates as very possible. If triggered, the tightest stop loss level looks like 10,252 points. Hopefully some positive news breaks as it’d be nice to enjoy the Barcelona Grand Prix with a backdrop of the markets turning positive.

Should things intend go awry, below 10,252 could trigger near term reversal to an initial 10,213 points. If broken, our secondary works out at 10,123 points.

Have a good weekend and enjoy the race from Spain, often quite entertaining.

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

#WallSt #NasdaQ Back in April, we speculated BP share price would fall to 500p, if it dipped below a trigger level of 531p. Thankfully – from our perspective – the share price agreed with our calculations, hitting an exceedingly precise 500p on May 26th and bouncing a little bit thereafter. This is perhaps good, a signal the market does not wish Insect Urine to fall too far… This dreadful joke obviously derives from Bee Pee, a company long capable of looking down and spraying their largesse on traders! But we’re going “Back to School” briefly with the charts below.

BP has a very obvious Blue downtrend, dating back to 2018. This particular downtrend was confirmed, repeatedly, by the market and when the share price broke upward in March of this year, we experienced a small gust of optimism, this sort of thing usually being the harbinger of a happy future. Unfortunately, the US President had other ideas, a cunning plan to boost the price of oil and thus, US revenues. Unfortunately, the “cunning plan” is falling apart and as the lower chart extract exhibits, confidence in the price of BP shall diminish, along with the price of Crude Oil. The funny thing, the US President is able to say; “Not my fault ‘Gov, it’s entirely the other guy to blame!” . But as we see confidence in artificially inflated prices diminish, it’s also reasonable to anticipate the price of oil reversing soon and effecting BP share price. This is doubly important as the US needs “a win”  to give sufficient propaganda for the coming US mid-term elections.

Therefore, if we anticipate some amateur dramatics with oil prices, BP have a share price which is poised for some fun.

From a near term perspective, eyebrows should twitch if the share price falls below just 515p. Movement such as this is currently capable of driving reversals to an intial 490p with our secondary, if broken, calculating down at 459p along with a valid argument for a bounce. The crazy thing, this should see US Crude back in the 50 dollar range, along with Brent splashing around in the low 60’s. But for BP, if our calculation of a “bottom” at 459p breaks, we can present a visually absurd potential at 387p.  Unfortunately, it’s not that absurd, given it matches prices in 2025 before the Strait of Hormuz became a no boating zone.

The somewhat annoying calculation with BP is the price level of 550p, share price closure above which capable of targeting a “surprise” rise to an initial 652p with secondary, if bettered, an eventual 721p.

We think, with the USA and looming elections, oil prices shall be forced to reverse, probably give the major oil shares a bit of a hammering and in BP’s case, a hopeful bounce point at 459p. It’s funny to speculate, economically, the only people who are benefiting from the Straits shambles are the people actually involved in it. Which is a bit mad and if only the war against our neighbours hedge could produce a similar result. (We don’t care how big the hedge grows as it belongs to a neighbour who is paranoid about the 2 metre height designation. But terrified at the cost of removing, annually, a substantial amount of cuttings. And from our side of the fence, the little tractor gathers everything and drags it up to the burn pile. It’s a strange hedge war, the “victim” not complaining and the culprit in a flat panic. But then again, we’ve a massive garden area but other properties locally tend to be very large and with sensible garden sizes. The other neighbour has a 9 bedroom house, our properties separated by a wall, a pretty energetic stream and the noisy waterfall we complain about, often. Both neighbours admit they wish they’d our simple little cottage, where the only challenge is cutting the sodding grass. Our little mowing robot is “resting”, while we await a dry period to finish digging the robot perimeter cable into the ground.

But this is Argyll, where Scotland probably invented rain! After all, the sodden country invented everything else.

Should BP somehow decide to exhibit some strength, above 550 should designate a growth cycle to an initial 652p with our secondary, if beaten, working out at 721p sometime in an imaginary future. Our suspicion, backed up by the weakening charts above, is to anticipate reversals.

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

#FTSE #JAPAN Something quite horrible is going on with Taylor Wimpey, it almost feeling like all the Doctors, Engineers, AI Wizards, flooding across the Channel in small boats are failing to join in the competitive boom to buy new homes. This year has seen Taylor Wimpey share price slump from 115p to 75p, a drop of 35%. Obviously, the Bank of England’s ongoing assault on industry has been the primary cause, interest rates remaining higher than they should and making the idea of new mortgages quite difficult. Now, with the added excuse of Iran, the BoE will doubtless continue its efforts to stifle the economy and contribute to inflationary pressures.

What we don’t entirely get is the flow of positive stories for Taylor Wimpey, boasting of coming developments all over the place. Across on the mainland, there’s even talk of them building 100 new homes in an area nicknamed Scotlands Chernobyl, an utterly failed 1970’s development of council flats. While the largely destroyed buildings remain, they certainly prove a useful backdrop for film companies shooting Zombie scenes or a backdrop of urban warfare scenes, the only part of the area which remains (mostly) intact being the road network. For visitors, when approaching Port Glasgow, DO NOT go left at the first roundabout as even Dante didn’t envision such desolation in his circles of hell. The council thought they were building flats for shipyard workers, exquisitely timed for the decade when all the shipyards shut down.

Touching on the subject of the media, we recently watched an excellent Netflix show called “Should I Marry a Murderer?”. Were it not for the subject matter, the tourism authorities would surely promote the 3 part program. The camerawork shows why Argyll is tolerable, even the place where the bloke hid the body providing amazing views. Such was the effect of the Covid-19 lockdown we knew nothing of the events depicted, a true story. It’s a tale in which the bloke currently in prison probably will regard his near marriage to the lady doctor, thinking from behind bars; “Gosh, dodged a bullet there!”. It was compulsive viewing, “starring” the lady doctor herself.

The underlying theme to the tale was fairly simple. Don’t ride a bicycle at night on a remote fast (60mph+) road, after the pubs close. Scotland, with very little in the way of motorways, is served with some incredibly fast “A” roads, where cyclists should be banned. There is no logic which allows a poorly lit object at 12mph pedalling along an A road with a 60 or 70 mph speed limit. As they saying goes; “being in the right is no consolation to the next of kin”. But in this instance, the guy really should not have buried the body and concealed the incident, an unfortunate side effect of the terror Drink/Drive laws induce in drunk drivers. A personal memory, from the 1980’s, involved being helped from the bar in Argyll into my 4×4, so I could drive a bunch of folk home. En-route, a police car was encountered on the single track road, easily avoided by driving off road around him. Then, it was funny, doubly so as I’d engaged “low ratio” on the gearbox to ensure the off roader couldn’t exceed 27mph, a safety precaution which made sense through a whisky haze. From the same period, I can tell the tale of a community police officer in Sutherland, making his way across a road from the Richonich on his hands and knees and pulling himself into his police car, driving off, eventually realising turning on his lights might help. The subsequent crash was, as always, blamed on a deer.

Returning to the subject, we like Taylor Wimpey, if only because their previous incarnation as Taylor Woodrow provided the best holiday experience for a child. They were building a hydro electric scheme in Romania, my favourite uncle was a manager, my Dad decided we’d drive there in a brand new Vauxhall VX4/90 in 1976. The trip was amazing, this gold coloured flagship of the Vauxhall range having children running alongside and waving as we drove through countries which no longer exist. When we returned to the UK, the car was returned to Luton (Vauxhall) and he grabbed a Rover 3500 as his daily car, admitting the Vauxhall flagship never let him just sit back and relax. With less haste, Taylor Woodrow changed to Taylor Wimpey but still remain as the hosts of an astounding holiday in Europe, an era where there were borders between each country and our UK passports allowed us through on a nod at every checkpoint.

Except in Romania.

My Dad (and I)  had to go into the border office, hand over a 200 pack of Marlboro cigarettes wrapped in a newspaper, then waved away by suddenly cheerful customs guards. Romania was “different”.

But currently, Taylor Wimpey share price is a little bit terrifying. Despite the companies stonking great dividend, the share value appears to be fascinated with Lemming migration,  currently residing in a zone where weakness below 74.9p risks triggering reversal to an initial 68.2p. Our secondary, if broken, calculates down at an absurd 47p, a number which makes no visual sense. Unless we return to the era of the market crash from 2009, when the stock market was being ruined by spectacular levels of governmental incompetence, internationally. It’s funny how easy it is to develop a theme that what really damages economies, are politicians.

Should Taylor Wimpey intend dig itself out of the current hole, we’d be inclined to regard above 81.7p as a viable trigger level, one which calculates as provoking recovery to an initial 92p with our secondary, if beaten, working out at a future 105p and the need to look hard at the tea leaves again.

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

Perhaps stupidly, we planned to use our Monday night report to encompass the popular Crypto currency items, all of them. It transpired, quite obviously, our ambition was foolish, the bandwidth of the varied Crypto’s proving quite a big job to map. Thus, we’re kicking off with Ethereum this week, will perhaps view Bitcon next week, and Ripple thereafter as the retail banks make quite a bit more sense than Cryptocurrency.

By our usual rules, Ethereum value is in a lot of trouble, the value of the supposed asset currently shuffling around at the start of a cycle which ends up with a minus price, obviously impossible.

When we muck around with crayons and trend lines, there appears to be a chance the market has realised Ethereum has been allowed to reverse too far. At present, the price is showing an unhealthy fascination with the Red uptrend since 2021. This sort of thing isn’t unknown and often provides the presage for some surprise positive movements. It is certainly the case ETHUSD could do with such a surprise as the Crypto price spiking downward to around -$590 would be as desirable as a politician showing up at a party or social event. As we’re located in Scotland, we’re more than justified in throwing ridicule toward the “trough” underclass of humanity. A standing joke is Nicola (blinks when lying) Sturgeon spent 9 hours saying “No Comment” in her interview with the police, when she told the media she was giving full and frank assistance to their enquiries. Even the police felt they had to issue a correction to her media statements.

Our suspicion is to anticipate panic recovery on the price of the imaginary currency. Should this actually be the case, we can allocate $1,725 as a potential trigger, once capable of promoting rises to an initial 1,867 with our secondary, when exceeded, at 2,069 dollars. And perhaps beyond to an eventual 2,529 dollars and the need for us to panic and urgently review our projections.

In this instance, we suspect a surprise recovery is on the cards for Ethereum.

#Brent #Dax As expected, Monaco provided a boring race, albeit one with plenty of entertainment of around 1/4 of the drivers penalised for speeding in the pit lane, along with a few of them hitting walls. Eventually a reasonable bump provided a Red flag, stopping the race and producing 7 laps of pretend racing, the drivers unable to pass the car in front. Which is the big problem with Monaco but we’ve learned the sneaky way to make the event tolerable. Record it, then watch on Fast Forward. Unfortunately, we cannot do this Retail Banking Sector share prices but, gosh, we wish we could.

Nine sessions ago NatWest share price broke through this years Blue downtrend. In the period since, NatWest share prices have “done a Monaco”, their share price exploring a fascinating 10p range of closing prices while it effectively has done nothing. For a share flirting with the 6 quid level, a 10p range of prices failed to give any sort of reasonable Risk/Reward for traders. The share price is “supposed” to be heading upward, hesitation doubtless being blamed on the Iran thing. Or perhaps the Lebanon thing. Our suspicion, once the various “things” are cleared up, is for NatWest to hopefully explode into life, accelerating upward faster than a projectile fired from Beirut.

It appears, given this tedious flatline behaviour, that movement next above 604.5p should ‘reliably’ trigger gains to an initial 622 with our secondary, if bettered, a very probable 631p. Visually, there are three arguments favouring some hesitation at such a level but closure above 631p shall be viewed as significant for the longer term, theoretically triggering a future 682p and a challenge against a Light Blue downtrend which dates back to 2008.

For things to go wrong, below 553p would be a bad thing, risking a visit to 506p with our secondary, if broken an unlikely 438p. Our inclination is toward optimism for this share.

#FTSE #Nasdaq As we brace ourselves for the boring procession of cars in the so-called “race” from Monaco, we appreciated the British driver George Russell expressing the sentiment that the race should be scrapped. Instead, running a Qualifying Session on Saturday along with another on Sunday, awarding points on the times achieved, would offer more entertainment than the “race”. After years and years of watching Formula1, it’s impossible to disagree with such a concept as the Saturday qualifying is always the best bit, famously once spoiled by Michael Schumacher ‘accidentally crashing’ to inhibit other competitors from beating his time.

Since the start of April, the FTSE has been doing processional driving, manoeuvring on an imaginary track 400 points wide and like Monaco, providing very little in the way of entertainment!

For the future, we’re inclined to anticipate the worst because this is the FTSE, an index always ready to disappoint both participants and spectators. At present, there’s a threat weakness below 10,238 points shall trigger reversal to a tame near term 10,203 points and perhaps a bounce. However, a break of 10,203 points could signal trouble, powering reversal to 10,080 points with our Big Picture secondary coming in at a hopeful ‘bottom’ of 9.833 points. To indulge a bout of hysteria, this could easily prove to be the start of a proper market “correction”, probably to be blamed on AI optimism collapsing. As a result, the Big Picture gives the potential of a “real” bottom working out at a ridiculous looking 8,840 points…

Of course, there’s always a “however” and in the case of the FTSE, it may come from the strength of Wall Street, an index which has been achieving “higher highs” every few days recently. Perhaps some of this optimism from the American market shall spill across the pond to infect gullible folk in the UK. To be fair, we’ve been expecting a visit to 10,200 for a while and the fact the UK index has avoiding impaling itself at such a level maybe indicates some well hidden strength.

Should this indeed be the case, we can throw some near term numbers into the frame as above just 10,378 points should apparently trigger movement to an initial 10,470 points with our longer term secondary, if beaten, at 10,582 points. While this would initially suggest the index is once again swerving across its 400 point wide track, but this time, opening the door for a 3rd level target if the secondary is exceeded, an impressive 11,153 points and another new all time high.

We can hope the UK market intends follow the US example. Perhaps the US leader shall avoid playing with big fireworks until their countries 4th July celebration of 250 years of independence, as the entire nation continues to kiss the ground, praising the fact they are immune from incompetent UK politicians.

Have a good weekend, hopefully without a climate similar to our Scottish weather. Our garden waterfall is currently in full flow and it’s not snow melt but instead, due to heavy, very heavy, rain. My wife phoned at 4pm, saying she’d pulled over on the drive home as it was impossible to move safely in a rainstorm. It was true, the other side of the loch completely obscured in a rain cloud  just 2 miles away. But I was in the garden, in sunshine, once again reinforcing the perimeter cable for the lawn robot. It seems 5cm is the optimum underground level to bury it, an easy job to 3d print a special tool to feed the cable the correct depth. This perimeter cable has rapidly become hated, the source of properly sore backs. But the little robot remains the leading contender to replace the little red tractor.

#FTSE #STOXX A couple of requests regarding Georgina Energy were impossible to ignore, if only due to Mrs T&T’s name being Georgina. We wonder what inspired the company name as we cannot find anything which perhaps relates to their holdings in the USA. We’ve a terrible track record with Helium & Hydrogen biased companies, our enthusiasm for future fuel which isn’t based on electricity, invariably producing an optimistic tone, regardless of what the numbers may be saying…

We can currently argue about the dangers of any break against the immediate Red uptrend, an irritating line for 2026 which currently suggests any break below 2.75p risks a visit to 0.85p and that’s it! We cannot calculate anything below such a level, so hopefully we are now viewing a share which has seen a bottom. Visually, this would seem to be the case.

Above 7.2p anytime soon would give sufficient reason for optimism. A movement such as this is liable to trigger recovery to an initial 9.6p with our secondary for the longer term, if bettered, working out at a future 13.8p. Given the share price is presently trading around 5.8p, it’s also worth pointing out, should it discover sufficient excuse to close above 13.8p in the future, we can already promote the concept of a Big Picture attraction coming from 21p.

Who knows, perhaps Australia shall prove useful for something?

One thing which remains a puzzle came from many of the graphics on Georgina Energy website, quite a lot of space given over to images of the now cancelled US Space Shuttle, along with rather a few artist renderings of impossible spacecraft. It certainly cheers up their internet presence, while providing absolutely no information unless, perhaps, they intend mine Helium3 on the Moon.
