#FTSE_futures With US Payrolls Friday, we’ve almost gotten to the point of ignoring the day as exuberant market swings have declined over the last few years. The “fun” of trying to make sense of a fistful of darts being thrown by the markets is now mostly absent yet we suspect this is what “they” want us to think.

After all, when the stock markets stop doing stupid things, it’s generally a sign they’re really gearing up toward something really offensive and when we step back and review some recent triggers which have been hit, things could go silly quite swiftly now. Brent Crude is a case in point.

We reviewed Brent a few weeks ago, warning of the risks should the $86 level break. This price level was toasted a couple of days ago and now, from an immediate perspective, we can report continued weakness below 83.4 looks capable of promoting a visit to 82.8 with secondary, if broken, calculating down at 80.4 dollars. But it may be worth remembering our threat of real danger, when the $86 dollar barrel sprung a leak, came from a Big Picture perspective as the stuff is now seen as trading in a zone where a cycle down to 75.8 is now suspected with secondary, if broken, at an eventual $57. The nicest thing about all this potential calamity comes from the tightest stop loss level, the product needing above $86 to greatly negate current weakness potentials or above $88.7 to cancel our calculations.

FTSE for FRIDAY.  Last Friday, we presented a scenario where the FTSE risks a trip down to 7392 points. On Monday, the FTSE indeed hit the trigger level and on Wednesday it hit our target, even exceeding it slightly before bouncing from 7384 points. For a few minutes, we even thought our target level was going to be exact but the FTSE had other ideas. This created a bit of a problem as the FTSE closed the day in dangerous territory and now risks the immediate future becoming unpleasant.

Now below 7384 points risks forcing a visit down to 7264 points with our secondary, if this level breaks, working out at an eventual 7103 points. Visually, neither ambition makes much sense but we’re a little worried as the last few weeks has seen the FTSE ‘stepping down’ in 100 point increments, pausing briefly at 7600, then 7500, and most recently, the 7400 point level. This makes our calculation giving the potential of an eventual bottom at 7103 points believable.

Our alternate, less grim scenario, is certainly easier on the eye.

Above 7478 points should hopefully trigger index recovery to an initial useless 7491 points with our secondary, if bettered, working out at 7565 points. If triggered, the tightest stop loss level looks like 7410 points.

 

Have a good weekend and enjoy the Grand Prix.

#Gold #Japan_Futures  With the price of Crude oil experiencing sharp falls, it’s been puzzling watching organisations such as Bloomberg and Reuters trying to invent reasons for the sharp reversal. Reuters excelled themselves, blaming a strong dollar and profit taking, whereas Bloomberg laid the blame firmly at the feet of future interest rate increase fears. Quite why neither organisation chose to report on hard facts was a puzzle. Internationally, high prices has been causing a lack in demand with US gasoline demand reported to be at the lowest level since 2001. It’s a fairly big rule in the market place, price a product at too high a level and people stop buying it. In the USA, crude oil stock levels remain high with gasoline levels up by 6.5 million barrels over their seasonal norm.

This nonsense has a fair bit to do with Tesco who proudly announced they are cutting prices on 2,500 products by an average of 12%. Cutting to the chase, it’s safe to suggest the company have noticed changes in buying habits and now, are in a panic cycle to try and maintain sales levels. Hopefully the company also respond to changes in prices of oil with reductions in their forecourts, an area where Tesco has been notoriously greedy.

 

Tesco share price has been trapped under an obvious downtrend for quite some time and now, needs very little work to suggest some “proper” movement upwards. At present, if this Blue downtrend since 2007 is indeed valid, it appears above just 284p should promote – from a Big Picture Perspective –  the concept of share price recovery to an initial 312p with secondary, if bettered, a longer term 362p. Visually, it looks probable any future visit to 362p shall experience some price hesitation, due to the share experiencing some difficulty with this price level back in 2013. There’s always going to be a bunch of folk delighted to Bail At Break Even and reclaim their funds, doubtless forever distrusting supermarket shares.

If things intend go wrong with the share price, below 254p risks being the first indicator capable of triggering reversal to 227 with secondary, if broken, at 208p and hopefully a bounce.

 

Finally, remaining on the subject of Tesco, a recent personal calamity finally answered a question about something Americans eat, the fabled Peanut Butter and Jelly (jam) sandwich. Simply due to a complete lack of attentions, a layer of strawberry jam was spread over toast, already covered with peanut butter. How bad could it be?

From personal taste, the answer was “very bad indeed”. Not even the dog would eat it and she’s usually fanatical about all three of the contents, just not all at the same time!

#FTSE #NASDAQ  Once again, we’re doing a “readers request” report, this time on Oxford Biodynamics thanks to a bunch of folk emailing about them. Share price movements since 2017 have certainly been interesting and we were able to calculate an “Ultimate Bottom” at 9.6p, a price level where the value has lingered for the last few months.

Obviously, with this “Ultimate Bottom” calculation, there is never a certainty of a bounce. It simply represents a price level below which we cannot calculate but with Oxford Biodynamics, the share has described some truly impressive movements, due to reports of their prostate cancer analysis being approved for the US market. Given once you pass 50, the medical profession was to test annually for everything they can think of, it’s probably safe to speculate Oxford now find themselves as a supplier to a regular massive market, especially due to their claim of a 94% diagnosis success rate.

 

It’s certainly very reassuring share price movements with the company are backed by solid news. From our perspective, at first glance it looked like a share enjoying a campaign from internet chat rooms, essentially being ramped to the heavens. But with positive news flow, it’s understandable and now, we can calculate some useful potentials for the future.

The immediate scenario allows for strength bettering 51p to provoke further gains to the 66p level. Our secondary, if such a point is exceeded, works out at 92p and a price level where we’d normally anticipate some hesitation, due to historical movements displaying a fascination for the 100p level. However, in this instance, we can present a scenario where if the price actually closes a session above 92p, there’s a lot of free air between this level and a future 159p and a need for us to once again review the tea leaves.

To end with the best we can scrape up as a note of warning, the share price needs slump below 17p to introduce panic. Hopefully the company don’t have some bad news hiding away.

#Gold #Dax  We’d to smile at the cover photo of Watkin Jones website. A construction building, littered with a bunch of folk wearing white hard hats and not a single real worker in sight, the lack of yellow or blue hard hats telling an unfortunate story as to who was viewed as important in getting the photo. In a different way, a recent article from Hong Kong managed to raise eyebrows, due to some workers on mainland China testing their hard hats for impact resistance.

It transpired the yellow hard hats issued to staff could barely resist a brick dropped from 2 metres, while white and blue hard hats were brick resistant up to 20 metres and above. The tale, emanating from a less regulative working environment, doubtless has its roots in someone saving money. From a UK perspective, it would never occur different colour hats had different safety standards.

 

Describing themselves as the UK’s leading “Residential for Rent Developer and Operator”, Watkin Jones certainly boast a portfolio of impressive projects, along with a less than impressive decline in their share price in recent years. Currently trading around 36p, investors must be feeling the pain from the decline from 280p at the start of 2022. However, we think we’ve maybe got some good news to impart. Arithmetically, we often calculate something called “Ultimate Bottom”, a share price level below which we cannot calculate.

In the case of Watkin Jones, our “Ultimate Bottom” works out at 35p and the share is certainly within sniffing distance of such a target. We can work out a number below the 35p level and it’s a bit dubious, thanks to the repeated circled gap-downs experienced but in theory, if 35p breaks, 6p can be presented as a future target. But this 6p could easily be nonsense, due to the level of guesswork required, thanks to the manipulation gaps. From a Big Picture standpoint, below 35p only should supply target levels prefaced with impossible minus signs.

So there’s hope for a share price bounce anytime soon as there’s very little in the way of wiggle room for more reversals. Above 43p should prove interesting, calculating with the potential of a lift to an initial 55p with secondary, if beaten, at 65p. To be honest, we’d really hope to see the share price gapped UP soon, due to such a movement tending indicate the market acknowledges it’s overcooked the level of reversals and in such a scenario, we’d anticipate stronger price recovery. Also, in such a scenario, we shall need revisit the numbers, due to it being impossible (currently) to calculate higher than 65p.

This is obviously now in fingers crossed territory but we suspect it shall prove worth watching in the days ahead.

#Brent #SP500  The Perpetual Motion Machine, long an ambition of inventors everywhere, faces an interesting challenge from the UK’s banking sector. With very little effort, the UK appears to have invented the Perpetual Lack of Motion Machine principal, a group of shares from a sector which was once vibrant and fun, now lead the world in the stakes of “doing sod all”.

 

Perhaps a little frustration is evident here, especially as we chose to zoom out for this report and take a Big Picture stance. This is where the sad reality of Lloyds hit home. We can present arguments which lead to an eventual 223p sometime in the future but, to be honest, we utterly lack any confidence in the sector. There’s an immediate scenario we can suggest, one where above 47p should next lead to 52p with secondary, if exceeded, working out at a longer term 59p. This secondary, from a Big Picture viewpoint, is theoretically interesting, taking the share price above a downtrend (Blue) which dates back to 2009.

Visually, there’s a chance of hope with such a motion. With any other share, we’d certainly be raising eyebrows as the price would be exceeding a very obvious long term downtrend. What bothers us, quite a lot, has been the effort employed over the last 14 years to ensure Lloyds shareholders remain suffering, their funds on a long term holiday with little hope of solution. It often feels like it’s going to be the case, where sometime in the future, exploring an attic, people will discover a box full of ornate share certificates from Lloyds. The level of excitement at such a discovery will doubtless be high, right up until the point when the date is checked, along with an immediate realisation the fancy looking certificates are worth nothing, other than as a curiosity. Personally, making a similar discovery amongst grand-parents possessions allowed for a dream of unequalled wealth, when a cache of Pacific & Orient (P&O) shares were unearthed. The harsh reality was, the only person who got rich from these fancy looking share certificates was the printing company who produced them.

About the nicest thing we dare say for Lloyds is closure above 59p may provide the foundation for long term price recovery but we’re not holding our breath. But on the bright side, there’s now an excuse for a headline, “Will Lloyds Hit A Miracle 223p?”

More probably, below 40p looks dangerous, calculating with the potential of weakness to an initial 35p next. Should such a level break, our secondary works out at an unlikely feeling 23p.

FTSE for Friday (FTSE:UKX)  Once again, something quite curious happened with the FTSE, this time providing what we think it a “teachable moment” with the index value. We very rarely decorate our articles with minute-by-minute charts, not because we don’t use them but because we do! And it’s usually impossible to highlight whatever we’re moaning about.

Thursday did something different and for a change, we can explain it in English.

When the FTSE dived below 7584 just before 9am, it created a set of circumstances where we expected the index to bounce around 7550 points. By 9.30am, it was clear the 7550 level wasn’t going to hold, creating a scenario where an overall retreat toward the 7400 level became possible. After all, the market had broken the easily defined uptrend since August 21st and worse, had exceeded our initial drop target. All things considered, it looked like the UK index faced a pretty vile reversal cycle. Making matters worse, once the index broke our 7550 target, it recovered, precisely banged against this target level and said “nope”, dropping further next time, reaching a low of 7524 points.

We started to suspect a dreadful afternoon was ahead, once the USA decided to inflict whatever set of dire figures they had tucked away.

But by 11am, the market recovered, once again above the 7550 level and this time looking keen to make its own way in the world, regardless of how many of our boxes it ticked. And just after 3pm, the FTSE exceeded the level of previous trend break at 7584, ticking yet another box, one which claims all previous drop characteristics were fakes. This is usually a fairly reliable signal and when, at 4pm, the market clawed its way once again above the Red uptrend on the chart, we were left with little choice but to anticipate further recovery for the market.

It was, from our perspective, all a little strange and reminding of a deliberate curved ball to fool everyone. We’re inclined to suspect Friday shall provide “surprise” recovery for London.

 

Now, we can review the Blue downtrend on the chart, one which dates back to February of this year and a chalk mark the index seems to be paying attention to. At time of writing, to exceed Blue, the index needs exceed around 7676.122 points. Near term, above 7606 points calculates with the potential of a lift to 7652 points. If exceeded, our secondary works out at 7681 points. The brightest thing about this scenario is the availability of a reasonably tight stop loss at 7584 points, the level of yesterdays trend break.

We’re aware this secondary target level implies the potential for the index to rejoin the sunny side of life above Blue on the chart, working out with a reasonable longer term chance at 7750 points and perhaps beyond.

 

Our alternate scenario has the pleasure of standing on a bit of Lego with bare feet. Below 7524 should be dangerous, now allowing for weakness to an initial 7480 points with secondary, if broken, at an eventual 7392 points and hopefully a trampoline level.

Have a good weekend. Has anyone noticed the Met Office appear to be starting this winter with “Clickbait” headlines? We expected 60mph winds last night and should have guessed the contrary would be true, due to not a single boat owner moving their craft to safe haven across at the local marina.

#Stoxx50 #DAX There are times when it can pay dividends to take a really big picture view of something. Back in January, we reviewed Sterling vs US Dollar with a calculation which suggested the price risked challenging the Blue downtrend. As the months rolled beneath us, the pairing eventually issued such a challenge, topping out at 1.315 in July before retreating in confusion. What interested us about this was our calculation, back in January, gave 1.333 as a viable ambition, this number obviously declining every month. When the relationship hit 1.315, we’d no calculations giving such an ambition and the only thing capable of provoking reversal was the Blue downtrend.

Sometimes, trend lines can be important, especially as our raison d’être is to monitor how prices are reacting to trend lines. Sometimes, after all, they can just be meaningless crayon lines but in this instance, it seems clear the markets are regarding Blue as important. Should this be the case, Blue currently represents a level of 1.3039.229 (roughly) and above such, it seems a Long position should reward anyone speculating.

After all, it’s not often we are presented with tangible proof the market views a particular trend line as important.

 

Alas, since the relationship attempted a challenge of Blue, things appear be going horribly wrong for Sterling as its retreat against the US Dollar has proven quite merciless. Currently, it’s the case where below 1.2110 presents the potential of relaxation to an initial 1.2081. While this isn’t a massive drop in the grand scheme of things, a visit to 1.2081 will represent a price level around which we’d conventionally hope for a solid bounce. The implication, should 1.2081 break, allows our calculation giving 1.1710 as viable. And should this level be trashed, we can even supply a third drop target at 1.1512 as a point by which the pairing really must rebound. Unfortunately, if daring to ride this dodgy gravy train to the bottom, it appears the tightest stop loss level shall require to be quite wide at 1.2880 though there’s a vague chance 1.2556 shall suffice for a bunch of complex reasons.

Our reading of the recovery prospects is muddied by a demand to take a time element into consideration. Above 1.2556 calculates with the potential of a lift to 1.2976, potentially with the chance of breaking above Blue on the chart and triggering some proper recovery for Sterling. Such a scenario currently allows for recovery to 1.3393 with secondary, a longer term 1.4513. This sort of thing is liable to become game changing for the future, taking Sterling into unfamiliar territory where a future surge to 1.71 becomes possible.

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.
