FTSE for FRIDAY (FTSE:UKX) looking good?

#FTSE #GOLD   It’s funny how a week ago, we were prepped for a bit of wind and unusually for the weather services, the climate actually lived up to their expectations. Winds over 100mph did indeed bring disaster, part of the fence around the heating oil tank was loosened. Of course, we enjoyed an inevitable power cut and literally hundred of trees were blown down in our usual dog walking forest. They were all pine trees, many still hanging threateningly at a 45 degree angle but upon checking out our forest on the plateau above the garden cliff, everything is standing. But of course, these trees are all deciduous trees, solidly built, and even a dead oak tree remained untouched by the weather.

All things considered, the hurricane proved pretty unimpressive, not comparing with the one 12 months ago which launched one of our garden sheds into the trees. But the events last week were expected to effect more than Argyll, so the panic unfolded in a media desperate to generate “clicks”. Now, a week later, the memory of the wind has virtually gone, the only evidence being the number of fir trees blown down.

 

Oddly, this simile returns us to the FTSE, a market which is being slow to grow but once up, should hopefully present a stronger resistance to any coming storms! While we’re often frustrated by the often useless UK market place, recent events perhaps indicate the pace of movement may actually become useful.

For instance, last Friday we laid out criteria for the UK market to experience some gains, writing; “above 8585 points risks triggering further recovery to an initial 8643”. With the FTSE closing Thursday at 8646 points, almost exactly at our target level, the 58 point gain which took 5 sessions to achieve was both impressive and extremely annoying. It used to be the case where a movement such as this would occur generally within a single session, it comes after a week where the UK market (Open to Close Values) experienced 1 point, 30 points, 24 points, and finally 89 points on Thursday. No matter which way we look at the painful trudge to our target level, waiting for 5 sessions to pick up 58 points to our initial target level was a pretty foul scenario for traders. While the concept of timeframes remains something quite beyond us, it is also a reminder to “get a feel” of the market as you’ll usually fulfil your worst fears…

Currently, should the FTSE manage to exceed just 8664 points, we calculate the index should next enter a cycle to an initial 8717 points with our secondary, if bettered, working out at 8775 points. Neither target level is visually improbable and overall, we shall have no option but to assume an eventual visit to 8825 points can be anticipated. If exhibiting blind faith in this picture, the tightest stop loss looks like 8600 points.

Our converse scenario expects index movement below 8600 to trigger reversals to an initial 8560 points with our secondary, if broken, presenting itself as a bottom of 8480 points, along with a very possible bounce.

 

Have a good weekend. With the next Grand Prix scheduled for 16 March, the only interesting thing we have to look forward to is a forecast of snow, not entirely unexpected for winter in Argyll.

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.

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

Serica Energy Plc (LSE:SQZ), currently around 20.74p

#FTSE #Nasdaq It cannot be easy, trying to trade successfully while based (and your share price traded) in a country where the Government actively works against your industry, all in the name of a political narrative which has now been abandoned by the USA and an ideal which other oil producing nations ridicule and ignore. But in the UK, not only has Scotlands ONLY oil refinery been allowed to close but the government opted to assist the company in relocating to Europe, ensuring some sort of box is ticked in the NetZero checklist!

It was certainly a shock to discover the level of C02 in the worlds atmosphere is around 0.04%, the level regularly boosted by volcanic events rather than this writer starting the engine of his little old tractor to cut the grass or lighting the wood burning stove. It’s a bit like finding out the UK Government has decided to wage a battle against the moon and its effect on the tide, a ridiculous concept…

 

With all this negativity, it may be a surprise to hear we’re slightly optimistic about SQZ’s future, thanks to a movement down at 112p in September of 2024. This death lunge was interesting, insofar as it almost exactly hit a bottom target we’d calculated, a point where our in-house rules dictate a rise should be expected. Aside from the salient detail the share price really has not recovered with any enthusiasm as, while the 20% rise since is useful, we would have hoped for more. A bit like expecting your child’s exam results to be just a little bit better but instead, you are left with a slightly empty feeling and suspecting she’d spent all her time chatting on Facebook, rather than actually studying! This familiar scenario will doubtless become more familiar in the years ahead as while our own daughter had a computer far in advance of anything in her school, she’s about to have a hard time with her own daughters, both of whom have smartphones and aside from proper coding, are capable of knocking our daughters original PC into the gutter.

 

Currently, the share price needs exceed just 151p to suggest it’s moving into a new reality, giving an initial target of price recovery to an initial 186p with our secondary, if beaten, at a visually pleasing and probable 207p. Our software happily tosses out a third level ambition at 267p, one which also makes an awful lot of sense as historically this represents a price area where the market found things quite interesting.

This one is difficult as it appears dependent on UK government competence, something which is notably lacking while we’re governed by folk who’ve declared war on the strongest industry in the UK, a sacrifice at the alter of a fiction folk no longer believe. Any U-turn by the government is liable to provoke a sharp change in the fortunes of mid-level energy companies such as Serica.

 

Our alternate scenario requires the share price to drip below 126p to spell trouble, allowing for reversal to 112p again and hopefully a bounce. Should such a level break, we can currently calculate a longer term secondary at 95p and a hope for a solid bounce. At this point in time, we have some difficulty in calculating any target levels below 95p.

This is perhaps worth watching, a real company doing real production rather than being based on rumours and unfounded hope.

Tullow Oil Plc (LSE:TLW), currently around 20.74p and rising???

#FTSE #DOWJONES  

The shambles which is Tullow Oil share price almost defies belief. It leads to an inevitable suspicion the market “knows” something deep and brutal about the company which isn’t available to investors as the cliche “the market always knows” is often painfully true, usually after private investors are moving like they’ve spent an entire day in a saddle, walking funny. We’ve been trying to figure out where the real influences on this share price may be coming from.

Should we opt to anchor the share price at the point of the completely artificial market reversal to celebrate the birth of Covid-19 in 2020, Tullow share price arguably followed the price of crude oil until Russia decided to remind the West of its dislike to threats of its sovereignty. Movements in Tullow Oil in early 2022 failed to echo what was happening with the price of crude, instead exhibiting some half-hearted spikes but with nothing like the exuberance of Crude. Instead, Tullow belched a little bit, then chose to follow the rate of oil price decline with their collapsing share price, moving from 60p down to 20p in just 18 months, the share declining by 2/3rd in the period when Crude declined by 1/2.

If there was a working relationship between Tullow and Crude, Tullow should have bottomed out at a pitiful 30p. However, visually there remains some sort of relationship between Crude and Tullow but currently, it feels like Tullow are about to experience a bit of a whacking again. If the price of Brent intends to be an indicator, the next “bottom” for Tullow should occur when Brent Crude hits $66, not a completely improbable scenario given recent price movements. Unfortunately for Tullow, this now suggests the next “bottom” should be just above 16p ideally. If such a level breaks, we can produce a future 13p as an ultimate bottom, a point below which we cannot comfortably present any targets. We’ve quite a strong suspicion just above the 16p level should present a solid “bottom”, meaning a rebound can be hoped, essentially anytime now.

If our thoughts are correct, Tullow needs exceed 25p to potentially trigger a proper bounce, giving an initial target at a hopeful 33p with our longer term secondary, if beaten, a less confident sounding 48p.

We’re simply not sure about Tullow Oil Plc as their share price has been abused, perhaps by a market viewing investors as money making fodder. While Brent Crude doesn’t exhibit potentials for any really dramatic drops currently, Tullow does and we suspect/hope the market shall inflict a panic positive correction of Tullow.

Time will tell and unfortunately, the clock is ticking!

SUCCESS above means both FAST & SLOW targets were met. ‘CESS means just the FAST target met and probably the next time it is exceeded, movement to the SLOW target shall commence.

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.

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.

If you want to ask a question about something Market Related intraday, don’t hesitate to email private.client@trendsandtargets.com. If something has gone volatile and a quick answer is needed, we’ve probably already run the numbers on it. As you’ll appreciate, we try and avoid spamming people needlessly.

Risk Warning & Notice to Investors

Buying, selling and investing in shares is not without risk. Market and company movement will affect your performance and you may get back less than you invest. Trends and Targets will NOT be responsible for any losses that may be incurred as a result of following a trading idea.

Just Group Plc (LSE:JUST) looks positive.

#Gold #SP500  Our wedding anniversary, traditionally spent surrounded by snow covered mountains to echo our marriage in Vail, Colorado, didn’t let us down on Monday evening. Following Fridays storm, our Argyll  mountains are white and temperatures have dipped. But the strange thing, the quiet little restaurant we’d chosen was mobbed, literally Saturday night busy but on a Monday! It transpires electrical  power still has not been restored to a few areas locally, thanks to pylons being destroyed in the storm. The eatery chose to offer a special deal to the folk affected and the place was reaping the benefits of increased trade and spectacular, understandable, alcohol consumption.

 

Rather hilariously, last time we reviewed Just Group Plc, we managed to confuse ourselves we were actually looking at Just East Takeaway Plc and made the decision to leave the humiliating article in place. Just because we detest the delivery services “hip” advertising, the article wrote itself but alas, the wrong company. Thankfully such confusion is now impossible, Just Eat Takeaway exiting London to concentrate on their European listing. But we shall never forgive Just Retirement for renaming themselves Just Group as it allowed us to look like morons… (okay, we should have checked and thus, deserved an ‘Idiot’ Award!)

Unfortunately, the company still manages to sow a degree of confusion as there’s another Just Group in existence, an Australian retail company…

 

We’re inclined toward optimism regarding Just Group Plc share price. On Wikipedia, the company is listed as providing annuities to retirees with serious health conditions such as heart disease or heavy smokers. Their products apparently pay out higher income than the usual products offered in the market.

Currently, above 165p should prove useful, capable of provoking share price movement to an initial 173p. If beaten, our longer term secondary works out at 190p and visually, some hesitation. But overall, with closure above 173p, we shall regard the share as being influenced by a distant looking 254p.

It is interesting to note the share price recently enacted a classic Gap Down / Gap Up movement and to apply our usual criteria, this should mean the share price is indeed heading to an encouraging 190p. It will be interesting to see what happens as this is one of the rare occasions where we’re showing the share price dance steps publicly in advance.

Should things intend go horribly wrong, share price closure below 144p shall ring alarm bells, taking the share into a zone where reversal to an initial 103 with secondary, if broken, at 90p.

 

But according to a big in-house rule, this is going to 190p. Allegedly!

Barclays Plc (LSE:BARC), a happy share?

#Brent #DAX  Three weeks ago, when we discussed Barclays, we were moaning about the weather here in Argyll. Now, having survived the January breeze, we shall do so again.  The only thing scary about the hurricane was it happened during daytime. Usually, these things go unreported as they happen during the night in our part of Scotland. For instance, in January last year, our heavy steel upper garden shed found itself decorating the trees with its contents of Xmas decorations until it finally slept forever amongst a 12 foot hedge. This year, its replacement didn’t even shrug when the winds battered it, even our wheelie bins also remaining in place as each held a concrete paving slab.

As storms go, it wasn’t that exciting but inevitably, the power went off at noon, justifying lighting the wood burner and prepping candles before darkness invaded at 4.30pm. An hour later, the ferry company decided the winds had abated to sufficiently retrieve their three vessels parked outside and by 7pm, my wife and I were getting fed up with the forced concept of talking to each other. Thankfully, the power clunked on and though satellite telly was unavailable, the internet still existed, our evening regaining a twist of normality. The animals also ventured out to the garden, no longer cross eyed, as neither particularly liked strong wind and rain and spent the day asking to go out, then refusing to stay out.

Saturday brought some reality, a few roads blocked by fallen trees and locals competing with each other to start their chainsaws. To be honest, I’d prepped and sharpened my own 32 inch machine just in case it was needed but was able to drive to my favourite forest walk without interruption. Finally, at this point, the impact of the hurricane was evident, a massive number of trees broken off around 20 feet from ground level, along with a similar number blown down to a 45 degree angle as their tops tangled in other trees, inhibiting any impressive fall. Overall, this was an indication the pine tree forest had been allowed to grow higher than was safe to cope with a breeze in Argyll. But most importantly, our little red tractor remained dry and secure under its tarpaulin, covering a machine caught outdoors mid-service with the big rear wheels off.

It is reported we survived wind speeds of up to 105mph completely unscathed, around 10mph higher than last years January storm!

But broadly speaking, here in Argyll, it was just another windy day, despite the media making a really big thing out of it. We suspect many folk like us, caught out a year ago, had prepped for this year and in our case, only regretted not having a standby generator. But missing an evening of Coronation St or East Enders was more of a blessing, rather than an issue. Unfortunately, nothing brought the satellite signal back for Saturday, meaning we missed the usually excellent Lee Mack and his “1% Club” on telly.

 

Suddenly, it was Sunday evening and we’d to look at Barclays, dreading the share price had enacted nothing since out previous analysis. Thankfully, the share had enacted a surge upward to our initial 289p level and seems to be messing around, visually proving our target level was viable. Our demand for this sort of thing is for a price to exceed our initial (289) target, move a bit higher, then twist backward as if it were returning under the slimy stone it had been hiding. In the case of Barclays, it needs below 285p to justify any slight concern as this risks triggering reversals to an initial 274p with our secondary, when (if) broken as a bottom of 263p and hopefully a solid rebound.

Should Barclays emanate some hope, above 300p now calculates as capable of a visit to 318 with our longer term secondary, if bettered at an eventual 361p.

Here’s hoping!

FTSE for FRIDAY (FTSE:UKX) looking good and windy…

#FTSE #GOLD Friday looks “interesting” in all the wrong ways. An inkling came from the Scottish Government and an Emergency Alert Text warning; we should expect a bit of a breeze on Friday from 10am through to 5pm and to be careful if wearing a kilt in public! In fact, the Met Office helpfully chimed in, pointing out we’re in a Red Zone and should anticipate winds of 90mph or higher. The clue to take things seriously came from a local weather forecast guy, a bloke with a legendary reputation for being right, usually converse to anything the Met Office says. Our local weather hero suggested, quite strongly, we should batten down the hatches in our bit of Argyll and tie cows to the nearest tree.

To be fair, both wheelie bins were deliberately kept empty since collection on Tuesday and for this storm, we’d a cunning plan which involved dumping a paving slab in each bin, after laying it flat on the ground. After doing so, it’s questionable whether we shall be able to get them upright ever again. And with a degree of the inevitable, our little tractor is also outside its shed currently, being serviced, both rear wheels removed while awaiting some parts. The tarpaulin over it was clearly going to vanish in any storm, so it was time to secure the covering with ropes. How successful this works out we shall know soon. One of our garden sheds disappearing into the trees in a storm last January, so we decided its replacement was going to stay put, moving 7 heavy concrete paving slabs inside to ensure it’s got a load of weight. The only remaining question is whether to let the cat out, then lock the cat flap in the hope it doesn’t come back!

Kidding aside, while we’re used to strong winds in Argyll, the level of panic from the grown ups is quite a concern. This evening, there has been a “drone” from distant massive diesel engines as a few boats take shelter on the loch outside, sea conditions in the Firth of Clyde often being quite notorious during storms. Hopefully we survive the weekend without needing swimming or flying lessons…

 

As for the FTSE, it also exhibits the potential for a massive surprise. We spent a few years moaning about the FTSE’s inability to break above the market level, pre-Pandemic. The rest of the world headed north while the UK markets continued to snuffle in a gutter, failing to glance upward. Eventually in April 2024, the index twitched quite firmly above Pre-Covid levels, enthusiastically leaping upward by a relatively small amount but now appears on the edge of making some proper movements.

From a near(ish) term perspective, above 8585 points risks triggering further recovery to an initial 8643 points with our secondary, if beaten, at an amazing 8759 points. If triggered, the tightest stop loss level looks like 8510 points which, while attractive, almost derails our mention of something truly important.

In this scenario, we can risk presenting a third level target which is difficult to ignore.

Should 8759 points be exceeded, the UK index enters a zone where it apparently has the ability to play catch-up with the likes of the Dax, Wall St, the S&P, gaining by a quite illogical amount. Our third level ambition above 8759 calculates at an amazing 10,020 points. Alas, we also suspect the UK shall require a political shake up of American proportions to introduce true confidence in business to a society which often feels its own government is at war with it.

Our inevitable converse scenario kicks in, should the index stumble below our stop loss level of 8510 points as this has to the potential to trigger reversals to an initial 8467 points with our secondary, if broken, at an eventual bottom of 8410 points along with a hopeful bounce.

Taylor Wimpey Plc (LSE:TW.) and a spring growth?

#Gold #Nasdaq  Every now and then, a share price does something stupid which bodes well for the future! While this entire statement in quite contradictory, we’ve often seen this type of share price dance which can present a pretty solid hope for the future. Our silly sounding argument relates to the Blue downtrend since 2007 and how the share has behaved in relation, almost as if the downtrend actually matters? Obviously, if we paint a downtrend and pay attention to price movements, by January 2nd this year the market confirmed this 18 year old line is actually important – to the market.

From our perspective this is quite a good thing. While the share price bettered the trend in 2024, even achieving a high of 169p, the market has opted to force the share price below Blue in quite an orderly manner, which shall presumably panic private investors. From a near term perspective, they are correct but by confirming our roughly painted Blue line is important, the market has created a drop dead obvious opportunity for the future. Our fuss about this argument comes from what invariably happens, when a share price regains such a historic trend? Often, the share price shall go up, quite spectacularly, and for this reason we propose keeping an eye on Taylor Wimpey in the months ahead.

 

The immediate problem comes from the depth of reversals. Currently below 106p calculates with the potential of reversals to an initial 90p with our secondary, if broken, at a bottom of 83p. The problem comes, if such a scenario unfolds, is it makes our “surprise” gain scenario becomes arithmetically impossible. For now, we think LSE:TW. will prove worth keeping an eye on.

Currently, share price movement above roughly 121.519 calculates as taking the share above Blue again, ideally triggering our recovery scenario with the potential of recovery to an initial 151p with our secondary, if bettered, at a game changing 175p and considerable hope for the future.

Taylor Wimpey, currently around 114o ,  hopefully roars this dream with such a reality bomb, working out with the potential of ongoing gains toward a 151p with our secondary, if bettered, at 376p and the need for a entire conversation. ;about some reasonable near term potentials.  .

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.
