i3 Energy Plc (LSE:i3E), no warning signs.

#FTSE #SP500

A warning light today on the car dashboard, consisting of a big orange spanner, caused immediate panic. It justified coming off the motorway in a panic as “a spanner” looked quite troubling. Parking safely, the manual was quickly searched, only to discover the car was telling me it was time for an oil change. Surely, in this day and age, Toyota could simply have the words “Oil Change Due” broadcast onto the LCD screen.

Now relaxing and looking for the on-ramp to rejoin the motorway, it transpires there wasn’t one. We needed now waste time, driving country roads, until eventually discovering a method of rejoining the motorway. Meanwhile, a bit of black tape now handily conceals the nagging spanner, the car was already booked in for a winter service next month.

 

Sometimes, we think share prices come pre-equipped with irritating warning lights. i3 Energy (we’re being careful to use lower case ‘i’, lest it look like number 13), listed on the UK AIM and also the Toronto exchange, has assets in the North Sea, along with further assets in Canada. Their website claims to commit to returning value to shareholders, an ambition which the decline from 120p to the current 22p appears to be failing. But on the bright side, they do pay a dividend, the value of which certainly provokes lively conversation in internet chatrooms…

Currently, their share price is visually alarming, price movements since July casting their version of a spanner at the 22.2p level, trying to convince the market of movement below such a point risking disaster. We’re not entirely sold on the concept, calculating weakness below 22.2 risks reversal to an initial 20.7 with secondary, if broken, at 18.7p and hopefully a bounce. A glance at the chart below suggests, in the grand scheme of things, this sort of movement isn’t particularly dangerous. For real panic to make itself known, the price currently needs settle below 14.7p.

There’s a converse scenario, one which doesn’t require a great deal of work for the share price to become quite interesting.

Above 29p presents the possibility of gains to an initial 38p with secondary, if bettered, at 42p.

Hopefully this shall prove worth keeping an eye on in the weeks ahead.

Quadrise Fuels International Plc looks positive

#Gold #Dow

Visiting Quadrise’s website managed to prove quite informative, going some way to explaining why diesel is so heavily priced in comparison to petrol. Being unaware diesel production creates heavy residual oils, stuff needing treatment before it can be sold (at a discount) as Heavy Fuel Oil. Oil refineries prefer not to sell anything at a discount…

Quadrise (QFI) bring a method which changes how Heavy Fuel Oil is produced, allowing the end product to be sold at a premium as it produces substantially lower CO2 emissions. QFI are delighted to explain – at length – what their company is about via their web presence and to be fair, some of the information is quite fascinating. None of this explains their share price as it has been pretty foul for quite a few years.

 

Currently. it appears QFI enjoy a share price which is attempting to do something positive with itself, breaking though a downtrend which appears to have been influencing the share price since 2015. Perhaps some hope is possible in the near term, maybe even the longer term. The immediate situation looks to be quite straightforward, movement above 2.35p calculating with the potential of a lift to an initial 2.65 with secondary, if bettered, a more useful 3.6p.

At the 3.6p level, things become a little vague as the share really needs to close above 3.6p to suggest Big Picture influences are coming into play. Currently, the implication of closure above 3.6p allegedly permits the share price to more than double to 7.8p, a game changing price level which visually hints of the presence of a future glass ceiling.

 

If everything intends go horribly wrong for QFI, their share price needs drip below 1.1p as we cannot calculate a bottom. For now, we suspect this shall prove very worthy of keeping an eye on.

Barclays Plc, infested by Dementors?

#Brent #Dax

It’s funny how the Liz Truss UK Government has moved into familiar territory, the closing days of an administration, after just a few weeks. Perhaps it’s because, thanks to Boris Johnston, the media are now experienced in recognising terminal decay. Importantly though, we suspect there’s a chance, despite Prime Minister Truss oozing “charisma”, the media may be wrong.

What’s happening in the UK appears to be happening everywhere, chaotic governance, a backdrop of supply chain issues, inflation, interest rates, public unrest and dissatisfaction, energy issues, and winter sneaking in. When we glance at share prices in the northern hemisphere, it’s increasingly rare to discover any which suggest optimism, most tending to echo the prevailing sentiments not only in the wider market but, gloom extending across normal day to day life. It’s almost as if we’re living though a J K Rowling Harry Potter book, the one where “The Dementors” got loose, provoking serious alarm in Downing St, and the dodgiest special effect used in any of the films, when the wizards flew their broomsticks above the Thames into London.

 

Virtually every stock market north of the equator has now broken its personal uptrend, since the pandemic lows of 2020 and visually, there’s very little to be optimistic about. Curiously though, south of the equator, the picture is less gloomy, Brazil looking surprisingly confident and even Australia failing to embrace the misery fully. Perhaps it’s indeed season related as, further north, Japan is sitting on the fence and fails to give a clue as to possible market direction. For Europe and North America, we lack confidence. Except perhaps for Bitcoin, now showing signs of deserving a Big Picture update as the potential of a drop to $12k is receding!

 

Barclays share price shares the wider market outlook. Presently trading around 142p, the share price needs CLOSE a session above 151p to negate our dire outlook. Even if the share traded above 151p, we’d start to lose confidence in our foul projections.

Now below 140p threatens ongoing reversal to an initial 128p with secondary, if broken, an eventual (hopeful) bottom of 98p.

Our converse scenario has produced a strange series of numbers involving a game with just 10p. Above 151p should now apparently trigger recovery to an initial 161p. Our ‘longer term’ secondary works out at 171p, allegedly as part of a path which eventually calculates with 201p. Quite why everything works out in 10p increments utterly defeats us but in this instance, we’re more than a little sceptical about 201p making an appearance without the benefit of game changing news. Maybe if the UK discovered a Prime Minister capable of making a decision and sticking to it!

Our FTSE for Friday. Charts finally included!

FTSE for FRIDAY (FTSE:UKX)  When I look to my right, on the bookshelf there’s a series of titles called “How S**t Works”, bought from a charity shop for a fiver. Alas, nowhere in the books is there a section on the UK FTSE which is a pity, because it urgently needs a repairman to visit! Thursday proved a strange day, worldwide, but of all the markets we cover, only the FTSE made our jaw drop.
By any standards, Thursday was weird with 5 of the 6 index we cover for clients hitting targets, all targets. Firstly, they started the day by successfully hitting all our Short position targets, then bounced and triggered movements to our Long position targets. Once again, all targets were successfully achieved. Except for the UK index which pouted, refusing the play the game. In fairness, this sort of thing in quite rare with individual index’ but when it occured with virtually all markets, we didn’t know what to make of things. Perhaps it shall be the case the FTSE was just “slow” and maybe Friday shall surprise everyone…
There’s very little positive to be said about the UK index and currently, we must conclude the FTSE is heading down to around 6450. But it may be about 6350 points or even 6240 points. The absurd thing, when we collate this series of numbers, we could even believe the UK index really intends an a visit to around 5200 points eventually, ‘cos it makes sense numerically. From a Big Picture perspective, the UK index needs above 7200 points to give an indication it’s climbing out of the gutter. The index is running low on nails to hammer into its coffin, closing Wednesday this week at a new “lower low”, achieving a price level not witnessed since April last year.

From a near term perspective, if the FTSE intends follow the rest of the world in making an upward lunge, above just 6902 points (it closed Thursday at 6852) should prove capable of triggering party time as a movement to 6995 calculates as possible. If exceeded, our secondary works out at an improbable looking 7035 points. If triggered, the tightest stop loss level looks like 6826 points.
Our alternate scenario looks harder to trigger, requiring the index below 6770 points to push the potential of a drop to 6721 points. If broken, our secondary calculates down at 6591 points.
A glance at the chart below reveals sometime important. Despite our positive scenario above giving a suggestion of an impressive 130 point gain, there’s very little about the visual picture which inspires confidence. Instead, the words “shuffling deckchairs on the Titanic” spring to mind as the FTSE must exceed 7100 points to give the very first indication some recovery of strength is possible. Even in Friday proves to be a happy day for the FTSE, the index needs recover quite firmly to remove the odor of dead cats around an immediate bounce.

Pendragon Plc LSE:PDG, taking flight?

#Gold #Nasdaq

Finally getting around to searching for the origins of the word “Pendragon”, we were amused to discover it’s Welsh roots, meaning “Head Dragon”. Without a doubt, this particular dragon has been biting shareholders on the posterior since 2016 but now, it finally looks like the stock market may be applying a healing salve.

Perhaps this potential for recovery is at a terrible time, given the underlying feel of the markets and, in addition, the car market must surely suffer from increased interest rates, along with increased energy prices. It’s certainly easy to suspect the impetus toward Electric Vehicles shall falter, given What Car magazine’s recent real world tests which revealed it now costs more to charge batteries than to top up with petrol. A family member recently moaned about this, her irritation growing as falling temperatures here in Scotland are seeing her battery range drop from 240 miles to around 150 miles in her Renault Zoe. This sort of thing must surely effect the car buying market as folk tend lose interest in going Green, when their credit card statement is getting a hammering.

 

However, for now, Pendragon look capable of taking wing and heading upward as recent share price movements are proving completely at odds with the majority of shares in the UK stock markets. The share price was recently manipulated upward, thanks to an unsolicited offer for takeover of the entire company. As a result of this approach, a little war of words appears to be taking place between Hedin Mobility and Pendragon and a glance through the appropriate RNS’s failed to provide any great clarity as to what is actually happening. But then again, no-one plays poker with all their cards face up as it defeats the purpose!

The immediate situation looks pretty straightforward as strength above 28p looks capable of movement to an initial 29.7p. If bettered, our secondary works out at 33p, an interesting prospect, as this dumps the share price in a zone where a longer term 43p calculates as possible. Who knows, perhaps a bidding war is expected for the motor trade giant?

 

To cause panic, their share price needs drop below Red (18p), working out with the potential of reversal to 11p initially. Should such a level break, our secondary and “ultimate bottom” comes along at 8p.

TUI Ag (LSE:TUI) and the lead balloon effect.

#FTSE #STOX Perhaps, with this little “lesson” on charts, we shall be preaching to the choir with TUI but there’s a signal which tends be invaluable. It’s when a price achieves a degree of stability, especially in a downward cycle, this stability often ending with a “Gotcha suckers” leap off a cliff. With TUI, the leaps are proving to be careful steps down, movement from the 400p lever leading down to 300p.

Then, after a reasonable period of mourning at discovering this low, probably convincing many investors 300p was “bottom”, it again stepped down to 250p. Once sufficient numbers convinced themselves this was obviously a solid bottom, the price remorselessly stepped down to 150p. And now, it almost feels like the current price level is being “sold” to the market as a probable bottom. Obviously, as utter cynics, we’re not entirely convinced, due to the presence of a Big Picture bottoming potential now calculating at an eventual 56p.This is a price level we cannot calculate below.

 

We’re a little surprised at the lack of vibrant atmosphere around TUI. Firstly, there’s the bloke next door! As our dogs are best friends, he habitually dumps his mutt with us when he flies abroad for a quick holiday. This year, he’s managed to vanish for 6 weeks (so far), describing visits to destinations as like stepping back 30 years, without the usual tourist mobs. However, returning today from the far east, he noticed (quite miserably) passenger numbers are increasing. We noticed, (hopefully) TUI recently reported their winter bookings at 78% of pre-Covid levels. Yet their share price languishes at 12% of pre-pandemic levels!

The current picture remains dubious, movement below 100p working out with the potential of reversal to 88p next. We would hope for a bounce at such a level, especially as it looks like the last port of call before our ultimate bottom of 56p. If there’s any residual strength, 88p should be “it”, in plain English, anytime now for a bounce.

 

Our inclination is to allocate 120p as a viable trigger level, due to movement above such a point calculating with the chances of a visit to 132p next. If bettered, our secondary comes along at a potentially game changing 158 – game changing because such a travel ambition takes the price above the ruling downtrend, into a region where a 3rd level target of 184 should be viable. However, our (usual) demand remains valid, we need see the share price actually close above the Blue downtrend.

 

In summary, we suspect TUI are close to bottoming, perhaps needing fingers crossed before daring to become involved.

International Consolidated Airlines Group S.a, reaching for the pies

#Gold #SP500

It’s easy to imagine IAG.L (Previously British Airways) proves unpopular, due to their enormous name which is thankfully used for corporate ego and little else. Perhaps this is the reason their airlines retain the original branding, few aircraft being of sufficient length to paint the full company name!

IAG share price has experienced a pretty tough time during the last few years, even managing to match the pandemic lows of 2020 with their recent trip down to 93p. When we review things from a Big Picture perspective, there is a reasonable chance this share price should actually bounce from the 93p as the potential consequences of a fall below such a price are more dangerous than a speech by Truss, the UK PM. Already, it appears the recent visit to 93p was inspired by actions of the current UK government.

To deal with the bad scenario first, our calculations now show weakness below 93p as capable of triggering reversal to 81p and hopefully a proper bounce. We can calculate a secondary, should 79p break, and it’s an eventual bottom at a silly looking 51p, a price level rarer than a smile from British Airways cabin crew on a long haul flight.

 

However, price movements since the visit to 93p offer faint encouragement, thanks to some half hearted attempts to break the Blue downtrend which dates back to a few weeks before the pandemic hit the fan in 2020. The immediate situation suggests “strength” above 103p (currently trading around 101p) should make an attempt at an initial 113p next. If bettered, our secondary calculates at 126p, this representing a fascinating price level for the longer term.

In the longer term, closure above 126p apparently should prove significant, taking the share to a flight level where ongoing rises suggest a future 156p is possible with secondary, if bettered, at 208p. Usually we eschew such Big Picture thoughts but in this instance, the visuals against each target make a lot of sense, each ambition effectively challenging historical “glass ceiling” levels on the chart. It’s easy to already imagine a future 208p shall become crucial, giving the share an opportunity to make a game changing movement and lose its current “budget share price airline” status.
