Our famous FTSE for Friday FTSE:UKX

#FTSE #Gold

This week has been utterly banana’s across the markets, not just the FTSE, lots of rises which proved fake and short lived, some falls which appear uncertain and again, short lived. In an effort to throw some light on potential market directions, we took a look at Thursdays closing prices across a range of index’. The results proved as illuminating as a worn out toothbrush.

 

Index Thursday Close Thursday Low Previous Low Conclusion Change %
S&P 500 3645 3610 3623 Lower Low -0.36
Stoxx 50 3273 3249 3260 Lower Low -0.34
UK AIM 798 798 799 Lower Low -0.13
France 5676 5628 5653 Lower Low -0.44
Wall St 29237 28997 28953 Higher Low 0.15
Nasdaq 11169 11038 11167 Lower Low -1.17
Germany 11957 11866 11862 Higher Low 0.03
UK FTSE 6864 6829 6836 Lower Low -0.10

As can be seen in the table above, where markets closed Thursday with “Lower Lows”, the resultant percentage wasn’t entirely scary. Equally, on the two index where the market closed with High Lows, the percentage improvement didn’t exactly set the heather on fire. About the best we dare conclude from the above is fairly obvious, 6 out of 8 markets achieved Lower Lows with the result we should really suspect some continuance of grotty market conditions. The strange thing is, we’ve been suspecting the UK market shall bottom around 6750 for some time and the index is within a nod of achieving such a goal. To be honest, this suspected “bottom” is now being adjusted upward to around 6783 points, thanks to the utterly insane market swings experienced in the last couple of sessions. But making matters worse, these insane swings also introduce a Plus or Minus 20 points against this potential bottom!

There’s another question we’d like to skip neatly past but, what happens if our original 6750 level breaks? It feels like the FTSE shall continue to enjoy inflicting misery on traders as we expect a real bottom to make itself known at 6500 points. It’s perhaps worth remembering, on a daily basis we scan many shares and this week has seen a truly excessive number of UK stocks triggering downward movements.

 

From a near term perspective, the FTSE apparently requires to exceed 6917 points to trigger the potential of surprise recovery to an initial 6941 points. If bettered, our secondary calculation comes in at a more encouraging 7013 points.

The converse picture is less happy as below 6829 works out with reversal potentials to an initial 6770 with secondary, if broken, at 6718, taking the index into a region where a bottom around 6500 starts to look extremely probable.

To eradicate all this misery, the UK index needs a miracle above 7179 points, something which currently looks quite impossible.

On the bright side, it’s the Singapore Grand Prix this weekend and we’d like to thank one of our clients for sparing an invitation to visit and watch the race from his shack! <joking>

Have a good weekend.

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.

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.

Boohoo Group Plc LSE:BOO doing Halloween early!

#Brent #DOW

With Halloween just about upon us, it appears apt the company who like to say “Boo” are scaring the pants off traders, their share price taking part in a ruthless quest to discover a bottom. Given the company share price value has reduced by 75% since the start of this year, there’s certainly quite a lot to find frightening.

The online clothing retailer recently reported a 10% fall in revenues for the last 6 months and warned they expect annual sales to be down by a similar amount. Taking the blame for the reduction in revenue has been the “cost of living” crisis as no-one could have forecast increasing prices would lead to a reduction in sales. Couple this with a (long overdue) policy of now charging customers £1.99 for returning unwanted items, and the salient detail people are now free to visit shops, it becomes inevitable Boohoo would be given a good reason to cry.

 

In normal circumstances, we’d be quite enthusiastic for the immediate future, due to share price movements on the 28th September. Unfortunately, the price was initially gapped downward at the open, then spiked downward to 30p. The forced downward movement was thus spoiled as, while a downward spike in the opening second will often presage a surprise rise in price, the fact the price was firstly gapped downward confuses the issue.

Our inclination is to step back and simply quote from our Big Picture arguments. Allegedly, weakness continuing below 30 should trigger further reversal to an initial 25p with secondary, if broken, down at 15p and an “ultimate” bottom, this being a price level we cannot calculate below. From the Big Picture perspective, the price almost must bounce before the 15p level is attained, if ever.

However, if we pretend the manipulation gap didn’t happen, some optimism is permitted. Above 41p should now trigger gains in the direction of an initial 47p with secondary, if bettered, at 62p. Visually, it looks like a glass ceiling awaits around the 62p price level, due to historical movements. During July and August, the market decided this to be a “shall not pass” level and doubtless traders surfing a current rise shall assume the same set of rules will apply, selling pressure creating a self fulfilling prophecy.

 

We do suspect Boohoo are about to enact a “surprise” slight recovery and believe it should be worth watching in the days ahead.

GBP vs USD (FX:GBPUSD) and doom

#FTSE #SP500

Back in 1985, the UK enjoyed what was probably the most recent “real” Prime Minister in Margaret Thatcher, along with the release of Dire Straits cracker of a tune, “Money for Nothing”. Quite aptly, it also marked the last time Sterling collapsed against the Dollar, finding itself at a bottom of 1.05, marginally above the most recent fall from grace.

This time around, obviously entirely due to the lack of a “proper” Prime Minister, along with anyone producing decent music, we’re not convinced bottom is “in” for the GBPUSD relationship.

 

From our perspective, the problem comes from the pairing reaching 1.03x (the exact number varies depending on which platform data is taken from). From a Big Picture perspective, we’ve been expecting 1.01, perhaps even 0.99 as “bottom”. Perhaps it shall be the case residual strength in Sterling is presenting itself as capable of a solid bounce but, this being the case, movements in the last couple of days fail to inspire us with any confidence. In theory, the bounce should have ensured the pairing CLOSED Monday above 1.088 but despite briefly exceeding such a level, failed to close in relative safety. As a result, we suspect the agony may not be over for the UK Pound.

Maybe the UK Government needs rush out pound coins with the new Kings likeness stamped on them. That’ll do it! Or maybe not.

From a near term perspective, if weakness is indeed hiding within the pair, below 1.0610 looks capable of reversal to 1.0402 with secondary, if broken, down at 1.0160 from a near term perspective. Strangely, this is extremely close to 0.9986, the bottom the Big Picture almost demands must provide a bounce.

 

In the event the relationship manages above Mondays “spike” high of 1.095, there is apparently an encouraging potential of recovery to an initial 1.1353 with secondary, if beaten, at 1.2184.

Unfortunately, we feel duty bound to now mention Sterling is trading in a quite absurd area, one where we are allowed to mention 0.65 as the “ultimate” bottom.

Finsbury Growth and Income Trust Plc (LSE:FGT)

#Gold #SP500

It was a pleasure to read the headline blurb in Finsbury’s “About Us” section on their website. It was a master class in no-nonsense PR writing, completely avoiding buzz words, terminology invented by committee think, or meaningless guff. About our only complaint was the use of a 54 word sentence but conversely, it managed to be readable!

Due to our job, we read rather a lot of creative website descriptions and are often guilty of forming an instant dislike toward a company and their products, due to a plethora of guff. But with Finsbury, our kneejerk reaction was to nod approval at the sense of solid stability generated by their unashamedly big sentence. In the investment sector, this is how it should be, justifying our distain toward those companies who trumpet their credentials in the Blockchain and Crypto fields.

 

With regard the company share price, we’re currently a little less enthusiastic as weakness below 798p looks perfectly capable of provoking reversal to an initial 780p with secondary, if broken, at 742p. The secondary is something of a concern as it has the potential of taking the price below the Red uptrend since the pandemic drop of 2020. This creates the situation where should 742p break, we shall be forced to introduce 678p as a longer term drop target.

However, we note the share price need only close a session above 820p to nonsense these drop potentials.

On a brighter note, the share price moving above 850p will be taken as significant, allowing price recovery to an initial 885p with secondary, if beaten, at 935p. Such a price level meets a natural high which has formed since 2019 and hopefully, this time with a 3rd jab at the level will finally allow an upward attempt at a new all time high, calculating at an eventual 1058p.

Alas, with the feel of the markets at present, we suspect this FTSE 250 component shall be doomed to visit the 742p level.

Barclays

#Brent #Dax

Somewhat half heartedly, Barclays apparently triggered a recovery cycle to the 200p level a couple of weeks ago. Alas, the share price failed to complete the job, failing to close a session above 174p, instead – somewhat spitefully – opting to close at a high of just 173.96p. By 4/100th of a penny, it carefully avoiding committing to a trigger level, an utterly frustrating movement.

This sort of thing would be funny, if it weren’t real people with real money being played with. At least the price shuffle effectively confirmed we’d been following the correct trend, despite the market pushing us to the edge of a temper tantrum. Unfortunately, in the period since, the share price has found itself under threat by wider market influences (aka, interest rates, inflation, Russia).

 

Presently trading around 161.86p, the immediate situation suggests weakness below 160.5p risks triggering reversals to an initial 155.3p with secondary, if broken, at 150p and a very probable bounce. This “threat” of a bounce is further compounded by the present a the Red uptrend since the pandemic low of March 2020. It’s also quite important such a level justifies a bounce, thanks to a very real implication of a further 1/3 drop to an eventual ridiculous looking 100p!

 

There’s a bit of a however, thanks to the current market wide series of reversals all feeling a bit contrived. We harbour a suspicion the series of reversals shall suddenly cease, potentially by the time the FTSE troubles the 6,700 level. Hopefully, this shall tie in quite neatly with Barclays hitting the 150p level.

Amusingly, from a near term perspective, Barclays share price need only exceed 167p to once again give the prospect of a visit to 174p. Closing above this level remains utterly crucial for longer term hope, recovery to 198p with secondary 202p remaining very possible. The close proximity of this pair of targets tends suggest a stumble should be expected around such a level. Visually, this would make sense given the previous highs at the start of this year.

Our FTSE for Friday. And no Crunchie

#FTSE #Gold

Sometimes it feels like there’s a tedious campaign by the great and the good to trash the markets. The current vehicles of choice, interest rates & inflation, are rising while central banks announce some countries may already be in recession. Which, obviously, is a bad thing! It begs the question, just what the heck is going on?

Increasing interest rates obviously provokes a knock-on for inflation. Increasing prices ensure people buy less, along with the poorer sectors of society finding themselves in trouble and requiring support from the appropriate agencies. No-one seems to actually benefit from increased interest rates, yet they are been promoted as a tool to tackle inflation despite the converse being patently true. Perhaps it’s the case central treasuries want to force up prices to the point where people stop buying, forcing companies out of business, creating a shortage of product.

Whatever is going on feels like a dodgy tape player, where the music slows down, then suddenly speeds up until the track catches up with the loose tape. Maybe it’s “just” payback for the effective 18 month holiday many folk enjoyed during the pandemic. Any logic currently being applied has too many holes to make sense, except perhaps one. Rising prices mean rising VAT revenue for the government, a nice little earner generating quick cash flow to the treasury. Successive UK parliaments failed to wind back the “temporary” VAT rise to 20%, inflicted following the financial collapse of 2009, the nation becoming resigned to this stealthy “tax on profit”. Could it be the case interest rates & inflation are being viewed as a good thing, unfortunately by the wrong people; politicians?

 

As for the FTSE, the UK market has finally reached the end of the road, the index value closing below the Red uptrend which dates back to the day of the pandemic drop. We’ve run out of last ditch lows to gear this uptrend against and, as the inset highlights, it’d be daft to pretend any optimism. The immediate situation feels fairly painful.

Currently, weakness below 7149 points calculates with the potential of reversal to 7109 points. If broken, our secondary works out at 7036 points, hopefully with a bounce. If triggered, the tightest stop is at 7194 points, surprisingly tight given the haul of points allegedly on offer. Please remember, we are discussing the FTSE, not after hours futures.

As always, following a confused day of weakness, there’s the immediate threat of surprise recovery! In the case of the FTSE, above 7194 should apparently prove capable of an initial boring 7212 points. If bettered, our secondary works out at 7238 points, a price level where there’s an amazing third stage of movement possible, giving a further 100 point gain. However, we cannot, and should not, ignore the reality of the FTSE closing below the Red uptrend as this makes us suspect the worst.

Have a good weekend.

Will Rolls Royce Holdings Plc ever fly?

Rolls Royce Holdings Plc (LSE:RR.)

One of the trite sayings attributed to Warren Buffet goes along the lines of; “If you’re not willing to buy a share and wait 10 years, don’t dare buying one for just a 10 minute trade!” Blue chip share Rolls Royce is tending prove this statement, many folk assuming the 100p level would prove sacrosanct. Alas, this has not been the case and now, it’s getting as worrying as your next electricity bill.

Whatever is going on with Rolls Royce share price is all very strange. We’d assumed with Covid restrictions easing and jets once again flying, Rolls Royce share price would move in sympathy with the growth in air miles being covered. This assumption has obviously proven incorrect, the share price now trading in a zone where we can calculate an “ultimate bottom” around 24p, this representing a price level below which we cannot calculate.

Additionally, with Rolls Royce creating a new facility in France to produce engines for Dassaults shiny new Falcon 10X flagship, common sense indicated some optimism should enter the marketplace and affect the share price. It didn’t!

And then, there’s the hype around Rolls Royce and their new mini nuclear plants, produced on a modular basis and recently announced as being deployed in the Netherlands as the heart of the countries climate and energy policy for the future. It’s all looking quite exciting for the future, especially as the reactors (just 16 metres by 4 metres) are reckoned to enjoy a lifetime of around 60 years.

Despite this plethora of potentials, we’re pretty far from confident about Rolls Royce share price potentials for the immediate future, the share price requiring to close a session above 84p just to give a modicum of hope for positive movements. In the face of a stock market which feels determined to discover how far down RR can be pushed. Currently, below just 73p calculates with the potential of reversal now to an initial 60p with secondary, if broken, at 54p. Some slight hope can be taken from the close proximity of these target levels as generally, this will signify a zone in which a bounce can be anticipated. The share price requires below 54p to enter the Last Chance Salon, an area with an eventual ridiculous looking 24p awaiting.

What feels distinctly silly is giving such a negative outlook against a company which appears to show strong positives for the future. Perhaps Mr Buffets 10 year rule shall prove firmly embedded in reality.

 

To dwell briefly on the positive side of life, above 84p is supposed to provoke recovery to an initial 92p, exceeding the immediate Blue downtrend. Our secondary, if such a level is bettered, works out at 102p but, our rule of “Higher Highs” takes the price into a zone where a longer term ambition at 149p calculates as very possible.

In summary, we don’t expect a visit to 24p, instead thinking this shall prove worth watching for the 60p area making itself known. Like many shares, it’s currently worth watching but perhaps cover your eyes loosely.

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.
