UFO’s and UPS plus Infosys Limited, different peas, different pods…

#Gold #SP500

It’s funny how a brush with UFO’s can provoke thoughts on UPS’ share price. It all started with two lights in the night sky, one which made an impossible 90 degree turn with no loss of speed, the other continuing onward in utter silence. In the years since the event, clear nights justified wandering outside but for the last two years, the primary moving lights high overhead have been from UPS & DHL airfreight craft.

The shear volume of airfreight proved astounding, especially during Lockdowns as passenger aircraft became a rarity. Instead, a hurried glance at the popular FlightRadar24 website would reveal incredible numbers of air cargo jets, moving parcels back and forth across the Atlantic. Recently however, while there’s a noticeable uptick in passenger jets, there also appears to be a reduction in the number of cargo aircraft, making us wonder if the charge back to “normal” is now effecting peoples shopping habits, fewer parcels needing sent around the world. Quite why people prefer shopping ‘in person’ remains a complete mystery.

 

A glance at UPS’s share price starts to confirm this suspicion as something certainly appears to be going on, due to their share price constantly descending to lower altitudes.

UPS needs exceed $203 to nullify this scenario, so as it’s trading around $190, this permits a reasonable stop loss level.

Now below $186 allows weakness down to an initial $168 with secondary, if broken, at $154 and visually, a very possible bounce level. There is the potential for extreme danger, should the price discover an excuse to close a session below $154 as we can calculate $120 as a “bottom”.

Infosys Limited (NYSE:INFY) A share, clearly beloved by the current UK chancellor and his wife, trades on the New York stock exchange and for obvious reasons, must be worthy of a glance. From Wikipedia, the company is described as “Infosys Limited is an Indian multinational information technology company that provides business consulting, information technology and outsourcing services. The company was founded in Pune and is headquartered in Bangalore“.

Doubtless the company are cursing the political ambitions of one of the family as it appears their share price has suffered, thanks to the rumbling scandal from the UK. The immediate situation looks fraught with danger as weakness below $22.5 looks capable of promoting reversal to a pretty safe sounding $21.94. While visually there’s a degree of hope for a rebound from such a level, things become nasty as the price will be viewed as breaking the Covid-19 uptrend since 2020. This creates a situation where weakness below $21.94 allows further traffic down to the $17 level.

We can hope the company have avoided contracts with the UK Government. The current climate shall doubtless expose them to scrutiny, conjecture and rumour. Should the $17 level make an appearance, there’s a severe risk of ongoing weakness to an eventual ultimate bottom at $9.22.

Lloyds Banking ready to grow?

#BrentFutures #DAX Continuing our moan about the weather in Scotland, some early buds were spotted on a cherry blossom tree overhanging a garden pool. Maybe Spring is coming but during the night, we also saw -4c temperatures. Similarly, Lloyds Bank share price is currently exhibiting some tentative movements, perhaps teasing us of some good times ahead. Can we be confident?

If we continue to pretend optimism, apparently now above 45.55p should trigger a slow but steady, share price recovery toward an initial 53.5p, visually a truly remarkable result and an ambition capable of running into the Blue downtrend since the heady days before the pandemic. This sort of thing tends make the scenario believable but we’ve some doubts over our secondary calculation. We work out should 53.5p be exceeded, a secondary of 57.3p can be conjured.

Our worry about the secondary is it risks being quite game changing! It’s a high, higher than the previous high within the ruling downtrend, thus, in catchy market lingo, it’s an official “higher high”. This allows us to cough politely and grudgingly admit the Big Picture now exerts a longer term attraction at a future 77p, a return to levels not seen since 2015 and a more innocent time, when the UK chancellor was apparently working in the US, thanks to his Green Card credentials. Something distinctly fishy appears to be taking place with Ian Hyslop and Co being extremely careful with their words on the recent ‘Have I Got News For You’ telly show. Hopefully any impending implosion in the UK treasury fails to further damage the banking sector.

However, should the UK chancellor intend continue the illustrious political tradition of ruining the markets, Lloyds need only trade below 43.3p to risk triggering reversals to an initial 40.5p. If broken, our secondary calculates at 37.3p, breaking the immediate uptrend and risking a visit to a longer term “bottom” at 28p. Similar to everything going on in Downing St, the weight of movements against Lloyds share price is extremely messy but fast approaching a point where some solid movements shall become inevitable. Unfortunately, we lack confidence as to direction currently.

Our incredible FTSE for FRIDAY & Ripple too

#FTSE #Gold

Here in Argyll, Scotland, there’s something assuring when yachts start to appear at their moorings outside on the sea. The last few years of lockdowns almost felt the absence of boats was like the first buds of spring missing but this week has seen a new vessel every day. Will the FTSE ever show signs of sprouting into a new era?

FTSE Bigger Picture Okay, it’s an exceedingly tenuous excuse to justify a moorings snapshot at (an absolutely freezing) dusk tonight but despite the FTSE proving less than flamboyant recently, market movements during March are giving some hope the index may indeed bud this spring. Firstly, there’s the issue of the pre-Russia high of 7,500 points.

The market has challenged and exceeded this high repeatedly since the 3rd week of March. This tends suggest the market is poised, simply awaiting good news to exhibit some decent acceleration. From a Big Picture perspective, we continue to show the 8,100 point level as exerting an attraction to the index.

Also, when we review the uptrend since the Russia low of March 7th, on every occasion the market broke its immediate uptrend, the market also nudged higher than the level of trend break within a couple of sessions. In addition to telling us the previous uptrend was “tosh”, it also implies hidden strength. Trading around 7,543 points at time of writing, the index only need better 7,565 to signal any immediate reversals should prove short lived and further uphill nudges are expected. Perhaps importantly, any nod in the right direction now exceeding 7,615 should probably be taken seriously, implying a cycle to 7,770 with secondary, if bettered, at 8,100, is commencing.

FTSE Nearer Term From a near term perspective, the crazy situation remains of us hoping for the best, every time the FTSE does its worst. In reality, everything doubtless depends on the Russia/Ukraine situation but a near term scenario, allowing weakness below 7,536 to make an attack on 7,518 calculate as possible, risks presenting early warning, if any real trouble is coming.  Our secondary calculation, should 7,518 break, works out at 7,468 points and hopefully a rebound.

 

Our converse scenario for gains is proving a little difficult to suggest. The first week of April has seen the market perform in a strange manner, almost as if the Blue downtrend on the chart below is actually a hard and fast rule, something the UK index is prohibited from crossing. The immediate situation presents a scenario, where above 7,583 points is supposed to inspire movement to an initial 7,618 points. If bettered, our secondary is at 7,631 points. Neither ambition is particularly stunning but as both targets come with the implication of a break above Blue, we’re lacking confidence. Unless, of course, something perceived as positive happens with Russia, in which case any near term movements should rapidly be overwhelmed by the bigger picture taking over.

Ripple (XRPUSD)

The last year has seen Ripple behaving in a quite boring fashion but equally, managing to avoid some of the major pratfalls experienced by popular Crypto’s. However, as the chart shows, this is approaching a crisis level, a point where traders will make assumptions should it exceed the Blue downtrend, something which has been quite neatly defined since the start of 2021.

Keeping with the maritime theme, if Ripple decides to make waves and exceed just 0.91, we can calculate the potential of rapid acceleration up to 1.17 next with secondary, if bettered, at a longer term 1.44 and a challenge against the long term downtrend which dates back to 2018.

The market would require travel below 0.63 to give cause for alarm, breaking Red and suggesting an unpleasant bottom target at 0.40.

Sareum Holdings Plc and a happy future?

#Nasdaq #SP500

When we previously reviewed #Sareum, we suggested the share price needed close above 9.45p to suggest good things ahead for the future. Alas, despite the share price achieving our primary AND secondary targets intraday, the highest closing price achieved was slightly short at 9.3p. The rest, as they say, is history. Currently trading at 140p, only thanks to a 50:1 share split, this price conceals the salient detail the price is really trading at just 2.7p in old money.

Over the years, we’ve learned to distrust share splits, when the manoeuvre is designed to make a penny share sound more respectable. Invariably, this simply places the price in a position where the market can again edge the price back downhill. At this point, Sareum has only experienced just over a month of trading at “respectable” levels but unless some miracle permits the share to close a session above the Blue downtrend on the chart (189.949p at time of writing), we’re not exactly bubbling over with optimism.

 

It’s truly strange how this situation tends dominate in the UK, whereas in the US, converse movements promote optimism which is usually justified. Regardless whether it’s Apple and their repeat splits or Tesla with its most recent 1:5 split, or even Google with their 1:2 split back in 2014, the longer term consequences of these efforts to make a share price sound cheaper always seem to pay off for the investor.

 

Perhaps Sareum shall break the mould as visually the share price isn’t miles away from the downtrend and there are already suggestions for some positive movement. Now above just 148p should prove capable of triggering price recovery to an initial 183p. As the chart highlights, such a target is a nod and a wink away from the ruling downtrend and therefore, hints at the potential for closure above the trend in the weeks ahead. Our secondary in such an instance calculates at 227p, along with a visual threat for some hesitation due to a prior high.

 

On the converse side, the price needs trade below 115p to justify some real alarm. The 115p level is a Big Picture thing and movement below risks nudging open the gates of panic. Below 115p and we can calculate a hopeful bottom of 84p and that’s it. In the limbo dance of share prices, we cannot work out any targets below such a level without introducing minus signs.

To end on an optimistic note, we previously enjoyed reading about Sareum’s area of operations and remain impressed with their approach. Hopefully at such stage this shall be reflected in their share price.

Easyjet Plc, a share with teeth

#FTSE #CAC40

It’s easy to sympathise with the likes of #Easyjet, due to currently experiencing very vaguely similar trauma to the airline. They must be constantly wondering “what else can go wrong?” with their industry. The Boeing 737 Max?, Covid-19 lockdowns, Russia, an in-house Covid outbreak, and now, Manchester Airport gloriously shocking incompetence. Every time Easyjet think they dare relax, another “gotcha” awaits. My own crisis comes from easing of mask regulations, thankfully still in place in Scotland but ignored by around 50% of folk.

 

From a personal stance, it has become crucial mask regulations remain in force north of the border. A visit to the dentist with a bunch of x-rays, resulted in a particularly unpleasant telephone call. The dental practice holds meetings to discuss awkward cases and my own issue was discussed, a course of action agreed upon. It involves the removal of four of my top row front teeth, due to a gum infection. Even worse, due to other issues (which may result in a prolonged healing time and excess bleeding) there is also a warning cosmetic work may require delayed for up to 2 months. This results in the situation where I’m forced to become a leading advocate of wearing masks in public and shall complain to the Scottish puppet government, if they dare consider relaxing regulations. If passengers on every Easyjet flight from Luton to Glasgow are required to slip a mask on, as they over-fly Carlisle, it shan’t bother me in the slightest. Vanity has a new name.

 

Easyjet share price is a bit of a mess, the constant negative influences against the airline clearly taking their toll. Price movements since 2020 have created a ‘head & shoulders’ formation on the chart and while never a certainty for trauma, some pause for thought is recommended, especially if the share price ever discovers an excuse to drop below the “Russia” low of 417p in March. Anything as unpleasant as this risks reversal to an initial 295p with secondary, if broken, down at an eventual 22p.

Strangely though, things get worse with this ridiculous sounding scenario. If we visit the really big picture and run the numbers against price shuffles since 2012, Easyjet has a truly serious problem at 417p. We now cannot calculate an ultimate bottom, thanks to all Big Picture calculations returning answers below zero. Some hope can be taken from the precise nature of the Russia drop to 417p, almost tending to indicate the market performed a similar calculation and decided not to mess with The Big Picture.

 

For any sign of optimism, the share price needs exceed 580p for early hope, calculating with the potential of a lift to 698p next. If bettered, our secondary works out at 821p, a significant level which should easily promote future ambitions toward 1049p. Who knows, perhaps current UK PM Boris Johnston shall designate Easyjet as his favourite Party Airline…

Many thanks to the kind folk who visit adverts on this page. It keeps us in coffee. And have you seen the price of coffee!!!

Chariot Ltd LSE:CHAR Racing ahead…

#Gold #SP500

It’s tempting to describe Chariot’s share price as going through a ‘Transitional Phase’. The company website employs the buzzword, doubtless approved by committee, to describe their work in Africa; ‘Transitional Gas’ and ‘Transitional Energy’. Only when digging a little deeper does one discover the term is meaningless when applied to their operations. Essentially, ‘transitional’ tends imply a temporary something which shall pass, yet the company appears to be making solid inroads to its target markets.

We’d to permit a snigger where the company proclaim a potential benefit to communities in Africa by reducing dependency on energy imports, thereby lowering bills etc. Try telling that to anyone who stays in Scotland, self sufficient in electricity due to wind/hydro/ etc and obviously self sufficient on oil. As a result of these real life bonus’s, among the most expensive energy in Europe is, of course, in Scotland…

Share price movements in the last few sessions tend fortify a belief something substantial is taking place and with the price currently trading around 22.8p, it appears we can allocate 24.3p as a sane trigger level which should promote further growth. Apparently this trigger level should be quite a big deal, capable of exceeding the highs at the start of 2018 and moving immediate gain potentials into Big Picture territory. In other words, above just 24.3p calculates with the potential of an initial 32p with secondary, if bettered, a longer term 42p.

To spoil the party, the share price needs relax below Blue on the chart, a long term downtrend currently around 13p. Without exaggeration, a mess such as this could prove quite dreadful as a decline to an eventual 2p becomes possible.

Barclays Plc, the share price from hell…

#Brent #Dax

The Blue downtrend on the Barclays chart (since 2013!) is proving fascinating. For 7 years, the market appeared committed to stopping the share price bettering Blue, not matter what. But since March 2021 and the share price finally exceeding Blue, the market appears committed to stopping the share price moving below Blue. Instead, we’ve a painful series of reversals which tease Blue but fail to close below.

We fear this respect for the trend line may be close to coming to an end.

Currently trading around 147p, the share price need only break below 142p to trigger reversal to an initial 132p. If broken, our secondary calculates at 126p, along with a vague hope for a bounce. We’re forced to be a little cagey with our hopes, due to the harsh reality of the share price entering a zone where a longer term cycle to an eventual bottom at 95p becomes very possible. What’s truly surprising about this shambles is pretty straightforward. For a while, Barclays looked like shining brightly among the UK banking sector but somehow, now appears to have face-planted in the mud. It’s not an encouraging sight and we’re inclined to suggest keeping an eye on this as surely, if 95p makes an appearance, a proper bounce shall become possible.

 

In the hope everything going on with Barclays is just an optical delusion (it’s not) allegedly the share price need only exceed 152p to give hope for surprise recovery, calculating with an initial potential of recovery to a tame looking 168p. With closure above such a level, things become rather more interesting as we now work out the potential of 210p making a future appearance. For now, we suspect the price is as safe as the current UK Prime Ministers grip on the keys of power. Watching “Have I Got News For You” on Friday, the opening 10+ minutes comprised constant jokes at the PM’s gaffes, not one of the jokes being repeated to pad things out.

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.
