FTSE for FRIDAY (FTSE:UKX)  It’s fairly obvious the FTSE intends head to 7840 points as the next major point of interest! The only problem appears to be a lack of will to actually go there. This week has provided a perfect ‘case in point’, the market essentially hitting the 7700 level, then just stopping as if a bunch of Just Stop Oil protestors were in the way.

Perhaps the FTSE has employed folk to wear Day-Glo jackets, parading around brokers to ensure FTSE 100 share prices stop recovering in a miraculous order, one capable of stalling the FTSE collectively at the 7700 point level. With share prices, we’re quite used to the formation of Glass Ceilings or Glass Floors, always with the expectation they shall break with strong movement following thereafter. But when an index which comprises 100 shares somehow conspires to stall so obviously, it’s only human to raise a question mark. Visually, this is as fishy as a snollygoster banker trying to explain the Farage farrago.

 

 

If we park our cynicism for a moment, the situation now exists where above 7710 points should apparently be capable of an attempt at a pretty tame 7735 points next. Our secondary, near term, works out at 7771 points. If triggered, the tightest stop loss looks tight at 7686 points, almost suspiciously reasonable.

Importantly, if taking us as gospel with an overall target level remaining at 7840 points on this cycle, we’d regard below 7610 as capable of utterly trashing our calculations.

 

Our alternate, negative, scenario allows for weakness below 7686 points to trigger reversal to a fairly benign 7665 points with secondary, if broken, at 7651 points.

 

Have a good weekend. Hopefully this Grand Prix is a bit better than last weekends.

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

#Gold #Nasdaq  It’s not often a FTSE 100 component makes a 21% upward shuffle but Rolls Royce finally enacted something we’ve been waiting for since March of this year.  Of course, with such a movement, there was an immediate urge to trigger a glitter bomb but of course, as it’s 2023, it transpires glitter is in short supply.

Okay, we’re kidding about the Rolls Royce celebrations but serious about the shortage of the annoying material. With grand-daughters visiting during the school holidays, one of their “things” is to collect sea shells and rocks from the beach, choosing to paint and decorate them on days when the Scottish weather turns… Scottish. Today was one such day, a trip to the beach rained off by mid afternoon, prompting a visit to a local craft shop to replenish supplies of paint, glue, and glitter. It transpires glitter is in short supply, the problem not actually blamed on a supply chain crisis but instead, either the motor or boat industry, both of which apparently use copious amounts of glitter in their paint. In the USA, there’s also another suspect in the covert use of glitter, the toothpaste industry! Quite why toothpaste variants use aluminium and polyethylene utterly defeats us but, to be honest, we don’t mind. Anything which ensures the girls don’t have access to glitter is a good thing as generally, it takes months until every inevitable spillage almost vanishes.

 

The market was certainly impressed with the news from Rolls Royce, opting to gap the share price up from 152p on Tuesday to an opening price of 175p on Wednesday, a lift of 15% before any trading actually took place. We’d been waiting for a visit to the 190p level and were amazed all the heavy lifting was enacted in one day. Given our target level was slightly exceeded, some quite fascinating potentials are opening up for the longer term, the first of which is a suggestion movement now above 192p should make an attempt at 232p next with secondary, if bettered, at 244p. Given the proximity of these target levels, we rather suspect some hesitation will be on the cards, especially as they match the pre-Covid19 highs of 2020, a price level which many shares tend stumble at.

At this point, we can switch to our Bigger Picture calculation tier as it demands share price CLOSURE above 232p to once again trigger the potentials of extraordinary long term movement for Rolls Royce, giving an ambition at a distant 307 with secondary, if bettered, a truly amazing 397p. However, a lot will depend on what actually happens around the 232p level as we do suspect any market hesitation at such a level will impact on longer term hopes and dreams.

 

For everything to now go wrong for Rolls Royce, their share price needs wither below 133p, risking a visit to 100p initially with secondary, if broken, at 66p, a drop calculation which doesn’t even look silly! For now, we suspect everything has changed for the better, at least until 232p makes an appearance.

#FTSE #Wall_St  As a small, fat bloke with diabetes, it’s rare do I get to say “this company is targeting me!” but it’s pretty clear I’m a small, fat, part of Optibiotix target market. In fairness to myself, losing 30+kg since the Diabetes diagnosis hasn’t hurt one bit. Optibiotix specialise in what they call “Lifestyle Diseases”, probably better thought of as self inflicted harm and aside from a propensity to use big words, their website is worth a visit, where they endeavour to prove science can help humanity, ideally not by blowing them all up.

 

We’re a little concerned at the surge in Opti’s share price over the last five sessions as it looks almost too impressive, the sort of thing typically spawned by over-optimistic internet chatroom gossip. But, the other side of the coin is the reality the share price has finally moved into a situation where considerable hope is almost possible for the longer term. We just wish the share had managed to close marginally higher than 37.6p on the 25th July as this would’ve created an official “higher high”, bettering the figures from July 2022. Instead, by matching this point on the historical chart, it creates a situation where we shall not be surprised to witness some hesitation at current levels.

If we lay cynicism aside and instead, focus on our calculations, it appears above 38.5p should next promote recovery to an initial 42.25p with our longer term secondary, if bettered, working out at 54.4p along with almost certain hesitation given historical behaviour through 2020 and 2021. From our perspective, the share needs closure above 54.4p to create a game changing environment, one which should permit future growth to 84.2p with a Big Picture secondary at a distant looking 131p.

 

If everything intends go pear shaped, the share price needs below 22p to ring serious alarm bells. Such a disaster risks triggering reversal to an initial 16p with secondary, if broken, at 9p and hopefully a bottom capable of restarting the recovery process all over again. To be fair, we’d already hope for a bounce at the 16p level, given it has the prospect of tangling with the Blue downtrend on the chart, one which dates back to 2018.

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

#Gold #S&P500  It was once said, the Church of England could be best described as the UK Conservative Party at Prayer. Given the historical association of senior Conservatives** with Tullow Plc, perhaps the company could be referred to as why UK Conservatives Wish Wikipedia Didn’t Exist! A share price going from £16 to an eventual 7p remains a truly impressive feat.

Thankfully, there are signs Tullow is on the edge of some slight share price recovery with hints a reboot is in the offing, though probably not as good as the rebirth of the Futurama satirical cartoon on telly.

Presently trading around 33p, the share price wandering above 35p should next trigger some recovery to an initial 45p with our longer term secondary, if exceeded, calculating at 56p. Visually, it would be reasonable to anticipate some hesitation at the 56p level, given its price history over the last few years. We shall be inclined to regard closure above 56p as key from a Big Picture perspective due to sufficient strength existing which implies 85p is a viable target for the distant future.

 

All things considered, it appears 2013 produced a perfect storm of shambolic news for Tullow, the company digging itself a hole and forgetting the cardinal rule, knowing when to stop digging. While the Wikipedia page produces a set piece of how not to handle PR problems, it certainly appears since 2013 the company has attempted a degree of stability, presumably while everyone works out just what the heck happened. As the chart shows, their share price has lacked anything approaching excitement for the last few years. With the company actually being a full service member of the industry, maybe it shall prove the case the current firm oil price will reflect on Tullows prospects.

 

For everything to now go horribly wrong, below 25p risks a visit down to an initial 22p with secondary, if broken, at 16p and hopefully a bounce.

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

#Brent #Dax  Barclays are the definition of mixed signals currently, their share price perhaps still trying to impress upon us that the downtrend in Blue, a line which dates back to 2007 and a day when the share was worth 792p, remains a viable trend for the company. We’re focussed upon it, due once again to price movements treating this line with a degree of importance.

 

From our perspective, there’s a risk of Barclays turning into a “sure thing”, something we doubt due to the overall feel of the markets currently. Despite the UK FTSE remaining the worst performing market among the majors, there are very slight signs Barclays may be on the edge of doing something useful. Who knows, perhaps they are considering using Mr Farage for some sort of PR boost, an initiative which would surely create a “hold my beer” moment when compared with Nike or Budweiser. However, with Barclays share price now closing marginally above the Blue downtrend (the trend is at 161.16 at time of writing), we’re willing to present some criteria which should prove capable of provoking reasonable upward share travel.

 

We can calculate now above 168p should apparently trigger share price recovery to an initial 175p with our longer term secondary, if the initial is exceeded, working out at 186p along with almost certain hesitation. Our thinking about the 186p level becoming a problem is fairly straightforward. This almost matches the highs of February this year, invariably giving a bunch of folk an excuse to bail at break even. In addition, any gain will be seen as “covering the circled gap”, once again providing a reason to cash in on any rise.

And third, the share price shall once again decorate the price level experienced, before Covid-19 hit the fan.

Thus, a little collection of excuses are making themselves apparent, allegedly capable of causing some upward hesitation.

Less obvious, a little market truism. If the market comes to the conclusion a bunch of folk intend bail at the 186p, the odds grow an attempt at our 3rd level ambition of 200p shall become valid! After all, there are few things folk enjoy more than selling a share, only to watch the price gallop off into the distance.

 

In the event things intend go horribly wrong for Barclays, the share price needs weakness below Red (currently 136) as this threatens to trigger reversal to an initial 126 with secondary, if broken, at 116p and hopefully a bounce.

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

Our FTSE reports sometimes feel like the UK weather, mostly pretty dull in outlook but occasionally good news sneaks in. In ‘The Only Living Boy in New York’, Paul Simon sung; “I get all the news I need on the weather report”. Alas, nowadays even the weather report cannot be trusted, due to ‘them’ hyping up their headlines to generate internet views. Our preference of eschewing clickbait prose may make our words less exciting, but a desire to be correct without dramatics tends make sense. Plus, nowadays, who even pays attention to weather warnings?

For a few weeks, we’ve been suffering daily weather outlooks which all suggest ‘Sunny with Showers’ and a high of 17c. In reality, some monsoon like conditions prevailed with the following day invariably dry and sunny. This hints weather forecasters are lying down, their feet in a freezer and head in an oven, declaring an outlook which is at best an average and thus, on balance correct.

Thankfully, the markets are easier to predict. (That was a joke!)

 

For a few months, we’ve been moaning about the Blue line on the FTSE chart below, suspecting quite strongly it was going to prove important for the future. Today, Thursday 20th July, the FTSE managed to close a session above Blue, also managing a weak 4 points higher than the previous “high” in June. While we prefer our “higher highs” to exhibit more commitment than this, the fact it has occurred above what seems to be an important trend line gives considerable hope some positive movement is scheduled for the FTSE.

As a result, above just 7670 points calculates as capable of promoting a lift toward 7739 points next, a price level at which there’s no immediate excuse to provide hesitation. Our longer term secondary ambition, if such a target is exceeded, works out at 7865 points, a fairly useful target which we strongly doubt shall be the work of a single day.

 

If everything intends go wrong, our converse scenario currently suggests weakness below 7596 risks causing some trouble, allowing for initial weakness to an unlikely looking 7534 points with secondary, if broken, at 7500 points.

 

Have a good weekend and hopefully the Grand Prix proves enjoyable, despite the organisers making another ridiculous attempt to make the Sunday race superfluous.

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

#Gold #Stoxx50  Somehow or other, one of our grand-daughters has developed a sense of humour. There’s even a slight chance the blame lies with me, due to a habit of ensuring each year is punctuated with a major “gotcha” for her, usually months in the making. This year has seen her revenge, her victim being the microwave. Firstly, she “stole” the clock from the display. A few months later, the display discovered darkness until the door was opened and now, visiting for the school holidays, she’s managed to utterly silence the machines irritating “beeps”. I know she’s discovered the manufacturers programming codes, generally accessed by a complex series of key presses, designed to make it impossible for the public to mess with the software. Neither my wife nor I have risen to the bait, intending to carry out a hard reset on the thing while sabotaging the cookers software, probably to disable the timer which she relies upon for her baking.

We’re starting to suspect her Mum has regaled her with stories of her own childhood, hopefully not including the time she discovered Fairy Liquid and a dishwasher REALLY do not mix.

 

 

Kiers price movements are sponsoring this delve into whimsical thoughts as when we reviewed ’em a year ago, we’d proposed 70p as an ultimate bottom, this being a number below which we couldn’t calculate. As September ended in 2022, the share price stumbled below 70p, making us fear for the worst as we couldn’t realistically work out anywhere else for the price to go. Similar to myself floundering around looking for a Microwave beep, the share has managed to enact everything possible to confuse the market but by the end of April this year, some hope was discovered Kier share price is on the edge of doing something useful.

 

There are some fairly solid signs the construction industry is finally starting to give hope for investors and we’d hope Kier shall join in any upward surprise movements. The immediate situation is quite interesting, suggesting above 86p should now promote the concept of price recovery to an initial 99p. Our longer term secondary, if 99p is exceeded, calculates at 121p and some probable hesitation, if only due to prior highs.

For everything to go horribly wrong, the share price now needs wither below 60p to give an early impression of real trouble. Visually, it looks like optimism should be the order of the day for the future and hopefully, UK politicians don’t position themselves to spoil the party.

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. 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.
