#France #SP500 There’s something extremely curious going on with the stock market and Vodafone’s share price. In fact, we’ve never seen this sort of thing before. Vodafone continues to frustrate, due to its lack of realistic movements. For instance, the drop last year to 93p was, from our perspective, arithmetically correct, reaching a calculated target and going no further. In the period since, briefly achieving 140p wasn’t the most exciting interaction with its long term Red uptrend.

This long term Red uptrend makes us question what the heck the market is playing at with Vodafone. We’ve shown three zoomed in areas where we question some price movements. It’s worth remembering the Red line dates back to 2002, clearly something the stock market attaches a lot of importance to.

Exhibit One; In March 2020, the market gapped the price below the historical Red uptrend. Not a big deal, we thought. Just a Covid thing.

Exhibit Two. In June 2020, Vodafone looked like it was enacting recovery. The market said “nope”, promptly gapping the share price down below the historical Red uptrend.

Exhibit Three. In May 2021, Vodafone yet again looked like it was trying for recovery. The market again said “nope”, gapping the share price safely below the historical Red uptrend.

 

While a chart pattern clearly hasn’t formed, a pattern of behaviour surely makes itself clear. In the period to which we refer, the FTSE has struggled against recovery and at times we’ve felt the market itself was the enemy, determined for the FTSE 100 to founder while European and American markets flourished. It remains a surprise how the UK AIM market, for years the “whipping boy” amongst UK indices, essentially is matching US price strengths, while the FTSE 100 does its own thing.

As gaps are, essentially, share price manipulation, it begs the question as to what’s going on? Surely if this deliberate restraint continues, some of the market grown ups must start asking questions?

 

We’re almost at a loss regarding Vodafone current prospects. With every attempt at recovery being reversed by “trading gaps”, we can only suspect Vodafone needs gapped UP above Red to indicate a change of heart, along with a strong suggestion pointing at sustained recovery. At present, if Vodafone exceeded 140p, we’d be fairly certain movement in the direction of 164p was ahead. If exceeded, our secondary calculates at a longer term 188p and importantly, moves the share price into pole position for challenging price levels not seen since 2016.

Thanks to the repeated gapping behaviour, we’d now experience considerable alarm if the market ever discovered an excuse to move Vodafone below 93p. Such treacherous territory allows for an ultimate bottom of 51p.

#Gold #SP500 A few things can be irritating about Scotland. Obviously, the Scots themselves can be a major irritant but for second place, we’re torn between Hurricane Energy and an insect called ‘The Midge’. The Midge, famed for enjoying the fastest wing speed on the entire planet, unfortunately tends to provide an abiding memory for visitors and unfortunately, this year looks like providing a vintage crop of the vile little sods.

As can be assumed, a usually enjoyable session with the little tractor turned into some sort of Hitchcock nightmare on Tuesday, clouds of the biting monsters ensuring playtime finished quickly with a lawn uncut and the heavy grass roller still in storage. This new toy, essentially an extremely heavy concrete sausage which attaches to the tractor with chains, promises additional excuses to slowly promenade outside while pretending to be engaged in serious work.

 

Unlike the Scottish Midge, people didn’t need visit Scotland to be stung by Hurricane Energy, an explorer focussed on the seas around Scotland!

For some time, the share has been trading at levels where we cannot calculate an ultimate bottom. Once the price opted to drill below 11p in March 2020, we’ve been floundering thanks to a lack of “ultimate bottom” target levels. However, in the last week, the share price has managed to enact some interesting movements making us wonder if something important is about to happen. To be honest, we shall not be surprised if the ploy of a ‘share split’ is enacted, perhaps a 50:1 sleight of hand to pretend the share price is back trading at levels last seen in 2018 and 2019. Alas, the harsh reality with these games is an outcome where share prices again face a few years of being slaughtered by an unsympathetic market, the main losers being private investors.

Obviously, we’ve absolutely NO inside knowledge suggesting this sort of thing is coming, just a painfully familiar feeling. When a share remains trading despite the price being arithmetically miles below our “ultimate bottom” of 11p, we tend suspect some financial gymnastics are coming. Less likely (but it happens) is a flow of good news, capable of changing company fortunes.

 

However, if we chose to search for reasonable trigger levels, it appears Hurricane Energy needs trade above just 1.75p to give early warning for some reasonable movement. According to our software, movement above 1.75p should lead to a completely boring 2.25p. Only if the share price discovers a reason to explore above 2.25p do things become really interesting as recovery to an initial 3.5p calculates as possible.

If 3.5p is exceeded, our secondary works out at 4.4p and visually, it even makes some sense. In a conventional world, should such a level make an appearance, we shall need examine price movements and “run the numbers” again, thanks to some pretty illogical recovery levels making themselves known.

#Gold_Futures #Nasdaq #Aviva share price is currently experiencing the hesitation we anticipate from the FTSE, at some point in a future which increasingly feels very far away. Their share price has managed to equal the pre-pandemic high, spending the last few months stumbling around uselessly, obviously in shock at the temerity of its actions! We hesitate to use words like “Sure Thing” but when we examine this movement model on international markets, we’re able to give an interesting potential.

It will also be worth remembering the company are scheduled to issue a trading statement this Thursday, presumably something of greater interest than their attempt to steal headlines by warning of the risk of fires, this coming Bank Holiday weekend. Apparently BBQ’s rely on fire and thus, from an insurance standpoint, are a bad thing…

 

Presently trading around 406p, the share price only need exceed 421p to trigger some interesting recovery. Above 421p should look for gains in the direction of 473p with our longer term secondary, calculating at a solid looking 500p. Obviously, this assumption is based on what happened with similar shares internationally, when they finally broke above the pre-Covid highs of February 2020. It’s something of a surprise to note this scenario allegedly has a long term attraction coming from 671p, a price level absent from Aviva since 2008. We’re less than convinced at this potential but the arguments favouring 473/500p are proving strong.

 

If we chose to look at the dark side, the earliest warning for things going wrong for Aviva shall come, if the share price manages to trade below 373p. This risks trouble as we can calculate an initial target of 331p, a level at which we’d hope for a rebound. If broken, our secondary calculation works out at 298p and represents a point where we shall need review all the numbers again.

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

#Brent_Futures #DAX The Monaco Grand Prix and Lloyds Bank have one thing in common. Both appear to offer a lot, both fail to deliver anything useful. A Formula 1 race where the most exciting thing was a stuck wheel nut versus a major bank where in 3 weeks, its share price has moved by just 2p. About the only thing we can take solace from is the share price didn’t actually drop in this period, while the FTSE 100 suffered downward volatility.

For those folk with a life, who wisely avoided the annual boredom of the worst race on the calendar, Monaco is a painful experience, only usually tarted up by the glamour of the ‘race’. With restricted visitors, glamour was absent, producing an event which would be more entertaining if the drivers were pushing supermarket trolleys rather than driving cars. In fairness, the drivers would probably enjoy the day more, if this were the case!

 

Lloyds Bank share price has grown by 8p since the middle of February. We’d be churlish if we didn’t admit this 20% improvement in price reflects well against FTSE 100 performance. In the same period, the UK index has only recovered by 10%, still lagging a country mile below the pre-Covid19 high level of 7,500 points.

Such is the disappointing pace of movement, we’re inclined to allocate 50p as the next trigger level for the share. The situation now suggests above 50p shall make movement toward an initial 55p almost inevitable. If bettered, our longer term secondary calculates at 58.3p, an ambition which neatly matches the share price prior to the pandemic kicking everything into the gutter.

It’s now the case Lloyds Bank share price needs close a session below 44p to inspire panic, risking entering a zone where reversal to a bottom of 34p looks very possible.

As ever, our thanks to those folk who visit some of the interesting adverts on this page from Google.

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

#DOW #FTSE #Bitcoin remains attracting plenty of interest, despite the inability of folk to trade it via conventional, respectable, brokers. However, when it managed to ditch 30% of its value during an amazing session on Wednesday, we’re curious as to whether folk remain fascinated. Someone, somewhere, probably thought it was a solid BUY at $39k on Wednesday at noon, the price matching the low of the day. Just 2 hours later, it had lost another $9,000, inevitably collecting a lot of ‘stops’ on the way down.

Once sufficient stop losses had been harvested just above the $30,000 level, the price recovered as if nothing serious had happened.

In fairness, not only Bitcoin experienced a mugging. The issue spread throughout crypto-land, Ethereum being down 43% at one point. All things considered, Wednesday was a bad day for crypto currency but probably a good day for underwear sales. The issue now is one of recovery or more correctly, will it recover?

 

Presently trading around $39,600, Bitcoin presents a puzzle for the reversal experienced. We had fully expected it to fall further, a suspicion which has failed to go away. In the event of the value now breaking below $37,500, there’s a distinct risk of a reversal cycle commencing to an initial $26,200 with secondary, when broken, at a bottom (hopefully) of $21,100 along with an (almost) certain bounce. We are currently unable to calculate anything below the $21k level and for this reason alone, would hope for a significant rebound if such a point is discovered.

To point at a return to happy Bitcoin days, the price needs above $42,700 as this is supposed to trigger recovery to an initial $50,600. If exceeded, our secondary works out at $61,200. Our expectations of such a secondary appearing anytime soon, are roughly at a similar level as anticipating Chelsea fans staging a track invasion at this weekends Monaco Grand Prix.

FTSE for FRIDAY Fridays tend treat the FTSE fairly indifferently but for some reason, our outlook for the day calculates fairly positively. It’s certainly unlikely to be anything related to Formula 1 as Monaco must surely qualify as the one race the sport could do without. Unless it rains, the prospect of watching a 200mph convoy for 90 minutes tends to lack appeal. It’s a race which only assumes attraction, if attending in person. With someone else preferably paying the bills. Generally, whoever starts in front, stays in front and that’s it.

Oddly, the FTSE has prepared itself for Friday by slightly nudging to the front, hence our optimism.

 

Above 7020 points suggests the possibility of some useless growth toward an initial 7031 points. Hopefully the UK market doesn’t opt to spoil the day by choosing to open for trade around the 7031 level as this will tend dampen our expectations. Above 7031 could easily trigger ongoing recovery toward 7074 points with secondary, if exceeded, a less likely 7127 points.

If triggered, the tightest stop loss level looks like 6965 points.

The alternate scenario, if everything intends go pear shaped, demands the market weaken below 6950. This risks triggering a reversal cycle to an initial 6807 points. If broken, we’d hope the pattern would bottom at 6688 points.

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

#Dax_Futures #SP500 Similar to the International Space Station, lots of people appear to be watching out for this share making a movement. Unlike the space station, we’re still awaiting the share price to make a reliable movement whereas with orbiting space junk, you can step outside and see it pass, extremely reliably. Last night, for instance, popping out with a camera at 11.29pm gave a 6 minute viewing of the celestial object***. If only share price movements proved as reliable!

 

One aspect where we expect Amigo to prove useful comes with a straightforward scenario. Next time the share price manages to exceed 30.3p, we can calculate the potential of price recovery to an initial 43p. If exceeded, our secondary calculates at 55p. We’re inclined toward hope with this, due to the recent high of 30.3p being, from our perspective, arithmetically exact. When this sort of thing happens, there’s almost an inevitability as to what shall happen, next time such a target level is exceeded.

In other words, the price should go up.

Visually, our ambition of 55p also challenges the pre-Covid highs of February 2020, making some sort of hesitation very possible if such a level is achieved. One price movement certainly gave rise to curiosity as the plunge to 17.5p on May 11th felt quite contrived, creating a suspicion some shares needed a stop loss triggered to make them available. This incident of a 5p drop which recovered in minutes was certainly pretty vivid, again carrying a suggestion of a price getting ready to make a proper movement.

If wanting to play as safe as possible, waiting until the share price exceeds 31.75p to trigger ‘proper’ recovery is the current arithmetically correct level but our inclination is to expect the prior high of 30.3p making itself a trigger level. The price needs below 17.5p to give alarm, threatening reversal to 10.75p.

***A little caveat if intending to view the Space Station. Check for clouds! A potential 6 minute viewing can quickly evaporate into a brief glimpse of a moving light.

***Also, again our thanks to those who find the adverts google place on this page fascinating.

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.

#France #WallSt and Eon from Trends and Targets

Our weekly trip to discover which shares are being most heavily traded in Europe brought E.On to our attention. To be honest, we’d no idea the company was German based, for some reason assuming they were Spanish. A glance at their corporate website revealed a pretty thorough checklist of all the current “right on” terms. They’ve Diversity mentioned, Hydrogen, Fuel Cells, Digital, Sustainability, and of course Innovation. The word “Profitable” was also mentioned once, a daring departure from the norm. Most corporate entities seem to prefer a web presence where dangerous trigger words like ‘profit’ are avoided!

Presently trading around 10,5 Eur, the share price is starting to show some interesting potentials despite spending most of May trapped in the arms of boring. Needing only above 10.8 Eur, a trip toward an initial 11.29 looks pretty assured and confident. For some surprising reason, we’ve multiple calculations all pointing at such an ambition and the story doesn’t actually end there.

Our secondary calculation, should 11.29 be exceeded, works out at 13 Eur. In fact, it may even be 13.4 Euro, thanks to the circled gap on the chart tossing a spanner in the works. Yet again, something surprising occurs with this secondary ambition as yet again, we’ve multiple arguments favouring price recovery to such a level. For this sort of thing to occur once, when reviewing a share price, is pretty unusual and generally indicates a comfortable “no-brainer” expectation of movement to a target level. We’ve never experienced this twice, against the same share, both from Big Picture and Near Term calculations. Time will tell as we’ve no idea what the numbers are telling us…

 

We started by complained Eon share price has been pretty boring during May and the reason appears to be the Blue line on the chart. If we zoom out, viewing the Big Picture since 2014, considerable effort is being made (currently) to inhibit Eon from exploring above this level. (See the inset) As a result, anything now above 10.8 is liable to promote fairly fast and strong price recovery.

Many thanks to those folk who find the few adverts on this page interesting. Pays for our necessary coffee intake!
