Trends And Targets

#DAX_Futures #SP500_Futures While we enjoy Caribbean skies here in Argyll (but with Arctic temperatures) our thoughts turned to Bahamas Petroleum, a company who operate in some of the most desirable holiday destinations with a range of offshore exploration, appraisal, development and production assets and licences. They even operate on the land in Trinidad. Their share price has behaved badly over the last 5 years, now trading in a zone where we cannot calculate a bottom.

The important thing is, the share remains trading and perhaps the current upward volatility in the price of crude shall finally extend some grace to Bahama’s price movements. The share price has been trading at a pretty accurate bottom level just above 0.4p since February. While there has not been a convincing bounce, we are impressed at the effort employed to keep the share trading above 0.4p, hopefully an attempt to avoid creating an ‘Elvis has left the Building’ moment.

 

All we ask is for the price to almost double from current (0.525) as this should justify close attention, thanks to some strong acceleration potentials. Above 0.91p should prove capable of triggering recovery to an initial 1.37 with secondary, if exceeded, at 2.31p. At this level, things certainly have the opportunity to become exciting as arithmetically, the shares highs of 10 years ago could easily provoke strong growth, especially if price acceleration occurs due to positive news flow from the company. We’ve shown the various target levels on the chart, absolutely none of which appear viable currently but with closure above 0.91p, this ‘risks’ entering a cycle with 14p as an attractive eventual point of interest.

Obviously, we’re biased as we love the Bahama’s or indeed, anywhere warmer than Scotland at present.

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

#CAC40 #NK225 For some reason, our local petrol station attracts a diverse range of staff with surprising interests. The mental scars from making a mistake, asking “what you’re reading” revealed a lady hooked on ‘literary’ porn since buying “Shades of Grey”. She could – and did – talk about it relentlessly. One of the guys recently asked “what do you think of Zoomedica? (AMEX:ZOM) They’re a US company, specialising in diagnostics for animals. His girlfriend came across them while viewing something called ‘The Tiger King’. It was certainly clever product placement as the chap opted to buy shares at around the $2.2 level. Somehow or other, I remembered to run the numbers against the share and next time in the shop, reported the bad news it looked like reversing to $0.84. Thankfully, he’d not taken a heavy investment and the conversation (and share) was forgotten.

A few minutes ago, popping in to refuel, the guy was on duty, itching to report his holding was now worth less than half and how the heck could I know a company, previously never heard of, in a different continent, was going to suffer so badly in the months ahead. The App on his phone was reporting Zoomedica as trading at $0.83 dollars while we were talking and he was both impressed and quite agitated, still to learn to adopt stoic behaviour when trading the market. The lies we tell ourselves, “It’s a long term hold”, “it was just playtime money”, and the classic “guys on the internet say the company is about to release important news. Just wait!”, were doubtless queuing in his brain. Perhaps the real world experience of being caught up in hype from an internet chatroom (Reddit) providing the only research carried out will make the experience a cheap lesson. Who knows, there may even be a miracle in the offing as there’s a strong reason to anticipate a bounce around the current level. Any bounce capable of exceeding $1.60 will force a hard look at the share and we may even cover it here, due to the potential of a longer term $4.3 making an appearance.

 

This, of course, has absolutely nothing to do with BT Group, other than illustrate an example of us running analysis, then putting it out of our minds. We last reviewed BT Group 2 years ago (link) on 9th April 2019. It was trading around 223p, our report gave criteria for reversal to 99p. Despite checking BT daily for clients, we’d completely forgotten our public report and discovered the share price indeed hit our target last year, bouncing in the most lacklustre fashion in the period since. Our inclination is now toward some optimism for the future thanks to the share price now breaking through the five year downtrend and attempting to paint a series of higher highs.

The immediate situation with BT is fairly straightforward, the share price (presently trading around 153p) needing exceed 158p as this should trigger some price growth to an initial 176p. If exceeded, our longer term secondary is a bit confusing. It’s either 182p or 200p depending on which series of calculations we believe. Essentially, should 176p be exceeded in the course of normal trading, ongoing traffic to 182p makes sense. However, should 176p be exceeded thanks to some positive news, the share price could sharply accelerate to 200p. It’s pretty unusual to face this type of numeric calamity and it’s thanks to the share price opting to remain fascinated with the 99p level for six months last year.

Visually, there’s a pretty strong argument favouring some hesitation, if the 200p level ever makes an appearance and we’d certainly prefer running the numbers again at such a point.

Finally, if BT decides to dial the wrong number, below 99p risks trauma with a probable visit to 86p, a short lived bounce, then a visit to 42p as the ultimate bottom we can calculate. Needless to say, we’ve already forgotten that secondary ambition!

*** It’s easy to suspect our article on Argo for Tuesday didn’t impress the folk who’ve been finding the adverts on this page interesting. Perhaps BT will ring the right bells!

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

#Gold #WallSt_Futures This one has proven a surprise. When we last reviewed the share back in January this year, we’d given our usual two drop criteria. Our initial target was hit and broken, the secondary drop target remained untroubled with the share bouncing 11p above. Then the fairy story commenced with the share confidently triggering and exceeding all three of our growth target levels. We even used the technical term; ‘if things go nuts’ in describing the potentials.

Our third level target was given as 149p and we’ve even circled it on the chart below.

 

Something funny happened!

 

We’d a pretty solid reason to anticipate some hesitation at the 149p level. There are times when we warn folk to watch out for the market opting to gap a share price up and in this example, the reason for the warning is pretty evident.  On February 15th, when the market chose to neatly gap (manipulate) the share price above our target, sending a pretty strong indication plans for further upward price movement were intended. At that particular point in time, the highest number we could calculate was 149p, leaving us clueless as to the final destination. Eventually topping out at 332p, the price is now starting to make a degree of sense, doubtless due to the reality of enjoying a trading history.

Legend has it ‘Gaps’ in share price movements are generally covered with a share experiencing sharp reversals to the level of whatever manipulation gap is being chased. In the case of Argo, it was gapped UP from 143p in 15th Feb, the price neatly covering the gap with reversals on Monday 19 April. As a result, a bunch of folk are probably expecting a rebound from current levels, due to the ‘gap being filled’. Unfortunately, there is no requirement for these share price gaps to be covered and the harsh reality is, most of them are not.

But sometimes, if sufficient people believe a story, there can be a mass of buying pressure in the following session which in itself provokes a bounce. In the case of Argo, any bounce needs exceed 180p before we can take it seriously. Instead, we suspect some pain awaits for holders in the immediate future.

With traffic below 132p, we calculate the potential for reversal to an initial 120p. If broken, our secondary works out at 92p and hopefully a proper bounce. We can provide an ultimate drop level of 63p, this being the point we can no longer compute below. The visuals with 63p, given the level of previous lows indicate the potential for a proper bounce. We’re obviously far from happy discussing a scenario where the share price risks more than halving but the share has become dangerous. For the cautious, perhaps worth keeping a weather eye on it, just in case 63p makes a guest appearance in the weeks ahead.

 

We mentioned previously any bounce currently needs exceed 180p to be taken seriously. This will bring the share price back above Red on the chart, regaining the immediate uptrend. As a result, we can calculate an initial target of 222p with secondary, if exceeded, a more attractive sounding 259p. Once again, if the price “goes nuts”, we shall give a third target level and this time it’s at 337p.

It’s truly pleasing, knowing folk read this far down and still find time to view the adverts on the page. Definitely buys the coffee, so thanks yet again.

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

Barclays Plc (LSE:BARC) Optimism spring’s from funny places. In the case of Barclays, we’re now officially positive for the share price future, due to a movement of 4/100ths of a penny! The sensible part of the brain is firmly in favour of sanity, our software has quite different ideas, now opting to colour Barclays a cheerful Blue to indicate the price has achieved a Higher High after breaking a downtrend and, frankly, being pretty boring for the last 3 weeks.

It can be assumed our software is easily impressed but the surprising thing is, it’s rarely wrong with this sort of thing. Barclays breakout closing price High was 189.14p and the share managed to close the day on Friday at 189.18p. This tiny little change was sufficient to trigger the change shown below, a switch from non-committal black text to exciting blue text, a visual cue something truly unusual happened with a UK Retail Bank.

Warning: Technical Guff Ahead. By 4/100ths of a penny, we’re now tasked with providing an analysis which will have readers on the edge of their seats, positively drooling at the prospect of happy days ahead. Due to previous recovery models, built  following movements in US and German markets, we’re actually inclined to take our software’s giddy behaviour seriously. We obviously wrote the software, it doesn’t have magical powers but currently employs several hundred formula against which each price movement is measured.  For those who’ve ever fallen down Spreadsheet Macro wormholes, it’s effectively a rather complex “If THIS, then do THAT. Else if THAT, then do THIS” series of equations. For this particular moment of share price recovery, we’re forced to compare “what happened next” with the immediate situation at Barclays, then extrapolate forward the potentials for the future.

Please remember, this is due to a 4/100ths of a penny trigger movement. Perhaps the equivalent of that bloke on the Titanic bridge who saw a flake of snow and was told to ignore it! Had they paid attention, we’d be spared a terrible film and terrible soundtrack.

So, now we’ve run out of excuses to delay, optimism now suggests continued recovery above 191p for Barclays Plc faces share price movement to an initial 240p. With closure above 240p, our software tells us to expect a longer term 288p. We do have a little ‘sanity clause’ suggesting the long term trade potential can only be marked “safe”, once the share price is actually trading above 198p. This formula is one of these ‘belt & braces’ things, where we attempt to define the point beyond which something becomes inevitable. For it all to go wrong for Barclays, the share price needs founder below 140p, a concept which is visually unlikely but in todays world, who knows.

This certainly shall provide a wide and sane stop loss level for anyone trying a Long term position.

 

The date today is 19th April 2021 and will be remembered as; “On This Day In History, Trends & Targets Expressed Optimism About A UK Retail Bank!”

#Dax_Futures #Nasdaq A constant in USA produced films and TV series deals with corruption in “big pharma”, entire corporations dedicated apparently to keeping people addicted to their drugs, the price of which is constantly increased. For a short while, something new was available, a product called CBD Oil which was derived from part of the cannabis plant. While offering absolutely no psychotropic effect, CBD Oil proved amazing for many people, not least when alleviating the nastier side effects of chemotherapy.

In the UK, enterprising souls started importing the oil, selling it via eBay & Amazon until, of course, the UK Government stepped in. A few retailers still attempt to sell products called CBD Oil but as they’re derived from the hemp plant, there is absolutely no medicinal benefit. The UK Govt reasoning was allegedly due to ‘health reasons’, an argument which foundered slightly when it was revealed the then Prime Minister (Mrs May) had a husband who was investing in cannabis farms for the long term. The suspicion the UK ban was simply enacted to give pharma suppliers a chance to both catch up and monopolise the new product now appears justified, MGC Pharma being a new listing on the London exchange and similar to “Cellular Goods”, offering cannabis derived medications as UK regulations are relaxed to enable supply once again.

While this all may read as a bit “conspiracy theory”, personal experience with CBD Oil some years ago ensured a high degree of annoyance at it not being legally available, when enduring chemotherapy during 2019 & 2020.

A new listing to London, MGC are already listed on the Australian exchange, showing a relatively stable history for the last few years. Their website delineates some global ambitions and there’s little doubt the listing in London has provoked some interest in the share price future. Currently trading around 3.6p, the share price need only better 4.9p to tick a pretty major box in a tier of calculations which allows price movement to an initial 7.4p. If exceeded, our secondary longer term calculation works out at 10.5p. Surprisingly, we not if similar logic is applied to their Australian listing, this permits a high at 0.21 Au Dollars.

At present, we cannot comfortably calculate beyond either secondary level and believe we shall require to revisit the company, should such targets make an appearance.

 

As always, there’s a risk of a downside. Currently, it looks possible weakness below 3.4p risks driving the price back to 2.6p. We cannot calculate anything below such a level and would expect a rebound, if such a number ever appears.

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

#FTSE #CAC40  Fairytales used to start with the sentence; “Once Upon A Time” but nowadays, it appears; “If I Am Elected…” is more descriptive. Many shares appear to have suffered pain from the Brexit decision with Tesco a fully paid up member of the fraternity. As the chart below highlights, since the 2016 Brexit vote the share price has stagnated but we’re perhaps seeing early signs things may be about to change, hopefully for the better.

Unfortunately, Tesco are not currently showing early signs of immediate hope but when we glance at the encompassing Food & Drug Retailers Index, there’s a pretty strong impression given for some imminent gains amongst its members. Thanks to a revamp of sector codes and data in the middle of March, there’s a slight danger of reading the tea leaves incorrectly but we’re hopeful this shall not be the case. Long story short, we can argue for sector gains of around 10% anytime soon. If we opt to embrace our “inner gullible”, we should also advocate longer term gains of around 25%, taking the sector to highs not seen since 2008.

The long and the short of this particular fairy story is we suggest keeping an eye on Tesco share price.

 

Presently trading around 232p, the share need only exceed 237p to regain clear air above Blue, a downtrend which dates back 10 years. This should prove fairly significant, calculating with the potential of near term gains in the direction of 242p. Usually, regaining a position above a prior downtrend will prove important, allowing a share price to blossom quite firmly. In the case of Tesco, only with closure above 242p shall be feel justified in promoting the concept of future gains in the direction of 295p. Arithmetically, there are plenty of reasons to anticipate some hesitation as the price makes its way up the aisle.

When we look for viable warning signs for things going wrong with Tesco, it appears the share now needs trade below 218p to cause a slight flutter in our confidence. A triggering movement such as this threatens reversal toward 190p and hopefully a rebound. The consequences below such a level are far from pleasant. If opting to take a “Fire & Forget” Long position, somewhere just below 218p would currently make an excellent stop loss level.

 

***Yet again, many thanks to those folk who find the adverts on this page irresistible.

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.
