Trends And Targets

#Brent #Dax

We truly did not anticipate the FTSE hitting our 7325 drop target on Friday. The 142 point reversal from trigger to target was made doubly worse, thanks to the FTSE closing marginally below our target at 7317 points. It begs the question, should we anticipate things falling further? Thanks to inflation figures, the markets are behaving really badly and we’re worried for the future.

Lloyds Bank is a case in point. When we reviewed the share price three weeks ago, our simple request of the share price stumbling above just 46.4p to bring happy times has proven quite curious. The share price has tickled the trigger level a couple of times, yet utterly failed to exceed 46.4p. Instead, peaking at 46.2p perhaps carries an implication of inherent weakness and now, perhaps Lloyds Bank share price is setting itself up for a bit of a thrashing. If this is the case, the wider behaviour of the markets on Friday must surely carry the expectation of those shares with a possible excuse for a hammering to discover an excuse to run themselves into a brick wall anytime soon.

Should this be the case, it’s entirely possible Lloyds shall be about to introduce some potential entry levels.

 

Currently, for Lloyds Banking Group, below 43p looks troubling, calculating as capable of provoking reversal to an initial 41.4p. There are difficulties in suggestion 41.4p shall be a profitable entry level as such a target also brings a “lower low”. Neither does such an ambition collide with the Red uptrend, making the prospect of a bounce unlikely.

In the event 41.4p breaks, our secondary is at 38.3p and again, this is a troubled target level. Obviously it breaks the Red uptrend and, less obviously, it gives the share price an opportunity to close a session below the March levels of the Russia low. In this instance, we’re inclined to produce a third level drop target, should 38.3p break. Apparently Lloyds risks a cascade effect and hopefully shall find itself above to bounce at 32.5p. We can also produce an “ultimate bottom” of 26.9p, this representing a level below which we cannot calculate.

 

On a brighter note, Lloyds still requires exceed 46.4p to suggest happy days ahead. Unfortunately, we’re starting to suspect the only way Lloyds share price shall grow in value is if the company opt to introduce a “Share Split”, for instance taking back 5 shares and issuing 1 share in their place. This method, to artificially inflate the share price, historically fails to impress the markets and will be unlikely to do investors any favours.

 

Finally, the Baku Grand Prix finally returned the sport to it’s “Most Favoured” status. Sunday saw a few interesting opening laps, then it got boring and permitted a nap, waking up to enjoy the last 4 laps. That’s what Sunday afternoon racing should be like, orderly racing with a chance of a snooze. And no stupid controversy!

#FTSE #Gold

There was a feeling of not hearing the news correctly. When the BBC mentioned the current UK PM has set out a plan for “benefit claimants to get mortgages”, deja vu and a memory of the financial crash of 2009 sprung to mind. Wasn’t the entire shambles caused by mortgages being given to folk who couldn’t afford to pay them?

The UK markets didn’t appear especially impressed anyway, the FTSE failing to even nod above its immediate plans to enjoy a day of misery. So instead, opting to spend the afternoon clearing out the shed felt like a better idea. This cunning plan took just a few minutes to be sidetracked!

 

Growing from the metal roof of the shed were three weird cocoons, each roughly the side of a golf ball. Returning to the office, a Google search revealed I’d probably had three Queen Wasps building nests, the cocoons destined to grow substantially when the residents matured. What really surprised was how many folk think the process to be fascinating, while the only thing really needed was finding to get rid of them. From the safety of the office, several plans were considered and discarded.

Firstly, Wasps Nest Powder was impossible as the product is designed to work on a “little stinging sod” factory with plenty of traffic.

Secondly, creating a flamethrower with a lit match and hairspray was out of the question. The shed has rather a lot of flammable contents.

Third, attaching a wire brush to a long pole felt like a good idea. I slid the door open and aggressively assaulted the largest cocoon. Alas, it transpired the largest wasp I’ve ever seen was in residence. While the thing didn’t quite grab the brush and attack me, it was considering it. Retreat, sliding the doors shut was the only option. A few minutes later, a used can of Raid Wasp Spray was thrown in the doors, sticky tape holding the spray down while the thing hissed like a frantic smoke grenade. After a reasonable timeframe, the forty point drop on the FTSE between 3 and 4pm, the shed doors were opened and the building left to air itself. By 5pm, sufficient courage was generated to squish the other two cocoons, neither of which disgorged a furious mummy wasp. One facet of wasp research was interesting. Only the female wasp stings and she does, frequently.

 

The FTSE spent Thursday stinging investors  but we’d a sneaking suspicion some recovery can be hoped for on Friday. At least, we had until the US markets threw a wobbly on Thursday evening, the DOW losing 500 points with indecent haste.  Currently, it appears above 7510 points should trigger some proper movement for the UK as an impressive lunge toward 7570 calculates as possible. If exceeded, our secondary works out at a less confident looking 7627 points. To be honest, we’re less confident about our secondary, due to the fascination shown by the FTSE at 7600 points in the last week and we shall not be aghast if the index once again decides to close a session around such a level.

Rather more key, for the longer term, is the Blue trend line on the chart. Presently, the FTSE needs close a session above 7667 to suggest an effort to break free from the current hiatus is possible but, to be fair, even a nod above the recent high of 7649 should give early warning for happy days ahead.

Our alternate scenario, if things decide to go pear shaped, comes should the FTSE manage below 7467 points – and NOT with an opening second downward spike. Such movement looks especially troubling, suggesting ongoing weakness to an initial 7409 points with secondary, if broken, at a bottom of 7325 points.

XE:SGL #Brent #WallSt

The carbon fibre industry is fascinating, due to the sheer mass of applications in which this amazing product finds itself. For most of us, the only frequent reminder are Formula1 commentators moaning about how long it takes track marshals to brush carbon fibre away, following a race track incident. In reality, whether it’s aircraft, wind turbines, building insulation, prosthetic limbs, or even Lithium-Ion batteries, both carbon and graphite are found. Someone once described carbon as “the duct tape of life”, a pretty fair description.

The company SGL are one of the biggies in the field with 31 locations worldwide. Back in the 1990’s, they even gained notoriety as a ringleader in a cartel which controlled supply and prices of carbon to the North American markets! However, nowadays, we’d be more inclined to congratulate their good taste in having a manufacturing facility in Muir of Ord in the Scottish Highlands, a convenient jumping off point for everywhere interesting in the north.

 

Our weekly trawl of European traded shares which look interesting revealed something potentially positive for SGL.

Currently, trades above 7.4€ should provoke further price recovery to an initial 8.2 euro. This is where things have the potential to trigger a change in the share price’ fortunes. Closure above 8.2 will place the price above the merciless Blue downtrend since 2012. Such a movement should prove sufficient for an attempt at 11.2€ initially, along with some almost certain hesitation due to prior highs. However, should 11.2 be exceeded, we can plan for a longer term 14.8€, along with a need to once again review the share price future.

For everything to go horribly wrong, the price needs crash below 4.85. Should such a tragedy occur, goodness knows how many race marshals shall be needed to brush up the mess…

LSE:BLVN #FTSE #SP500)

Sometimes, when an AIM share makes a spectacular jump, it will quickly mimic our unwanted cat. The animals food bowl is in the kitchen, safely above opportunistic dog levels. To get to her food, she steps onto a footstool, then jumps to “her” feeding area. Sometimes when not paying attention, she fails to make the last few inches, her claws scraping the cupboard door as she slides to ground level with furious indignity.

Thankfully, Bowleven share price doesn’t appear determined to mimic the cat. We’ve been flooded with emails, due to the shares flamboyant Tuesday. Presumably they’ve released some good news to the marketplace, something which justifies real movement. We hope!

 

To get the bad news out of the way immediately, the price needs relax below 3.2p before we’d experience concerns for the future. And by relax, we mean ‘close a session’ below 3.2p, the level at which the share broke through the Blue downtrend since 2019.

 

However, the share price has now closed a session above the Blue downtrend and, perhaps more importantly, has also closed higher than its previous high in March. Despite “only” closing the session at 4.75p, it has officially entered the realms of “higher highs” and therefore, optimism is justified. From a near term perspective, should it trade above just 5.3p, we’ve a pretty weak argument favouring ongoing price recovery to 7.1p next. In the normal scheme of events, we’d propose a “safe” trigger level above Tuesdays 6.25p but when we review what actually happened after this initial high was achieved, it seems 5.3p can be nominated as the next growth trigger.

Above 7.1p and things start to become a little strange, due to a collection of quite strong recovery potentials.

Our secondary target calculates at 11.1p, an ambition which makes quite a lot of visual sense as there’s even the impression of a glass ceiling waiting in the future distance. We can even provide a 3rd level ambition, should the share price manage to actually CLOSE a session above 7.1p in the future. In this scenario, we can politely mention 15p. To be fair, we rarely produce a report where we give the potential of a share price trebling but in this instance, it’s difficult not to mention the potentials.

Hopefully the company avoid shooting themselves in the foot.

#Gold #WallSt

To be honest, it was easy to completely forget about the little boxes which plugged into a phone socket, routing outbound calls to cheaper providers than British Telecom. This was back in the late 1990’s, when BT tended treat innovation as a nuisance and sometimes, even behaved as if this new fangled Broadband was inconvenient. It transpires TelecomPlus were behind the Smart Box, now rebranded as Utility Warehouse.

It’s quite nice to realise an innovator not only survived but has actually flourished in the period since. Currently trading around 1720p, the shares could be picked up for 62p back in 2002. Also interesting to note is our favourite source of salacious gossip for shares, Wikipedia, is devoid of any juicy information. We picked up an accurate summary of Telecom Plus activities from their “About Us” page (below), giving more information than Wikipedia achieves!

Currently, something quite interesting is happening with LSE:TEP share price as it’s achieving higher highs than any point since 2014. Perhaps more importantly, there was some sort of Glass Ceiling vaguelly around the 15.50 quid level and the share appears desperate to leave it being. Now above 1724p calculates with the potential of price growth to an initial 1870p, a point at which we’d suspect some hesitation. Unfortunately, there’s an argument developing against the potentials, should such a level be exceeded.

Above 1870p, certainly presents a secondary target of a nice round 2000p. However, if our 15.50 quid Glass Ceiling argument is valid, the share price could simply continue acceleration to a longer term 2340p.

We’re pretty optimistic against this one and it needs below 1460p to foul our calculations for the future.

#Brent #CAC40

(LSE:BARC) When we previously reviewed #Barclays, we’d a thing about 140p, giving grave warnings should such a level break. Thankfully, the share price has avoided such a trigger level like a politician avoiding the truth, carefully skirting around it. Hopefully this is final confirmation some residual value is seen in the bank share price, despite its horrific behaviour since dinosaurs ruled the earth.

This, of course, logically brings us to ‘Jurassic World Dominion’, due in UK cinemas this week. A neighbour is visiting Los Angeles and blagged his way into a special early screening last week. His take appears quite straightforward, deeming it worth going to a cinema to see as the original gang are back together again. Perhaps this, coupled with another few recent major titles, shall contribute to cinema chain share prices showing some solid recovery.

 

Barclays share price is certainly showing potentials, almost presenting itself as pretty close to a sure thing. Of course, given we are discussing a retail bank and thus, it must be remembered there’s no such thing as a “sure thing” where a UK bank is concerned. It was amusing reading some notes on profitability, realising the 3rd most profitable part of Barclays is based in Luxemburg, an office with just 54 staff members and potentially a branch where income is legally diverted to avoid paying UK taxes. The story had a certain whiff of the bank taking careful aim at their own share price, once again!

For now, above 174p should trigger confident price movement to an initial 188p with secondary, if exceeded, now calculating at 204p. To spoil such a party, the share needs break below 161p as this would utterly foul our calculations.

Hopefully, movement to our 188p target level comes quicker than the August Bank Holiday which currently feels like a very distant hope.

The other day, news broke that the woman who wrote “How To Murder Your Husband!” had been arrested, for murdering her husband. Perhaps someone at Tullow has a similar cunning plan, albeit perhaps too late, and will produce a book called “How To Murder A Share Price!”. From a high of 16 quid in 2012 to a low of 7.5p in 2020 took a special sort of management skill.

Thankfully, Wikipedia host a page which covers Tullows exploits and misfortunes in fascinating detail, the sum total of which indicates doing business in Africa is difficult and relying on the UK Government for help may perhaps become an error. It even gives mention to “Government figures were embroiled in the nexus of money and power fuelling climate change include William Hague, George Osborne, Michael Gove, Oliver Letwin, Vince Cable and Prime Minister David Cameron himself. Both William Hague and Michael Gove were said to have connections to Tullow”… Surprisingly, there’s no mention of the current UK PM.

The above screenshot is from their “About Us” page, surely suggesting the company must enjoy a strong base, a solid level from which the company share price almost must exhibit some recovery given what’s happening with Oil and Gas prices world wide? Unfortunately, at present there’s very little hope being displayed by recent price movements and perhaps investors feel understandably nervous, due to the company track record.

Presently trading around 55p, the share price requires exceed 61.5p to exceed Blue on the chart, a downtrend since 2019 which we feel shall prove relevant to the future. Movement above this line looks extremely capable of triggering recovery to an initial 69 with secondary, if bettered, at a comfortable looking 71.5p. We’ve a collection of different indicators, all giving the 71p level as a key target level, one which should prove game changing for the longer term, if the share price manages to close above 71p.

For now, there appears a slight issue, should the price discover an excuse to ignore world events and slump below 52p. This is potentially nasty, risking a visit to an initial 48p with secondary, if broken, at a hopeful bottom of 38p.

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.
