Trends And Targets

#Gold #Nasdaq We’ve long been devotees of ‘fuel cell technology’, firmly adhering to the belief the current fad for rechargeable vehicles shall prove an error until such time battery wizardry catches up with real world demands. The recent boast by Range Rover, promoting their coming all electric offering, brought a fairly major question mark. How far will it pull a horse box on a single charge? This is one of the issues electric vehicles will face, an issue which cannot yet be resolved as towing a weight completely stuffs the potential driving distance.

Fuel Cell technology, on the other hand, allows the drive train to be electric, just needing to snort some hydrogen or even natural gas from the mains to once again produce copious levels of electricity. Rather amusingly, Ceres boast efficiency levels of up to 90%, if their system is used for heating water. Immediately, a mental picture of a return to steam trains emerged, the water condensed by fuel cell rather than coal!

 

Sooner or later, we suspect a major manufacturer or builder shall adopt this technology as the energy savings are impressive, along with massive reductions to CO2 emissions and other pollutants virtually eliminated. Obviously, such adoption should prove game changing for a company such as Ceres, already enjoying a a 7 fold increase in their share price during the last 12 months.

 

Of course, our interest in this lots potentials also has a further tantalising starting point. As the chart below shows, back at the initial share launch, the price experienced the usual overhyped trajectory, long term true believers who bought into the frenzy finding themselves trapped for a prolonged period. It’s truly unusual to be able to offer hope to those unfortunates but in the case of Ceres, there are some quite surprising calculations available. Despite the 10:1 share consolidation in 2018, the highs in January this year of above 16 quid fascinated us. We’d calculated a best case scenario of 1440p, the share exhibiting sufficient strength to exceed this level.

Presently trading around 1220p, the price now needs exceed 1290 to trigger initial growth to 1508p with secondary, if exceeded, coming in at 1792p. This secondary is liable to prove a big deal for the longer term, hopefully allowing the share price to close at a higher high, along with closing above the Blue downtrend since 2008. In such a scenario, we shall require revisit the numbers but amazingly, we can currently mention the Big Picture gives a ruling “maximum” target of 4750p. This impressive number makes us understandably nervous but should Ceres start trading above Blue on the chart, strong potentials become possible.

We’d be very nervous if any excuse is found to reverse the price below March’s 960p as it risks triggering a reversal cycle toward 453p. This appears to be a share worthy of some research.

Once again, many thanks to those who clicked on interesting adverts on this page. It’s like being bought a coffee, unexpectedly!

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

 

#BrentCrude #Dax Boasting about receiving the 2nd Covid jag, without any immediate side effects proved silly. The administering doctor suggests a mild flu could be expected, potentially lasting 48 hours. She failed to warn the ‘mild flu’ would commence, only once the weekend commenced! Needless to say, now there’s a need to write something useful about Lloyds Group, the ‘mild flu’ has eased considerably but it’s easy to question how spiteful the drug side effects have been. In honesty, such has been the chaos of weather here in Argyll, the weekend was best spent indoors rather that outside enjoying temperatures as low as -5c, along with ninja snow blizzards sweeping down the valley.

ps, many thanks to the folk who clicked on adverts on Friday. Wow!

 

Since we last covered Lloyds, the share price has exceeded the magical 42p trigger level and it’s supposed to be going up. Similar to our mild flu, movements are slow but surely things must speed up anytime soon. Presently trading around 43.2, the share price  need only better 43.8p to once again hint at the potential for recovery. Unfortunately the pace of growth is proving slightly worrisome as above 43.8p calculates with the potential of an initial 47.7p, slightly lower than our previous expectation of 50p as a “breakout” target level.

The better news comes if 47.7p is exceeded, thanks to our longer term potential of 55p remaining an intact ambition. We remain with some real concerns about the 55p level as our in-house rules almost demand volatility at such a point. It shall be interesting, should the market commence gapping (manipulating) Lloyds Bank share price up at the open of trade anytime soon. This will strongly suggest someone else has done their homework and the stock market intends avoid the banking sector opting to park itself at share price levels below the pre-pandemic highs.

For panic to ensue, Lloyds still needs fail below 36p, risking a sharp 10p drop and a hopeful bounce. Visually, this looks unlikely.

 

Sorry this report was short and sharp. This thing called ‘mild flu’ has tended stifle any inspiration…

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

#SP500 #FreeGoldFutures To generate extra income, we’ve adverts on the front page of our website in the vague hope someone is kind enough to click on them. Needless to say, there is a definite bias in favour of stock market trading commercials. Something quite odd occurred, when we review the last 30 days. The usual countries are at the top for the (small) revenue stream (UK, Guernsey, US, and Australia) but out of nowhere, Myanmar (Burma) appears on the list. Even in the middle of a rather nasty revolution, folk still take the time to read our stuff!

Here in the UK, the FTSE looks like it’s at the start of its own little revolution. Don’t get us wrong, the UK market remains revolting but some hope is becoming evident as the index only needs gain another 8% to challenge the level of the pre-Covid19 highs, around 7,500 points. If we opt to use France and the CAC40 as a model, when this index decided to confirm it was heading north, it messed around for about 10 sessions with a very tight trading range. Suddenly, it developed some faith in itself and made the required lunge toward the pre-Covid level in just 7 sessions.

If this French model proves correct, we should doubtless anticipate the FTSE messing around for the next few weeks, the market oscillating between the 6,800 level and below the 7,000 mark until such time an excuse is discovered to break free. There’s a fairly large “however”, thanks to the UK being one of the last markets to challenge pre-pandemic highs and as a result, the FTSE may opt to behave like a duckling realising it has dithered too far from its flock, moving like the clappers to suddenly catch up. We can certainly hope but there is something else worthy of consideration.

Since the Pandemic drop in March 2020, we’ve become considerably less reliant on downtrends and uptrends. Once upon a time, these indicators proved fairly reliable when gauging market direction but now, we’re forced to pay even more attention to our software calculations, thanks to a break of a trend no longer being a safe indicator of what’s coming. Of course, the media are spoiled for choice when attempting to pick stories from the tree of misery and we suspect the next four weeks shall provide a further excuse for terrors. In addition to Covid, Brexit, Northern Ireland, the added spectre of Scottish independence looks certain rear its head, due to Mr Salmond opting to contest Scottish elections at the start of May. His new “Alba” (Gaelic for Scotland) Party challenges the existing SNP in quite a clever way, potentially making Mr Salmonds independence agenda a priority while making Nicola Sturgeons “woke” agenda a bit of a joke. Following his acquittal in court, even the Scottish media now concede it was curious how the accusers came from Sturgeons inner circle, despite police efforts in interviewing nearly 900 women.

Frankly, we doubt ‘fear driven reversals’ shall prove to be the case as London has tended ignore the rest of the world fairly conclusively since March 2020. Maybe it’s a Brexit thing but we’re hesitant to think the FTSE shall suddenly opt to become logical! There is one interesting number at 7,160 points. Should London exceed such a point, strong upward movement becomes almost impossible to avoid due to the Big Picture currently painting a long term target around the 8,000 point level. Certainly, as someone who received their 2nd Covid-19 vaccine on Thursday, the attraction of normality in the future has already provoked a distinct change of mood. (The immediate side effects could best be described as a mild hangover, if anyone is interested.)

FTSE for FRIDAY

As for Friday and the FTSE,  above 6945 looks capable of movement to an initial tame 6960 points. If exceeded, our secondary calculates at 7003 points but amazingly, we can concede the longer term ruling attraction is allegedly at 7,113 points. This is rather close to the important trigger level mentioned in the previous paragraph. Importantly, we do not anticipate such movement occurring within a single day – or even a week – given the pace of travel recently. We should also mention some volatility is expected, when (if) the 7,100 level makes an appearance.

 

Our alternate scenario for the FTSE feels less comfortable, indicating the market requires break below 6870 to justify concerns. At present, this calculates with the potential of reversal to an initial 6,840 points with secondary, if broken, at 6,790 points. A word of warning is “caution”. Now the UK market is attempting recovery, it is very possible reversals shall underperform and fail to meet drop targets.

Have a good weekend, hopefully above freezing and without snow and rain. Here in Scotland, the term ‘4 Seasons in One Day’ has mutated into ‘4 Seasons in One Dog Walk’.

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

#FTSE #DOW Despite internet chatrooms being awash with speculation regarding Covid19 protection and LSE:RMS, we suspect the company are missing a trick with Easter Eggs. For instance, in our home, had an alarm system been placed on a “Twirl” chocolate egg, there’s an excellent chance the person who ate the entire thing at 1am would have been caught. Instead, visiting grandchildren were assured they’d simply miscounted the following morning, when interrogating the adults.

Even at the time, it was quite amusing.

‘I’ll have just a bit of the chocolate’ morphed into ‘Modern eggs don’t break into equal half’s, this is awkward’ to finally, ‘I’ve eaten more than half. Better finish it and bin the evidence’.

Thankfully, sufficient confectionary had been purchased to ensure the girls would be taking eggs home, doubtless to be discretely misplaced by their paranoid mother. But we blame the lack of an egg alarm on the market for allowing the theft to even take place.

 

While internet speculation focuses on links between Remote Monitored Systems and such things as Covid destroying masks, a glance at the company website front page makes no mention of such a product but something doubtless provoked the 20%+ gain in share price on Wednesday. From our perspective, RMS are worth some attention, thanks to the share price dropping to 1.15p in December. When we previously reviewed the share, we’d speculated on 1.15p as a potential bottom, a level from which a bounce was hoped. The price exactly hit our target, bouncing to 3.55p thereafter. This suggests it plays be our rules with the result it’s probably worth updating our thoughts.

Movement next above 2.2p calculates with an initial tame target of 2.44p. But should such a level be exceeded, our secondary is vague, to say the least. Above 2.44p can easily bring 3p with a caveat. If such recovery is driven by positive news, the share price could easily accelerate to 4.9p. Above such a level shall prove game changing for the longer term, taking the price into a zone where we dare not currently offer any calculations.

Conversely, we’d panic a little if the share dropped below 1.5p as it enters a cycle where ultimate bottom at 0.87p works out as possible.

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

Unilever Plc (LSE:ULVR) The name behind an impressive number of brands appears to have a sweet tooth. Their Food & Drink division in the UK is biased toward ice creams, making us wonder if the stress of Covid-19 increased comfort eating to levels which will reflect on their accounts. Eight household name ice cream brands tempt, amongst a rather more mundane shopping trolley of famous names such as Knorr, Bovril, Pot Noodle and inevitably, the dreadful product, Marmite.

The company share price has achieved something quite rare amongst FTSE 100 components, breaking above its pre-Covid level of 47 quid, flourishing for a few months, and now sinking once again below this price level. It’s quite surprising behaviour but when we zoom out, it’s broadly in line with the share prices level of hesitation since 2017. Essentially, the share price has been pivoting above and below the 4,500p level with many in the market doubtless convincing themselves Unilever has a “floor” around 4,000p. We’re not certain this is graven in rock anywhere, perhaps in ice cream. As a result, future closure below 4,000p is liable to see the share price melt.

Reversal such as this risks triggering weakness to an initial 3,608p. Visually, given the level achieved during “The Covid Bottom” of March 2020, there’s a strong argument favouring a bounce if such a target appears but we shall worry, should the price find an excuse to break the 3,600 level. In such a scenario, we can calculate a further secondary drop target of 3,068p. The visuals alone tend suggest a very real risk of the share moving down to a new trading range, potentially between the £30 level and the previous £40 level.

 

As always, we can offer an alternate scenario. Should the share price find sufficient strength to exceed 4,130p, recovery to an initial 4,323 works out as possible with secondary, if exceeded, a more useful 4,939p and some hesitation.

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

#BrentCrude #SP500  We keep stumbling across references to Rolls Royce and electricity. From cunning plans to power cities, using small nuclear reactors, to the news they intend fly a light aircraft above 300mph, creating a new world record, pretty clear signals are being given of a coming attempt to expand beyond dependence on large aircraft engines. The funny thing about their revolutionary light aircraft, it has a passing resemblance to the original Supermarine Spitfire, testament a 80 year old airframe design didn’t miss the mark!

 

Of course, those of us who’d been expecting flying cars by now remain disappointed at the lack of progress from an industry where aerodynamics peaked and now, we’re forced to await changes in propulsion technology, surely the reason Rolls Royce are in business.

 

As expected, the company announced massive losses for 2020, the pandemic stifling any demand from a grounded aviation industry. As Rolls Royce don’t actually sell engines to the aviation industry, the pandemic hit hard. The clever plan of leasing engines to operators worked well when Rolls Royce could charge when their engines were being used. But with air travel effectively grounded, Rolls Royce lost its major income stream as they only were paid for every hour their engines were in use. Doubtless, with a return to normality, Rolls Royce shall again find dollar signs flowing out of the taps at their Derby offices.

In terms of share price, since February we’ve been expecting Rolls Royce to bottom around 82p, a number which has assumed magical qualities and remained utterly invisible. Instead, the lowest achieved has been around 100p and we’re starting to suspect some real strength may be waiting below the surface. This being the case, we can assemble a scenario where near term movement above 110p should promote price recovery toward a fairly useful 130p. Visually, there’s a heck of an argument anticipating some hesitation, should the 130p level make an appearance. Only with closure above the 130p shall we feel justified in expressing hope for the longer term as a complex path toward 204p becomes possible.

This, unfortunately, represents a target of a 1/3rd of Rolls Royce pre-pandemic price, suggesting the share has a long way to go to promote the concept of miracle growth. Visually, the price needs close above the immediate Blue downtrend, currently 290p, to hint at the presence of true climbing ability. We think Rolls Royce shall merit close attention, should the market find reason to start “gapping” the price up at the open. Any initiative such as this is liable to make the share move faster than price behaviour for this year indicates.

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.

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

#FTSE #GOLD It seems apt to cover Natwest in this, our final analysis before Easter. After all, the whole festival is dedicated to the concept of rising from the dead with the result a hard look at a UK retail bank makes some sense. It’s certainly the case, from our previous report, if a stone is indeed being wheeled away from impeding Natwest rise from the grave, the process is proving exquisitely slow despite the potential of resurrection being triggered!

 

When we last covered Natwest, we were fairly comfortable a nudge beyond 194p should produce share price recovery to 211p. Earlier this month on March 19th, the magical triggering move happened and in the intervening period, the highest achievement for Natwest has been a pretty lame 199p. Does this mean our previous scenario was wrong and should now be ignored?

We don’t think so, instead suspecting the lethargy infecting Natwest is another symptom of something greater which encompasses the FTSE itself. During late February and March, we’ve seen numerous shares move upward, in the process triggering levels which should produce entry to useful gain cycles. Across Europe, similar trigger levels being exceeded have all tended produce significant price movements, just not for shares in the UK market. Those who ‘play’ the FTSE will be painfully aware of the index’ malaise for the last few months and unfortunately, one of our trite sayings “If it ain’t going up, it’s going down!” looks threatening. Currently, the French market (CAC40) is playing what seems like a similar game to the FTSE but there is an important difference. The CAC40 is hesitating while the index challenges the pre-Covid market high, whereas the FTSE is catatonic nearly 1,000 points below such a level.

It’s not a pretty sight but we’re mildly optimistic for the future.

Should the FTSE stagger above 6,900 points, many shares which are presently lethargic have the potential to burst into life as they emerge from their caves.

 

The scenario for Natwest can now be moderated to read; above 199p now calculates as capable of 215p with secondary, if exceeded, calculating at 256p. These numbers represent a very modest change to our previous thoughts as our price targets are calculated according to price movements. It’s complicated but expectations can evolve. While it’s still the case some hesitation is suspected around the 250p level (if only due to the historical visuals), there is a longer term facet in this scenario which presents a distant 365p as an attraction for the infinitely patient, or at least those patient enough to stay alive that long!

 

Natwest needs devalue below 165p to cause trouble, allowing weakness down to 142p.
