Trends And Targets

 #Gold #SP500

Around 1am, it’s possible to draw the most absurd similes. When PNL.L did their 1:100 share split at the start of August, we suspected fireworks may be coming in the future. Accidentally inventing indoor fireworks wasn’t a consideration but at 1am, with tiny balls of blue flame flying around the lounge, PNL somehow came to mind as being due a glance.

Our unexpected light show came from a homemade methanol heater concept, one of these ridiculous things which seemed like a good idea at the time. Sometimes, the effort to wind down after a day watching the markets and an evening writing about them, can involve being a little silly but the homemade heater was proving fascinating. And with all projects, it’s never going to be finished as constant tweaks are required.

 

By 1am, the western markets closed and futures essentially pretending to move thanks to this week being Thanksgiving, it was obviously time to try a new cunning plan with the wick for the heater. To explain, the wick, the bit you light to get heat, is quite recessed within a 5mm slot and tonight’s good idea involved creating a simple fuse, using a tail of long wick material which was clamped within the 5mm slot. Due to repeat experiments, lots of strips of the carbon felt used for a wick were lying outside on the patio table, essentially off-cuts. An ideal length, slightly damp from the Scottish mist, was selected, surely able to dry quickly in the heat. It was soaked in methanol, securely jammed in the narrow slot. All other components had been tested and there was no reason to worry about lighting this flammable strip.

The flame danced quite neatly up to the stove, then raced around within the recess in a spectacular display of a flame chasing itself in a circle.

And then the little stove blew up, roughly 100ml of methanol fuel going everywhere in droplet form as it sprayed through the stainless steel mesh ‘safety’ cover.

Somehow or other, I didn’t panic as “It is ONLY methanol”. Pretty blue droplets were now burning on the carpet, the book case, my hand, the ceiling, one even close to a dogs paw. The smoke alarm continued sleeping thankfully as it’s doubtful my wife’s sense of humour would extend to this little accident. Literally within a minute, all flames were extinguished aside from those trapped in the spill tray below the stove, an utterly essential component for reasons which rapidly became obvious.

Not a single trace of the disaster remained, the only problem being the cause.

Once market futures were dealt with on Tuesday morning, a quick test of a theory – this time in the garden – confirmed using a wet wick wasn’t a great idea. Either it had ignited gasses in an enclosed space or, the addition of 2 parts of hydrogen and 1 part of Oxygen (H2O – aka water) to methanol created a seriously spectacular indoor firework.

 

Personal Assets Trust indulged in the kind of share split we like, giving investors 100 shares for every one they hold. In US markets and, to a lesser extent the UK, invariably this form of split is good news for a share price in the longer term, justifying a fireworks display. However, in the case of PNL currently, there’s a reason for some slight concern. An annoying dip on October 13th took their share price below the Red uptrend, something we dislike as this sort of nonsense can often signify early warning for trouble.

Currently, below 465p threatens reversal to 454p initially with secondary, if broken, a hopefully trampoline bottom at 437p.

However, we’re mildly fascinated at the reverence being paid to Red on the chart and wonder if the share price is simply marching on the spot, awaiting some news the market shall deem important. This being the case, above just 482p should prove capable of a lift to an initial 494 with secondary, if bettered, a longer term 525p and a new all time high.

Natwest  (LSE:NWG)

#Brent #Dax Top Gear on Sunday managed to pull off something extraordinary. Their competition, going from thousands of entrants down to a final sixteen, then four winners was extraordinary, culminating in a GT race in a McLaren 570. Had this been on any other channel, the greed of a “reality show” potential would have dragged it out to be a series, but instead, we were gifted some quite interesting telly without it feeling rushed.

If only the Retail Banking sector share prices could learn from this process. It was once said investing was a 7 year cycle game but we’re nearly at 14 years, since Natwest hit their low of 9.8p back in 2009 and, disregarding the 10:1 share consolidation in 2012, it’s only trading around 25.8p currently. Perhaps, rather than bank managers, they should employ Top Gear producers in an effort to get things moving.

Three weeks ago, we reviewed this share, speculating on the potential of movement above 237 triggering a lift to 254p. With something akin to a festive season miracle, the trigger was hit and their price obligingly moved to target, even exceeding it slightly. Visually, the share price is now on the edge of some Big Picture movement potentials. First though, we need revised the relatively near term chances. Above just 260p calculates with the potential of a lift now to an initial 266p with secondary, if exceeded, a slightly less certain ambition at 284p. While 284p looks quite a pretty target, neatly matching the highs achieved in August, we need CLOSURE above 284p to start taking Natwest seriously.

The requirement for closure makes sense, if viewing the downtrend since 2018 as this shall embed the share price above the trend, giving considerable hope as it will move the price into a region where the Big Picture calculates with an initial 320 with secondary, if bettered, a long term 394p.

 

For things to revert to type for Natwest, their share price needs tumble below 233p as this risks triggering reversal to an initial 207 with secondary, if broken, at 209p.

#FTSE #GOLD

Due to an obligatory family event, we skipped Wednesday evening’s report in favour of an evening in a restaurant. It’s funny, everything felt like the few years were a distant memory, even though we’ve not taken an evening off since Nov 2019. For the first time since the pandemic era, everything felt normal with the world and as always, the only problem with a family gathering is family turn up.

One bright bit of news appeared on Thursday to help diminish a Merlot hangover, as shown in the graphic below. It proudly trumpets the news of next year probably going to be pretty bad with the UK underperforming every other economy. A similar theme has been emerging across the media, a broad expectation 2023 will doubtless be “a bit rubbish”. We’d like to point out something quite surprising about these economic forecasts. They are almost always wrong!.

As countries emerged from the pain of lockdown, it was widely projected the UK was going to recover faster and better than virtually everywhere else with lots of colourful graphics supporting the notion. News the UK has recovered more slowly than everywhere else hasn’t proven to be a surprise, our GDP standing alone in showing a reduction against the year pre-Covid. Everywhere else has gained. Now, with the genius’s who feed the rumour mill which drives headlines entering overdrive in favouring future misery, it’s pretty certain next year shall yield some pleasant surprises despite the UK governments ongoing attempts to trash the economy. Who knows, maybe the politician who’s doing time in a jungle shall become the next Prime Minister, when the job again becomes vacant.

 

As for the FTSE, since the index exceeded our weird trend break trigger level around 7180, everything has worked out pretty much as expected with the index proving quite well behaved. Better still, the index value has again regained the Red pandemic uptrend on the chart and as the chart inset highlights, some effort is being made to ensure the index remains solidly above Red. Common sense suggests in the event of the FTSE somehow discovering an excuse to CLOSE below Red, some bad times may be ahead. Currently, this requires the FTSE to end a day below 7310 points.

For the immediate future, the UK index needs exceed 7360 points to hopefully trigger recovery to an initial 7397 points. If exceeded, our secondary for the longer term (or later that day) calculates at 7436 points. Such a target level is within reaching distance of a Big Picture ambition, currently exerting an attraction at 7470 points. We do anticipate some hesitation at the 7470 level, if it ever bothers to make an appearance. This suspicion is due to a further calculation 200 points higher, finally taking the UK within sneezing distance of joining the rest of the world and leaving the pandemic behind. For our near term targets, if triggered, a fairly reasonable 7320 points.

 

Our alternate scenario, should the index break 7320 points, has the potential of reversal to an initial modest 7308 points with secondary, if broken, at 7278 points and a very possible bounce.

 

Have a good weekend and do enjoy the last GP of the year.

Due to celebrate their 150th birthday next year, Rio Tinto (named after a Spanish river) have much to boast about, when reviewing the history which got them to the present. Active in 35 countries, they’re currently ranked as 2nd largest miner in the world but probably shall always be remembered for destroying a cave in Australia, a prehistoric site containing evidence of 46,000 years of continual human occupation.

Their PR department initially appeared to do a good job, giving the impression is was all a bit of a surprise. A little bit of research revealed Rio Tinto had been given permission 7 years earlier, a decision which had been under review when the company opted to blow it up. From an Australian perspective, the event appears to be on a similar scale, should the UK Govt opt to repurpose Stonehenge as a missile testing site with accommodation for free range illegal immigrants & LibDems too.

 

Prior to the financial crash of 2009, Rio attained a share price high of £72 an impressive number it hasn’t (yet) attained in the years since. Currently pottering around the 5450p level, their share price look like it has a trigger level at just 5510p. In the event the price exceeds this level, ongoing movement to 5892p initially calculates as possible. Should such be exceeded, our secondary works out at 6112p and the potential of a major change for the future.

This is one of these events where closure above 6112p is required to give the price a long term impitus to make a charge at an impressive 7792 and a new all time high.

 

To indicate trouble ahead, Rio Tinto share price requires to dig below Red on the chart below, presently around 4450p as this looks capable of provoking reversal to 3834p with secondary, if broken, at 3700p and hopefully a bounce, a distinct possibility doe to the proximity of each target. Real problems shall make themselves known if any excuse is unearthed for the share price to close a session below £37 as this calculates with the potential of a future excavation down to 2784p.

Given many of Rio Tinto’s extracted products are currently fetching record prices in world markets, we’re inclined to look favourably on the future.

#Gold #SP500

Kefi are managing to provide a brief “Back to School” lesson about trend lines. An immediate glance at the Big Picture chart below gives ample reason for good cheer for the share price future, it has broken through a pronounced Blue downtrend since 2016 and is now clearly heading upward. Surely this gives reason for rampant optimism for the months ahead?

This may not be the case. When we previously reviewed Kefi, we provided quite a positive report. But we can also note the share price cleverly avoided any upward triggers (it was trading at 1.9p when we ran the numbers), instead price movements paid attention to our final paragraph. By September, the share decided to break below 1.4p (circled) and what’s been happening since is a bit of a shambles. And while it may be trading above Blue, we’re rather more interested in the Light Grey trend line. This is important from our perspective, ‘cos we build future price movement tables around the strengths shown when a share reacts to a trend. Due to current dance steps, it’s highly likely the Blue downtrend can be ignored for the moment.

Our reason for distrusting the share comes from another trend line, dating back to 2020 and more ominously, the one to which the market is paying attention. This innocent downtrend has been formed by 4 previous price movements and what’s important is the effort currently being made to ensure the share price doesn’t close above the Light Grey line. During the last few sessions, the share has been permitted to cavort above the trend during the session but extraordinary effort has been employed to ensure the closing price remains in the dangerous land of doldrums.

The immediate situation is a bit underwhelming, suggesting above 0.95 should make an attempt at 1.08p next with secondary, if beaten, a marginally more respectable 1.25p. We’d like to point out it needs exceed 1.4p before anything realistic becomes viable as this risks triggering gains to 2.32p, a point where we’d need look hard at the tea leaves again.

However, due to the salient detail the price is being maintained below a trend line, there’s a very real risk below 0.75 shall provoke reversal to an initial 0.60 with secondary, if broken, at 0.45p and a possible bounce. But of course, there’s always the risk the share price is being kept in place, pending the release of some important information…

#Brent #Stoxx50

Perhaps it’s a UK thing but at times, when “things” start to look optimistic, we automatically worry. It almost feels like a malevolent presence lurks above the UK markets (and country!), just waiting for sufficient number of folk to make a hopeful commitment, when suddenly it strikes with a massive ‘Gotcha, suckers’. This isn’t new, emphatically not a Brexit thing but instead, dates back to recovery from the financial crash bottom in 2009.

Over the years, we frequently moaned at the UK’s inability to recover from that particular hammering. Even in the USA, every now and then Bloomberg or The Wall St Journal lead with an editorial, asking “Are British Bank Shares Cheap?”, their puzzlement an ongoing question when they’ve witnessed US bank sector shares recover quite nicely. Invariably, each editorial ends with quiet muttering, along with a suggestion to review German financial sector shares.

However, perhaps it’s about time to load a party popper, maybe even invest in a bottle of fizzy water. By our standards, this may prove quite a big deal.

When we previously ran analysis on Lloyds, we suggested it needed close a session above 43.5p to give hope for the future. On Friday 11th November, it closed at a majestic 43.515p, this break above our trigger level providing oodles of reason to drool about the immediate future. Additionally, the share price has closed above the critical level of trend break (circled) from 28th September this year, something which is meaningless to most sane folk but we regard as a pretty big deal. At least, it usually is, if we pretend politics, wars, pandemics, don’t happen.

 

The immediate situation suggests movement continuing above 44p should make an attempt at 46.2p next with our realistic secondary calculation, if such a level is exceeded, works out at a viable looking 48.8p. This secondary is quite a big deal as, for the longer term, closure above such a level will make a future 59.7p a logical ambition.

If trouble in planned, the share price requires slump below 40.8p as this risks triggering reversal to 38.8p with secondary, if broken, a potential bottom around 35p. Thus far, the share price has ticked two boxes suggesting reversal isn’t currently looming above the share.

#Nasdaq #FTSE

It remains extremely possible the markets, thankfully including the UK, are continuing to exhibit signs of a rally. Unheard of numbers from the USA made themselves apparent on Thursday with the Nasdaq up 7.5%, the S&P 500 up 5.5%, and sober Wall St climbing by 3.7%.  In Europe, the FTSE managed 1.1%, pretty pathetic when viewed against Germany at plus 3.5% and the Euro Stoxx 50 also up by 3.2%.

All this largess was blamed on better than expected inflation figures and it looks very like this positive behaviour shall continue, hopefully until the Nasdaq attains around 12400 points while the DAX admires the scenery around 14900 points. Even Wall St presents a strong argument favouring a path to an eventual 36100 points before some serious hesitation is expected. All things considered, it’s probably the case politicians now feel primed to say or do something exceptionally stupid.

We’ve mentioned repeatedly the phenomena of shares or index’ behaving strongly, when they exceed the level of a prior break of a major trend. It’d be naive to think the gains are anything to do with charts themselves, instead it must be remembered “all” a chart is measuring is the level of confidence from investors. This particular chart signal is pretty important, giving a solid clue of assurance & spirit coming back into the marketplace.

Or perhaps it’s just the case folk in the UK are getting fed up with the revolving door in Downing St and seeking light relief elsewhere.

 

For the FTSE, our previous Big Picture potential remains at 7467 points, an ambition which is obviously very close to the current market level. We still suspect the index shall experience some hesitation at such a point.

Near term, movement above 7406 points calculates with the potential of a lift to 7465 points, effectively hitting our Big Picture target mooted a week ago. We can give a secondary, calculating at an astounding 7756 points. Normally we’d cheerfully ridicule such an ambition for a single day buy given market strengths elsewhere, who knows? Maybe the FTSE shall produce a little miracle. Currently the FTSE needs slither below 7300 to rain on the parade, a wide stop loss level but we’d prefer it wider at 7250 points!

 

Our converse scenario, should the FTSE manage to wander below 7285 points risks pushing reversal to an initial 7187 points with secondary, if broken, at 7116 points. At time of writing, absolutely nothing suggests such a calamity.

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.
