Trends And Targets

#Gold #WallSt  As we approach Halloween, it obviously makes sense to review a scary share with the moniker BOO. Personally, a very Halloween event occurred during the last 24 hours, thanks to either Covid-19 vaccine or the Flu vaccine. From chatting to others, I’m inclined to suspect what was experienced was a Flu vaccine thing and the Covid jag did nothing harmful. After being stabbed twice by a nurse at noon, she warned any side effects shouldn’t last more than 24 hours and to get in touch if they did. But more assuringly, she added most folk don’t experience ANY side effects.

For this individual, this proved incorrect as virtually all flu symptoms kicked into play by around midnight, one after the other. The first one, bouts of uncontrolled shivering, lasted until around 2am and the point where my wife was ready to call an ambulance. I told her not to worry as I was starting to feel hot and sticky, just like a fever. By 4am, the fever symptoms left the building but a vile headache appeared and by 6am, the headache mercifully gone, the only problem was I could now hardly walk, due to severe muscle pains. And by 8am, the fever symptoms returned for a while, lasting just long enough to remind that the bedding now needed changed, along with the pillows. And by 12 noon, precisely 24 hours after the injections, we drove along to a local cafe for lunch as there was absolutely nothing wrong with me. There’s a ridiculous urban legend of the Flu Vaccine giving people Flu. I’d suggest this isn’t the case but the side effects did feel like two weeks of influenza on fast forward!

All things considered, it was one of these; “If Halloween did Vaccinations…” moments.

 

Boohoo share price has been experiencing a rather frightening time since the end of 2021 and finally is starting to show early symptoms of exiting the misery. We’re hopefully not reaching too hard but from our perspective, the price currently need only exceed 32.3p to give the first signal some recovery may be upon it.

We are hinging this on what happens, should just 31.08p be exceeded, only 0.07 above the current price so there’s not a lot of work required.

Above 31.08 calculates with the potential of a lift to 33p, once again returning above an uptrend which dates back to 2015. Normally, this would be quite a big deal, taking the share out of its immediate Blue downtrend. Should 33p be exceeded, things get interesting as a future 40p works out as a sane ambition. Visually this could signify the start of a proper share price recovery cycle but, to be safe, we shall prefer review the numbers if the 40p ambition makes itself known.

Our converse scenario remains scary as below 28p threatens a visit to 24p. If broken, our eventual ultimate bottom works out at just 7p.

For the present, we suspect Boohoo are about to experience some positive movement. Hopefully they don’t have any scary news to release, in keeping with the season.

#Gold_Futures #S&P500 A week ago, Horizonte Minerals (HZM) share price fell off a cliff, doubtless feeling as I do now!. Todays non-professional complaint was caused by my 6th Covid-19 jag, along with a Flu jag administered at the same time. Usually, the side effects kick in by around midnight but todays offerings misbehaved quite a bit sooner. Around an hour after returning from the hospital, a thumping headache started, along with an allocation of sore muscles. By 9pm, perspiration was making itself known and trust me, settling down to answer a bunch of emails about Horizonte wasn’t something being looked forward too.

Thankfully, we’d run the numbers on Horizonte and as is our custom, waited until the last minute to produce our headline report, just in case something happens during the trading day.

The company, a nickel miner, do all their work in Brazil. The shares are listed in London along with Toronto and of course, their headquarters are in London. One can only guess at the air miles accumulated by staff as they trot the globe.

 

From our perspective, “ultimate bottom” for this share calculated at just 14p and with the price hitting 14.12 just last week, perhaps there is sufficient reason to hope for a bounce with the price. According to our tea leaves, above just 30.5p should prove capable of triggering recovery to an initial 35.5p with secondary, if bettered, at a longer term 47p. There’s a fairly reason expectation of some hesitation at the 47p level as the share price shall require closure above such a point to hopefully signal happier days are on the horizon.

A word of warning, we cannot calculate anything below 14p which isn’t prefaced with a minus sign.

Another word of warning. The grotty side effects currently being “enjoyed” may be due to the Flu vaccine. Who knows?

#Brent #Dax  Every time we cover Natwest, it appears Formula1 decides to produce an interesting Grand Prix. Sunday proved such an occasion, Brit Louis Hamilton trying an unusual ploy of reducing his car weight by ditching one of his wheels on the opening lap. It’s always amusing, when two team-mates hit each other but this incident was far from clear cut. The team obviously knew Hamilton was on a short shelf life “fast” tyre and intended move into the lead as soon as possible. Yet his team mate (on a slower tyre) opted to play at racing, making it impossible for Hamilton to complete the pass without a collision. It created a situation where Hamilton could only take the blame, while doubtless pondering why his colleague opted to forget their strategy briefing before the race. However, even with a lack of rainfall to spice things up, the actual race proved entertaining and once again ensured a nap wasn’t taken while it progressed.

Lack of rainfall isn’t an issue here in the mountains of Argyll. Apparently, our usual annual quota of rain for October fell in just 24 hours, creating a situation where folk were being airlifted by helicopter to safety due to their cars becoming trapped by landslides both in front and behind them.  It’s still raining but on the bright side, the local predominance of SUV’s is finally justified as many road surfaces were washed away. We’ve now a shortage of traffic cones, something unbelievable from a local council.

Formula1 thoughts and local misery aside, some things in life are never as clear cut as we’d like and Natwest share remains firmly in such a category.

 

Natwest Group continues to exhibit a fascination with the downtrend since 2007, enacting yet another fake “break” upward, one which has once again fizzled out. The immediate situation suggests any weakness next below 220p shall doubtless hit 214p and maybe, just maybe, bounce. In our world of convoluted rules, should 214p break, it almost must bounce by 204p. The word ‘almost’ is worth paying attention to, due to a freefall effect being given from a third level target down at 109p. This is something we’d categorise as an ultimate bottom, simply because we cannot calculate below such a ridiculous sounding level. With fun and games currently from Metro Bank in London, there’s obviously a risk of the retail banks once again experiencing a bit of a hammering.

 

Lack of confidence remains a key indicator, when reviewing Natwest and we suspect it now needs above 239p to give any real hope, calculating with a lift potential to an initial 254p with secondary, if bettered, working out at 259p and some probable hesitation. The share certainly has the potential of producing some surprisingly swift recovery but… they are a retail bank.

#FTSE_futures With US Payrolls Friday, we’ve almost gotten to the point of ignoring the day as exuberant market swings have declined over the last few years. The “fun” of trying to make sense of a fistful of darts being thrown by the markets is now mostly absent yet we suspect this is what “they” want us to think.

After all, when the stock markets stop doing stupid things, it’s generally a sign they’re really gearing up toward something really offensive and when we step back and review some recent triggers which have been hit, things could go silly quite swiftly now. Brent Crude is a case in point.

We reviewed Brent a few weeks ago, warning of the risks should the $86 level break. This price level was toasted a couple of days ago and now, from an immediate perspective, we can report continued weakness below 83.4 looks capable of promoting a visit to 82.8 with secondary, if broken, calculating down at 80.4 dollars. But it may be worth remembering our threat of real danger, when the $86 dollar barrel sprung a leak, came from a Big Picture perspective as the stuff is now seen as trading in a zone where a cycle down to 75.8 is now suspected with secondary, if broken, at an eventual $57. The nicest thing about all this potential calamity comes from the tightest stop loss level, the product needing above $86 to greatly negate current weakness potentials or above $88.7 to cancel our calculations.

FTSE for FRIDAY.  Last Friday, we presented a scenario where the FTSE risks a trip down to 7392 points. On Monday, the FTSE indeed hit the trigger level and on Wednesday it hit our target, even exceeding it slightly before bouncing from 7384 points. For a few minutes, we even thought our target level was going to be exact but the FTSE had other ideas. This created a bit of a problem as the FTSE closed the day in dangerous territory and now risks the immediate future becoming unpleasant.

Now below 7384 points risks forcing a visit down to 7264 points with our secondary, if this level breaks, working out at an eventual 7103 points. Visually, neither ambition makes much sense but we’re a little worried as the last few weeks has seen the FTSE ‘stepping down’ in 100 point increments, pausing briefly at 7600, then 7500, and most recently, the 7400 point level. This makes our calculation giving the potential of an eventual bottom at 7103 points believable.

Our alternate, less grim scenario, is certainly easier on the eye.

Above 7478 points should hopefully trigger index recovery to an initial useless 7491 points with our secondary, if bettered, working out at 7565 points. If triggered, the tightest stop loss level looks like 7410 points.

 

Have a good weekend and enjoy the Grand Prix.

#Gold #Japan_Futures  With the price of Crude oil experiencing sharp falls, it’s been puzzling watching organisations such as Bloomberg and Reuters trying to invent reasons for the sharp reversal. Reuters excelled themselves, blaming a strong dollar and profit taking, whereas Bloomberg laid the blame firmly at the feet of future interest rate increase fears. Quite why neither organisation chose to report on hard facts was a puzzle. Internationally, high prices has been causing a lack in demand with US gasoline demand reported to be at the lowest level since 2001. It’s a fairly big rule in the market place, price a product at too high a level and people stop buying it. In the USA, crude oil stock levels remain high with gasoline levels up by 6.5 million barrels over their seasonal norm.

This nonsense has a fair bit to do with Tesco who proudly announced they are cutting prices on 2,500 products by an average of 12%. Cutting to the chase, it’s safe to suggest the company have noticed changes in buying habits and now, are in a panic cycle to try and maintain sales levels. Hopefully the company also respond to changes in prices of oil with reductions in their forecourts, an area where Tesco has been notoriously greedy.

 

Tesco share price has been trapped under an obvious downtrend for quite some time and now, needs very little work to suggest some “proper” movement upwards. At present, if this Blue downtrend since 2007 is indeed valid, it appears above just 284p should promote – from a Big Picture Perspective –  the concept of share price recovery to an initial 312p with secondary, if bettered, a longer term 362p. Visually, it looks probable any future visit to 362p shall experience some price hesitation, due to the share experiencing some difficulty with this price level back in 2013. There’s always going to be a bunch of folk delighted to Bail At Break Even and reclaim their funds, doubtless forever distrusting supermarket shares.

If things intend go wrong with the share price, below 254p risks being the first indicator capable of triggering reversal to 227 with secondary, if broken, at 208p and hopefully a bounce.

 

Finally, remaining on the subject of Tesco, a recent personal calamity finally answered a question about something Americans eat, the fabled Peanut Butter and Jelly (jam) sandwich. Simply due to a complete lack of attentions, a layer of strawberry jam was spread over toast, already covered with peanut butter. How bad could it be?

From personal taste, the answer was “very bad indeed”. Not even the dog would eat it and she’s usually fanatical about all three of the contents, just not all at the same time!

#FTSE #NASDAQ  Once again, we’re doing a “readers request” report, this time on Oxford Biodynamics thanks to a bunch of folk emailing about them. Share price movements since 2017 have certainly been interesting and we were able to calculate an “Ultimate Bottom” at 9.6p, a price level where the value has lingered for the last few months.

Obviously, with this “Ultimate Bottom” calculation, there is never a certainty of a bounce. It simply represents a price level below which we cannot calculate but with Oxford Biodynamics, the share has described some truly impressive movements, due to reports of their prostate cancer analysis being approved for the US market. Given once you pass 50, the medical profession was to test annually for everything they can think of, it’s probably safe to speculate Oxford now find themselves as a supplier to a regular massive market, especially due to their claim of a 94% diagnosis success rate.

 

It’s certainly very reassuring share price movements with the company are backed by solid news. From our perspective, at first glance it looked like a share enjoying a campaign from internet chat rooms, essentially being ramped to the heavens. But with positive news flow, it’s understandable and now, we can calculate some useful potentials for the future.

The immediate scenario allows for strength bettering 51p to provoke further gains to the 66p level. Our secondary, if such a point is exceeded, works out at 92p and a price level where we’d normally anticipate some hesitation, due to historical movements displaying a fascination for the 100p level. However, in this instance, we can present a scenario where if the price actually closes a session above 92p, there’s a lot of free air between this level and a future 159p and a need for us to once again review the tea leaves.

To end with the best we can scrape up as a note of warning, the share price needs slump below 17p to introduce panic. Hopefully the company don’t have some bad news hiding away.

A construction building, littered with a bunch of folk wearing white hard hats and not a single real worker in sight, the lack of yellow or blue hard hats telling an unfortunate story as to who was viewed as important in getting the photo. In a different way, a recent article from Hong Kong managed to raise eyebrows, due to some workers on mainland China testing their hard hats for impact resistance.

It transpired the yellow hard hats issued to staff could barely resist a brick dropped from 2 metres, while white and blue hard hats were brick resistant up to 20 metres and above. The tale, emanating from a less regulative working environment, doubtless has its roots in someone saving money. From a UK perspective, it would never occur different colour hats had different safety standards.

 

Describing themselves as the UK’s leading “Residential for Rent Developer and Operator”, Watkin Jones certainly boast a portfolio of impressive projects, along with a less than impressive decline in their share price in recent years. Currently trading around 36p, investors must be feeling the pain from the decline from 280p at the start of 2022. However, we think we’ve maybe got some good news to impart. Arithmetically, we often calculate something called “Ultimate Bottom”, a share price level below which we cannot calculate.

In the case of Watkin Jones, our “Ultimate Bottom” works out at 35p and the share is certainly within sniffing distance of such a target. We can work out a number below the 35p level and it’s a bit dubious, thanks to the repeated circled gap-downs experienced but in theory, if 35p breaks, 6p can be presented as a future target. But this 6p could easily be nonsense, due to the level of guesswork required, thanks to the manipulation gaps. From a Big Picture standpoint, below 35p only should supply target levels prefaced with impossible minus signs.

So there’s hope for a share price bounce anytime soon as there’s very little in the way of wiggle room for more reversals. Above 43p should prove interesting, calculating with the potential of a lift to an initial 55p with secondary, if beaten, at 65p. To be honest, we’d really hope to see the share price gapped UP soon, due to such a movement tending indicate the market acknowledges it’s overcooked the level of reversals and in such a scenario, we’d anticipate stronger price recovery. Also, in such a scenario, we shall need revisit the numbers, due to it being impossible (currently) to calculate higher than 65p.

This is obviously now in fingers crossed territory but we suspect it shall prove worth watching in the days ahead.

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.
