Trends And Targets

Hummingbird Resources  Plc  (LSE:HUM) #Gold #SP500

The TV show Gold Rush never fails to fascinate, the champion of 2022 being a miner (Parker) who stumbled across over 8,000 ounces of the shiny stuff. Knocking it all into perspective, Hummingbird Plc appear to be anticipating over 140,000 oz annually for the next couple of years and they’ve plenty of future areas still to mine.  While Gold Rush’s Parker has been searching in Alaska and currently Peru to indentify new prospects.

Regular readers will know, we’re addicted to this particular TV show, though often less than enthralled with some of the miners Discovery TV decide to focus on. Some of them couldn’t be relied upon to pull a can of beans out of a cupboard, let alone run a gold mine. A mainstay failure for the last few years decided the route to success was surrounding himself with disabled ex-military, presumably ‘cos they were working for beans and if they could drive a tank, an excavator wouldn’t be different. Needless to say, things didn’t work out, this years season effectively ending with the guys employees taking a collection for him as they wanted to return for another year. It was clearly great fun, big machines, lots of mud, no officers, and no-one shooting at them! And if they found gold, they’d all be millionaires faster than you can say Ponzi Scheme…

 

From reading their website, it’s quite enlightening how the big boys go about the search for gold, both explaining why Parker from Gold Rush is so successful and also, delineating the massive jump required from his current level to the big league. Hummingbird share price is on the edge of some serious movements, requiring only to close a session above 13.25p to hopefully trigger some proper recovery, doubtless mimicking the price of Gold which presently looks like it wants to explore life above $2,100. Surely it’s the case such a potential should impact major gold explorer share prices?

Day trade prices now above 13.75p should promote a near term visit to 17.5p next with secondary, if exceeded, at 21.5p and a price level where the visuals almost guarantee some hesitation due to prior history. Our underlying argument demand the share price close above 13.25p (the price level when the share last broke the Red uptrend since 2016) as this makes such a rise about as close to “safe” as it gets.

If trouble is planned, the share needs below 7.8p to signal an investment in running shoes may be wise, risking a visit to our ultimate bottom of 0.5p.

For now, we’re fairly optimistic about this lots potentials. We’ve displayed a longer term ambition at 33p but there are a few criteria needing confirmed before this can become an official target.

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

#FTSE #NK225 Swiss company, Glencore Plc, an abbreviation of ‘Global Energy Commodity Resources’ are a pretty core component of the FTSE 100. The company are seriously big, the UK hosting their Oil & Gas head offices and they’re rated as the worlds largest commodity traders. A visit to the company Wikipedia page is highly recommended, their history being utterly fascinating with allegations of corruption almost on a par with the UK’s political classes.

However, given the plethora of fields in which Glencore are active, it’s actually a little surprising how relatively placid the share price has been over the last 10 years. With the company achieving a new all time high in January this year, the share price reaching 584p, we’re curious whether some further good times may be on the horizon, especially as the share price has now broken through its immediate downtrend and appears to be on the edge of challenging its prior highs.

Trading around 498p currently, the immediate situation suggests above 501p should trigger an attempt at 525p next with secondary, if exceeded, at 579p. We suspect this shall prove quite important, once again taking the share price into “all time high” territory where we’re able to calculate the potential of a visit to 693p as a logical Big Picture ambition on this cycle.

 

If things intend go horribly wrong, the share needs below 422p to trigger panic, entering a reversal cycle which should hopefully complete at 297p. Early warning of trouble shall be the price closing below 480p but for now, we’re inclined toward optimism for Glencore’s future.

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

#Gold #WallSt The last “Parked for Pandemic” cruise ship sailed past, the other day. Immediately, we suspected it was Scotlands leading political trougher, Nicola Sturgeon, exploiting a new method of escaping difficult questions, making her way to a country without an extradition treaty. Lacking drama, the real answer is an upturn in demand for cruise liners, causing all the parked ships to leave the River Clyde.

Logically, as the white behemoth sailed out to sea, probably hoping to never, ever, return to its moorings near Glasgow, a place where extremes of weather have always been a proud local joke. An amusing aspect of where the liners were moored came from the local maternity hospital, the windows giving countless new mothers the opportunity to take “selfies” with 4 large cruise ships parked literally behind them.

 

Cruise ship company Carnival Plc had been experiencing a severe share price decline, even prior to Covid sticking the boot in at the start of 2020, and we’re understandably curious as to whether the worst is over. Perhaps the public shall once again revel at the chance of being isolated in a giant petri dish, again at the mercy of whatever causes the next health panic for the world.  The immediate situation for Carnival share price demands it close a session above roughly 749.311p currently, exceeding Blue on the chart and taking a voyage into the realms of discovery. In such a scenario, we can calculate an initial target for the share price at 868p with secondary, if bettered, working out at a longer term 1075p.

Noticeably absent from this prediction is an expectation of a return to the wonderful heights above 35 quid before the pandemic hit and it’s a bit of a nuisance, feeling like an excess of patience shall be required. Currently, the best we can give is of closure above Blue on the chart theoretically allowing a distant 1315p to become a sensible future potential.

Perhaps the company shall start issuing extremely positive results to the market, something which appears doubtful due to the plethora of adverts for heavily discounted cruise ship cabins. However, the last ship has sailed from the River Clyde in Glasgow, so perhaps this means something.

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

#Dax #Brent The S&P 500 index is currently presenting a perfect argument as to why folk dare not trust national index’ as a safe barometer as to how well things are going. Currently, this S&P 500 is up 8.3% this year, an encouraging number by any standards. However, there’s a deeper harsh reality, this level of gain driven by just 20 companies out of 500. The implication, for the residual 480 components of the index, isn’t great. Once the top 20 are discounted, the index itself only moved by just over 1%.

Similar poisonous behaviour also infects the FTSE 100, up by 5.1% so far this year, but the market is also away with many respectable shares doing very little of interest. Which, needless to say, brings us to Lloyds bank, up by 3.1% this year. One aspect of Lloyds share price behaviour which continues to bother us is the share price’s failure to attempt to pre-pandemic price level of 58p. Both Barclays and Natwest proved able to exceed this particular low bar but alas, in the case of Lloyds, the share price appears to be viewing the pre-pandemic price as a Limbo Dance price bar, ensuring it remains below rather than risk doing anything valuable for investors!

 

From a Big Picture perspective, the share price needs now exceed 52.4p to apparently trigger movement to an initial 57p with secondary, if bettered, at 62.7p. In the event trouble is planned, the share price needs weaken below 45p as this risks provoking reversal to an initial 41.7p with secondary, if broken, a quite dangerous 36p, within reach of a hopeful ultimate bottom of just 30p.

For now, with Lloyds we’ve too many reasons to lack any optimism for the immediate future.

#FTSE #Bitcoin As we go into the weekend with new snow on the mountains in Argyll, our lawn is finally cut, there’s reason for optimism. And of course, some puzzlement. The FTSE is looking capable of tracing new highs, Bitcoin looks like it’s about to enter a recovery phase, even Gold looks like it’s about to attempt to new levels above $2100.

 

Our puzzlement comes from conventional wisdom, essentially if the markets are tanking, smart money is supposed to head elsewhere like Gold or Bitcoin. But the markets, while certainly lacking flamboyant gestures, continue to exhibit gains on almost a daily basis. Firstly, we want to examine Bitcoin as it feels like it’s on the edge of doing something clever.

Currently, it appears Bitcoin (trading around 30,300 USD at time of writing) need only exceed 30,575 to apparently trigger a gain in the direction of $33,186, a fairly useful little jump. Our secondary, however, is of special interest as should this initial target be exceeded, we are calculating $47,938 as a secondary, a price level not seen for 12 months. Visually, it makes a lot of sense but do pay attention to the initial target as it “really” needs exceeded to better a funny batch of movements last year, making a strong lift to our $47k level a viable proposition.

For everything to go wrong for Bitcoin, it needs below $23,500 to spoil the party.

 

FTSE for Friday We’re a little hacked off about the UK Aim market once again riding second fiddle to the FTSE, making a series of pretty useless movements rather than exhibit the very real strength shown when it enacted pandemic recovery, quite literally leaving the FTSE 100 in the dust. However, movements since the start of 2022 almost felt the junior exchange was facing payback for its temerity and only now, are there slight signs things may be improving. But we need see the AIM above 900 points (currently 825 points) to start thinking happy thoughts again.

As for the FTSE, it’s looking very like the index is planning another forage into the land of higher highs.

Currently, above 7862 points should hopefully trigger gains to an initial 7913 points with secondary, if bettered, at 7970, a price level where the visuals suggest hesitation is possible. However, were it not for the previous stall at this level at the start of March, our secondary would work out at 8080 points but, in this instance, our software is probably taking the wiser stance. Market gains recently are proving slow and steady, making us wonder what shall be required to see days of 100+ point movements return. Perhaps a return to Government by Liz Truss will be needed to shake things up, ideally the Scottish Govt where many senior folk have resigned, doubtless pending police investigation results.

Our alternate scenario requires the FTSE to slither below 7808 points, risking a slight reversal cycle to an initial 7760 with secondary, if broken, at 7703 points and hopefully yet another bounce.

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

#FTSE #WallSt It’s that time of the year when our thoughts turn to Kingfisher, owners of B&Q. A series of frustrating setbacks while servicing our little red tractor provoked a genuine “down tools” moment, along with the announcement of a need to visit the mainland and go to B&Q. When asked what was needed, a glib answer of “a break from than little red hellish machine” didn’t entirely satisfy, especially as B&Q are not famed for their supply of tractor parts.

But the store has its uses, almost as mentally soothing as wandering aimlessly in a book shop or once, in electronics stores.

The tractor, usually fairly well behaved, generally needs an oil and filters change at the start of the season, grease pumped everywhere, tyre pressures checked, and invariably some minor welding on the grass cutting deck. Today was different. There was a fresh dusting of snow on the hills here in Argyll and clambering around the small tractor wasn’t an attractive proposition. After connecting up the freshly charged battery, turning the key produced nothing, no clicks, no warning lights, just utter silence. This was half expected, the ignition switch previously needing “shoogled” to tempt the thing into starting, so it was clearly time to fit the replacement I’d ordered when the machine was put away for winter. In an effort to win favour with it, I’d also ordered a new starter solenoid, just in case.

After a few hours, the new parts were comfortably in place, the new key turned, and there was still nothing, except the hills were getting a little more white. It was time to actually do some diagnosis with a volt meter, checking continuity through every single cable on the ignition circuit. Obviously, before going to any of this effort, the fuse board had been checked. After a lot more work, the little red tractor now concealed under an ever growing pile of displaced parts, the dashboard had been removed and it was now time to check the “topple switch” under the seat, something designed to detect if the driver has fallen off or the tractor has toppled. Obviously, this switch was working perfectly but when checking the wiring for it, the discovery of an in-line fuse provoked an immediate sinking feeling. There was a tiny little  20 amp fuse which had blown, thus ensuring nothing on the tractor would work. Once the laughter stopped, it was the work of hours to put everything back together, gentle puffs of snow blowing into the shed to assist in making the day more pleasant.

So, I’m going to visit B&Q with the intention of standing gazing at some self propelled lawnmowers. Perhaps the tedious 1.5 mile walk while cutting grass shall not be as unpleasant as memory dictates. Or maybe the job of servicing the little red tractor shall continue with no further unpleasantness!

And this is why the inspiration to review Kingfisher appeared.

 

Currently, things don’t look that great for the owners of B&Q (and Screwfix etc), their share price threatening reversal to 222p with any further movement below 242p.  Visually, there’s a reasonable argument hoping for a bounce at such a level, due to the coincidence of the Red uptrend on the chart and a prior share price low at the end of last year. Things become a little unpleasant with any break of 222p as a visit to 201p looks extremely possible.

Trading around 253p at present, their share price calculates as needing above 288p to trigger a confident looking recovery cycle, giving an initial ambition at 318p with secondary, if bettered, at a longer term 343p. On the chart, we’ve teased with a distant looking 392p, almost certainly a share price level which should provoke hesitation, and suspect this shall not become an issue unless our little red tractor disgraces itself, forcing the purchase of a lawnmower from B&Q…

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

#Gold #DAX Typically, we trawl Google News for some salacious gossip regarding whatever share is our focus on any particular evening. Today, for a change, we’d a slightly different motive as BT’s share price appears to be making some positive movements. Surely nothing to do with their relationship with Amazon Web Services (AWS) as it’s difficult to identify any real benefit for BT from this partnership.

Yet, the BT Group newsroom continue to issue Press Releases waxing lyrical about their collaboration, the most recent containing the sentence; “This allows BT customers to benefit from improved simplicity when purchasing via AWS Marketplace”.

It’s pretty sane to suggest if Amazon identify a method by which purchasing from Amazon can be made simpler, they shall roll it out for all their customers, not just BT’s. And why is there no mention of BT actually profiting from any of these simplified purchases?

 

However, aside from our cynical nature, it feels like the market has seen something about BT as their share price looks poised to experience some gains.

There is a pretty solid looking downtrend which dates back to 2016 and currently, price movements exceeding 154.05p should make an attempt at an initial 161p next. As the chart below highlights, this implies a challenge of the Blue downtrend, along with a theory of closure above 161p entering a zone where we can dare speculate on the potential of longer term traffic to a future 211p. While conventional wisdom suggests the risk of some hesitation at such a level, due to the share price’s historical behaviour, the perceived Glass Ceiling is around the 208p level, allowing significant hope the share price shall find any delay just above the 2 quid level as being a fleeting impediment. We shall revisit our analysis should such a level be achieved as some quite strong long term recovery becomes possible.

 

A converse picture demands the share price dial itself back below 134p to ring a wrong number as an initial 129 calculates as possible with secondary, if broken, at 106p and hopefully a trampoline empowered bottom. The implications, should 106p ever break, are silly.

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.
