Trends And Targets

#FTSE #Stoxx50  

We can be a little paranoid about warning signs against share price movements. For instance, the image below for clothing retailer, Frasers Group Plc, displays a bit of a stunner, something which actually makes some sense when you think about it. BP actually had something pretty similar, prior to Deepwater Horizon, and aAlso, Wall St experienced a dip below the uptrend, prior to events in Sept 2001. It’s got nothing to do with the markets being prescient.

This sort of thing happens all the time, a solid uptrend breaking and we suspect all it implies is the potential for weakness in a price movement, essentially the market broadcasting “this trend in no sacred, it can break!” However, should a share price move below the level of a historical ‘warning’ break of a trend, it’s definitely the time to jog along to your local Sports Direct and buy running shoes as a worst case scenario may be about to come true.

 

As an aside, the Frasers Group of today really have nothing in common with the historical House of Fraser in Glasgow, a company formed around 170 years ago and the subject of utter dread every December in the 1970’s. For some reason, always designated as my mothers official bag carrier, spending hours in the awful place buying Xmas gifts for everyone (except me) left only a memory of the utter stink of perfume. The perfume department was on the ground floor, a vastly overheated area with the samples smell permeating upward to contaminate the entire massive store and we’d finally leave, me with a headache, safe in the knowledge I’d once again be getting Book and Music shop vouchers. This wasn’t a shop which generated fond memories for this particular child.

In the case of Frasers Group share price currently, the Red uptrend has been confirmed multiple times since 2020.

Should early signals for trouble be needed, share price closure below 720 looks capable of breaking Red and promoting weakness to a non threatening 613p with secondary, if broken, a rather nasty looking 554p. As we alluded earlier, anything capable of bringing a share price below the circled Red trend break value is liable to be quite dangerous, taking the share price into a zone where a sharp reversal cycle to 376, perhaps even a bottom of 230p becomes probable.

 

In the event Frasers Group intends an emergency escape from this troubling picture, share price movements above just 807p calculate with the chances of a lift to 862p next with secondary, if beaten, at 900p and an expectation of some hesitation. From our perspective, the share price needs closure above 900p to suggest considerable strength has entered the fray and a future exists which may not stink!

#Gold #SP500

Regular readers will know of our utter distaste for negative share splits, price movements designed to make a share sound more respectable. Often, for the longer term, whatever culture permeated a company, causing any initial share split, remains, creating the same situation again. Scotgold in Tyndrum, guilty of 100:1 surgery in 2017, saw their share price boost from around 0.4p up to a pretend 40p in a blink.

The manoeuvre, we’ll take 100 of your shares and give you a brand new single shiny one back, rarely seems to work out for the longer term, victims from prior to the share split being the ones who obviously pay. For instance, folk from 2012 “only” need see Scotgold move above 6 quid until they find themselves in profit. Glancing at the chart below, it’s easy to suspect Scotgold may soon consider yet another share split as the immediate future looks pretty vile.

Movement next below 11.5p looks very capable of a trip down to 8.5p next, perhaps with a bounce. Our secondary, if such a level breaks, works out at just 4p, a price level below which we cannot calculate as every target gets prefaced with a minus sign.

In the event any miracles are planned (it is nearly Easter) apparently the share price only needs exceed 15.5 to make an attempt at 18 next with our secondary, if bettered, at 22p (which may be 25p, thanks to the market gapping the price down. Unfortunately, this feels like it has similar quality to a dead cat bounce, none of the targets coming close to 32p, above which the market would be forced to concede it was all a dreadful mistake.

We fear, despite Gold prices being at record high levels, Scotlands Gold miner intends drill down to the 4p level and hopefully shall discover an excuse for the market to gap the share price up substantially. Currently we’re lacking optimism, suspecting the market doesn’t inflict a minus 63% day without good reason. Perhaps the Earnings Report due later this week shall contain good news…

#Brent #Dax

Sometimes, I suspect my foibles drive my wife crazy.  She’ll sometimes go to bed around 9pm, thanks to a commute which starts at 5am and as every bloke knows, you’re only wide awake from 9pm onward. In the last year, evenings same me built a rock grinding machine, a generator, and a room heater for pyromaniacs. But top marks were awarded to my bread making fascination.

As a Coeliac, gluten free bread became essential and as a Diabetic, the right bread was difficult to say the least. Eventually producing something which was edible though quite literally unable to be toasted, possibly due to almond flour creating fireproof content. But I kept experimenting while my wife slept, constantly improving/changing the recipe until things started to approach the dizzy heights of edible. Unfortunately, along came Deutsche Bank and the inevitable memory of Munich hauptbahnhof (central station), a delight in the 1990’s when travelling to Frankfurt for waste of time meetings. Early mornings at the hauptbahnhof introduced me to chocolate croissants, possibly the best in the world, from one of the many vendors with carts. They were literally so good, when I left Munich for the last time to drive home, a stop at the railway station to pick up an order of 40 was mandated.

Inspiration comes from strange places! Deutsche Bank’s troubles a reminder of Munich station, influenced an attempt to reproduce the flavour of these croissants and thankfully, success arrived just before the clocks changed for summer. Rather than employ normal chocolate, nirvana came from dark chocolate with something like 90% cacoa, safe for Diabetics and, to be fair, pretty disgusting otherwise. But grating the stuff and embedding a layer into my bread mix, once the dough had sat for an hour or two, created a dough which, when cooked, took me back to Munich and the perfect croissant.

 

No matter how kindly I’m inclined toward Germany (just because of a croissant!), it looks certain Deutsche Bank are in quite a bit of trouble. Weakness continuing below 7.94 looks very capable of an attempt at 7.04 next with secondary, if broken, at 6.83. The proximity of these target levels tends suggest an imminent bounce point, one which is visually hard to justify as overall, there’s a heck of an argument suggesting our croissant inspiration shall eventually bottom at 3.11€

At present, DBK needs above 10.4€ to escape this horrible and ridiculous looking fate, a share price lower than the good old days of Covid-19 and 4.44€. Who knows, perhaps the market shall believe the platitudes from German politicians stating Deutsche Bank is as solid as they come?

 

 

Lloyds Bank managed to assiduously avoid being gapped above 54p in the period since our last analysis,  calling into question any reason for optimism. While manipulation gaps have certainly appeared against Lloyds, the imperative has been to force the price downward, the share price clearly singing from the same songbook as the rest of the banking sector. The situation now is quite caustic, demanding Lloyds trade above 49.5p to next enter a cycle to 51.3p with secondary, if exceeded, calculation at a potentially game changing 56p.

However, the converse is now looking dangerously probable.

Lloyds Banking Group has now closed at the lowest level of 2023, the share price looking dodgy and doubtless reflecting the confidence folk feel, once again, for the prospects for the banking sector. From a glance through internet chat rooms, about the only saving grace was a comment from a team of analysts at Bank of America, suggesting they’ve identified the next market bubble and now is the time to sell shares rather than buy. A fairly straightforward suggestion is, if a bank says one thing, it’s probably the perfect time to do the exact opposite!

 

On the basis the plethora of signals advocating more reversals in bank share prices shall prove correct, Lloyds has the capacity to become troubling, should their share price stumble below 44.9p as reversal to an initial 43p calculates as possible. Breakage of such a target level is troublesome, working out with the chance of a visit to 41.5p, along with a distinct probability of the price closing a session below Red on the chart. This would effectively move the share value from Near Term calculations into Bigger Picture calculations with the opportunity for more energetic reversals, perhaps even kicking off a cycle which shall hopefully bottom eventually around the 29p level.

We live in interesting times.

#FTSE #GOLD

I always had a soft spot for Radio 2’s Ken Bruce, if only because we attended the same primary school, tho’ quite a few years apart. His popular Popmaster quiz show had a question section, asking callers to name the year when something charted. Inevitably, callers were wrong, prompting the show host to utter “One Year Out!”, something which became a catchphrase.

Last weeks FTSE for Friday enacted something similar for ourselves, the potential Short position bouncing from 7205 points on Monday, whereas our secondary target was 7204 points. One Point Out and perhaps the bounce slightly above the 206 point drop implied the potential for strength, even though it was just one point.

And then came Wednesday…

Wednesday decided to trigger our converse Long scenario for the FTSE, the session successfully topping out at 7585 points. Our secondary target had been 7584 points. Again, One Point Out and a successful gain of 174 points.  Perhaps, by beating our gain target by a single point, it also implies the potential for strength.

The mad thing is, last Friday we successfully managed to define both the Low and the High for the coming week, something which wasn’t really our intention. But in producing targets for the near future, the ugly issue of time always appears. We always feel timeframes are a pretty major issue, whereas numbers rarely lie and simply open the door for patience. The aim in our Friday column is to look at both the Big Picture and immediate picture, trying to discover areas where both scenario create similar target levels. With this method, about the best we dare hope is a “within living memory” approach, one which thankfully works out fairly reliably.

But this is certainly the first time we can remember defining the highs and lows of a week on the market. Of course, we’re a little nervous decreeing strength is now upon as “One Point Out” doesn’t present the most confident argument of strength for the future, thanks to a single point only representing 0.13% of movement from a 7410 starting point!

Importantly, the FTSE still has not managed to regain a place above the Blue downtrend since 2018, a pity as this would be almost a “no brainer” signal to imply a cycle upward is expected. The immediate picture presents a scenario, where movement next above 7592 looks capable of dragging the index upward to an initial 7664 points with secondary, if bettered, an impressive 8067 points. If triggered, the market will require to slither below 7500 to make it suddenly unlikely. Maybe it all depends on whether the market intends to trap the FTSE within the Red tramlines on the chart above.

 

Our converse scenario for a short position actually looks more likely.

Trouble now below 7475 points should prove capable of triggering reversal to an initial 7451 points with secondary, if broken, down at 7406 points. Neither reversal potential “sticks the boot in” but there’s a serious issue if our secondary breaks as a visit to 7192 calculates as possible!

 

Have a good weekend. No Formula 1, so expect a boring one.

#SP500 #Japan225

The former boss of Sainsbury blamed Brexit for “horribly hurting” supermarkets, doubtless pausing his perusal of “Which Private Jet” to feed a clickbait headline. There can be little doubt UK supermarkets are guilty of profiteering at present, something anyone who’s been involved with retail will know. Even Lidl, while issuing a robust response to the accusation, failed to offer any defence to their price rises when presented with examples. At risk of going “Daily Mail”, they’re all at it.

Or are they?

Folk who’ve been active in retail at a senior level learn fairly quickly how easy it is to make enhanced profits in time of turmoil. Oil tanker drivers on strike, forecourts closed? Record profits. Sugar shortages across the UK, record profits. Power cuts restricting trading hours, record profits. Hot weather causing ice cream shortages, record profits. The list is literally endless with Lockdown being a conspicuous exception to the rule. Except those business which survived are being afforded the chance to get away with boosting prices without any real criticism. One oddball to these scenario is our local petrol station here in Argyll, their forecourt prices proving sufficient to justify paying the return vehicle trip from the mainland. Their secret, a fabulous grocery section and a captive market where they quickly realise any error in pricing.

To be mildly ridiculous, when milk moved from £1.10 to £1.90 for the four pint cartons, folk stopped buying, the price came down. The first warning sign came on a Sunday evening, the dairy shelves usually an empty desert awaiting Mondays deliveries. But as the price was gouged upward, a frantic run to buy milk for the next days latte discovered shelves still full of product.

 

With Tesco, given their position as one of the leading profiteers in groceries and fuel, common sense demands we should anticipate continued record profits for the company, presumably with commensurate gains in the company share price. After all, “hope” tends prove to be a powerful aphrodisiac for traders who’ll cheerfully assume happy days are here to stay.

The immediate situation allows a scenario, where Tesco exceeding 264p should now trigger price growth to an initial 280p with our longer term secondary, if bettered, at a future 312p and price levels not seen since 2014. This game plan should be fascinating, even allowing for a third target level of 346p should Tesco prove sufficiently strong to close above the Blue downtrend.

 

For everything to go wrong, Tesco share price needs below Red on the chart as such a situation makes reversal to 135p exceedingly probable.

#FTSE #Stoxx50 

Since 2008, Taylor Wimpey has done nothing particularly useful. Okay, we’ll concede their share price hit 4.28p during the Financial crisis, boosting to 240p in the period since, a pretty solid gain for the doubtless millions of traders who lie about these things, fondly remembering the ’56x bagger when they bought at the low and sold at the high. In fairness, most traders tend dwell on their mistakes and missed opportunities, rather than boast about the improbable.

The problem with Taylor Wimpey is fairly straightforward.

Their share price needs exceed 263p to convince us it has made a successful transit from the damage caused by the last major crash, entering a cycle where proper recovery is probable for the longer term. This is a share which topped out at 542p in 2007, is currently trading around 115p, and has essentially struggled during the last fifteen years. So, we’re effectively consigned to looking for any scenario which may boost their share above the 263p level!

How hard can it be as the ruling downtrend is only around 163.741p currently?

Now we think about it, perhaps it shall make more sense to look for reasons why the ruling downtrend may finally be exceeded…

 

The immediate situation demands trades above 125p to trigger share price recovery to an initial 151p and some possible hesitation. Should this level be exceeded, things become a tad more interesting for the longer term, our secondary calculating at 174p and the chance for the builders share price to close above Blue on the chart, laying foundations for future growth in the direction of 226p, maybe even beyond. And there you have it.

All Taylor Wimpey needs to enter a track to an eventual 414p is go up by 10p from current. If only life were so simple. This outpouring of optimism comes with a few inevitable pratt-falls. Glancing at the chart, the visuals imply a strong suggestion of some stutters at the 174p level, the reason being fairly obvious. During 2021, the share price struggled to exceed such a point and there are doubtless a bunch of folk who “invested” at these highs, just begging to get their cash back. Invariably, this will create selling pressure, introducing a hesitation in growth. But the smarter (gulp) traders will notice this time, it has achieved such a price level while trading above the ruling downtrend, resting on the optimistic side of the Blue line. Similarly, the high of 2020 shall doubtless introduce a stutter, should the 226p target appear and once again, all our usual reasons for hesitation apply.

But in this instance, due to “the risk” of substantial growth beyond 226p, closure above this price level invents a seriously good reason to view Taylor Wimpey as a reasonable long term hold.

 

Hopefully nothing such as a banking crisis provides sufficient excuse for this share price to close a session below 84p. Such an event risks triggering reversal to an ultimate bottom of 22p, doubtless an ideal level to open a Long position and hope for the best!

#Gold #Nasdaq

Inevitably, following the discovery of a single flake of gold on a beach at a local river, there was an driving urge to view a Gold share to inspect the market potentials. To come clean, the same beach featured on todays dog walk, unearthing a few other golden flakes with close inspection of a layer of black sand, an area where gold allegedly likes to hide.

It looks very like permission shall be sought from the farmer/landowner to try my luck with a gold panning kit, a very rarely used present from years ago, one of these joke birthday presents men of a certain age tend be presented with every year. It’s currently in the garden shed, at the very back and under a pile of untouched  fishing gear. After all, Scotgold here in Argyll claim to have around 4 tons of gold inside a mountain, their share price constantly failing to reflect any optimism.

However, Shanta Gold appear to be exhibiting some potentials, doubtless related to the constant little nudges upward the US dollar price of gold is experiencing. Currently, we can argue the Big Picture for Gold suggests $2125 as a viable longer term target. Or perhaps it’s to do with the undoubted slick photo’s of their gold extraction operation on their website. As someone addicted to Gold Rush and Bering Sea Gold on telly, the layout of Shanta’s operation makes the North American operations look like heavy machinery scrap yard’s trying to do something else.

 

At present, it looks like Shanta need only close a session above 12p to enter a movement cycle toward an initial 15.3p with secondary, if exceeded, calculating at an important 18.3p. Closure above 18.3p shall be regarded as important for the future, making a longer term 29p a viable proposition. Given the share price is presently trading around 11.8p, it certainly doesn’t need work hard to enact a fairly optimistic breakout for the future.

Their share price needs dig a hole below 9p to suggest trouble approaching, closing a session below Red on the chart and spoiling all our previous calculations.

For now, we suspect Shanta will prove worth watching.
