Trends And Targets

#FTSE #GOLD

The weather forecast, here in Argyll, Scotland, suggests a low of 8c and potential high of 19c for Friday. And rain too. Apparently the sun is shining everywhere else though, except upon stock markets, the FTSE now rigidly falling into line with other world markets, following the herd. It’s becoming clear we’re now in full holiday season mode. Even Google News, our internet home page, has stopped leading with invented stories from the media about Russia/Ukraine. Instead they’ve embraced “silly season” and focus on invented stories about the war closer to home, the battle to become the next UK Prime Minister.

In fact, there were only two Russia/Ukraine stories visible this evening and one of them, a so called “fact check”, revealed a video of an army convoy exploding was computer generated from a video game.

 

The point behind our opening paragraph is straightforward. At this time of year, it becomes dangerous to rely on common sense in predicting market direction. There’s currently a heck of a strong argument favouring the last week of July being pretty vile, due to a tranche of economic announcements from the USA which are expected to be viewed negatively. In addition, there are a bunch of US company Earnings Reports, also expected to be poor and capable of provoking severe market reversals.

Will this prove to be the case? We’re not convinced.

It’s certainly still the case we suspect the FTSE shall discover sufficient excuse to head to the 6,800 point level but something quite odd occurred on Thursday. In our morning Futures update, we alerted clients of our expectation the markets would bounce properly at our secondary drop targets. But, aside from Germany and the Stoxx50, other markets bounced just above our secondary targets. Germany opted be break the secondary quite substantially before bouncing, as did the Stoxx. Usually, our thinking allows a break of a secondary to imply further market weakness shall make itself known but the only thing Thursday managed successfully was to send a raft of contrary signals. (The FTSE bounced 9 points ABOVE our secondary, suggesting strength).

We’re trying to convey a lack of confidence about overall market directions for Friday! The FTSE closed the session at 7039 points, down 1.6%.

 

For the FTSE, now below 6996 points looks troubling, calculating with the potential of ongoing reversals to an initial 6967 points. If broken our secondary now looks problematic, working out at a ridiculous looking 6748 points. If the drop triggers, the tightest stop loss level looks like 7052 points.  However, there’s a strong short term argument favouring a bounce at 6967, if it makes an appearance.

 

Our alternate scenario, favouring FTSE gains, suggests FTSE strength bettering 7078 points has the potential of a lift to 7115 points. If bettered, our secondary calculates as (so impressive it’s unlikely) 7233 points. Who knows, maybe the sun shall once again shine on the FTSE.

Have a good weekend, sadly one ruined by the lack of a Formula 1 race.

Finally, the photo below brought a smile. A couple on holiday in their 50′ yacht, decided to drop anchor outside, saving themselves the cost of an overnight berth in the local marina. Somehow or other, they forgot about the tide, providing an unusual sight of such a large vessel ‘high and dry’. The beach, thankfully, is pebble and it refloated a few hours later, the boat now a star on Twitter.

#Gold #Nasdaq

We’re continually asked about Rare Earth companies, Rainbow RE being the latest to invade our mailbox. Needless to say, the company website leads with an inevitable picture of a wind turbine, alone with references to the need for the fabulous magnets used in power generation. Our own fascination with permanent magnet rare earths recently found yet another use for the super strong metals.

A wife with a dangerous addiction to curtains causes problems every few years. It’s rare when changing room curtains is a straightforward job, generally involving new runners and invariably, a different style of curtain tie-backs. The tie-backs are a special nuisance, the curtain industry utterly failing to standardise the way they attach to a wall. With the triumphant air of a magician pulling another pigeon out of his ear, I finally beat the system by using some neodymium magnets. One was discretely glued to the wall, the other attached to the inside of new curtain and like a politician clutching an expense receipt, the new curtains held themselves in place without the benefit of tie-backs. My wife wanted to object, this method clearly breaking all the unwritten rules for curtains, but it was easy, it was invisible, and it worked, the curtain material bunched at the correct level.

Everyone involved in the Rare Earth industry must be constantly amazed at the surprise uses for these metals and Rainbow Rare Earth can take a bow, secure in the knowledge product from Gakara or Phalaborwa isn’t just generating electricity, it may be more gainfully employed holding our curtains back!

 

Armed with this information, we’re understandably puzzled at the immediate lacklustre behaviour of their share price. At time of writing, it’s trading around 12.25p.

 

Some immediate hope appears possible as movement above just 13.25p looks like it shall prove important, calculating with the potential of a lift to 14.5p next with secondary, if bettered, at 15.4p. Visually, this secondary ambition is a slight problem, failing to exceed the most recent share price high back in June. As a result, there appears a certain risk of some hesitation at such a level. Of course, if the company opted to release news their products are poised to revolutionise the curtain tie-back industry, everything could change fast as acceleration to 19.5 works out as very possible. All kidding aside, if the company do have any serious positive news to release, it looks like the 15.5p level would represent an ideal point in time to provide maximum benefit to the share price.

 

If everything intends go horribly wrong, the share needs trade below 10.5p, a visual nightmare and one which risks triggering a reversal cycle with an eventual bottom at 5.25p.

#FTSE #STOXX50

Using an Android App called Feem to routinely transfer files wirelessly between a PC and a tablet, it was easy to accept the naming convention it invents for temporary devices on the network. A tablet may be briefly known as ‘Angry Bunny’, a computer assigned ‘Shiny Grasshopper’. When we came across Brave Bison, it was easy to make as assumption someone in their marketing department had been “inspired” by the Feem App, the name “Brave Bison” making little immediate sense.

Trawling through their website, the origins of the name appear absent but, obvious, is the important detail this Media, Marketing, and Tech company appear to be the real deal. Their client list looks enviable, their listing of international offices impressive, and a history of growth through M&A looks useful. A wry smile was permitted when visiting their Wikipedia page, a warning of “too many buzzwords in use” but given the company are a marketing entity, it wasn’t a surprise.

 

The company share price has proven pretty stagnant for the last few years but now, is starting to give early signs “something” may be happening. We’ve shown an inset on the chart below, the share price breaking though a long term downtrend by the market opting to ‘gap’ the price up. For 5 sessions, exquisite care was taken to ensure the share price didn’t fall below the point of trend break at 1.85p. Logic tends suggest the market has plans for the future and with the share currently trading around 2.1p, Brave Bison doesn’t need stretch its legs too hard to get the price moving.

Above 2.35p looks capable of triggering some growth to an initial 3.2p. Should this level be exceeded, our secondary works out at 3.75p, this being a level where the visual implication is of some hesitation. Only with growth above 3.75p should things become especially useful for the longer term as a stampede to 6p becomes very possible, a level which shall almost certainly represent the start of a new long term chapter in share price recovery.

For everything to go horribly wrong, the share price needs below 1.6p, risking once again joining its American Bison cousins in becoming almost extinct.

#Gold #SP500

By just about every standard, the recent attempted takeover of the ridiculously biased platform “#Twitter” by Elon Musk was doomed to end in tears. The platform, unable (or unwilling) to supply accurate figures relating to the true number of automated accounts (Bot Accounts) which were designed to project bias, revealed it was cancelling around 1 million computer generated accounts per day. The big question is why they even allowed such nonsense to proliferate, given the accounts were overtly designed to sway public opinion against Trump, against Russia, against Johnny Depp, against Scotland and the list goes on. Twitter was never a Social Media platform, instead turning itself into a propaganda machine, providing fake justification for fake headline news.

We abhor ‘Social Media’ for fairly basic reason. Any idiot who thinks “x” will be a good idea can post an opinion online, receiving validation for any ill thought concept within seconds. Suddenly, a genius is convinced he’s in the right, whereas in olden times, a letter to a local newspaper from Mr Angry in Putnam gave plenty of time for reality to cool things down. Unfortunately, the internet is awash with instructions on how to create “Twitter Bots”, ensuring any aspiring Mr Angry can create an army of fake followers, supporting his views.

Okay, it’s a little more complex but you get the idea. Elon Musk discovered Twitter cannot be trusted, pulling out of the original deal; “considering whether the company’s declining business prospects and financial outlook constitute a Company Material Adverse Effect”

Twitter now appears to have a share price in the process of enjoying a little melt-down. The company appear to be exercising a strategy of taking Mr Musk to court to force his to complete the purchase or pay them $1 Billion for pulling out. The flaw in their argument is pretty obvious. To succeed in court, Twitter will need reveal how many of their ‘subscribers’ are actually fake accounts, thus giving Elon Musk the information he required from the outset.

 

The prospects for Twitter’s share price look fairly painful as weakness now below $32 looks capable of triggering further reversals to an initial $22. If broken, our secondary calculates down at $19.5 and hopefully a bounce.

As the chart shows, the share price needs something approaching a miracle to indicate it’s about to return to sanity. Visually, there appears some hope closure above $40 should prove capable of suggesting Mr Musk is starting to take Twitter seriously again but realistically, our inclination is to treat Twitter’s price carefully unless it somehow exceeds the immediate downtrend, presently around the $47 level.

#Brent #Dax

Several generations of folk must look at the retail banking sector on a Monday morning, say to themselves “I don’t like Mondays” and briefly pay mental homage to a distant tune from an Irish pop group. And then, they all move on, an irritating lyric in their head and a bad taste on the tongue as once again, the retail banking sector launches itself into another lacklustre week…

With Natwest share price, there have been fits and starts but unfortunately, the share appears determined to pretend its pre-Pandemic high of 230p represents a barrier as solid as that which separates most UK politicians from the truth. At least the Prime Minister opted to bow to the outrage caused by preferred venue for his next party and cancelled. But equally, we note the media are remaining quiet as to where the replacement shindig shall take place, making us suspect it’s probably going to be just outside Moscow, a luxury country dacha provided by whoever’s sponsoring the wedding.

 

Our cynical nature aside, there’s very little of encouragement going on with Natwest share price. In theory, now above 230p (Blue) should trigger price recovery to an initial 248p. If exceeded, our secondary calculates at a game changing 271p, thanks to the price painting a new “higher high”. We flippantly describe 271p as “game changing”, due to the retail bank consistently failing to give any reason for optimism but, to be fair, achieving such a price level is liable to be quite important, finally injecting genuine hope into the picture as the share price would attack levels not seen since 2019 and respectable days, when the UK wasn’t led by Mr Johnstone. Unfortunately, none of his predecessors to the top job in UK politics managed to accomplish anything particularly spectacular, making us wonder why an effort hasn’t been made to build a genetic clone of Mrs Thatcher, ideally one which comes with an “Off” switch! (As ‘Have I Got News For You’ is currently off our TV screens, we’ve little choice but to be whimsical)

 

If Natwest intends misbehave, the share price currently needs delve below Red (presently 206p) as this risks triggering reversal to an initial 196p with secondary, if broken, at 173p and hopefully a bounce.

#FTSE #STOXX50 

With news the incompetent UK Prime Minister was finally doing the right thing, we’d expected the FTSE to show some flamboyant behaviour but it proved not the case. It’s hard to believe the bloke is hanging onto the job for a few more months, so he can get free use of Chequers, the official PM residence, for his next wedding & the unusual experience of hosting a party without being fined.

This tends encapsulate the impression given by the PM throughout the pandemic, essentially not caring about anything other than personal vanity.

When the PM made his announcement, the FTSE did manage to rise immediately by a fairly trivial 25 points, deciding to stabilise around the 7200 point level for the rest of the session. We certainly could not describe it as a wild celebration by the markets due to Boris’s less than graceful exit. If we’re honest, we still suspect the FTSE is awaiting an excuse for a bit of a bloodletting, thanks to its behaviour since the start of June. Initially, July started with the first couple of trading days showing astoundingly low volumes, making us fear the worst. However, volumes appear to have returned to “normal” levels and the FTSE now requires exceed just 7220 points to kick its way through the immediate Blue downtrend. Thankfully, there are some immediate potentials which suggest slight optimism may be permissible.

 

Currently, above 7220 should prove capable of triggering movement to an initial 7255 points, a modest 35 point rise. If exceeded, our secondary calculates at 7333 points, visually matching the highs of last month doubtless provoking some hesitation for this reason. It’s important we mention our suspicion of a coming near term bloodbath recedes quite dramatically in this scenario, the FTSE proving able to break free of the suspiciously concise Blue downtrend..

 

For things to start going wrong for the FTSE, the index needs flop below 7135 points to risk triggering reversal to an initial 7093 points. In the event this level breaks, things risk becoming quite twitchy as our secondary works out at 6999 points, below the Red uptrend since 2020. This represents a market level which could swiftly lose another 200 points without much effort, should the markets discover news which is perceived as bad.

 

Have a good weekend, the weather looks great and hopefully the Austrian GP proves as entertaining as last weekends efforts from Silverstone.

We’ve hesitated a few times recently, when considering running an analysis as the visuals were not great. Now, we’re wondering if someone at JPMC has rose tinted glasses! If so, there’s probably a job waiting for them at 10 Downing St.

Energy giant E.On, trading in 13 countries across Europe and over 30 worldwide, appear to be trying hardest in the renewable sector. Unfortunately, a glance through Google News reveals customer service remains a particular sector the company fail to excel in, quite the opposite it seems as they were recently ranked in the bottom four suppliers due to their treatment of consumers.

Their share price, doubtless due to the Russia things, now appears to be setting itself up for some dramatics, taking aim at a direction quite the opposite of that mooted by the respected analyst.

 

Presently trading around the 8€ level, weakness now below 7.7 looks very capable of promoting reversal down to an initial 7.3€, along with slight hope of a short lived bounce. However, should 7.3 break, our secondary calculates at 6.6, matching the lows from 5 years ago, and doubtless causing a proper rebound, if only due to the number of folk glancing at a chart.

We do have a cautionary note, should 6.6€ break as we can work out an “ultimate bottom” level down at 5.5€, a level at which the price almost must recoil.

We’re lacking in confidence any rebound shall enjoy sufficient force to reach JPMC’s target of 12.5€

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.
