Trends And Targets

#WallSt #Brent

When taking the temperature, it can be a useful idea to use a thermometer! When it comes to the mood of the marketplace, Legal & General are one of our “thermometer” shares, essentially a subject which is pretty boring but usually plays by the rules. But… not always.

When we reviewed LGEN last November, we’d a couple of criteria for long term good behaviour, one of which – our ambition of 318p – failed to be achieved with the resultant suspicion of some price weakness being present. In January this year, despite the share price surging upward, the rise arrested at 310p and the story since has been one of failure. The most recent 7 sessions exhibited some traumatic falls, topped off with a few quite strong looking days of recovery, perhaps designed to indicate the price has “bottomed”.

We’re not entirely confident, thanks to something we find terribly important.

From our perspective, the share requires to close a session above roughly 263.565p, this being the level at which the share price broke the uptrend since pandemic day back in March 2020. The price has come close but, in common with very many other shares on Wednesday March 9th 2022, despite a day which felt strong, the lack of share prices closing the session in safe territory was worth commenting on. It certainly provokes a worry, whether we “only” saw the inevitable bounce which will often follow a strong fall, such as experienced last week.

Should this be the case, Legal & General are now at risk where below 242p could easily trigger a reversal cycle to an initial 220p and a possible short term bounce. If broken, our longer term secondary target calculates down at a hopeful 190p. At present, we’ve little choice but to watch for 171p making an appearance as overall, this currently looks like providing a “bottom”.

Thankfully the share doesn’t need work terribly hard to explore our alternate scenario. Closure above just 264p should allegedly trigger some recovery to an initial 294p. If bettered, our secondary works out at 313p, a number with some reasonable implications for the longer term.

Finally, we’ve always a degree of fondness for Legal & General thanks to a chums mistake 13 years ago. Thirteen years ago on March 9th, 2009 (The day the market bottomed), she spent the princely sum of £80 on LGEN shares. She had intended buy £800 worth but made a classic fat finger investment. I think she paid 26p per share and still has them. I know with some certainty she has not bought any shares recently

#FTSE #Nasdaq

Our weekly glance into Europe revealed wind turbine designer and manufacturer have a share price which appears on the verge of doing quite well again. A day spent across on the mainland, visiting Edinburgh, revealed with painful clarity how intrusive these machines are, spreading across the boring landscape beside the motorway. Thankfully, living in a National Park here in Argyll, we are pretty well insulated from the visual blight windfarms bring.

 

Obviously, the Russia thing has been having an affect on share prices but there’s something slightly interesting about the picture Nordex present. Their share price obviously exceeded the pre-pandemic level toward the end of 2020, the period since experiencing strong growth. We’d expected this period of growth to fade away around the 26€ level but the share price almost made it to 30€ before experiencing some reversal. Than something quite odd happened.

Once a series of “higher highs” had been explored, the price commenced reversal, rather neatly down to the level achieved pre-pandemic. We wonder if this sort of behaviour should be anticipated in the UK, when shares start to exceed their pre-pandemic highs. Perhaps, of course, the Russia thing shall derail optimism of course.

 

Near term, the situation feels like movement above 18€ should promote price growth to an initial 21.8 with secondary, if bettered, at 30 euro. In fact, if we’re generous, we can point to a future 37€ as exerting a really distant attraction for this share price. Hopefully none of their windfarm salesmen opt to knock on our door as we’re inclined toward the windmills being placed in the sea or toward the better green option, nuclear power.

For everything to go horribly wrong for Nordex, the share price needs below 12€

#Gold #SP500

Time flies and, just like that, tomorrow is the 13th anniversary of March 9th, 2009. For those who’ve forgotten, or missed all the fun, this represented the point at which the UK markets discovered “bottom” during the financial crisis, that ‘thing’ the retail banks never really recovered from. Recent movements among FTSE 100 constituents are proving a small worry for obvious reasons and it’s possible, rather than facing a “bottom” we’re about to witness the start of something awful.

 

Daily, we scan over 80 shares and, by the close of business on Monday, something quite extraordinary had happened. Over 50% of the shares we monitor had triggered reversals, requiring an unheard of 46 shares requiring their numbers updated. Sometimes, it can be as few as just 8 shares! Unfortunately, now we’re in the position of anticipation some strong reversals, despite the FTSE 100 managing to pull back 200 points from its low on Monday.

Making matters worse, we glanced down a technical ratings table and in the process discovered brokers are suggesting many companies should be rated as ‘Strong Sell’, the guilty parties often being members of the FTSE 100. We’d hoped higher Oil & Gold prices would place a proportionate focus on extraction shares, ideally pulling the market back and while this has happened, we doubt the effect shall remain unless something positive occurs with the Ukraine/Russia thing.

 

Meanwhile, there was Hurricane Energy, a company enjoying a reasonable day on the market, up 7.19% on the day and closing the session at 8.8p. More importantly, it closed the session above the Blue downtrend since 2019, this tending suggest the movements may actually have some strength which shall last. The immediate situation is quite exciting, suggesting strength above 9.35p should next promote movement to an initial 12p. If exceeded, our longer term secondary calculates at 17p.

Overall the share is seen as commencing a cycle to 24p eventually as a major point of interest. Given the relative flatline for the last few years, goodness knows how long it should take.

For everything to go horribly wrong, the share price needs close a session below 8.1p as this risks reversal to an initial 6p with secondary, if broken, at 4.7p, essentially a return to the way things were.

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

Natwest Group (LSE:NWG)

It’s more difficult to find anything positive about Natwest than find any unbiased news source about the Russia/Ukraine mess. Thanks to the Russian broadcaster RT being banned from Europe, an attempt to reach their website produced some worrying internet activity, advising my “Browser was being checked before I could continue”. An unwritten rule of the internet is fairly simple; if something strange happens, close it down and do something else.

As this sort of thing hasn’t been happened when accessing the UK state broadcaster, the BBC, it was certainly time to move on and find something else to moan about. And along came Natwest Group as a willing candidate.

 

Just three weeks ago, we were speculating on the potentials of Natwest entering a future above 3 quid. Unfortunately, everything has gone wrong for the share price and crucially, it has now managed to close a session below 207p, the magically level where the banks price had pierced the downtrend since 2008. This sort of thing is, from our perspective, quite a big deal, thanks to a shocking admission. The Trend isn’t important, it’s how prices behave in relation to The Trend. With Natwest opting to move below the point of trend break, a distinct suggestion is being given we cannot trust the price to move in sympathy with anything which occurred before the trend break. Or in plain English, there’s no longer any certainty Natwest share price shall experience recovery.

The next trigger level is lurking at 201p. Weakness below such a level points at reversal to an initial 191p. This currently paints a picture of another “very bad thing” as it risks the share price moving below Blue on the chart, taking the price back to the clutches of a downtrend from 2008, one which will no longer have any right to be shown on any charts! At this level, things risk getting pretty nasty thanks to weakness below 191p calculating with a secondary drop potential of 157p. Visually this is quite an unhappy image, perhaps suggesting Natwest share price is about to become trapped in a trading range between 150p and 250p for some prolonged time. We can even give a third level (aka less likely) target down at 120p.

Natwest requires something of a miracle to escape this gloomy picture, a miracle which shall be considered delivered if the price somehow manages better 230p anytime soon. We’re not holding our breath.

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.

#FTSE #Gold

Our doom laden outlook against Wall St appeared to strike a few chords, so we guess quite a few folk want to know how bad things could get for the FTSE too, if everything starts to go (even more) horribly wrong with the world. To judge by the number of shares needing updated daily, volatility is currently the name of the game, so perhaps it shall not prove silly to run the numbers against a Big Picture reversal risk.

There is a detail worthy of attention currently. It appears, if we pencil in a trend line since October 2020, the UK stock market has carefully adhered to this Red line, needing close today below 7,228 points to indicate the trend failing. However, if the market intends continue its game of chicken with this historic uptrend, there appears a chance today (Friday) should experience some gains.

In fact, if we opt to play safe, below 7,204 (the previous two lows) looks like singing a song of misery, capable of provoking a reversal cycle to an initial 7,095 with secondary, if broken, at 6,897 points. This secondary target is an issue, taking the FTSE marginally below the uptrend since the pandemic low of 2020 and this risks being a serious Red Flag, ensuring the UK is trading in a zone where “bottom” risks being discovered down around 6,000 points. However, it’s important to remember despite an awful week, calamity has not been triggered yet and we’re essentially just playing with numeric potentials.

As for the FTSE near term as opposed to the above Big Picture,  there’s a bit of an argument anticipating some FTSE gains. At present, the UK index needs trade above 7,280 to suggest a gap upward at the open should be treated with respect. Such a trigger level allegedly allows for gains toward an initial 7,322 points. If bettered, our secondary calculation brings 7,380 to the table. The tightest stop looks wide at 7,230 points.

Our converse reversal scenario suggests near term movement below 7,230 risks promoting reversal to an initial 7,161 points. If broken, our secondary works out at 7,107 points.

Have a good weekend. Only 2 weeks until the next Formula 1 race, sadly without the entertainment on a Russian driver this year.

#Brent #Gold

Every now and then, we gleefully jump at the chance to ridicule chart patterns, often a part of a core belief structure for some traders. In fact, if were were to create a Top 3 of things which do not work for analysis, Moving Averages is #1, Candlestick patterns is #2 with Chart Patterns tying for position at #2. To be blunt, most technical indicators are a complete waste of space unless the trader understands how to “tune” an indicator against historical price behaviour for any specified item.

Unfortunately, in most internet chatrooms, folks will enthuse about what ‘MacD’ points toward, completely unaware the default set of averages supplied for a ‘MacD’ shall be completely wrong unless, by some miracle, they’re discussing a share at the market average price, historically making completely average movements. When you pause to consider this, it should be quickly realised the average share simply doesn’t exist. However…

We’ve often a problem with Tom Bulkowski’s Head & Shoulders chart pattern, ‘cos it sometimes works. Basically the pattern breaks down into a series of emotions, especially against something turbulent.

1. We’ve all confident, it’s going up.
2. Okay, that’s far enough. I’m taking profit and bailing. The price drops.
3. Hey, that share had dropped sharply. Think I’ll jump in.
4. Look, we’ve just passed the previous high. I’m out of here. The price drops.
5. Hey, that share had dropped sharply. Think I’ll jump in.
6. Feels like it’s struggling to match the first high price. I’m nervous and getting out. The price drops.
7. Look at that share. It can’t even reach the level of previous highs. I’m not touching it. The price drops further.

This trading cycle combines to produce the classic Head & Shoulder pattern and when you combine the emotions with the roller coaster, everything starts to make a grudging sense. Unfortunately, when looking at Wall St currently, the index is setting itself up for a bit of a Head & Shoulders moment and we worry about how far the dandruff risks dropping. Our own take on the situation was given in January (link here) when we supplied criteria for reversal from 34,525 to 32,624 points, a drop of 1,901 points. This movement completed at the end of February and crucially, the index failed to close the session below our target level. As a result – from our perspective – the final nail remains absent from the Head & Shoulders coffin which is lurking against the DOW JONES.

The immediate situation (Wall St trading around 33,880 at time of writing) demands the index weaken below 33,090 to enter a cycle which threatens reversal to an initial 31,026 points. Our secondary is relatively close by, lurking at 30,453 and creating a suggestion of a bounce, should such a level appear. Even visually, this would make some sense. To cancel our gloomy outlook, Wall St requires trade above 34,885 points currently.

Finally, something quite curious occurred the day the market hit and broke our 32,624 target level. We’ve shown it on the chart inset but basically, the only reason our target level broke was thanks to Wall Street being “gapped down” at the open on the 24th February. Go figure!

As for Brent Crude, we’ll keep it short and sharp, thanks to the inspired essay above!

The oil market has been showing some impressive high prices and it appears they are close to running out of steam. For Brent Crude, now above $114.80 looks capable of attempting an initial $118.4 next. Should this level be exceeded, our secondary calculation works out at $129.1 and we expect some volatility at such a level. To be blunt, it seems now isn’t the time to rush and open a short as there’s the potential of further growth for the black stuff. Personally, I’m growing to hate folk with electric cars, thanks to the litre price at our local garage of 153p!

#FTSE #Japan

It was to prove a worthwhile exercise, glancing at how major markets are performing this year. Germany is down 15%, Wall St down 13%, France down 12%, the S&P down 15% and the usually dreadful UK market has relaxed from its 2022 high by just 6.5%! As a result, we opted to review another British success story, British American Tobacco…

Sticking with the FTSE for a minute, all the other markets had previously strongly exceeded their Covid-19 high, essentially placing themselves at risk of some reversals should a suitable excuse be discovered. On the other hand, the FTSE only flirted briefly with its prior high levels and it still in a “recovery” zone, whereas other markets were in a “growth” zone. We suspect this is reflected in the FTSE only attaining half the rate of damage to other markets. It’s a strange phenomena, one which we witness all the time with shares, where items which go up fast come down even faster. However, we’re still not ready to start running in circles, declaring “the sky is falling”.

 

We reviewed LSE:BATS last August, giving an upper target at 3434p and the share cheerfully delivered the target, even managing to close very slightly higher at 3439p. This creates a new situation, where the largest cigarette company in the world can now present a new growth scenario. Next above 3459p should enter a cycle toward an initial 3746p next. If exceeded, our longer term secondary comes in at 4188p. It’s always a bit of a puzzle just who is buying cigarettes and even, where can they buy them?

Our local town here in Argyll boasted a tobacconist on the high street. It was a properly old fashioned shop, also carrying a bewildering range of pipe tobacco and of course, some really vulgar pipes. The place became an early victim of Lockdown, announcing the store wasn’t going to reopen. But as to the question of just who is buying tobacco products, it’s easy to suspect many folk do. But as someone who stopped smoking, mingling in the semi-enclosed bicycle sheds placed discretely outside offices everywhere has become a thing of the past. Given LON.BATS share price, it’s pretty certain the company still have a strong market for their output.

 

If things intend go wrong for BATS.L, the price needs fall below 3200p as this risks provoking reversal to 2987p. If broken, our secondary calculation comes along at 2728p, hopefully a level with an excuse for a solid rebound.

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.
