Can ITM Power inflate again?

#Gold #Nasdaq

Our previous report on ITM in November 2019 has proven quite extraordinary. We’d the courage to show some future targets on the illustrative charts but opted to “bottle it” in the text. To be honest, the only thing which permitted movement from 80p to 248p was a calculation, rather than any specific chart logic. Not only did the price reach 248p, it was gapped above this level in 2020 and somehow made its way to 724p eventually!

 

We had been impressed at the company technological Hydrogen Cell base and it certainly appears the market was equally fascinated. However, on the chart below, we’ve circled something which bothers us a little. Since March 2020, there has been a pretty solidly defined uptrend and earlier this month, the share price briefly spiked below the uptrend. As we’ve mentioned previously, this sort of one session event can often be taken as a warning signal, the market essentially broadcasting the uptrend cannot be trusted.

If this is indeed the case, weakness next below 356p risks promoting trouble, allowing reversal to an initial 231p with secondary, if broken, calculating at a bottom of 155p. Visually, there are plenty of arguments favouring a bounce at the 231p level.

 

Perhaps we’re being too negative, reading too much into whatever happened on October 6th!

 

Presently trading around 442p, the share price now needs exceed 479p as this, allegedly, should trigger price recovery to 580p. If playing safe, waiting until the share price closes above Blue (currently 504p), should make some sense. Our longer term secondary, should 580p be exceeded, works out at 676p. The chart visuals suggest some hesitation at such a level.

BT Group, a class act or class action?

BT Group (LSE:BT.A)

When we reviewed BT in April, we gave criteria for movement toward the 200p level. This was a pretty concise success but we forgot our promise to recalculate should such a level make an appearance. The period since has been dire, the share price opting to mimic their customer service, coming completely unwound. There’s now an issue making itself known, probably not helped by the latest news of their policy of overcharging customers which has resulted in a class action.

 

From our perspective, it’s all about the 134p share price level. Given the share is presently trading around 137p, very little work is required to hit our next reversal trigger, one with some interesting (but with potentially useful) consequences.

Below 134p now threatens reversal to an initial 111p. Our secondary, if the initial target breaks, is a fascinating 100p. The secondary rates special interest, thanks to the presence of the Red line on the chart. This level dates back to the market crash of 2009, a trend which the market has proven extremely shy of breaking below. Even last year, with all the pandemic trauma, despite a flurry of intraday movements nodding below Red, the stock market was extremely careful to ensure the share price closed on the line, never below. We’ve shown this extraordinary period below as it gives considerable hope should our secondary target of 100p make an appearance anytime soon.

Hey, chart goes here

Essentially, reaching 100p comes with a reasonable chance a bounce can be expected. If opting to try a Long position, a stop loss could be emplaced just below last years low of 94p though, we must point out we’re nowhere near a position where we can speculate how high any rebound may extend. At present, the share price needs better 139p to give the potential of movement to an initial 146p with secondary, if bettered, a longer term 156p. Unfortunately, the current visuals suggest the market expects BT.A shares to fall a bit further and this is why we point out the 100p level may be worth keeping an eye on.

Will The Hut Group recover?

#Gold #WallSt With considerable disappointment, we came to realise The Hut Group have absolutely nothing to do with garden huts. As we’re currently building a new garden hut, it would have been nice to discover a real synergy with the subject of our report. A visit to their Wikipedia page quickly reveals THG to be a truly impressive organisation, based in Manchester but with sales predominantly outwith our shores.

 

Floated on the LSE just a year ago, the company were excluded from membership of the FTSE 100 due to certain areas of corporate governance. A recent effort to unveil their future strategy to investors saw the market celebrate by plunging their share price from 457p down to 248p over just a couple of sessions. It was not a pretty site but, from our perspective, the drop was incredibly precise from an arithmetic viewpoint, especially as we couldn’t produce any target level below 248p. This, it appeared, was to be regarded as “ultimate bottom” at that time. In the period since, an announcement of a change to their CEO’s so called “golden share”, is regarded as an attempt to regain the confidence of the city and allow the company to apply to join the FTSE100 next year.

If this is indeed the case, we need examine criteria which should justify further price recovery.

Presently trading around 348p, the price need only exceed 370p to promote further movement to an initial 401p. If bettered, we can calculate a secondary at 448p. While the secondary effectively matches the share price highs in the days prior to their fateful fall, any expectation of some hesitation will doubtless prove justified but there’s an important detail worthy of consideration. In the even the share actually closes a session an iota above 448p, a new cycle becomes possible with the potential of 489p in the future, perhaps even an astounding 687p. We shall need revisit price movements, if it ever successfully closes above 448p, just to confirm these numbers.

After all, they’re almost too good.

Unfortunately, the machine in question was a 1949 AJS 500, a sod of a machine which usually broke down, needing pushed home when I ventured out.

Needless to say, I loved it, even the day I fractured my neck (and still had to push the damaged bike home). Years later, an X-ray revealed the historical damage but I still recall the bang when my helmet touched down first. Perhaps this is a strange way to start writing this weeks banking article and, while it’s tempting to draw analogies with banging ones head off a brick wall, the truth is stranger. Someone emailed asking if we’d take a look at an Australian company called “BSA”. Immediately remembering another British machine which needed pushed, often (A BSA Bantam), any assumption the Australian BSA were a reincarnation of the UK company proved incorrect. They’re a technical services contracting company and their share price is pretty boring at 0.28 AUD. Only if it wanders above 0.4AUD shall it risk becoming useful.

 

Bank of America, unlike BSA, already looks capable of some useful movement. Around a year ago, Warren Buffet bought BoA share price at somewhere around the $24US mark, almost doubling his $2bn investment value while the rest of the world coughs politely in the background. With US earnings season announcements proving positive, we shall be fascinated if the share price wanders above $47. Presently, the share is trading around $46.4, so this isn’t one of these vaguely distant potentials.  Above the trigger calculates with the potential of further growth toward an initial 49.1 with secondary, if bettered, at $51.8 sometime in the future.

We cannot calculate above this level presently as it implies a new high for the price. However, we suspect some hesitation, should $51.8 make itself known. The share price needs diminish below $38 to justify panic.

Hey, chart goes here

Lloyds Bank. Lloyds, yet again did something useful following our previous update. Presently trading around 49.1p, the share price met our recovery scenario and moved, pretty precisely, to our target levels. Now, the situation exists where we can advance another set of circumstances, this time presenting some rather more useful target levels.

Hey, chart goes here

Above just 49.3p currently looks perfectly capable of triggering a nod in the direction of 51.9p. Our secondary, if such a target level exceeded, calculates at 54.7p, pretty close to the pre-pandemic high. Should the share price follow the footsteps of BoA above, some reversal is probable at this level, hopefully short lived. It would be especially nice if Lloyds followed a similar upward trajectory but we’re not inclined to hold our breath!

FTSE for FRIDAY & Wall St too!

#FTSE #GOLD

There are early signs the market(s) are poised for further recovery/growth. Wall St, the Dow Jones, is a case in point, the index managing to clear the immediate downtrend. If we’re honest, reversals through September felt similar to one of these ridiculous “it has to go down, before it goes up” moments.

The funny thing is, the primary US market has been essentially flatlining since May this year, albeit a flatline with a 1,000 point variance. However, traders were not short of complaints regarding the lack of interesting market activity. The big question we need ask is fairly important; Are there sufficient forces in play to take the market above the flatline? Will we see new all time highs?

The immediate situation suggests near term traffic above 34930 points allows recovery to an initial 35078 points. If bettered, our secondary calculates at a healthy sounding 35401 points. While the visuals indicate the potential of some hesitation at our secondary level, we’re not entirely sold on the idea thanks to how well defined the immediate Blue downtrend has been. Instead, we suspect our secondary shall be exceeded, allowing a Big Picture potential of further growth to a new all time high level of 36130, maybe even higher.

For everything to start going horribly wrong for The Dow, the index needs below 33800 points. At present, nothing threatens such reversal.

Hey, chart goes here

FTSE for FRIDAY The FTSE looks like some gains are possible but once again, we need point out our sense of time is ridiculous! It was to take almost a week until the market made it successfully to our target, achieving a high of 7216 points on Thursday.

Hey, chart goes here

This time around, we remain hopeful for the UK market, the immediate situation suggesting movement above 7216 points should aspire to an initial tame 7230 points. To be fair, we’re inclined to ignore this potential, instead preferring to treat 7230 as a proper trigger level. The tightest stop looks like 7187 points.

Above 7230 currently calculates with the potential of growth to 7262 points. If bettered, our secondary works out at 7330 points. In fact, we can even extrapolate a very possible third level at 7355 points. This third level is liable to become a bit of a problem, impacting the downtrend since 2018.

 

If things intend go wrong, the FTSE needs weaken below 7157 points as this works out with an initial reversal target of 7123. If broken, our secondary is a bit more traumatic at 7070 points and hopefully a bounce, the movement itself being viewed as an attempt to slow down a market which is heating up.

The Coal with RWE.ag & Arch Res.

#WallStreet & #DAX There’s something faintly silly about the forthcoming “Climate Change” conference in Glasgow, the COP26 affair. Glasgow, the one place in the UK where the climate never changes, always untrustworthy.  We are curious how some of the coal miners listed internationally are doing, from RWE.ag in Germany to Arch Resources in the USA.

After all, coal is universally frowned upon as a source of energy. Even the rocket which took Capt Kirk (Wm Shatner) into space today wasn’t coal powered…

While it appears true to say RWE.AG haven’t avoided controversy in Germany, their share present (currently around 31€) has risen quite firmly from its low of 9€ back in 2015. Even the pandemic thrashing in 2020 ‘only’ provoked reversal to the 20€ mark, the price achieving new highs in the period since. However, the company have a fair distance to climb, if the all time high of 100€ in 2008 shall ever be challenged again. A glance at the internet reveals RWE intend reduce their dependence on coal, during the next few years.

The immediate situation with RWE allows movement above just 33 to provoke some gains toward an initial 35.8. If exceeded, we can calculate a longer term secondary at 38.9€, along with the prospect of some hesitation when the price matches this years highs.

The alternate scenario suggests below 29.5€ could trigger reversal to an initial 26.7 with secondary, if broken, a future 21.2€. The surprise from both scenario is nothing forecast is particularly game changing, tending suggest whatever the result of a climate conference, the markets suspect RWE.AG shall remain within a trading pattern developed during the last couple of years.

Hey, chart goes here

Arch Resources, the 2nd largest supplier of coal in the US, and based in St Louis, Missouri, enjoy a share price chart which offers considerable hope for the longer term. Presently trading around the $100 mark, the share price already looks ready to extend gains. If playing safe, above $105.5 calculates with the potential of an initial $118 with secondary, if exceeded, working out at a longer term 149 dollars.

Such is the strength of movement, the share price needs below $72 to allow for weakness down to an initial $44. If broken, our secondary looks impossible, down at $5.7 and a new all time low. Obviously, absolutely nothing currently suggests this as a danger.

About the only thing we can conclude is, despite Coal being the victim of a media campaign, the numbers presently suggest the market isn’t paying attention.

When will Cellular Goods ball come back into play?

#FTSE #CAC40 We previously reviewed Cellular Goods a couple of weeks ago, the share price taking just 4 sessions to reach our initial target 7p. But then, despite exceeding the 7p level with an early lunge to 8.4p, the price has studiously avoided our secondary of 9.1p. To be honest, we’re not terribly concerned, the company website continuing to show updates with launch dates given. In fairness, exceeding our 7p target and swelling to 8.4p is being regarded as a good thing, ideally a sign of the future.

After all, it’s rare for a price to simply keep moving in a single direction. If that were the case, the market would be no fun, would it?

For now, we suspect the number to watch is around 7.675p, this being the level the share price needs exceed currently to exceed the Blue downtrend on the chart. An event such as this apparently calculates with the potential of further movement to 8.65p next. Our ‘longer term’ secondary is debateable, thanks to an absurd logic we employ in-house. Essentially, if the recent surge to 8.4p was “simply” our 7p target being exceeded, we should now give 10.6p as a viable secondary. However, if the surge to 8.4p indicated the share lacking strength to reach 9.1p, then 9.1p must be regarded as the next target. The scenario is a bit of a head-scratcher but, in the absence of negative news flow, we remain optimistic.

 

As always, there’s another side of the coin. Presently trading around 6.9p, the share needs weaken below 5.8p to give pause for concern  This is not an enjoyable picture, introducing the threat of ongoing weakness to 4.8p and a new low.

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.
