Trends And Targets

#FTSE #Gold #Dax With minimal fanfare, the FTSE actually has done something interesting for the first time in a year. We’ve been moaning about the repeated trend breaks but unusually, the index broke the NINTH uptrend of the year a week ago, created a new TENTH uptrend. And then, returned above the previous trend. This behaviour generally presages some real market growth.

Goodness knows, the FTSE deserves a break as it has been essentially flatlining since April, using the 7,000 point level as a strange pivot. Hopefully we’re finally witnessing the first early warning for some proper recovery, ideally catching up with European performance. We suspect chasing USA growth levels shall prove an ambition too far. Despite the index currently only 78 points above its 7,000 point pivot, we’re inclined to invest some hope the market has let slip ‘a cunning plan’ for the rest of the year. If we were to rely on conventional trend lines, presently the FTSE needs above 7,380 points to batter its way through the downtrend since 2018. Or alternately, to better 7,550 points to exceed the market high, pre-Covid19.

We probably cannot say this often enough but it’s often NOT the trend which is important but instead, how the market reacts to a trend! In this immediate instance, generally some optimism is called for despite appearing to weave a lot of cloth from a single thread.

Our opening paragraphs suggest optimism, quite neatly ignoring the salient detail Thursday managed to close the day 5 points below the previous day. Visually, it’s not the most disturbing signal as the FTSE now need only exceed 7,131 points to give hope for a near term charge toward 7,181 points. If bettered, our secondary calculates at a useful 7,271 points. The secondary is especially interesting, visually creating a recent “Higher High” and placing the UK index in a scenario, where longer term oomph to 7,547 calculates as possible, rather neatly matching the market level prior to the Pandemic hit.

 

For everything to go pear shaped (our garden pears are bitter this year!),  the FTSE needs below 7,056 to give potential early warning as this allegedly should trigger reversal down to 7,011 points. If broken, our secondary calculates at 6,932 points.

Have a good weekend, hopefully drier than it is here in Argyll.

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

#Brent #DOW With the world anxiously waiting to discover what colour of car Louis Hamilton will be wearing on his head in the coming Russian GP, we decided to take a glance at how the Ruble is doing against the US Dollar. In addition, with some pundits describing the problems at Evergrande as an ‘end of the world’ event, perhaps it shall prove worth glancing at the dead parrot from China!

Apparently, the level of financial problems with China Evergrande are such that they make the 2008 issue with Lehman Brothers look like a dress rehearsal for real contagion problems. The, essentially at core, property company has suffered historically, due to obeying government directives to invest without satisfying themselves of repayment. With rather a lot of defaults, the company finds itself unable to repay bond holders, creating a situation where investors quite literally recently took a senior executive hostage. Obviously, the big fear comes of Evergrande problems infecting the wider markets, if the Chinese government decide to with-hold assistance. Many other talking heads, however, deem Evergrande as “Too Big to Fail” and unlikely to give markets cause to switch into headless chicken mode. We were hoping, following Covid-19, China would be satisfied it had given the world sufficient reason for worry, for a while!

Amusingly, when we opt to employ a ‘Shaded’ chart for Evergrande, the result looks like like a city skyline, the focus of their investments. It’s also perhaps worth remembering the company do actually own property, unlike Lehman which owned financial positions. This critical difference may prove important.

 

We’ve chosen to display the share price from the popular USOTC exchange in New York, the one many people are not aware of. Despite being thought of as the home of ‘Penny Stocks’, the US Over The Counter exchange caters for instruments from young companies, unable to meet the criteria for a “proper” stock market listing. But some notable companies are also listed on USOTC, some even maintaining joint listings in their home country. This includes organisations such as Heineken, Siemers, Deutsche Telecom, Nestle, etc. We did a quick trawl through platforms in an effort to discover how China Evergrande were listed. Where listings did exist, the price was either in HK$ or US$, the latter presumably coming from the USOTC listing.

At present, the NY OTC lists Evergrande at US $10, already substantially below our conventional ‘ultimate bottom’ level of 17 dollars. This effectively places the share in a region where it’s stuffed. From a Big Picture perspective, we cannot calculate a bottom. If we opt to review price movements for 2021 only, it appears there’s a chance weakness below 7.25 may discover the potential of a bounce at 5.6 dollars. If broken, our secondary works out at 0.83 dollars. Please remember, the price is already pretty dire, trading below any Big Picture targets. But the chart certainly serves to remind what the company core business was.

 

US Dollar vs RUB (FX:USDRUB) Despite the chilling visuals of Louis Hamilton’s championship rival walking away from their crash, not bothering to check on his competitor who was sitting with a crashed car on his head, we’re looking forward to this weekends Russian Grand Prix. For this race, the big question isn’t really whether the sole Russian driver has a chance of winning but instead, on which lap will the unfortunate driver again spin off the track! We can also use the event as an excuse to review how the Ruble is doing against the dollar.

The immediate situation is far from clear. Despite the dollar proving quite strong against the Ruble since 2015, there are some early signs of faltering. For instance, at present weakness below 72.2 looks perfectly capable of promoting reversal to an initial 69.20 and a challenge against the long term Red uptrend. Should the pairing manage to close a session below 69.20, we can calculate the potential of a bouncy bottom at 65 eventually.

To escape the potentials of dollar weakness, the relationship needs exceed 74.75 as this threatens recovery toward an initial 76.4 with our longer term secondary, if exceeded, working out at 78 and very probable hesitation.

For now, we suspect the Ruble intends strengthen.

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

#FTSE #France With Argo Blockchain, rather quickly, achieving and slightly exceeding our bounce target given in our July report, the share price is now showing interesting potentials. We should point out, in the market there is no such thing as a “sure thing”. But LSE:ARB, the only Crypto miner listed on the London Exchange, a now showing some strong scenario for the future.

There are a couple of things worthy of note. Back in July, we suspected the share price would bounce before 63p. This was a price level where virtually every logic we employ demanded it must rebound. The reality came a day after our report, the share hitting 82p and failing to drop further. Ideally, this promotes the concept of inherent strength and should this be the case, perhaps it shall prove important the share closed at 173p on Friday 17th Sept, just above our 170p bounce target. With the share price presently trading around 167p, it certainly does not require a great deal of work to create a further positive scenario for the longer term.

Next above 173p calculates with the potential of further recovery to an initial 199p. The visuals imply some hesitation should be anticipated around such a level, if only due to the folk trapped since April of this year opting to Bail at Break Even. Our secondary, should 199p be exceeded, works out at 227p.

An interesting, almost refreshing, aspect of Argo’ share price movements comes from a distinct separation between the crazy swings ‘enjoyed’ by crypto currency, when viewed against price movements of a crypto miner. At times, we wish gold miners would experience such a sensible distance between reality and rumour!

On the chart below, we feature a third level target of 250p, if it all starts moving fast. While some hesitation can be anticipated at such a level, again due to prior behaviour, in the event the share price actually closes a session above 250p, we shall regard it as entering a brave new world with some extremely interesting long term potentials.

Trends and Targets. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

As always, our thanks to those who effectively keep us awash with coffee by visiting adverts on this page.

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

#Gold #SP500 When we previously reviewed GSK back in March, we provided criteria for movement to 1524p. Guess what, the share topped out at 1528p last month, a pretty accurate rise to target. It even closed a session at 1525p, falling pretty firmly since. In an effort to educate ourselves, we opted to read the Wiki page on the company, a truly eye opening experience.

Like most folk, we tend take Big Pharma conspiracy theories with a pinch of salt. But reading how, worldwide, GSK amassed quite an impressive range of fines and convictions for bribery, market manipulation, false claims, failing to recall defective products, even bribing doctors in China with sexual favours, the penny eventually dropped. “Conspiracy nuts” may actually have a point. Of course, GSK are just one of the Big Pharma corporates, rated 6th in the world in 2019, and it’s certain their particular playing field is equally sullied by others in the marketplace. It’s doubtless say to say all the organisations must maintain a department, tasking with sanitising their reputation across the web.

This all made receiving the Covid-19 vaccination something of a non-event as we weren’t even bribed with a lollipop prior to the jag!

 

Since achieving our 1524p target, GSK share price has experienced quite vivid reversals, even managing to wander below the immediate 2021 uptrend. The immediate situation isn’t particularly happy with the share price needing below 1377p to continue a cycle to an initial 1269p. If broken, we would hope for a solid rebound below 1236p makes itself known. If opting for a speculative short position, we can nominate 1,442p as a potential stop loss level.

In the event the company share price somehow manages to close a session above 1442p, some further hope for the longer term looks possible as while we can anticipate a climb hesitating at 1524p (or so) again, we’d now tend hope for continued movement to 1632p with secondary, if bettered, a longer term 1707p. We can calculate higher than 1707p for the future but visually, there’s a heck of an expectation for a price stumble at such a level.

 Trends and Targets. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

As is polite, our thanks to those who “buy us a coffee” by finding adverts on this page worthy of investigation.

#Brent #DaxFutures Our Friday report here for the FTSE proved quite prescient. Our criteria provided a secondary target at 6949 points. The market bottomed at 6941 points. In addition, we’d been a touch hysterical regarding the dangers of an opening second spike. An initial 7096 calculated as possible, the best the market attained being 7092 points in an opening spike!

As expected, the index toddled off, thereafter, in the opposite direction. It almost felt like we’d written the script for the day and now, London needs actually close a session above 7022 to firmly suggest the 9th uptrend break in 11 months isn’t genuine. There are some slight hints it may not be, so we shall be interested if the FTSE staggers above 6994 points on Monday. If so, there’s a pretty fair chance the market may exhibit some surprise gains.

 

Basking in this ointment is Natwest, the share price fluttering around like a fly on steroids. The share has a Blue line, a downtrend since 2007 (arguably, thanks to consolidation) and price movements since August tend confirm the market is paying attention to this trendline. The inset on the chart below shows, aside from a brief break of Blue last week, the market has tended respect the trend and as a result, we’re apparently allowed to hope for gains, rather than a further thumping for the beleaguered share price. Generally, when the market promptly corrects a retreat below a trend, some optimism is suggested. The immediate situation appears quite straightforward as strength above 217p should now provoke a gain to an initial 225p with secondary, if bettered, at a longer term 251p.

Conventional “rules of engagement” suggest above 225p should prove significant for the longer term, taking the share price into territory conventionally described as happy. Perhaps this shall prove the case, if we could only forget about Brexit and Covid-19.

Trends and Targets. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

 

GOLD USD is behaving a bit oddly, obviously capable of giving the mining sector a bit of a hammering if our fears play out. Mining sector shares rarely flourish when the price of gold melts down. At present, below 1739 should provide early warning of potential trouble. This risks triggering reversal to an initial 1720 and hopefully a proper rebound. The greater danger appears should 1720 break as this risks ongoing drilling down toward 1623 dollars.

Such a calamity allows a further calculation, should 1623 break, with ongoing excavation to an eventual bottom of 1450.

At present, the value requires above 1837 to create a scenario for future gains, given an initial potential at 1862 with secondary, if bettered,  at 1950 dollars. Such frivolity would place the metal in sight of a future 2079 high, should everything become flamboyant!

As ever, our thanks to the kind folk who buy us a coffee, every time an advert of this page catches the eye. Aye.

#FreeFutures

“Wake up Calls” come in all forms. While we await the FTSE experiencing its own one, a personal incident occurred at 07.15am on Thursday. My phone started its self-congratulatory alarm tone, demanding it be shut off. Unusually, there wasn’t the standard “Dismiss” notification, so through tired eyes, I entered the usual Samsung “Close All Applications” screen to buy myself some piece and quiet.

It kept going.

I told the phone to restart itself. The noise continued.

I tore the phone out of its protective case, removed the back, removed the battery. The noise continued.

My wife, plaintively, said, “Maybe it’s holding a residual charge”.

I stuffed the Galaxy Note under the pillow, the case and the battery on the bedside table. This didn’t even diminish the beeping.

Then I noticed my wife’s phone was also on my bedside table. Unusually, she’d set an alarm as we’d a big delivery due, the time unspecified. At bedtime, we’d also swapped sides on the bed, a last ditch effort to try and find the cause of her sore back. It can be assumed, my humour had slightly improved by the time the FTSE opened at 08.00am, the hi-jinx 20 point swing in the opening minute tending confirm the day was going to be confusing.  Needless to say, it was, and rather spitefully, our delivery arrived just as London closed at 16.30. And my wife couldn’t help, due to her back…

 

We’ve reason, yet again, to be slightly nervous with the FTSE from a Big Picture perspective. The index is now on its 9th uptrend, since October last year. Most of the ducks appear to be lined up, just awaiting a final trigger for reversal to commence to a potential 6830 points. It’s not a pretty picture and below 6998 points looks like providing the final trigger. In terms of reversals, this certainly isn’t a crash of biblical proportions, but below 6830 would certainly justify real concern. To escape this mess, the FTSE need only close a session above 7069 points.

Trends and Targets. Our incredible past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

 

 

 

As for Friday, the market is mildly interesting as weakness below 7016 points looks capable of triggering reversals to an initial 6985 points. If broken, our secondary calculates at 6949 points. Given the market closed Thursday at 7027 points, very little movement is required to light the touch-paper but we’d advocate extreme caution, if such a trigger is hit by a spike down (again) in the opening minute of trade. The tightest stop appears to be 7059 points.

 

Our alternate scenario comes, should the FTSE stumble above 7059 as this apparently makes 7096 a viable ambition. If exceeded, our secondary is at 7116 points, along with a strong hint of some further recovery in the coming week. The tightest stop, in this game plan, is quite attractive at 7025 points. Our usual caveat, regarding any opening second spike remains..

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.

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

#CAC40 #WallSt We last reviewed Brent as recently as June, warning of implications should the price manage to bubble above the 75.50 dollar mark. Today, noticing the commodity was again tickling this level, panic ensued with an immediate call to our oil dealer. Here in Argyll, we’ve been turning the heating on in evenings as the weather has sharply deteriorated. As there’s no regulatory body keeping an eye on oil prices, heating oil purchases can become an alarming cost, when world oil markets soar. Our tank is being filled this week, the price thankfully not surging yet.

 

The chart below is a weekly view for Brent Crude and the Blue line dates back to 2012 when Brent hit a high of 130 dollars. The market is clearly showing a lot of respect for this trend line and we’re expecting the worst. As a result, we’ve taken a further look at the tea leaves as the visuals now imply the price need only exceed 78 dollars anytime soon with fireworks possible thereafter. From a near term perspective, there are plenty of arguments suggesting such a movement is very possible.

Above the 78 dollar level now suggests continued travel toward $96 initially. If exceeded, our secondary calculation brings the potential of a high at $122. This will doubtless be great news for those holding shares in oil companies. But folk forced to purchase heating oil will doubtless remember the ‘jaw drop’ prices being asked, last time crude oil surged above 100 dollars.

Trends and Targets. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

Our thanks to the kind folk who visit some of the fascinating adverts which appear on this page.
