Diageo Plc doing nicely currently

#Gold #WallSt August always presents various reasons to dislike the markets. The obvious one, it’s holiday time when volumes dip and the markets lose ‘buzz’. Also, if not on holiday, who actually prefers being stuck in doors watching monitors, when it’s a nice day outside. Another, less clear, is from Scotland. It can be difficult typing with severely swollen fingers, thanks to a cocktail of midge bites and horsefly bites. Perhaps staying in doors would be wiser!

A visit to A&E at midnight on a Friday is never fun and with a throat swollen to horror movie dimensions, the start of an extremely unpleasant weekend was ahead. Due to 8 weeks of frankly astounding weather here on Scotland’s West Coast, everything which can eat you is enjoying a fabulous breeding season. Particular stars this year are Horsefly (aka Cleggs), A&E seeing a distressing number of folk suffering bites which, in previous years, were completely un-noticed. It’s something to do with the weather, apparently.

As someone now taking 2,000mg of antibiotics a day, along with industrial strength antihistamine pills, morning and night, the idea of wandering outside ‘taking advantage’ of the sunshine has become abhorrent. Long sleeved shirts are the order of the day, gloves worn, a fine midge hood worn, and if no-one is looking, trousers also tucked into socks. Sitting at the monitors, watching the markets, is no longer such a bad idea while counting the hours until the Scottish weather does what it does best, suddenly cooling down and the wind picking up.

 

As we sit indoors, watching everyone enjoy sitting outdoors, it makes sense to wonder how drinks giant, Diageo, are looking as it has been an age since we reviewed their share price. While the company will certainly have suffered from loss of trade during lockdown, apparently retail sales of alcohol flourished during the worst of the pandemic, doubtless creating a swings and roundabouts scenario for purveyors of necessary home medicine for those missing visiting their local. Such has been the pattern of share price movements since the share soared above its pre-pandemic levels in April, we’re emboldened to present a future movement scenario.

Above 3,629p suggests the potential of coming growth toward an initial 3,743p with secondary, if bettered, at a longer term 3,961p. If the share price follows the pattern of similar shares in North America, we’d expect some volatility at this secondary level, potentially forcing reversal in the future toward 3,609p and ideally, another bounce.

Near term, for things to go horribly wrong, the price needs relax below 3,400p as this threatens reversal to an initial 3,229p. Below such a point, we’d prefer give the dry Martini another stir as the implications for reversal become as unpleasant as the weather here in Argyll. Quite honestly, we never thought we’d reminisce fondly of the year we were stuck in a mountain road snow drift, during August!

Will Barclays reach 290p?

#Brent #Dax With shares, it’s all a matter of where you’re standing! If you’d bought Barclays back in 2013, when the share price was at 300p and the media full of promise for the future, you’re probably a little jaded at the journey you’ve been on, especially as the share is currently 174.5p. Alternately, had you bought the share a year ago, you’d be rather chuffed, the price rising by a solid 74.5% in the interim.

Alas, we should all take a moment for the folk who bought in 2007 and that day in February the share price nearly hit 800p. It’s always said trading shares is a long game but everyone envies those who opted to buy Barclays at 100p, exactly a year ago.

 

Things are starting to look promising, finally, for this share price. We’ve made a fair bit of noise about the 190p level looking crucially important for the longer term. Finally, it appears to be the case some hope is justified for this irritating level to experience a movement attempt. Above just 179p looks capable of an initial 192p with secondary, if exceeded, at 199p. Both ambitions should provide a reasonable chance for Barclays to finally close a session above the critical 190p level, hopefully opening the gates to some proper longer term recovery.

Once the share finds sufficient excuse to close above the 190p level, we regard 240p as exerting a pretty significant influence for the future.

 

We were fairly relieved the recent reversal failed to make it all the way down to our secondary 149p, instead opting to bounce at 156p. Perhaps this implies some strength in the way the market is viewing Barclays. It’s now the case below 161 threatens an initial 143 with secondary, if broken, at a bottom of 128p. Visually this appears unlikely.

Our popular FTSE for Friday

#FreeFutures #FTSE #Gold It’s been a tough week, due to a bereavement, but thankfully with a couple of lighter moments. In fact, in some ways remarkably similar to the moods exhibited by the FTSE. Hysterical hilarity was provided, due to failing to recognise the difference between my wife or daughter’s voice in a phone call. With my wife’s mother passing away in hospital on the mainland, one of the  daughters, notoriously tight fisted, was grumbling at the costs involved in returning her mothers body ‘across the water in Argyll’ for the funeral.

When my phone rang, mistaking my daughters voice for my wife created a dreadful mental image. I thought I heard my wife say, “Lucy is on the ferry with Mum and they’re coming over as passengers!” An immediate vision of the penny pinching woman, somehow getting her mothers body into a wheelchair and pushing it onto the ferry was, for a brief time, quite believable.

My daughter heard the impending explosion in my loud “she has what?”, quickly saying, “It’s me, Jax. I just dropped Lucy and Mum at the ferry terminal”

Once I realised it was my wife and sister on the ferry, a giggle turned into uncontrolled laughter, the story resonating through the family for the rest of the day. I secretly suspect ‘Lucy’ is annoyed for not having thought of the idea.

 

Similarly, the FTSE has spent this week, threatening the worst but finally, on Thursday, it started to make some sense as the market exceeded the weeks high of 7038 points and more importantly, closed the session above 7027 points, thus exceeding the point of trend break for Uptrend #7 and giving hope for the future. From our usual perspective, this is liable to be quite a big deal, were it not for moves internationally against the index’ during Thursday evening. Some fairly sharp reversals have taken place but curiously, Wall St has failed follow the Nasdaq and S&P 500 over a cliff.

Hey, chart goes here

We wonder if the reversals were just nerves from traders, worried at the markets starting to overheat. If this is the case, time will tell. The FTSE needs below 6900 points before hysteria is justified, the market once again risking reversal to 6500 in such a scenario.

Instead, it appears above 7098 points should make a fairly modest attempt at 7114 points near term. If exceeded, our secondary works out at a longer term 7193 points and this is liable to prove a big deal for the longer term. Unfortunately, if this triggers, the stop needs be wide around 7008 points, thanks to the markets showing aggressive movements in attempts to slow down gains.

The alternate scenario, if the FTSE wanders below 7009 points,  calculates with a drop potential toward an initial 6973 points. If broken, our secondary works out at 6905 points, dangerously close to causing real trouble for the market.

 

Finally, we referred to 7193 above as a Big Deal for the longer term. Achieving such a level, while making it almost certain London intends challenge the pre-Covid level of 7550 points, also places the FTSE in a position where 8088 shall be viewed as the ruling big picture influence.

Yet again, our sincere thanks to the kind folk who find adverts by Google on this page worthy of a visit.

Gem Diamonds looking good.

#Gold #SP500 The diamond market is a funny old place. With commodities, you can either weigh them or measure them but diamonds differ, due to their value being a matter of perception. The famous 4C’s of diamond quality; Colour, Clarity, Cut, and Carat Weight join together and the outcome gives a pretty definite number. A 1 carat diamond is worth anywhere between the $2,000 mark and $12,000 US dollars.

Of course, some diamonds completely break the mould. Gem Diamonds were famous for the fabulously pretty Letšeng Diamond, a pink coloured frivolous rock which sold at auction for just under US$9 million. Once polished and cut, the resultant teardrop shape fitted nicely into a gold ring! For those interested in such matters, Gem Diamonds web page has a gallery of “Our Famous Diamonds” which is worth viewing, once you finish pondering the pictures of their massive operations in Lesotho and a truly intimidating hole in the ground.

 

Once finished with the company website but still aghast at the vast sums of money attached to gemstones, we were expecting to be dazzled by the company share price performance. Instead, since 2008, the stock market seems about impressed with their share price as we are with folk who like blatant jewellery. However, in March of this year, their share price finally broke through its long term downtrend and, while not showing any interest in returning to its historical 12 quid level, there are a few useful potentials visible for the future.

The immediate picture is a little confusing, thanks to the price breaking below the Red uptrend since 2020, quite firmly implying we should expect weakness below 57p to drag the share down to 50p next. We’d hope for a bounce from such a level, especially  as if broken, the share could opt to head downhill to a hopeful bottom of 39p. For now, we suspect somewhere around the 50p mark is the market intention.

But it’s not all bad news.

 

Thanks to the price breaking through its immediate Blue downtrend, there’s a reasonable hope the share price is ‘just’ experiencing a complex route for longer term price recovery.

This being the case, any recovery capable of exceeding 71p is liable to prove useful as this looks capable of triggering movement to an initial 93p. Should the 93p level be exceeded, our longer term ambition calculates at 117p, a point where the visuals on the chart demand we again revisit the price to examine future possibilities.

Hey, chart goes here

Again, our thanks to the folk who effectively buy us a daily coffee by finding adverts on this page worth a visit.

Forex GBP/EURO heading to 1.25

#FTSE #Nasdaq Perhaps there’s an opportunity for all these inflatable boats abandoned on the south coast. Surely, holidaymakers from England should make use of them to travel to France, attempting to sneak in below the radar, if unvaccinated. It is a shame so many RIBs (Rigid Inflatable Boats) face a life of single use, when surely there’s a family from Bristol who fancy a stealth holiday. The prospect of the UK media trying to handle such an excursion would be a delight.

Another thing which irritates is GBPEUR. Or, with some Forex trade providers strange insistence, EURGBP only, a strange decision as they are UK based and could be reasonably expected to show the pairing properly. Equally odd, the same providers give GBPUSD headline coverage, never with USDGBP available. It’s all very mysterious and when we’ve asked, the replies never make any logical sense.

 

As it appears those of us who’ve been fully vaccinated are welcome in Europe – or to be more succinct, our money is welcome – it currently appears the UK Pound is due to strengthen against the EURO, rather neatly in time for the holiday season commencing. Certainly, the immediate suggestion is it may be best holding onto Sterling in the relatively near future as a boost to the pairing looks very possible.

Presently trading around 1.1747, the relationship need only strengthen above 1.1760 and it calculates with an initial ambition of 1.1825. Visually, this challenges the previous high of 2021 but while some hesitation is possible, we suspect the pairing shall head higher, if only thanks to the irrational dip a few weeks ago. Above 1.1825 and it becomes pretty easy to produce 1.2006 as a secondary target. At this level, some real nerves can be anticipated with the relationship visually challenging the pre-pandemic highs.

For the longer term, it shall be worth remembering the pair has already broken through the Blue downtrend since 2015 and arithmetically, we can ‘prove’ a distant attraction is coming from a distant looking 1.2505

 

For everything to go pear shaped (or perhaps Boris shaped), things need founder below 1.145 to cause a real headache. We’d regard this as early warning for everything going very wrong.

Once again, many thanks to those nice folk who find adverts on this page sufficiently interesting to visit. Pays for our holiday coffee!

Cineworld Group Plc and a path to 185p

Cineworld Group Plc (LSE:CINE) Perhaps a whimsical fancy but are we edging toward an era, when a ‘Herr Flik’ character shall demand to see our papers, if we attempt to have a night at the movies? Across Europe, a Vaccine Passport appears to be essential, if the holder wants to go to the theatre, cinema’s, restaurants, etc. It shall certainly prove quirky, watching a film showing a dramatic, oppressive regime, fresh in the knowledge we’d to prove our status to view it!

Cineworld share price successfully achieved the target levels given in our review last November. Perhaps more importantly, for a brief period, the share price closed a few sessions above 110p and enjoyed March basking in the realms of unvaccinated optimism for the future. Invariably, the price has fallen back and presents the possibility of some near term opportunity. The reason we were focussed on the 110p level is worth remembering. Closure above this level presented a Big Picture calculation which allowed future price recovery toward 185p. As always with Big Picture calculations, the actual path taken can never be given, just a strong possibility of a target being viable for those blessed with infinite patience.

 

However, near term, there’s an issue with the price. Presently trading around 66p, it needs below 56p to confirm the threat of reversal to 44p and hopefully yet another bounce. Should the share actually close a session below 44p, there’s a very real threat of ongoing reversal to 17p. We suspect the movie chain will need screen the movie Cats for such a disaster to unfold but visually, such a vile target makes some sense. It matches the lows of 2020 and presents an ideal spot for a proper bounce.

 

Near term, we shall be more interested if the share price manages above 70p as this allows recovery to an initial 82p. If bettered, we can calculate a secondary at 102p. In the event the share price manages above 102p, it once again enters a realm where future promotion to an eventual 185p becomes possible.

For now, we suspect it intends head toward 44p, hopefully failing to break such a level and giving a fairly strong level to rebound from.

Shall Lloyds hit 32p?

#Brent #Dax Three weeks ago when we wrote about Lloyds, the share price was at 46.8p. At time of writing, it’s at 45.8p and wonder, as politicians look out their buckets and spades for summer, if the share shall take advantage of Westminster recess to actually do something useful. We doubt it, thanks to the two innocent little circles on the chart, potentially a classic Lady GaGa movement.

When a share price is Gapped Up, followed by a Gap Down, this justifies alarm as the manoeuvre often is a reliable precursor for reversals. Worse, when the manipulation has been used to move a price above a particular trend, then below a trend, the chances for reversal are somewhat enhanced. Staying with the subject of trend lines, another warning occurs when a price mysteriously blips below a trend during the trading session, only for the market to ensure it closes the day above the trend. We’ve painted a pretty Red box around this movement, regarding it as a potential warning signal for coming reversals. All things considered, negative energy is starting to accumulate which suggests Lloyds share price is about to throw a hissy fit.

 

Rather than being alarmed and worrying, this is perhaps one of these occasions when it shall be worth watching and waiting to see if the numbers work out, thanks to the bottom potential showing with considerable reason to provoke a rebound, maybe presenting a sane level at which a position could be taken. Sometimes this sort of thing works out quite well and in this case, it hints placing an open order at 39.5p, perhaps even 33p, may reap rewards. Many folk are afraid of these medium term commitments, preferring the daily buzz of watching the market but there’s a certain satisfaction in placing an order which is a country mile away from the current price, giving it a reasonable “cancel after 30 days” expiration time. We tend think of this sort of thing as ‘fire and forget’ positions. Sometimes, the actual price can take months to make itself known. The recent drop by Rolls Royce to 86p had first been mooted back in March of 2021 and we know of one trader who opted to buy in sheer frustration (boredom) at 102p, just because she was getting fed up renewing her order!

 

Near term, Lloyds Bank needs shrivel below 42p to confirm a reversal cycle toward an initial 39.5p. If broken, we now can calculate a longer term secondary at 32.5 and a price level which visually gives ample hope for a bounce.

Alternately, perhaps we’re being spoofed as the price need only exceed 49 to suggest coming recovery to 52.5p with secondary, if bettered, at 56.5p. Our inclination is to anticipate reversals.

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.
