Trends And Targets

#Gold #Dax  We’d to smile at the cover photo of Watkin Jones website. A construction building, littered with a bunch of folk wearing white hard hats and not a single real worker in sight, the lack of yellow or blue hard hats telling an unfortunate story as to who was viewed as important in getting the photo. In a different way, a recent article from Hong Kong managed to raise eyebrows, due to some workers on mainland China testing their hard hats for impact resistance.

It transpired the yellow hard hats issued to staff could barely resist a brick dropped from 2 metres, while white and blue hard hats were brick resistant up to 20 metres and above. The tale, emanating from a less regulative working environment, doubtless has its roots in someone saving money. From a UK perspective, it would never occur different colour hats had different safety standards.

 

Describing themselves as the UK’s leading “Residential for Rent Developer and Operator”, Watkin Jones certainly boast a portfolio of impressive projects, along with a less than impressive decline in their share price in recent years. Currently trading around 36p, investors must be feeling the pain from the decline from 280p at the start of 2022. However, we think we’ve maybe got some good news to impart. Arithmetically, we often calculate something called “Ultimate Bottom”, a share price level below which we cannot calculate.

In the case of Watkin Jones, our “Ultimate Bottom” works out at 35p and the share is certainly within sniffing distance of such a target. We can work out a number below the 35p level and it’s a bit dubious, thanks to the repeated circled gap-downs experienced but in theory, if 35p breaks, 6p can be presented as a future target. But this 6p could easily be nonsense, due to the level of guesswork required, thanks to the manipulation gaps. From a Big Picture standpoint, below 35p only should supply target levels prefaced with impossible minus signs.

So there’s hope for a share price bounce anytime soon as there’s very little in the way of wiggle room for more reversals. Above 43p should prove interesting, calculating with the potential of a lift to an initial 55p with secondary, if beaten, at 65p. To be honest, we’d really hope to see the share price gapped UP soon, due to such a movement tending indicate the market acknowledges it’s overcooked the level of reversals and in such a scenario, we’d anticipate stronger price recovery. Also, in such a scenario, we shall need revisit the numbers, due to it being impossible (currently) to calculate higher than 65p.

This is obviously now in fingers crossed territory but we suspect it shall prove worth watching in the days ahead.

#Brent #SP500  The Perpetual Motion Machine, long an ambition of inventors everywhere, faces an interesting challenge from the UK’s banking sector. With very little effort, the UK appears to have invented the Perpetual Lack of Motion Machine principal, a group of shares from a sector which was once vibrant and fun, now lead the world in the stakes of “doing sod all”.

 

Perhaps a little frustration is evident here, especially as we chose to zoom out for this report and take a Big Picture stance. This is where the sad reality of Lloyds hit home. We can present arguments which lead to an eventual 223p sometime in the future but, to be honest, we utterly lack any confidence in the sector. There’s an immediate scenario we can suggest, one where above 47p should next lead to 52p with secondary, if exceeded, working out at a longer term 59p. This secondary, from a Big Picture viewpoint, is theoretically interesting, taking the share price above a downtrend (Blue) which dates back to 2009.

Visually, there’s a chance of hope with such a motion. With any other share, we’d certainly be raising eyebrows as the price would be exceeding a very obvious long term downtrend. What bothers us, quite a lot, has been the effort employed over the last 14 years to ensure Lloyds shareholders remain suffering, their funds on a long term holiday with little hope of solution. It often feels like it’s going to be the case, where sometime in the future, exploring an attic, people will discover a box full of ornate share certificates from Lloyds. The level of excitement at such a discovery will doubtless be high, right up until the point when the date is checked, along with an immediate realisation the fancy looking certificates are worth nothing, other than as a curiosity. Personally, making a similar discovery amongst grand-parents possessions allowed for a dream of unequalled wealth, when a cache of Pacific & Orient (P&O) shares were unearthed. The harsh reality was, the only person who got rich from these fancy looking share certificates was the printing company who produced them.

About the nicest thing we dare say for Lloyds is closure above 59p may provide the foundation for long term price recovery but we’re not holding our breath. But on the bright side, there’s now an excuse for a headline, “Will Lloyds Hit A Miracle 223p?”

More probably, below 40p looks dangerous, calculating with the potential of weakness to an initial 35p next. Should such a level break, our secondary works out at an unlikely feeling 23p.

FTSE for Friday (FTSE:UKX)  Once again, something quite curious happened with the FTSE, this time providing what we think it a “teachable moment” with the index value. We very rarely decorate our articles with minute-by-minute charts, not because we don’t use them but because we do! And it’s usually impossible to highlight whatever we’re moaning about.

Thursday did something different and for a change, we can explain it in English.

When the FTSE dived below 7584 just before 9am, it created a set of circumstances where we expected the index to bounce around 7550 points. By 9.30am, it was clear the 7550 level wasn’t going to hold, creating a scenario where an overall retreat toward the 7400 level became possible. After all, the market had broken the easily defined uptrend since August 21st and worse, had exceeded our initial drop target. All things considered, it looked like the UK index faced a pretty vile reversal cycle. Making matters worse, once the index broke our 7550 target, it recovered, precisely banged against this target level and said “nope”, dropping further next time, reaching a low of 7524 points.

We started to suspect a dreadful afternoon was ahead, once the USA decided to inflict whatever set of dire figures they had tucked away.

But by 11am, the market recovered, once again above the 7550 level and this time looking keen to make its own way in the world, regardless of how many of our boxes it ticked. And just after 3pm, the FTSE exceeded the level of previous trend break at 7584, ticking yet another box, one which claims all previous drop characteristics were fakes. This is usually a fairly reliable signal and when, at 4pm, the market clawed its way once again above the Red uptrend on the chart, we were left with little choice but to anticipate further recovery for the market.

It was, from our perspective, all a little strange and reminding of a deliberate curved ball to fool everyone. We’re inclined to suspect Friday shall provide “surprise” recovery for London.

 

Now, we can review the Blue downtrend on the chart, one which dates back to February of this year and a chalk mark the index seems to be paying attention to. At time of writing, to exceed Blue, the index needs exceed around 7676.122 points. Near term, above 7606 points calculates with the potential of a lift to 7652 points. If exceeded, our secondary works out at 7681 points. The brightest thing about this scenario is the availability of a reasonably tight stop loss at 7584 points, the level of yesterdays trend break.

We’re aware this secondary target level implies the potential for the index to rejoin the sunny side of life above Blue on the chart, working out with a reasonable longer term chance at 7750 points and perhaps beyond.

 

Our alternate scenario has the pleasure of standing on a bit of Lego with bare feet. Below 7524 should be dangerous, now allowing for weakness to an initial 7480 points with secondary, if broken, at an eventual 7392 points and hopefully a trampoline level.

Have a good weekend. Has anyone noticed the Met Office appear to be starting this winter with “Clickbait” headlines? We expected 60mph winds last night and should have guessed the contrary would be true, due to not a single boat owner moving their craft to safe haven across at the local marina.

#Stoxx50 #DAX There are times when it can pay dividends to take a really big picture view of something. Back in January, we reviewed Sterling vs US Dollar with a calculation which suggested the price risked challenging the Blue downtrend. As the months rolled beneath us, the pairing eventually issued such a challenge, topping out at 1.315 in July before retreating in confusion. What interested us about this was our calculation, back in January, gave 1.333 as a viable ambition, this number obviously declining every month. When the relationship hit 1.315, we’d no calculations giving such an ambition and the only thing capable of provoking reversal was the Blue downtrend.

Sometimes, trend lines can be important, especially as our raison d’être is to monitor how prices are reacting to trend lines. Sometimes, after all, they can just be meaningless crayon lines but in this instance, it seems clear the markets are regarding Blue as important. Should this be the case, Blue currently represents a level of 1.3039.229 (roughly) and above such, it seems a Long position should reward anyone speculating.

After all, it’s not often we are presented with tangible proof the market views a particular trend line as important.

 

Alas, since the relationship attempted a challenge of Blue, things appear be going horribly wrong for Sterling as its retreat against the US Dollar has proven quite merciless. Currently, it’s the case where below 1.2110 presents the potential of relaxation to an initial 1.2081. While this isn’t a massive drop in the grand scheme of things, a visit to 1.2081 will represent a price level around which we’d conventionally hope for a solid bounce. The implication, should 1.2081 break, allows our calculation giving 1.1710 as viable. And should this level be trashed, we can even supply a third drop target at 1.1512 as a point by which the pairing really must rebound. Unfortunately, if daring to ride this dodgy gravy train to the bottom, it appears the tightest stop loss level shall require to be quite wide at 1.2880 though there’s a vague chance 1.2556 shall suffice for a bunch of complex reasons.

Our reading of the recovery prospects is muddied by a demand to take a time element into consideration. Above 1.2556 calculates with the potential of a lift to 1.2976, potentially with the chance of breaking above Blue on the chart and triggering some proper recovery for Sterling. Such a scenario currently allows for recovery to 1.3393 with secondary, a longer term 1.4513. This sort of thing is liable to become game changing for the future, taking Sterling into unfamiliar territory where a future surge to 1.71 becomes possible.

#FTSE #Nasdaq  When we reviewed JP Sports back in May, it was with an expectation the future looked fairly rosy. It only needed a share price which exceeded 179p to trigger some movement of substance. Unfortunately, the period since has seen the price behave as if the company had appointed Russel Brand as their public face.

What really came as a surprise was scanning the company’s operations as we’d never appreciated how strongly this organisation, from Bury, was expanding throughout the known universe. Surely questions must be asked as to why the rag trade manufacturer featured in ‘Coronation St’, presumably from the same part of the world as JD, has failed to flourish over the years… This question only arises, because it transpires my wife’s Coronation St addiction is the ONLY reason we remain with a TV licence! If only they’d bring back Top Gear or Formula 1.

 

For JD Sports, it remains a puzzle why people attach any value to choosing a product due to a logo. Recently gifted a pair of trainers from Nike, they were returned, claiming a flat feet issue made wearing them impossible. However, for JD Sports, their own share price appears to be suffering its own flat feet issue, failing to do anything of particular note.

It is currently the case where above 150p should apparently trigger share price recovery to an initial 161p. Visually, there’s an expectation of hesitation at such a target level, given the presence of the downtrend since 2022. Our longer term secondary, if exceeded, works out at a confident looking 185p, this time with almost certain hesitation as this price will challenge a series of highs from the start of this year. Plenty of folk who’ve seen their investment trapped in the 180’s since February can be expected to contribute some selling pressure at the opportunity to regain their funds without any significant loss.

Should things intend go pear shaped, below 133p risks provoking real trouble, allowing for reversal to an initial 115p. Closure below 115p risks becoming absurdly troubling, dumping the share price into a region where a cycle to 64p becomes possible.

This one is a little bit worrying as the share has carefully avoided triggering growth. However, presumably they shall avoid being perceived as doing deals in car parks for the future and perhaps allowing confidence to return to the share price.

#Gold #SP500 The term Yellowcake is always something I’ve a personal fondness for. While never having harboured an ambition to sit down and tuck into a nice bowl of Uranium, the term yellow cake was employed when I was a child to keep me out of the kitchen when either my mother or sister were cooking. The reasoning was quite straightforward, due to a potentially fatal allergy to egg.

If either family member was baking, the point at which egg was added to any mix turned it a sickly yellow, warning me to keep far away from whatever was being prepped. This would apply to scones, bread and butter pudding, cake (obviously) or even bread being painted with the stuff prior to being shoved in the oven. Sometimes, I suspect eggs were not involved and it was all just an excuse to give them some peace to cook and a child’s fingers away from any cans of condensed milk, a personal kryptonite. Such was this unfulfilled longing, when I purchased my first flat, I clearly remember buying a large can of condensed milk and sitting down in my own kitchen to privately devour it. It transpired the task was beyond any immediate greed, a long held ambition defeated by the relentless sweet contents. Oddly, this was all it took to cure me of such an addiction.

But I still distrust Yellow cake with similar alarm to yellow snow…

 

When we previously reviewed Uranium “speculator” Yellow Cake back in March, we’d given three potential target levels. A few of our clients believe, quite firmly, Uranium is a product whose turn is coming and with the easing of society fears for the nuclear industry (doubtless assisted by a now compliant media who’ve abandoned their prior hysterical stance), we shouldn’t be surprised this share price has achieved every one of our target levels.

Currently, Yellow Cake face a bit of a problem from our perspective.

The immediate situation suggests movement above 568p should make an attempt at 572p next with our secondary, if exceeded, working out at a longer term 655p. In the normal scheme of things, we’d anticipate some hesitation at the 572p level as the share price is getting close to the top end of our calculations. We shall be interested if the market once again chooses to gap the price upward as this should make it clear there are expectations for Yellow Cake in the future above 655p.

Visually, the recent nudge above 500p looks like it was inflicted, just to avoid the 5 quid level becoming entrenched as a point of resistance. This is certainly an interesting share, not least due to a suspicion our upper target of 655p shall become a footnote, proving just because we cannot calculate higher, it doesn’t mean the price cannot continue north.

 

If things intend go wrong, below 450 risks becoming troublesome, allowing for reversal down to an initial 415 with our longer term secondary, if broken, working out at 363p.

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

#Brent #Dax  With spectacular levels of competence, we managed to miss TWO international championships at the weekend. Firstly, there was the Grand Prix from Japan and secondly, there was the World Stone Skimming Championship in Scotland. Being in Scotland, it was easier to opt to attend our local event, World Stone Skimming, which was scheduled for the isle of Easdale in Argyll.

We’ve been promising ourselves a day out to Easdale for years. As the place is virtually on our doorstep, we’ve obviously never bothered visiting since moving to Argyll, this attitude generally being the fate of local attractions throughout the UK. However, we’d decided to take this event seriously, planning on leaving at 9am rather than enjoy a lazy Sunday watching the usually entertaining Japanese Grand Prix. The journey to Easdale started with light rain but thankfully deserted roads but the weather steadily worsened as we headed north.  Stopping to let the dog out alongside the Crinnan Canal, the question arose as to whether we really wanted to spend Sunday afternoon in now torrential rain, watching people throw stones at water? Easdale, once renowned for its slate quarries, is hard to visit without skimming flat stones across its dark and threatening deep ponds as, aside from a pub and a chums derelict house, there’s nothing else to do there. We opted to let common sense take over rather than face getting soaked, turned around and chose to stop for lunch at Loch Fyne Oyster Bar on the journey home. Thankfully, the dog likes shellfish…

And that’s how easy it is to miss two championship events, though the “highlights” show from Japan was interesting as the TV producers proved unable to edit out many laps of the race, due to it once again being quite good. It’s a strange sentiment, praising Formula 1 because some real racing actually took place!

 

Alas, for Barclays, their share price movements remain open to some sniffs of distain. When we reviewed the share three weeks ago, we’d given an initial gain target at 160p, something achieved recently. In fact, on the day of the initial surge to target, their share price closed at 160.08p and by such a massive 8/100ths of a penny, it was seen to be exceeding our initial ambition, opening the door for great things in the future. We rarely feel confidence from such tiny signals as they often feel like they fall into the “a stopped clock is right twice a day” category of analysis.

However, if we pretend undying optimism, it’s now the case where movement exceeding 163.18p should next make an attempt for 175p with secondary, if exceeded, now calculating at 185p. We’re not terribly impressed with current price movements as they lack real confidence.

Should a slow down be on the cards, below 153.7 risks triggering reversal to an initial 152p with secondary, if broken, down at 150p and hopefully a bounce.  Visually, our fear is of a protracted “walk” down the Blue trend line on the chart until sufficient set of circumstances are discovered to allow Barclays to make a future attempt to show some gains.

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.
