Trends And Targets

#DaxFutures #Gold In a fit of curiosity, taking the time to discover what Eurasia actually mine provided some interesting information, explaining the massive rise and reversal experienced over the last year. Modern electric vehicles need batteries and batteries need specialist metals. Eurasia, by securing sites in Russia, look capable of producing a strong future for themselves.

The fly in the ointment?

The share price rose on speculation and now, the reality of it being another few years before extraction fully begins in all sites is doubtless allowing weakness to establish. Trader focus naturally wanes, impatience makes itself known and a lack of immediate optimism takes over. There is something painfully familiar with the share price arc and doubtless many private investors face a protracted period, while their money takes a long holiday as it’s trapped at higher prices. However, as ongoing growth of electric vehicles is being virtually legislated, the company shall doubtless get another day in the sun in the years ahead, when full production commences to satisfy the demand from an increasing market.

 

Unfortunately, for now, we’re still concerned for the immediate price potentials. The share has now closed below the levels of two prior closing price lows, creating a dangerous situation. Presently trading around 17.6p, the share need only weaken below 16.25p to bring weakness to an initial 14.5p. If such a level breaks, we’d anticipate the price to bottom at 10p, plus or minus a penny or so. This is thanks to the circled manipulation gap on the chart. We now cannot calculate anything below 10p.

To provide an alternate scenario, the share needs exceed the immediate Blue downtrend. This demands the price better 23p to trigger surprise recovery to 27p with secondary, if exceeded, now at 30p. Visually, there’s an extremely strong argument suggesting a glass ceiling awaits at the 30p level. But should the share manage to actually close a session sometime in the future above 30p, we’re able to provide the potential of a massive jump to an eventual 46p.

 

The bad news; we fear it intends the 10p level eventually.

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

Yet again, many thanks to the kind folk who find adverts on this page interesting. We think of them, every time a coffee is made!

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

#CAC40 #Nasdaq In a stunning movement, #BHP reached a high of 2,504p on 17th August. It was “stunning” for various reasons. When we reviewed the share 9 months ago, our secondary target was at 2,503p. Being just 1p out in target logic for a 25 quid share is quite pleasing. Also, this represented a new post-pandemic High for the company, well deserved given their reported boost in profits and payment of a decent dividend.

Of course, we’d wondered if the announcement of the company intending delisting from the FTSE in London and fleeing to the Sydney exchange would foul things up. On paper, this shouldn’t be an issue for shareholders but there may prove to be a problem with funds which only track FTSE 100 components. Perhaps a bunch of shares may require sold, prior to BHP moving house. But for the FTSE itself, losing BHP may not be a bad thing. The massive capital size of BHP ensures miners price movements can disproportionately effect the FTSE and the loss of the biggest may redress the balance. Then again, if this is so with BHP enjoying All Time Highs, why the heck is the FTSE in such a dire state? Especially when compared to other countries and their national indices.

 

The chart below certainly presents a pretty picture with BHP “only” needing trades now above 2,505p to trigger further growth to 2,575p. If bettered, our longer term secondary calculation comes out with a future 2,751p as a major ambition.

For everything to go pear shaped, BHP share price currently needs weaken below 1,980p. Such a movement looks capable of inspiring greater terror than being offered Vegemite in Australia. Initially, if this level triggers, we’re looking for reversal to 1,793p which is a problem from our perspective. The trend break circled in Red on the chart shows the current growth cycle triggered from 1,800p. Anything capable of driving the price below such a level has dire implication for the longer term, suggesting a painful reversal cycle to 1,558p shall become probable.

Given the companies record profits and stated aims for reorganisation, we’re not currently convinced by any threat of weakness.

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

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

#Gold #SP500 News of a change to Purplebricks business model looks fascinating and we wonder if this shall prove pivotal in arresting the decline of the share price. Already, there’s a heck of an argument promoting the concept of a bounce before 60p and the share price, trading at 62p at time of writing, is already effectively in the bounce zone. The surprising thing comes from reading commentary on what the company intend.

 

Apparently, their plan is to create 600 new jobs, simply by changing the status of their property agents from “self employed” to “employee”. This seemingly attractive idea has a couple of caveats. Those folk currently self employed will need apply for their existing jobs. And there is no certainty of being accepted. In addition, if successful, the new “employee” will be on a 6 month probation period. Any existing property agent who employs staff for admin will also need make them redundant. The change in concept is fascinating, doubtless infuriating many who’ve enjoyed a self employed secure lifestyle as they’ll be aware the only reason Purplebricks are making this movement is to improve company earnings.

After all, no corporate body likes to see ‘their’ profit being diluted!

An eyebrow can be raised with this behaviour, thanks to experience with the major oil companies in the last decade of the 20th century. Each corporate entity really hated the idea of their self employed retailers making money, in some cases a lot of money. Eventually, decisions were made to turn petrol retailers into petrol station managers, once they’d successfully been through an interview. If we fast forward to the present, very few of these smaller petrol stations remain open and virtually none of the “successful” manager applicants remain. This corporate initiative, to be blunt, removed initiative from the entire petrol retail network with many stations shut, due to falling revenues. Throughout the UK, the landscape is littered with old petrol station plots, no-one keen on buying the land due to the potential of historic ground contamination.

 

We suspect the markets shall assume Purplebricks have the right idea. Should the share price accelerate beyond 74p anytime soon, we calculate the potential of an initial ambition at 84p. If bettered, an attempt at 109p looks very possible, a price level which looks like it’s currently auditioning as a glass ceiling. Only with closure above 109p dare we feel some strong potentials shall make themselves known as 167p works out as a sensible longer term hope.

Conversely, if it all intends go wrong, below 60p currently risks reversal to 46p with our secondary, if broken, calculating at a bottom of 25p. We cannot calculate below such a point.

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

Many thanks to the nice folk who find adverts on this page deserving of a visit. We regard the revenue as buying us a daily essential latte.

#DAX #BrentFutures When we gave careful consideration to the future of Lloyds three weeks ago, we truly didn’t anticipate nothing happening. Alas, the share has enjoying playing around within a 3p trading range. It was at 45.9 when we wrote our analysis and, at time of writing, it’s at 46.23p. Surely the share price shall eventually make some sort of decision about its future?

After all, the company recently dusted down a shiny new CEO, a bloke called Mr Charlie Nunn and he’s expected to turn the dial up to 11 when he stops playing with the levers on his new seat behind the doubtless big desk in his office. From reading his historical background, things look fairly encouraging, once one chooses to ignore his boast of being a keen cyclist… By all means, ride a bike but folk who broadcast the feat risk being tainted with a faint whiff of the fanatic.

For the banking sector, a return to banks being allowed to set their own dividends without constraint, the body pleading for an easing of capital restraints, business now returning to the new normal, along with some (slight) optimism for the future, perhaps we’re due a change in the share price fortunes. Of course, we remain with a slight worry as mentioned previously, thanks to the share giving early warning of a plunge potential to 32p.

Our worry of a dramatic reversal remain, the intervening three weeks doing absolutely nothing to reduce our fears. In fact, the mantra of “if it ain’t going up, it’s going down!” may apply, thanks to ongoing lethargic movement. At odds with our doom and gloom, the Banking Sector Index, helpfully renamed as the NMX301010 (for reasons we just don’t get) is showing early signs of a growth cycle to 3625 points, challenging the market high pre-Covid. All it needs do is exceed 2945 points to confirm our calculations as this should kick things off. At present, this index is trading at 2900 points, requiring little work improve its future potentials.

 

However, we shall opt to remain in “misery mode”. With Lloyds trading at 46.2p currently, the price now only needs slither below 43.3p to indicate trauma ahead as this now calculates with an initial target of 39p. If broken, our secondary and bounce level with strong potential still works out at 32p.

Conversely, to indicate happier days ahead, the share price need only exceed 48.3p as this should allegedly trigger recovery toward an initial 50p with secondary, if bettered, a significant 53.75p. We regard this as deserving of “significant”, due to such a target exceeding the previous high, giving a strong potential for happier times in the longer term future.

For now, we fear it intends 32p and is just awaiting the right excuse for a plunge. Hopefully the new boss doesn’t have a dodgy hydraulic canister in his new chair.

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

#FreeFutures #FTSE ‘The Glorious 12th’, once again brought the start of the grouse season here in Scotland but the hills locally were mercifully quiet, everyone staying indoors to watch the FTSE making a further attempt at becoming airborne. Or perhaps the hills were peaceful, due to the local grouse & pheasant factory massively reducing production of cannon fodder. This was due to the uncertainty of permitted activities, thanks to the pandemic.

The hunt for grouse, while coming with the pretence it’s a challenge against wild birds, tends forget the animals are farmed, released on a moor, startled by beaters, then shot. It’s certainly one of these occasions where the birds probably regret learning to fly. The farmed grouse & pheasant, in normal years, can be a nuisance on the roads locally. They tend forget their preferred future intentions, instead opting to ambush unwary motorists driving past the pheasant farm, doubtless finding it hilarious watching a tourist plant their car or mobile home into a ditch while discovering single track roads don’t afford much room for manoeuvre. This year, driving past the estate which grows the traffic hazards has been a pleasure, an almost complete lack of suicidal pheasant.

 

The tenuous link, continuing to ask the question “Will The FTSE Fly or will it be shot down?” currently has a fairly optimistic theme, the London market continuing to feel like there is an upward underlying cycle.

However, near term below 7180 looks slightly problematic, calculating with the potential of reversal to an initial 7150 points. Given the FTSE closed the 12th at 7193, this obviously is not a massive drop requirement to the trigger level. In the even 7150 breaks, we would hope for a proper bounce at our secondary of 7127 points. We do have considerable doubts as to the reversal potential, thanks to the Blue downtrend on the chart. The market broke above this downtrend on Wednesday and, in addition, rather a lot of shares we monitor hit upward triggers. Despite what has felt like an effort to slow down the pace of rises, we’d hope the FTSE intends remain above the pandemic downtrend.

 

Further feeding our excuse to suggest a cheery future, the FTSE has managed, somehow, to regain its previous uptrend, trend #7 since October last year. Generally, when a price breaks below, then actually returns above a trend, there’s a pretty solid excuse for optimism. In the case of the FTSE, above 7222 points suggests ongoing traffic in the direction of 7251 points. If bettered, our secondary works out at 7357 points.

To spoil the party slightly, the FTSE still needs better 7550 to justify some fizzy wine as the London market will join the rest of developed world in exceeding the market level, prior to the Covid-19 drop last March. Have a good weekend, even though we need wait another 2 weeks for the next Grand Prix!

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

Once again, many thanks to the kind folk who keep us awash with coffee, when they find an advert on this page sufficiently interesting to visit.

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

#DAX #SP500 The 6th largest (in the UK) specialist in modern warfare and 52nd largest in the world, defence contractor Qinetic enjoy a share price which remains pretty comparatively stable. However, some interesting potentials are making themselves known, making an upward lurch toward a new all time high feel very possible. A visit to their website is recommended to experience the range of fields in which the company are active.

At time of writing, the share is trading around 338p, needing above just 358p to potentially trigger fireworks. Such a movement calculates with an initial, fairly tame, ambition of 371p with secondary, if bettered, a new high of 410p. This secondary hope is quite a big deal, allowing us to project a big picture future of 487p, along with a strong suggestion this defence contractor share price has moved up to an entirely new trading range.

For everything to go wrong, the earliest indication will look like travel below 311p as this risks triggering reversal to an initial 281p with secondary, if broken, calculating down at 227p and hopefully a bottom.

 

It’s almost amusing to write this but we typically trawl the media for anything interesting relating to companies we’re writing about. In the case of Qinetic, it appears safe to say they keep themselves “off the rader” which is apt, given some of their specialities.

#FTSE #WallSt There’s something about Metro Bank  we find attractive, perhaps the lack of corporate baggage held by other retail banks. It’s refreshing, when the first retail High St bank in over 100 years describe their outlets as “Stores” or “Shops” in a real attempt to soften perception away from the intimidating facade once propagated in Mary Poppins and Harry Potter. However, other High St banks have long tried to alter public perception, if only with lower counters in their branches.

But Metro Bank remain the dog friendly chain of outlets and more recently, appear to be experimenting with hosting childrens craft weeks in a few of their stores. If only the company hadn’t experienced their little whoopsie with an accounting error back in 2019, causing their share price to drop 39% in a single day. This event has overseen a period of rot for the company share price, diminishing from 2200p to a low of 58p toward the end of last year. In 2018, the bank share price had peaked at just over £40!

Such has been the level of drama, we cannot display a meaningful 5 year chart as scaling forces price movements since the start of the pandemic to appear as a virtually flat line.

 

However, there are early signs something is brewing in the recovery aisle for this retail shop and we’d suggest paying attention, should the price manage above 112p. At time of writing, the share is trading around 100p, so perhaps this isn’t such a distant trigger level. Above 112p calculates as capable of driving price recovery toward an initial 126p with secondary, if bettered, working out at a longer term 142p. At this secondary level, the all important signal for the longer term shall arrive depending on where the price manages to close a session.

In the event the share manages to actually close above 140p, some quite surprising longer term expectations become available as we can project future movement to 215p, along with a possible glass ceiling. This is due to such a calculation also challenging the share price pre-Covid high last year and other shares, when reaching this level, are tending to pause for thought for a while, prior to any further movements northward.

For alarm bells to ring, the share needs below 88p as this risks a very real threat of matching last years lows.

Currently, we’re a little bit optimistic over this lots potentials.

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.
