But the really difficult bit was attempting to figure out how to blend a close encounter with a new snowy owl into our efforts. Over the years, a massive snowy owl has been a regular visitor, reliably coming when I give a whistle. Tonight, the Golden Retrievers brain was exploding as she barked at &#8220;something&#8221; she had trapped in an ash tree. The dog regards a bird perched on the branches watching her as a win and this time, she was obviously at the top of the class.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Suddenly, something jumped out of the tree, dropping around 1 metre before opening its wings and taking flight. It was a small snowy owl, obviously trying hard not to damage its feathers in the close confines of the forest, making me suspect it was on a brand new flying licence. Perhaps it&#8217;s the case the monster owl has now become a parent and it was showing the young bird where the favourite places to annoy dogs were. But I&#8217;ve certainly never seen a bird jump out from a tree.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><b><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To start with JD Sports<\/span><\/b>, their share price has followed the lesson from our little owl, throwing itself off a Blue downtrend which commenced back in 2021 is quite fascinating.\u00a0 The extract on the chart below is of interest, the share price exuberantly exceeding the trend on 17th September, only to be smacked back into place the following day as if the market already knew it had a cunning plan for the days ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">The situation now suggests ongoing weakness below 138p risks promoting reversals down to an initial 118p with our secondary, if broken, an eventual bottom of 103p and hopefully a rebound.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">If things intend turn positive, the share price now needs above 158p to hint at a trigger movement toward an initial 169p with our secondary, if beaten, at 174p and a need for us to revisit our calculations. Alas, for now we suspect it intends to drop, hopefully with a bottom at 103p as the market certainly appears to be enacting a secret scenario.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.trendsandtargets.com\/img\/jd021024.jpg\" width=\"598\" height=\"653\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In a world without any shortage of regional conflicts<b>, <\/b>perhaps it&#8217;s the time to take a hard look at <b>BAE Systems<\/b> again. After all, should the USA go a little crazy following their Guy Fawkes Election on 5th November and not know who they are supposed to be selling weaponry to, surely any pause in US arms supply could be filled from the UK as our country hosts one of the largest weapon suppliers in the world. The only problem is the UK&#8217;s lack of available skilled workers for the defence industry, not really a surprise as they made many of them redundant while attempting to defend executive pay levels&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">However, BAE is suddenly looking pretty interesting. Movement above just 1308 should now trigger price recovery to an initial 1330p with our longer term secondary, if beaten, at a future 1457p.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If trouble is planned, below 1221p risks triggering reversals to an initial 1166p with our secondary, if broken, at a potential bottom of 1070p.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For now, we think BAE Systems share price intends some gains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.trendsandtargets.com\/img\/ba021024.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr
