Trends And Targets

Every Friday, through July and August, we’ve been whining about the need for the UK market to actually CLOSE a session above 10,910 points. Rather impressively, the FTSE100 has employed exquisite skill in remaining below our trigger level, certainly managing to sneak above during intraday trade but with remarkable discipline, ensuring each session failed to CLOSE above our trigger level. This has created a situation, where there’s the implicit suggestion closure above 10,910 shall signal a period of positive trade for the FTSE. Visually, what has been created is something we call a Horizontal Trend and generally closure above such a trend line should herald imminent fireworks.

 

Therefore, from a near term perspective, we’re at the stage of trying to produce target values which should afford the UK market the opportunity to CLOSE above 10,910 points. This being the case, above 10,867 points currently calculates with the potential of a lift to 10,922 points. Despite such a lift intraday, this target level provides nothing new and doesn’t come with an expectation of closure above our trigger level. However, should 10,922 points be exceeded, our “longer term” (or later the same day) secondary calculates at 10,999 points. This should make closure above 10,910 points almost a slam dunk expectation.

Hopefully the current UK Prime Minister hasn’t got any great ideas to surprise the media with. Though we’ve a private suspicion at some point, the idea shall arise of Selling Gibraltar to Spain, the Falklands to Argentina, Northern Ireland to Ireland, and Scotland to Scotland…

Our converse scenario, if things decide to go wrong, suggests weakness below 10,689 risks bringing a visit down to an initial 10,609 points with our secondary, if broken, at 10,509 points and a potential level for a reasonable bounce.  Reversals like this shall illustrate a nasty problem, introducing a third level target – if everything else fails – down at 10,289 points and the potential introduction of a price level which should become a pivot until the end of this year.

 

Anyway, it’s a Grand Prix weekend, the race from Italy giving sufficient excuse for Carbonara for dinner on Sunday while we analyse just what went wrong with Ferrari this time around! Have a good weekend.

Risk Warning & Notice to Investors

Buying, selling and investing in shares is not without risk. Market and company movement will affect your performance and you may get back less than you invest. Neither Trends and Targets Ltd, Shareprice, or Interactive Investor will be responsible for any losses that may be incurred as a result of following a trading idea.

When we review a company which is new to us, habitually we opt to glance at their website in the hope of gleaning some useful information. To be fair, sometimes we discover a web presence where the company simply chose to toss the job at a web design organisation and left them to it. Generally, this results in an offering to the internet which is buzzword heavy, yet lacking in any real information. On other occasions, it can rapidly become clear the company took a close interest in production of their website, an impeccably written internet presence which is full of technical jargon, yet usually leaving the reader without a clue as to what the company actually does.

And then, there is “Rosebank Technologies”. We managed to confuse them with Rosebank Industries, their website giving literally no information about the company. An extract from their “About” section is shown below, ensuring any effort to try and produce a useful blurb came to a crashing halt. Thankfully common sense reared its ugly head and the penny dropped, we were looking at the wrong Rosebank!

Rosebank Industries have a very nice website, one with a working “About Us” link which reveals they are focussed on acquiring high quality engineering businesses with strong market positions. They aim to Buy the business, Improve the business, then Sell the business. It all sounds quite straightforward, though doubtless a nightmare for any target companies who will invariably suffer staff reductions as the company aims to focus on profitability. While creating an immediate picture of profit improvement, by the time the acid test for success comes around a few years later, the chaos caused by a change of focus toward immediate profit can introduce pain to the bottom line. But by this point, there’s a chance the company will again be on the market, a short term profitability improvement concealing reality. Who knows, maybe Rosebank Industries shall be different.

Currently, their share price is exhibiting some hope for the future. Above just 364 calculates as potentially triggering movement to an initial 381p with our longer term secondary, if exceeded, working out at an impressive 410p. An achievement such as this would be pretty important from a Big Picture stance, representing a new “high” since the catastrophic price adjustment from 2025.

Conversely, our reversal scenario suggests weakness below 338p risks triggering downward travel to an initial 314 with our secondary, if broken, a less likely bottom at 280p.

Our inclination is toward optimism.

Many thanks for taking the time to read this and good luck for today. Please feel free to mention us after something goes right!

At the end of August, our bit of Argyll hosts something called “The Cowal Gathering”, traditionally the final Highland Games of the season. This year, the weather proved excellent, the temperature maxing out at 22.5c and rain staying away, quite literally until the final firework of the ending display was fired. By the time we drove the 8 miles home, it was raining and the temperature had dropped quite dramatically. This is pretty typical, Argyll somehow ensuring September is ushered in with pretty vile weather. Thankfully, we caught a ferry and spent a dry holiday Monday with friends on the mainland where it remained dry and fairly warm, allowing a well lubricated BBQ and a perfect day off until the festive season sneaks up on us.

The next week should see the markets taking a greater interest in life as folk return from their August break. There has been what we feel will be a significant movement with oil supplies, the US Government now able to express a keen interest in keeping oil prices high. The “problem” for the rest of the world is the US Government has taken direct control of 1/5th of Venezuela’s oil production. As a result, high oil prices will produce direct income for the USA Government, this making us wonder if the fresh strikes against Iran are designed to increase tensions, along with increased prices of Crude Oil. Even the oil major companies have raised eyebrows over this initiative as they’d never expected to find themselves in direct competition with the US Government.

Once again, we are living in strange times.

As for Natwest, from an immediate perspective, we calculate their share price currently needs exceed 720p to suggest the retail bank is about to exhibit its own fireworks display. Above such a trigger level should produce movements to an initial 750p with our longer term secondary, if exceeded, at 893p.

If things intend go wrong for Natwest, below 636p looks like it shall prove dangerous, perhaps capable of driving the price down to an initial 598p and visually, a strong suggestion for a bounce. Share price closure below 598p would be regarded as a bad thing, working out with a secondary objective at 544p and a lack of confidence for a rebound. This would be due to the Big Picture giving a visually unlikely 443p as possible, this aided by a firm hint the retail bank has returned to doing retail bank things, ruining the hopes of investors.

There are just 119 days until Christmas Day. To be fair, counting down “the days” isn’t something we’re guilty of – except for an end to the days of horror which is August on the stock market. Even reviewing the price of Crude Oil has become an exercise in futility, the markets clearly opting to keep it effectively trapped in place until something positive or negative actually takes place. Perhaps Mr Trump shall decide to rename the Straits of Hormuz something like “Trump Straits” in memory of his fantastic success in destabilising the region, pushing oil profits to new surprise levels.

We shall not be surprised, if September brings some surprise reversals on the price of Brent, potentially to around the $77 dollar level, if only because the markets are bored at the lack of activity…

As for the FTSE, we shall not be aghast if the market opts to end the month with a bit of a squeak. Currently, weakness below 10,770 looks very capable of provoking reversal down to an initial 10,731 points with our secondary, if broken, a considerably less likely 10,679 points. Visually, there is nothing currently hinting this secondary could be viable, especially as it would dump the UK index in a zone where the Big Picture is presenting a long term bottom at 10,413 as possible, this being a target which does make some visual sense.

If this drop triggers, the tightest stop is wide at 10,827 points.

Our alternate, more positive, scenario covers what’s possible, if the UK nudges above 10,827 points. In such a game plan, we can calculate the hope of movement to an initial 10,866 points with our secondary, if bettered, at 10,694 points along with very probable hesitation.

Have a good weekend. Just 9 days until the next Grand Prix from Italy, sometimes worth missing.

Risk Warning & Notice to Investors

Buying, selling and investing in shares is not without risk. Market and company movement will affect your performance and you may get back less than you invest. Neither Trends and Targets Ltd, Shareprice, or Interactive Investor will be responsible for any losses that may be incurred as a result of following a trading idea.

and it bounced from 131 on June 8th of this year… This is the end of a sentence we didn’t give, when we reviewed  Central Asia Metals back in March of this year. Instead, we actually wrote the words shown below, managing to CLOSE at 131.2p on June 8th. Despite the share price falling below 131p within the next couple of weeks, the all important first surge to our target level bounced a tiny amount above our target levels. We’ve all sorts of daft theories as to why this happens after an initial event which can be ignored, parking our ideas about Flat Earth Theory, Net Zero logic, BBC impartiality, along with an outlandish idea UK politicians may have a spine and functional brain.

The last couple of sessions with

Central Asia have proven pretty good, creating a situation where above 186p should next trigger gains in the direction of an initial 195p with our “longer term” secondary, if beaten, calculating at 213p.

This sort of thing should be as useful as our little tractor proved, when the robot lawnmower decided it was allergic to grass. To be completely honest, spending 30 minutes charging around on the little red tractor was genuine fun, despite the rain. The robot lay where it had given up the ghost, losing traction in long grass with greater style than Red Bull driver Verstappen, when he decided to crash test his car without assistance from anyone else. Prior to this, we couldn’t resist the chance for a straight race between the robot and the tractor. In 1st Gear with Low Ratio selected, the robot positively leapt ahead, only out accelerated by a snail. There’s a good reason why we’ve ignored the lack of brakes on the tractor, the machine able to come to a halt simply by sliding the accelerator lever downward. Our excuse for all the garden machinery is quite simple. Using a step counter with a self propelled lawnmower revealed 2.25 miles were covered, when cutting the grass.

Our unbridled optimism for the future has an important caveat. This share price requires CLOSURE above 213p, this being the point above which we shall regard it as entering a Big Picture cycle to 241p, a price level where the visuals suggest some hesitation can be anticipated. We are far from confident about a long term path to a future 320p opening up.

On a hopefully brighter note, Thursday is supposed to start shining a light for this author. Since 2004, a pair of Reading Glasses bought from a petrol station proved sufficient for daily life, but the other day, on the motorway, there was the realisation I was awaiting an overhead sign coming into focus. This was a new thing, perhaps an early signal proper glasses were required, so an appointment with a local optician was made. They’ve warned I shall not be allowed to drive for six hours after the appointment, so it sounds like a fun day…  Wonder how much booze they intend supply me with? (growing up sucks)

Risk Warning & Notice to Investors

Buying, selling and investing in shares is not without risk. Market and company movement will affect your performance and you may get back less than you invest. Neither Trends and Targets Ltd, Shareprice, or Interactive Investor will be responsible for any losses that may be incurred as a result of following a trading idea.

We previously reviewed Anglo American back in 2023, when the price was “just” 1970p. In the intervening period, the price obviously achieved our upward targets and we forgot our intention of revisiting the company share value. And so, it has now more than doubled, a solid share above 40 quid and one which urgently needs an update as further positive potentials seem to be present.

We spent a while, surfing through AAL’s website, as always left in awe of the companies reach and operations. While they’ve embraced all the right buzzwords to establish their “green” credentials, it was a pleasure to notice AI – Artificial Intelligence – is missing from the blurb, perhaps an indicator of something thinking adding any mention of this would be over-seasoning an already impressive picture of success. And of course, we delved into Wikipedia as it’s usually a reasonable source of negative gossip, relating a decent number of scandals against long established companies such as Anglo American, a company born in 1917 in Jo’burg, South Africa.

It looks like above 4,240p should next provide a trigger point, one capable of promoting gains toward an initial 4,424p with our secondary, if bettered, calculating at 4,496p. However, it’s important we mention closure above 4,424p shall prove important from a Big Picture perspective, launching the share price into a zone where a future 5,055p works out as possible. This would indicate the possibility of a new All Time High waiting in the distant future.

Should things intend go wrong, the share price needs below 3,470p to risk triggering reversal to an initial 2,948p with our secondary, if broken, at a potential bottom of 2,517p.

We think this shall prove worth watching, if not intimidated by the 40 quid plus price tag!
