GBP/USD (FX:GBPUSD) currently 1.3217. Time for Florida?

#Gold #Nasdaq Elections are proving weird this year. We had the UK’s General Election being held on July 4th, the USA’s favourite firework festival. And the USA’s Presidential Election is being held on November 5th, the UK’s favourite firework festival.  We can only assume Scotlands next General Election shall be held on September 5th next year, the anniversary of the first time The Muppet Show was broadcast. Perhaps the American Presidential election shall adopt Our Guy Fawkes fireworks for the 5th November vote, doubtless to conceal the sound of gunshots!

Despite the chaotic state of UK politics, it seems Sterling is strengthening against the dollar, maybe the markets somehow feel the UK is doing better than the USA. The media attribute the weakness of the dollar, due to the highly publicised imminent reduction in US interest rates. There’s a pretty strong argument suggesting the Dollar should continue to weaken, due to the GBPUSD exceeding the Blue downtrend on the chart below. It’s quite a big deal as this trend line dates back to 2007 and surely a 17 year old downtrend must mean something to folk and usually, they’re not wrong. From our perspective, when a value goes through a trend line, the bias of the market tends change with in this instance, positive news tending to enhance positive movements.

 

This results in a situation, where movement next above 1.3324 should strengthen Sterling to an initial pairing target of 1.3584 with our secondary, if bettered, now at 1.4271 and some almost certain hesitation. Since the pairing broke the trend, price levels have pretty much adhered to our rules, so perhaps it’s time to consider a visit to Disney Florida.

Of course, things could go wrong but the pairing needs weaken below 1.2600 to cause serious concern, allowing reversals to an initial 1.2002 with our longer term secondary at 1.1410 and a potential bounce. Visually, very little of this reversal scenario makes any real sense.

Lloyds Banking Group (LSE:LLOY) currently 58.04

#Brent #Dax It’s being said around 80% of Artificial Intelligence companies fail, despite investors throwing money at them. Similar behaviour has been noted with Blockchain and Crypto, essentially with the “smart” investors being afraid of missing the next big thing. Understandably, no-one wants to miss the next Google, Apple, or Tesla but AI (especially) is a dodgy territory. Essentially, while it’s a good idea, no-one has actually figured out where it will be useful.

Being careful not to name names, someone we know works with a national retailer, specialising in PR customer support. Her department received a dreadful email from a customer, complaining they’d bought a bunch of roses with one of the stems drawing blood, when a thorn scratched their skin. The customer expected a refund for the roses, along with some sort of goodwill gesture! Eventually, it was decided to allow the first person who’d read the email to reply, along with a strong suggestion she didn’t use words like “moron or idiot”. The junior member sent a 3 word email reply, saying “Roses Have Thorns” and no more was heard.

However, for a giggle, the team threw the email at AI software which was under test to replace call centres. This is where is all started to go wrong, the AI immediately replying with a full refund, along with a store credit to purchase another bunch of flowers. Additionally, it tried to issue an email to management, suggesting future bunches of roses be sheathed in puncture proof rubber sleeves as this accident was completely avoidable. Needless to say, the AI software remains under an increasingly cynical test, doubtless giving considerable hope to employees in call centres worldwide.

Amusingly, there’s apparently a video of the new Beetlejuice movie doing the rounds, a perfect copy from a Mexican showing. The language is obviously Spanish and initially someone claimed to have used AI to successfully generate accurate subtitles. Another pirate movie enthusiast then had a go at it, somehow converting the Spanish audio into an English soundtrack, all with AI. While this sort of thing is truly impressive (we’re going to see the real film this week), it’s more indicative of a firm future for. Historically, once the dodgy side of life adopts new technology, it’s a pretty certain signal the technology will catch on, something the film industry is pretty aware of anyway, due to the initial use of moving pictures being to record porn. As a result, it is said every improvement in the film technology has insiders watching the porn industry for signs of it being adopted. We’d guess, if the porn industry starts making entire AI movies, mainstream actors shall doubtless start reviewing their career options. For now, despite the Beetlejuice story, we remain sceptical about AI as it appears a solution which hasn’t yet found a suitable problem.

 

Lloyds Banking Group share price continues to prove the markets are not under the control of an AI, or if they are, it’s one with the IQ of a small ginger cat. We’re extremely frustrated at the inability of retail banking shares to actually do anything positive, despite larcenous interest rates starting to relax worldwide. The immediate situation with Lloyds now suggests movement above 61.62p should bring movement to an initial 66.4p with our secondary, if beaten, at a more useful 69.5p and potential hesitation. Visually, the share price has experienced an issue at the 70p level since 2016.

If things intend go wrong with Lloyds, below 56p looks like providing the first warning as this risks promoting reversal to an initial 52p with our secondary, if broken, now at 49.4p and a potential excuse for a real bounce.

For now, we’re stuck in a repeat cycle of every three weeks, trying to find reasons for Lloyds share price to remove itself from a zombie lifestyle. The retail banking sector, once interesting and exciting, is being outperformed by this years crop of dandelions on our lawn.

FTSE for FRIDAY (FTSE:UKX) currently 8240… Just watch the Grand Prix

#FTSE #GOLD Projecting market direction sometimes feels like publicising Aura Borealis or Meteor sighting potentials, an exercise which often leads to disappointment.  Tonight, with the outside temperature at -2c, a clear sky and fully charged camera, all the hype about a promised Borealis starts to feel like clickbait though we did see an IcelandAir jet heading home at 40,000 feet. Thankfully, our track record on the FTSE is substantially better than those who forecast lights in the sky!

Now indoors, with the heating on, glancing at the FTSE is bringing similar levels of frustration to those experienced when trying to spot the Northern Lights.

However, we have several underlying reasons to suspect FTSE growth is set to continue. Something quite curious is going on between the UK and Australia as both markets appear to be copying the other. Broadly speaking, there’s a strong scenario presenting 8800 points as the real attraction for each index, Australia showing some fairly immediate positive potentials with Higher Highs whereas the FTSE is proving a bit lethargic.

 

In the event the FTSE opts to follow the expected behaviour of Australia, above 8290 points calculates with the potential of a lift to an initial 8332 points with our secondary, if exceeded, working out at an impressive 8402 points. If triggered, we suggest a stop loss level at around 8250 points.

We’re obviously not anticipating either the UK or Oz index making the leap to the 8800 level overnight, quite the converse, but instead we regard this as a longer term ambition, similar to a politician keeping its eye on a distant expenses office or subsidised restaurant/bar. Here in Scotland, our experience with SNP MP’s has shown what happens when people who struggled to be elected as a councillor were elevated to parliament. The results were not pretty and it’s probable the Daily Mail and the Express already have written their corruption headlines, just awaiting the unfortunate career politician to fill the story!

If things intend go wrong, below 8202 points looks like a trigger level as it risks promoting reversal down to an initial 8144 points with our secondary, if broken, calculating at a less likely 8090 points. We shall not be concerned if the 8144 level is breached, suspected the index shall bounce before the 8090 level.

 

Finally, having just spent another 20 freezing minutes outside, not a single meteor or Aura Borealis has been spotted. And it’s now approaching 3am.

Have a good weekend and enjoy the Grand Prix, hopefully a bit more interesting than the previous one.

Greatland Gold (LSE:GGP) currently 5.1p

#Gold #NK225 Whatever Greatland have done to offend the market, their share price has received a bit of a hammering.  The headline news of them acquiring a further asset, along with news they intend to seek an additional listing for the enlarged company on the Australia Exchange (the ASX), it should be happy days but the market clearly feels unsettled. Or alternately are trying to frighten small investors as the share price potentials are currently foul. Essentially, it feels like there’s something going on we don’t entirely trust.

To be transparent, our entire knowledge of the gold industry is based on the excellent Gold Rush & Bering Sea Gold on the Discovery channel, along with an amateur effort to build a sluice in the stream which makes its way through our back garden. Every now and then, it gets cleaned out and each time produces two or three tiny little flakes of gold. While it’s certainly not commercial quantities, our haul over the last 10 years was given to a local jewellery designer who included it in the bunch of old gold rings & necklaces he was melting down to make a bracelet for our daughters birthday. The chap valued our haul over the last 10 years at around 90 quid, marginally diminishing my wifes scorn. In defence, the artificial grass which is supposed to capture gold is a problem, due to occasional overnight storms turning the placid stream into a raging torrent, scouring the carpet of grass clean.

However, with Greatland Gold trading in the area of Australia the chap Parker from Gold Rush viewed as Utopia for seeking gold in the continent, it seems sane to assume Greatland will enjoy better recovery rates than those from our back garden here in Argyll…

 

To dwell on the miserable potentials initially, apparently it’s the case weakness below 5p should trigger reversal to an initial 3p and hopefully a bounce. Our secondary, should 3p break, calculates at an absurd looking 0.1p. Our suspicion in this instance is the market shall ideally discover an excuse to gap the share price upward on morning, creating a game changing potential for the share price future. The reason we’re being a little cynical is due to the share price adherence to the Blue downtrend during August and September (circled in Red).

If things intend go right, movement above Blue currently at 7.4p should prove worthwhile, allowing price recovery to an initial 9p with our secondary, if bettered, at 10.7p. This secondary is important, due to the need for share price closure above such point to create a game changing scenario, where a long term cycle to an eventual 28p should commence.

Wizz Air (LSE:WIZZ) currently 1,190p

#FTSE #Nasdaq The financial press has been salivating this week over the prospects for Wizz Air and its incoming fleet of Airbus A321XLR jets, each with that scary “new untried jet” smell, and the companies plans for longer range routes from Gatwick to Jeddah to start with. It’s quite astounding, the company offering the ability of someone paying £135 and getting a 3,000 mile trip in return. Regular readers will know of the “high esteem” in which we hold the hell of flying and a costing such as this makes us wonder what the conditions on board shall be like.

Perhaps there will be coin operated toilet cubicles & a charge for loo roll, along with a paid lottery to decide who is allowed to sit and those who stand for the journey. They could maybe even adopt the African transport concept, a special charge for those who will sit on the roof of a jet, similar to the roof class as found on some African & Indian trains…

 

While we’re obviously bothered by the market choosing to gap the share price below the uptrend at the start of August, it appeared to send a pretty solid signal the market wants the share price down. Unusually for us, we’re not entirely convinced by the movement as below 1150p allows for further reversal to an initial 1078p. Effectively, this suggests we expect a bounce, or ideally the market opting to gap up the share price, anytime now. The real danger comes with closure below 1078p as a further cycle to 560p becomes possible, along with substantial difficulty in bouncing.

From a near term perspective, above 1218p should trigger slight recovery to an initial 1377 and some hesitation. Our secondary, if such a level is beaten, at 1834p, taking the share price into a region where happy days should be ahead, due to the value being once again above the uptrend since 2022.

 

Sorry to be so brief on this one. At time of writing, the thoroughly enjoyable Trump/Harris debate is on telly.

Craneware Plc (LSE:NWG) looking good at 2,370p.

#Gold #SP500 With each week passing, it becomes increasingly likely we shall opt to ditch our annual BBC Licence Fee as, when it comes down to it, neither of us bother watching “live” TV any more. It’s probable the ridiculously biased BBC News started this rot 10 years ago, due to their ugly coverage of the Scottish Referendum but it’s gotten to the stage my wife is now speculating about using the big TV screen for her City Skylines game, rather than sitting watching her computer monitor, while listening to a podcast on her tablet, while browsing the Temu website on her phone. Obviously, the TV is switched off.

From a personal viewpoint, while rarely ever watching telly, I’ve developed a guilty secret every evening, watching/listening to The Megyn Kelly Show on YouTube every night, generally providing 90 minutes of insight into what’s going on in the USA and wider world. Often, items being discussed can be quite jaw dropping due to the established media not covering it, and her online show is now credited as enjoying greater viewer numbers than Sky News, CNN, MSNBC, etc. On the other hand, there’s the UK’s Russel Brand also giving it his best shot, often covering the same areas with a UK twist, even daring to mention the UK media attempts to “cancel” Tommy Robinson, but unfortunately his presentation style can be difficult to enjoy.

 

All of this has nothing to do with Craneware, other than acknowledging a personal preference for news to be delivered in plain, honest English. And this is where AIM listed Craneware Plc popped up! A small alert appeared in our end of day data run, introducing a company we’ve never looked at and suggesting it may be worth a glance from our perspective. Anxious to sound knowledgeable on the company, we visited their website to figure out what they’re up to. Inevitably, it was nothing to do with sensible clothing for cranes. Instead, they appear to supply billing and accounts software for the US medical industry.

 

However, their share price has venerated the uptrend since 2023 and is now looks poised to continue some positive action, despite gibberish only decoded by insiders, on their website. Then again, an honest sentence which said something like “we exist to maximise the amount hospitals can charge insurance companies in the US” may not have quite the poetic ring used on their website.

Their share value certainly looks like it has the potential to bring further growth to the price, potentially matching the all time high above 3,500p back in 2018.

Currently, above just 2415 implies an initial target of 2449p with our secondary, if bettered, a surprisingly useful 2723p sometime in the future. While the concept of such a target may sound quite impressive, our third level target calculates at 3,401p and almost certain hesitation, given it matches the highs of 2018.

Our converse scenario, if things intend go wrong, allows below 2290 to trigger reversals to an initial 1947p with secondary, if broken, at a bottom of 1765p.

For now, we’re inclined toward a positive opinion on Craneware.

Natwest Group Plc (LSE:NWG) currently 328.4p

#Brent #US500After an amazing weekend with temperatures hitting 24c here in Argyll, we’re starting to feel we’re in an abusive relationship with the weather. Earlier in the week, constant rain and a low of 4c had us looking at the mountains, expecting a dusting of snow which was thankfully absent. The burst of good weather was interesting but somehow, it also brought autumn to the trees with many turning brown and losing leafs in a few days, while the grass also suddenly started to grow again.

Looking at Natwest share price, we suspect it’s (along with the rest of the retail banking sector) also in an abusive relationship with shareholders, deliberately giving hope, then sharply changing direction. Currently, there has been an immediate warning signal which starts to bother us.

 

The share price, closing on Friday 6th September at 328.4p simply equalled the previous closing price low of a month earlier, at precisely 328.4p. This was an amazing coincidence but unfortunately, it also allowed the closing price to end a session below the Red trend line (see insert). From our perspective, this isn’t a happy signal, one which perhaps suggests the market intends moving in a converse direction despite expected central bank interest rate cuts. While this may feel like it’s against the rules, no-one expects the market to behave in favour of traders in the event of a solid positive happening. After all, how often do folk read in chatrooms of traders fury at a company issuing extremely positive results, only for the market to head in entirely the wrong direction.

For Natwest, it’s now sitting in a zone, where movement to an initial 270 looks possible with our secondary, when broken, at 231p and a probable bottom. However, we’re inclined to suggest playing safe, assuming the previous spike downward to 309p could be regarded as a “safer” trigger level for serious reversals. On the bright side, a stop loss could be emplaced around 330p.

Alternately, if the market intends  a massive practical joke, should the BoE finally do something about absurd interest rates designed to stifle the economy, we need to look at the potentials if Natwest share price intends head upward.

 

Share price movement now above 343p should bring recovery to an initial 347p with our secondary, if beaten, at 364p. Closure above 364 shall now prove significant, turning the page toward a long term attraction for a distant sounding 419p

SUCCESS above means both FAST & SLOW targets were met. ‘CESS means just the FAST target met and probably the next time it is exceeded, movement to the SLOW target shall commence.

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.
