YouGov Plc (LSE:YOU & FTSE:UKX) – published late!

FTSE for FRIDAY and YouGov Plc (LSE:YOU & FTSE:UKX)

Movements are a funny old thing. This year, and we are only on Month Three, we’ve seen a series of movements taking over the media. Fast losing media interest is the Israel/Gaza thing, joining the Russia/Ukraine thing on the boring shelf, alongside the Trans silly arguments and now, we’ve the Trump/Biden mess threatening to take precedence. We rather strongly suspect the UK shall opt to try and sneak a General Election in May, during the US chaotic noise. Of course, this gives some justification to review how one of the polling companies is doing on the stock market!

Oddly, despite finding Mr Trump a truly abhorrent option, the only thing worse than him seems to be the current US President Biden, someone who is displaying fairly advanced symptoms of dementia. Together, they present a similar structure to that facing UK voters where we’re presented with a pair of political entities, each of which has proved their ability to dodge accusations of competence. Perhaps the time has come for a “None Of The Above” option to enter ballot papers, giving everyone a chance to voice their true feelings.

 

Anyway, returning to being whimsical, YouGov certainly have potentials, the market doubtless forecasting a massive year of ridiculous “Voter Intention” surveys. Currently trading around 1165p, it needs above 1230p to hopefully trigger a cycle up to an initial 1528p with secondary, if beaten, a ridiculous looking 1818p and a new all time high. Visually, it appears certain 1528p shall provoke some hesitation, if achieved.

If things intend go wrong for this vote influencer, below 1000p appears to have the potential of triggering reversal to an initial 844p with secondary, if broken, at a bottom of 772p and perhaps a bounce.

 

As for the FTSE for FRIDAY, the UK market is certainly (finally) starting to look interesting. Index movements now exceeding 7786 should create a scenario, where recovery to an initial 7846 is possible with our secondary, if beaten, at 7896 and a chance of some hesitation. However, this situation gives an impression the market is finally breaking from hiatus since 2022, along with the hope it’s entering a new ball game. This being the case, we can produce a Big Picture cycle ambition at a longer term 8038 with our eventual secondary coming along at 8178 points.

Near term, if the FTSE plans any mischief, below 7719 allows for reversal to an initial tame 7704 points with our secondary, if broken, at 7677 points and hopefully a rebound.

 

Have a good weekend, one thankfully without a boring Grand Prix. Hopefully the next one from Australia shall provide entertainment.

Glencore Plc (LSE:GLEN) going to Australia?

#GOLD #BRENT The London Stock Market continues to attract unfavourable opinions with Glencore Plc being the recipient of a rather nasty letter from a major hedge fund, described as an “Activist Investor”. Their letter starts with ‘London is no longer the home of mining’, going on to expand with reasons Glencore should move their listing from London to Sydney, Australia. It’s hard to disagree with some of the points the investor makes and arithmetically, we find it hard to disagree with the notion the company share price is underperforming. We’re not convinced such a malaise is unique to the mining sector, given the plethora of FTSE100 members who’ve opted to jump ship from London and note TUI and Flutter intend do the same later this year.

Across multiple sectors, companies appear to have been struggling on the FTSE for the last three years. Perhaps it’s about time the FTSE opted to rebrand itself or perhaps urge members to divest themselves of retired politicians taking new careers as advisors, instead appointing people with some faith in the future of the country.

 

Above 435p should prove useful, creating a situation where movement to an initial 486 calculates as possible with our secondary, if bettered, at a longer term 578p and, according to the visuals, some almost certain hesitation, given the level of most recent highs in 2023.

Unfortunately, there’s a massive “however” and it’s shown with the Blue Circled area on the chart. The market opted to gap Glencore down in mid-January this year, celebrating the company decision to decrease the annual dividend along with news of reduced demand from China, ensuring a share price viewed as underperforming by analysts, continued to underperform. We’ve even read one firm of analysts claiming Glencore should be enjoying a share nearly at 10 pounds, Unfortunately, the best we can give at the moment is a third level target of 637p, if everything goes right.

 

Should things intend go horribly wrong, below 400p looks dangerous, potentially triggering reversal to an initial 377 with our secondary, if broken, at a hopeful bottom of just 340p. Unfortunately, there is also the Red Circled area of the chart to consider. If you look at it the right way and engage the correctly negative mindset, it’s potentially a Head & Shoulders formation. The arithmetic associated with such gives a pretty unpleasant answer, suggesting an eventual bottom of 215p. Due to this, we’d be quite worried should our earlier secondary target of 340p make an appearance as it would signify a lower low.

Solgold Plc (LSE:SOLG) showing some potentials

#FTSE #SP500 Our entire knowledge of gold mining in South America has been gleaned from the usually chaotic exploits of Discovery Channels Gold Rush miners, generally where a bunch of “get rich quick” miners and a film crew enter a country, then foul everything up. Sometimes, there’s the added entertainment of bouts of malaria, a consequence of the miners utterly failing to realise what they’re walking in to. Solgold Plc surprised us.

The company focus appears to be establishing world-class copper mines, any search for Gold rarely worth a mention on their website. But recent share price movements seem to have gathered the attention of some traders as we’ve received a few emails asking our opinion on their price potentials.

 

A couple of things became immediately apparent when we ran the numbers. The share has no less than three distinct arguments pointing to a bottom potential of just 3p, a target level the share price has carefully avoided this year despite plenty of opportunity. The lowest share price achieved has been 5.6p, so perhaps this can be taken of an indication of hidden strength. However, the market is messing around with the price to a degree as shown on the chart extract.

Despite the share price soaring during the session on Tuesday, considerable care was taken to ensure it closed below the downtrend since 2022. Perhaps “they” are awaiting news from the company before committing the share price to a zone where some recovery can be anticipated.

This being the case, above 8.95 should now bring recovery to an initial 10p with secondary, if bettered, at a more useful 12.5p. Visually, this is quite a big deal as closure above 12.5p takes the share price into a zone where currently we can calculate a future 16p as possible, potentially returning the share price above the Red uptrend on the chart. We strongly suspect such a movement shall become truly significant.

SSE Plc (LSE:SSE) and some shocking potentials

#Gold #WallSt The market has been behaving quite strangely this year and there’s a surprising underlying bias about a majority of share price movements. Basically, at first glance, it’s pretty difficult to avoid awarding a mental “buy” against rather a lot of stocks. For instance, a quick scan of the top 30 shares traded on Monday revealed just 4 as “we don’t have a clue”, 24 as “probably a buy” and just 2 as “This almost MUST go up”.

This is a set of results we’re not used to seeing, generally the criteria we use tending to give a 50:50 result between “Buy” and “Sell” results. Our rules are, from our perspective, fairly simple. We review price movements over the prior 50 days and apply our target arguments. Those shares regularly breaking drop targets are awarded a “Sell” bias, whereas those regularly exceeding gain arguments are viewed rather more positively. We notice analysts are rating SSE Plc as a “Strong Buy” but we’re inclined to be slightly less enthusiastic. For us to generate such an opinion, the share price would require to exceed an immediate downtrend and also be painting “Higher Highs”, something SSE are conspicuously avoiding. Market analysts use different criteria than ours, focussing on Fundamentals while our own style is to judge what the market looks like doing.

Thankfully, our track record with this approach is self evident.

 

And so, while some grown ups rate SSE as a Strong Buy, our inclination is to rate is as a possible Buy. We note the recent spike to 1697p was encouraging, especially as our in-house logic “only” pointed to 1677p. With it once again exceeding a gain target, we felt safe pinning the appropriate badge on the company. However, at time of writing, the share price needs better 1777.685p to exceed the immediate Blue downtrend and give considerable hope for the longer term. Above 1777p calculates with the potential of a lift to an initial 1816p with our longer term secondary, if beaten, at 1935p.

 

If things intend go wrong for SSE Plc, their share price needs fall below 1547 to provoke some panic as this looks capable of triggering reversal down to an initial 1467p with our secondary, if broken, at a hopeful bottom of 1315p. One final detail is perhaps worthy of mention.

From viewing the SSE chart, along with the plethora of Buy signals, it becomes probable an undercurrent of optimism is liable to start pushing the FTSE upward, finally breaking from of the hiatus since 2021 we constantly moan about!

Lloyds Banking Group Plc (LSE:LLOY), racing to the line…

#Brent #SP500 The racing world has finally found itself competing with UK retail bank share price movements. The 2nd Formula 1 race of this year proved incredible, just 25 overtakes with the highest number being accomplished by a young guy, driving for Ferrari, in the first F1 race of his career. He clearly hadn’t got the memo to tone things down, the TV cameras eventually deciding it was safer focussing on him rather than the appalling lack of action elsewhere. With the regular Ferrari driver being treated for appendicitis, the very young stand-in Oliver Bearman, a Brit, managed to finish with points in 7th place, looking like he’ll be fine to return to school on Monday morning.

Even by last weekends Bahrain performance, it was a truly boring race, but there’s certainly a degree of similarity to the lacklustre performance by Lloyds Bank share price.

 

The immediate problem for Lloyds is roughly at 48.9736p, their share price needing exceed such a level to hopefully trigger some proper action. Above such a level, represented by the Blue downtrend on the chart, should apparently now bring movement to an initial 50.9p with our secondary, if beaten, calculating at a comfortable looking 54.25 at some point in the future. Unfortunately, the visuals promise some hesitation at the 54.25p level, this being a repeated point of hesitation during the last few years. Once the share price actually closes above 54.25p, we’ve an expectation of a future 62.5p and beyond but for now, there’s nothing from the price hiatus since 2021 which suggests the potential for strong upward recovery. Perhaps, similar to Ferrari, they should recruit senior talent from local schools as this might get the share price moving. But we’re not clear on direction!

If things intend go wrong for Lloyds, below 42.2p looks troubling, capable of triggering reversal to an initial 40.2p with our secondary, if broken, at a probable bottom of 35.4p.

 

For now, there are certainly early signals for some optimism and should Lloyds manage to exceed Blue on the chart, it may become slightly interesting for a while.

Our famed FTSE for FRIDAY (FTSE:UKX)

#FTSE #F1 The eternal Groundhog Day in which the UK stock market is trapped continues to frustrate everyone. Across the pond, the US markets are taking turns in painting “New, All Time Highs” whereas here, the only thing worth painting appears to be frustrated lines on charts. The current hiatus isn’t fascinating, just a bit weird, as the UK now appears to be battling with the pre-pandemic high of 2020. Quite why this should be the case defeats us but once again, with the market closing Thursday at 7692 points, we’re in the sacred zone below 7700 points where nothing ever happens.

We’ve a saying in-house; “If it ain’t going up, it’s going down!” but the FTSE isn’t even showing any early warning signs for imminent trouble. It’s just not going up, almost aggressively so, as if some mysterious foot keeps tramping on the brake pedal like a motorist in a 20mph zone with a police car immediately behind. Personally, I’ve an abiding memory of the day I pulled over a police car for such behaviour and am still amazed I’d the gall to do it. I’d literally just collected a new BMW K1200 motorcycle and was riding home, employing supreme caution. Heading through the suburbs, the roads were mercifully quiet but this didn’t stop a police patrol car from tucking in behind me. Driving uphill, a set of traffic lights turned red and I came to a somewhat dodgy standstill, thanks to being a little challenged in leg length. Essentially, I nearly fell over and just knew the two cops were now deciding whether to pull me over for a chat. The lights turned green, I moved head and indicated left, waving at the police car. They dutifully pulled in front of me, so I put the bike on the stand and walked over to the passenger window.

“Any chance of you guys passing ahead? I just picked this up and feel like I’m learning to ride again. Keeping an eye on you at the same time is making me really nervous!”

The laughter proved I’d done the right thing. But yes, the FTSE certainly feels like someone is being a bit over-attentive on the brakes.

 

The immediate situation for the FTSE allegedly suggests above 7712 points should bring movement to an initial 7734 with our secondary, if bettered, at 7766 points. We tossed in the word “allegedly as there’s nothing in recent market movement which justified any real confidence. Who knows, maybe the markets are not moving, due to a self fulfilling lack of confidence! If triggered, the tightest stop for this scenario looks like a fairly reasonable 7670 points.

Our alternate scenario, if the brakes are once again applied, allows below 7670 to threaten a visit to 7638 with our “longer term” secondary calculating at 7588 points.

Have a good weekend. Hopefully the Saudi Grand Prix on Saturday doesn’t provide yet another excuse for a good nap. Currently, with the outbreak of nonsense politics within Formula1, it’s as if they’ve decided creating controversy will keep them in the headlines, despite people choosing to avoid watching the (lack of) racing.

Brent Crude updated (CCOM:OILBRENT) about to flow uphill?

#Stoxx50 #SP500 Unfortunately, it’s time to once again give a lesson about charts. And with this one, we’ve considerable difficulty in comprehending the logic behind it! The story kicks off with our previous review against Brent in November last year, where we provided a scenario for a drop to 72.36 dollars. This feat was successfully accomplished on December 13th, yet the rest of the dire warnings we’d provided are increasingly difficult to justify.

 

The problem, obviously, is twofold so we’ll give three arguments….

Firstly, Brent DID NOT break below our drop target. Secondly, the value of Brent managed to bounce above the level of trend break on the Red line, roughly 79 dollars. And Third is the stinker, the price of Brent Crude is carefully walking up the Red trend line.

Quite why this Third type of behaviour occurs is beyond us; we’re unable to imagine any trading mindset which would potentially promote such movement. But it is happening and also provides what can be quite a useful trading signal, due to us no longer being confident the value of the black stuff is still trading in a zone where a future $57 should provide a logical bottom. Quite the converse is the usual outcome with this series of dance steps as after all, the only sensible conclusion we should draw being that our original uptrend was wrong.

However, there’s often a grand gesture made when a price starts “walking up” a prior trend, a big thank you to those traders jealously defending short positions as they’ve been expecting a tumble for the last three months since the original trend break. Quite when it shall occur is obviously open to the ‘slings and arrows of outrageous fortune’ and in this instance, the reference from Hamlet to weapons of war is probably apt, given the state of world conflicts. It’s almost like the oil market is just waiting for the right excuse.

Currently trading around 82.69 US dollars, above 84.25 dollars looks capable of triggering price movement to an initial $88 with our secondary, if bettered, a perfectly sane looking $93.20. The “problem”, is such movements start to occur comes with the price of Brent moving into a cycle where we can easily imagine a third level target of $111. The funny thing, if this sort of thing takes place, it becomes possible the “Party Central” reputation of Downing St shall be eclipsed by a UK Prime Minister and Chancellor dancing in the street, due to surprise enhanced VAT revenues.

 

For now, we’ve no confidence remaining in the Red uptrend and suspect Brent now needs drip below $75 to provoke trouble in the fashion of reversal to an initial $71 with secondary, if broken, at $69.3 and a probable bounce.
