Sorry.........what positive thing can I post. I know...it did move up before it fell back, at least it tried.

[bracke] 01/10/2015 16:31

Provided it isn't revised down as last time.

[terrys trousers] 01/10/2015 16:26

[bracke] 01/10/2015 15:05

US Construction Spending MoM August

Wolsley didn't help today

Today the gap down to 917 has been filled. I am aware of one more to the downside at 883. There are a couple to the upside.

[bracke] 25/9/2015 12:28

Mrs Yellen has a lot to answer for.

There are gaps all over the place this morning. Unless they are breakaways they will be filled.

Thanks Aunty Janet.DD

Thanks Bracke - so, as I suggested, there was no need for any negative market sentiment due to what Caterpillar had to say generally when weighed against the U.S. New starts data.

Oh how they get jittery these days!

This will cruise up to £11 just as it came back to £10, it simply seems to be taking longer due to all manner of external 'signals'...

URI dropped a lot yesterday and down over 4% again today.Don't think anything to do with Caterpillar, they warned earlier in the year as well.DD

[topicel] 24/9/2015 16:15

Caterpillar warning should be good, no? I mean, less buying of plant means more renting...or am I being too simplistic?

The 5.7% new home sales for August is more apposite I reckon.

US New Home Sales for August + 5.7%

[cockneyrebel] 24/9/2015 14:34

lousy day, just when i thought it was going to go on a good run.

[bracke] 24/9/2015 10:43

Presumptions are risky........rather like share holding.

[az209] 23/9/2015 19:46

I presume that reading your charts has made you very rich ?

[bracke] 22/9/2015 16:52

It broke out and it wasn't a false break.

If the US market moves up the share price is likely to test what was support at 970 but may become resistance.

If the US doesn't move up then the share price is likely to continue down to fill the gap at 917.

[2flatpack] 22/9/2015 09:03

Good call bracke
Jumped out at 960.
Luckily was able to cover my losses by shorting the dax good old VW
cheers

[bracke] 21/9/2015 16:43

The share price has closed outside the range. It's a warning especially as it dropped outside of the range intraday on Friday.

Holders will be hoping it is a false break. If it isn't it may want to fill the gap at 917.

[ianwwwhite] 21/9/2015 08:56

Good morning bracke,

Thanks once again for your views.

I think, in the circumstances, I favour a strategy of 'masterly inaction' until the fog clears..

[bracke] 20/9/2015 12:01

Good day ian

Yes I like "talking his book". It sounds very professional.

Perusing the chart as I am wont to do the question that comes to mind is how long will the share price move sideways and which way will it break?

You will notice that there was similar sideways action from late July to mid August which lasted 17 days. I have looked further back and seen 25 days. So far there have been 13 days.

I don't know which way it will break but beware of false breaks.
