Good evening bracke :)

Good day Disco

Enough of your disparaging remarks! Remember you are dealing with an Elite Guru!

There is certainly some pressure behind the share price which at some point will ease. The test is whether it can maintain its level albeit with a small retrace or whether profit takers bring it back down. I will not be surprised if it wants to test 2000.

If/when it reaches 2100 I will be vigilant.

Hi 2flatBe nice to see £24 by June, but seems a tall order, then again this is AHT.....if bracke sells his long position then the odds may improve! Lol.

[fenners66] 05/4/2019 17:20

Volume on that chart looks better than average today as well

[bracke] 05/4/2019 16:00

BTW I was also wary of yesterday's volume so checked it on the London Stock Exchange site, it was correct. I was thinking did the high volume have anything to do with end/start of new tax year.

The link at 56617 is dated April 05 2019 15.27 BST which is Friday not Thursday?
It also shows the increase as 22...it was 40.

Note the £:$ dropped yesterday and to-day.

smcn
Thanks
Is this an Ashtead Friday I see before me?
More like an Ashtead Week.
Disco if you can get the price above 2400 before the final results.
I will buy you a gallon and not renege.
Have a good weekend one and all.
Cheers

US added another 16,000 construction jobs in March

i think the volume as reported by ADVFN is wrong, bloomberg says about 1.5m shares- i've seen this on other stocks

[fenners66] 04/4/2019 20:18

Well if it continues for a few days I might have

[2flatpack] 04/4/2019 18:34

Evening all
Big day
Seeing a fall at the open I expected a pull back.
Any idea on the volume?
Cheers

Big Geoff leaves next month- hopefully out with a bang!

[fenners66] 04/4/2019 18:13

Mmmm, about the third biggest volume day in a year.....

[bracke] 04/4/2019 17:44

Look at to-day's volume! 5.26 million against the daily average of 1.78 million.

That was a major effort by the bulls to achieve 2000.

Don't you dare let go uppompeii. If it drops below 2000 we will know who to blame!

[uppompeii] 04/4/2019 14:55

Can I let go?

[bracke] 04/4/2019 14:47

And 2000. Now hold.

[bracke] 04/4/2019 11:54

The gap at 1977 is filled. Hopefully it will at least continue up to 2000 but those gaps to the downside are concerning.

[bracke] 03/4/2019 11:35

Good day fenners

When I looked at the £:$ chart yesterday it had not risen following Mrs May's offer to Mr Corbyn. The pink dashed line on the chart below shows where the £:$ was when I viewed the chart.

It's close to filling the gap at 1977 but the recent run up has created several more to the down side.

GBP:USD HOURLY

[fenners66] 02/4/2019 22:13

Err no it doesn't the £ has risen vs, the $

[bracke] 02/4/2019 17:16

£:$ continues to assist 'the cause'.

[discodave4] 01/4/2019 19:36

Cheers bracke.

[bracke] 01/4/2019 16:52

Buyer win to-day.

Need to keep it above 1900, failure to do so may result in gap fills to the downside.

[bracke] 28/3/2019 18:12

And the next day Wed 27th was even larger but look at the range.

It appears that buyers were trying to take it further up but were prevented from doing so by sellers.

It's interesting to look at the 3 month chart above and compare volume with price action. On occasion buyers or sellers have no problem taking the share price up or down. Other times it's a battle. Look at the Jan/Feb action and the Mar action. It appears that bulls have decided that 1800 will not be broken. The interest is if bears will keep the pressure on and go for a big push at an opportune moment or if bulls will hold the line and when events favour their cause go for 1900.
