Fascinating where the fib levels fall on the weekly chart.......ok, I admit, there are more interesting things in the world, but I'm a bit anal when it comes to a balanced chart - lol!!

Hi TF can you please link me to the candle formation "middle finger" ??

I think the analysis has been pretty well covered here on Friday by RC and KK imho. havent had a chance to catch up with other post since tbh.
Here's a chart in any case.
uk.advfn.com/p.php?pid=chartscreenshotsh...sWp8=&symbol=L%5EGKP

The bullish crosover of the 20&50 ema's, has not been mentioned, sometimes these can result in a explosive move, sometimes they don't have much effect tbh. i prefer the (50&200 day crossover).

Here is what happened the last time we had a 20&50 day crossover and the price action was at around the 80p area, back in 2010.

I didn't want to leave this without re-checking the higher time frames.

Monthly:
uk.advfn.com/p.php?pid=chartscreenshotsh...Pc%3D&symbol=A%5EAPT

At resistance but RSI has broken out, so from a monthly perspective it looks like the downtrend is coming to an end, but hasn't acted yet. RSI generally leads price. It does re-confirm to me that the bottom is in, which I posted earlier. Monthly trumps weekly and daily so actually, this tells me all will be good in time.

Weekly:
uk.advfn.com/p.php?pid=chartscreenshotsh...zI%3D&symbol=A%5EAPT

For me, the weekly has been the most reliable over past months.
Like the daily, SP touched resistance this week and retreated. RSI is pretty much at resistance now.

Overall summary based on TA is that we are at a major crossroads but balance is positive. Falling wedges have a bullish bias.

I think it will, but this is GKP. The wide and frequent/excessive swings/hype is what we love about it.

TA aside, IMO it is overvalued at 80p and my ceiling is still 89/90. CPR was 68p and that was with 100+ oil and pre IS prominence. Would be interesting to see their economic model now. This is what the City/analysts will have in front of them. Being paid is good and probably worth a nice rise but we've had that. It doesn't change the mess the company is in.

From a TA perspective, my charts say we are still in a downtrend. Could very well break through and I hope for holders that it does, but the SP was making my nose bleed at 85. I'd be careful as human emotion always tells you to buy at the top and sell at the bottom when the reverse is rational.

Just my view.

Hi F4T

Are you still of the opinion that this should drift back down? Will you be taking a position if it goes any higher?

I would hate to spoil the party but, but....errr..not quite

GKP is in Uptrend for me

3 HH and HL on daily
Backtest of rising TL today
Todays candle making a HH & HL

tinypic.com/r/2ltimat/8

TL break & close above on weekly
Rising trend on the weekly

tinypic.com/r/16gact5/8

Long today on break of 76.75
SL below yesterdays candle and rising trendline - below 65.50

Target
1. 89.75 previous high
2. 116.75

Just for interest - If you plot descending line from wicks of historic high and next high wick of 240p (court case high), it looks like yesterday was a backtest of breakout to descending resistance. Depends where you plot the line, but there are way more touches to the line when done this way, and therefore for me adds more significance to it. I know it's subjective but....just sayin'




screencast.com/t/nyNtzX1wWUg

Looking good here!!!!

Take out 89,75p and it's game on - Monday?

uk.advfn.com/p.php?pid=chartscreenshotsh...FE%3D&symbol=A%5EAPT

Downtrend still intact.
Close above 75 TODAY is key for bulls. Next upside resistance at 81, then 85, 89.75.
Break of trendline / SMA's at 64 key for bears. Next downside support at 59 then 50, 42.25.

Have a nice weekend all.
F4T

85p the key level... some way from there atm, but making progress, so lets see.

If it can break 85p, will race to 100p area very quickly imho.

Things going to plan here. Bounced off ascending trendline.

Nice call KK. Well, a bit of everything this morning. Island reversed as you noted it might, but I was glad to see it form anyway as it looked likely from my analysis.
Key for bulls is that the downside gap closed. If this had stayed open it would have proven very stubborn on the next rise, as we have seen with the other upside gaps.
I fully expect this to drift now down to my targets as interest wanes but the downside gap close opens up both ways as being possible. I expect indices to have one more dip before a rise into year end. It this happens it should give stocks some impetus.

Will post again when we meet another crossroad.

...Actually, not too disimilar to Diver's chart.

screencast.com/t/F79ilHjSUVRc

Laters.

F4T - No problem - Just didn't want holders getting scared when I know such a pattern can reverse quickly as it has already. As you said, the time to buy was below 50p. Favouring my first scenario now, with the EW count.

GLA

dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7238706/Gulf...td%20%28daily%29.png

A possible scenario.....

Thanks for the info on island reversals KK. Interesting as in my experience they have always been effective.
If you strip out all the emotion and positive bias it is clear that this is over bought and extended. 100% in a month, asset value, crude prices, war and reversal patterns! The time to buy was below 50, not after such a rise. We will see very soon.

F4T - Just for a bit of balance here, According to Bulkowski, "the Island top or bottom has the worst performance rank of ANY chart pattern - Dead Last - regardless of the breakout direction."

thepatternsite.com/islandrev.html

So I wouldn't put tooooo much emphasis on that if it gaps down - only to reverse, as this pattern frequently does - hence the bad performance rate.

I can see a bull case and bear case here, for an exercise the other evening I drew some upward channels on the chart just to see what we might be looking at if the trend change is confirmed at some point. It's quite enlightening the interaction of wicks and open and closes with the trendline channels. Guess where it closed today? Bang on the bottom of the channel trendline. The target at top of channel tomorrow - the same as Trendfriend's bull flag target £1.....



screencast.com/t/UmdzDj6jT

Close call tomorrow, too many mixed signals, I can see the case for one last leg up adjusting EW count and upward channel support, and can see the bear case for a pullback as I've mentioned below....tomorrow will tell.

GLA

Food,i cannot seem to find the 'No Thank You' button but when i do,i shall be pressing it.

one more leg to the upside to come here imho. sideways in a range building strength atm, small pullbacks are good, and healthy in a up move.

Clear bull flag formation, target around the 100p. (have you heard anyone else tell you that??)
Be flexible around the mid 90's (200 day ema), if we get there, lol!

One the of the best flag formations i've seen in a while imo.

Whichever way it goes, its nice the see all the different views.

Regards,
Trendfriend.

P.S despite all the apparent doom and gloom, this is still holding and above the RSI support from mid Oct!!

F4T:

"Today close somewhere near the top of the gap."

'Tick.'

For a bit of fun, here's what I would like to see over the next day or so.

Today close somewhere near the top of the gap.
Gap down tomorrow at open (open below 75p) and then a further sell off.
That would leave an island top which spells doom. We don't see island tops or bottoms very often, so if it happens it will be special and they are usually quite powerful.

I don't bet on news btw.

F4T

PS: Bearish Harami looks like becoming a three inside down reversal pattern. Looks promising for the bears.

Gap, ema50 and the bottom of the channel lining up nicely for tomorrow am

Hi KK,

no change in my thinking from my last post. There wasn't much trading over 83 the other day, so that held for me.
I expect a retrace of at least 50% of the rise, so minimum to 64 which is also the 50SMA and probabaly to the 20SMA at 59/60. I am not a follower of EWT (but like to see it), so your wave count looks good to me.

I would like to see 50 tested again, but that is just me.

I do think that the bottom is in though.

Bearish harami yesterday gives you the hint of what's to come.

GL
F4T

F4T - What you thinking?

Thanks in advance!

F4T - Cautiously bullish, there seems a clear count up and maybe now it's due a correction for wave 2... But that's only if the count down is right and the bottom is in. So could be the classic case of sell before news, as it could well be pretty much priced in after the 100% rise. I'm guessing something like this....though maybe the count could be wrong?! Dunno. Need to see tomorrow's price action as I'm sure it will be telling - ready for the 13th.

P.S - I can't mention the reversal pattern.

I feel more like a koala with a nose ring

I see that all the GKP bears are now bulls!

............. where it looks like £1 will be the first significant number.

is a change gonna come? getting close to 'the day' - we'll just have to wait and see!

Not looked at any upward channels on this for so long, so used to the downtrend trend - but as the short term trend has been up, I thought I'd plot some upward channels for a change to see where we might be headed, just as an alternative way of looking at things, and replicating channels. It is quite enlightening to see how the candles have reacted with touches and opens/closes of trend lines, especially how the gap up from the morning can be interpreted. So if the bottom is in, (nice 100% rise for anyone buying the bottom and selling at the top so far) is this where to look for support and resistance? Maybe too early to call until we break above 89.75p, but it is within grasp. Also some other levels to look at...

screencast.com/t/wM5iDNwWR

wassup folks... work needed still , however things are starting to look good... measured moved target on this run up i expect at least a test of 100/102p... if gkp can get abv n hold 85/85.5p... short term 71/68 must hold on a pullback

will post up charts later and some thoughts.......

BTW - nice analysis on here.. keep it up !

Thanks F4T,

Funnily enough I have 82.75p as resistance on my tunnel set-up. It is also in the same area as gap resistance from 27th Aug - 82.5p I think. With all the excitement on the boards though, there is a chance it could just spike through towards 100%fib extension 92/93p area which is also around the 200 exponential and simple moving average on the daily and top of my tunnel, then settle around 82p/83p area. I know that's not what you're expecting but IF it did, it would certainly be something to get excited about as you say. But being GKP, I am not counting my chickens until I see what happens in the 82/83p area. Interesting few days ahead.

screencast.com/t/U07eDb0f

GLA

Very much appreciated. Thanks again.

Hi All,

a quick summary:

uk.advfn.com/p.php?pid=chartscreenshotsh...opow=&symbol=A%5EAPT

We broke out on the monthly last month. Trendline resistance in the 83 area to break downtrend.

uk.advfn.com/p.php?pid=chartscreenshotsh...Hs%3D&symbol=A%5EAPT

Weekly is approaching/close to RSI resistance. MACD and RSI divergence playing out. Fridays close was at the 20wkSMA. Downtrend resistance in the 89-91 area for the week coming. This is also the last swing high. Hanging man type reversal pattern. Weekly looks like the rise is pretty much done.
uk.advfn.com/p.php?pid=chartscreenshotsh...0ARw=&symbol=A%5EAPT

Daily had an RSI breakout Friday. Horizontal resistance at 76. SP has exceeded 61.8% retracement of fall from 89/90 which is promising. Also closed at high. Trendline resistance in the 83 area.

So, from a TA perspective, monthly has resistance at 83 as does the daily. Weekly looks like the rise may be done/will stall. Daily looks pretty good but resistances at 76 and 83 not far away.

From a non TA point of view, the exciting news seems to be out and GKP always sells on news. Presumably most of the 75MM will go to Genel and DNO, but it is encouraging?

If is breaks 83 there may be reason to get excited but for me 89/90 is the key level to get excited about. I don't expect that to be broken any time soon. If I were to guess based on TA, my money would be on a spike to 80, 83 max tomorrow/this week followed by the inevitable retrace.

Remo, F4T,

I'm really interested to hear your views on the recent price action. I'm looking for a position to go long. Do you think we've had the 123?

Thanks

Sorry chart links were not in previous post

Agree KK,
On my daily, today's close is just nosing over the LT downtrend line (but I guess there is interpretive error on where we draw out lines here, as illustrated by TF's chart in my case I have included the wicks), my weekly is just touching LT trend line.
Interesting days ahead early next week, it will either pull back or break on through.
(RSI on my daily has also just nosed out too from downtrend line)

Diver - closing price was 75p!

Hi Lib,

Sadly have no access to Chat these days so things are a little limited.

There was a good report from the KRG to say they had sold $3 billion since January and would be making an initial payment of $75 million to producers today. This followed a report yesterday saying output was approaching 300,000 barrels a day. So, as long as the rebels can be held at bay, there is hope.

A close of 73.00 fits the bill nicely

Trendfriend

Using the touches from the wicks, I've got this as a breakout on daily and weekly. I obviously wanna see what the action is like next week, but that bullish crossover on my chart setup that I posted earlier in the week indicates more to come for me.

the levels to beat, imho, 76.25, 82p (trendline, falling daily), if it can get above the mid 80' i think it will really get boosted!
Good weekend, and ATB folks,
