Trading Idea: Buying Barclays PLCDuring the previous 5 days, Barclays has experienced a significant increase in its stock price, rising by 7.46%. This suggests a bullish momentum in the short term and presents a potential trading opportunity. Currently, Barclays has a market cap of $27 billion. The previous day's trading volume totaled 9.74 million shares, slightly below the multiday average of 12.89 million. Reasoning: Barclays PLC has a high operating profit margin of 29.98%. The operating profit margin measures how much profit a company makes from its operations, indicating its efficiency and profitability. Companies with high operating profit margins are often able to generate strong returns for their shareholders. Over the past 5 days, Barclays' share price has appreciated by around 7.46%. However, its performance this year has been 0.27% lower than the Nasdaq. Based on these facts, buying Barclays stock aligns with the strategy of identifying companies with strong short-term profitability. The high operating profit margin indicates that the company is generating significant profits relative to its operating costs. However, it is important to note that this trading idea carries an extremely short investment horizon and an exceptionally high risk tolerance. Short-term trading strategies are subject to market volatility and can result in significant losses if the market conditions change. Technical Outlook Barclays is currently approaching a key support level around $6.89. If the stock breaks below this level, it could imply further losses. However, if it fails to break below this level, it might indicate a retracement. Also, Barclays price action is also poised to test $7.27, a key upper Bollinger Band® level. In addition, Barclays' price action is currently approaching an active Fibonacci support level at $6.76. The market price for Barclays is currently above the rolling moving average, indicating an unusually high price. This suggests that long positions are likely to prevail in the coming days.

The worst is over for Barclays Bank?One of the Uk's 'big four' banks, Barclays bank is looking to make a comeback after being in a corrective phase(or downtrend) for more than a year and a half. The stock made an impulsive up move from the march 2020 bottom and the same went on till Jan 2022.Since then however the stock entered the 'wave 2' correction and has remained in it for more a year and a half. At the most recent Oct 2023 low however, the corrective wave counts for the stock seem to have come an end and it should be expected to now start a fresh 'wave 3'. The stock held its 61.8% retracement on three different occasions and managed to reverse from it almost immediately every time it visited it. On the way up the stock faces its first hurdle from the falling trendline at 155 and then at previous 'x' wave top at 166.44 respectively. On the downside the low of 128.12 is crucial for the stock. The stock is expected to gain momentum upon closing above the falling trendline. It should also be noted that Barclays is a significant component of the FTSE 100. The 'wave 3' projection is expected to take the stock from current levels to around 250-260 mark. Note*- This chart is for educational purpose only.

Barclays Gap Lower on Q3 NumbersBarclays (BARC) Financial Snapshot: Barclays announced a 16% decrease in profit for the third quarter. This decline was primarily attributed to sluggish revenue growth in its UK retail division and lackluster performance in its investment bank, impacted by a shortage of M&A deals and reduced trading activity. However, Barclays managed to exceed expectations by achieving a net profit of £1.3 billion. The bank also sustained a 5% increase in overall group revenue, reaching £6.3 billion, aligning with market projections. Notably, Barclays allocated fewer funds for bad loans than the market had predicted. The UK retail division experienced a 3% dip in attributable profit, mainly due to customers shifting deposits away from higher-interest-rate products. Barclays anticipates a decrease in its net interest margin for 2023, now expected to fall within the range of 3.05% to 3.10%, down from the previous guidance of 3.2% to 3.15%. This metric is one to watch, especially with domestic peers like NatWest and Lloyds Banking Group preparing to report their quarterly results soon. In the investment bank, income decreased by 6% to £3.1 billion when adjusted for a bond overissuance error from last year. Fixed-income trading saw a notable 26% decline, while equity trading revenue more than doubled. Advisory and capital markets fees dropped by 30% due to fewer takeover deals and reduced debt issuance. Market Reaction: The market has so far responded negatively to Barclays' Q3 results, causing a share price to gap lower at the opening of today's trading session. Interestingly, this price gap breached two levels of horizontal support that were established by the summer swing lows. This negative gap is likely to create a layer of resistance on Barclays' price chart in the future. Prices now appear poised to retest the lows seen during the Silicon Valley banking crisis spike that occurred in March (see chart below). BARC Daily Candle Chart Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. Risk Management: The release of financial results tends to amplify a stock's volatility. For those considering trading Barclays, the Average True Range (ATR) serves as a valuable tool to help traders account for a stock's volatility when setting stop losses and limit orders.

Barclays Elliott wavestextbook formation Barclays PLC closed 2022 with a strong performance, accumulating £7 billion of pre-tax profits. However, BCS stock dropped as much as 8% in the trading session following the bank's Q4 2022 report (London trading reference). This was due to a higher cost of risk and a drop in fee income at Barclays' investment bank, partially offset a robust performance at its consumer lending business. However, reflecting on a higher yield environment for all asset classes, I see strong profitability for Barclays in 2023, and I upgrade my EPS expectations for Barclays through 2025. With a $26.4/share price target, Barclays remains a high conviction "Strong Buy."

Barclays has no bulls at all. Yet.Barclays - 30d expiry - We look to Buy at 140.42 (stop at 134.98) Price action continued to range between key support & resistance (140.00 - 175.00) and we expect this to continue. We are trading at oversold extremes. Short term momentum is bearish. Early pessimism is likely to lead to losses although extended attempts lower are expected to fail. Support is located at 140.00 and should stem dips to this area. Support could prove difficult to breakdown. With signals for sentiment at oversold extremes, the dip could not be extended. Our profit targets will be 154.48 and 159.48 Resistance: 150.00 / 155.00 / 160.00 Support: 144.00 / 140.00 / 135.00 Daily perspective Disclaimer – Saxo Bank Group.

BARCLAYS - Clear As Day - Buy @163p REASONS TO BE BULLISH Technical - Recently broke out of a 15 year pennant pattern and just retested for support. Technical - Recently crossed and reclaimed the 50 MA. Technical - MA 50 looking like it may cross the 100 and 200 in future months. Technical - RSI is in the bull zone (bouncing off its base). Technical - A 155p entry was triggered when reclaimed MA and RSI bull-zone on the same candle. We're now at almost the same level. Technical - All-time high was back in 2007. This stock hasn't been touched in 15 years and is now winding-up to revisit the top of the upwards slanting trend-line. Technical - Looks like wave 1 of a 5-wave move is complete/near completion. Fundamentals - Price to earnings is just 4.7. Barclays is looking like incredible value right now. Net earnings up 275% for the year. Fundamentals - Dividend yield is ~4% - not to be sniffed at all in this environment - they may even increase this given how profitable banking with current accounts may turn out to be if the BOE base rate continues to increase. Fundamentals - Implied volatility in the options market is increasing, and it seems like some big players may be eyeing-up Barclays for a big position (likely long but perhaps short). Fundamentals - Less exposed to the U.K. than some of its counterparts (like Lloyds). With U.S. and India appearing in their Top 4 countries in terms of investment. Target 1 - First target would be reaching the underside of the purple channel once more at 260p or £2.60. A 60% move off todays prices. Target 2 - Next profit target would be 750p or £7.50 (a 4.6x move). That could be attainable fairly quickly in the next decade on current trajectory. I don't normally like to post timescales but I am curious to see how this one plays out. Target 3 - The white top line coincides with the 2.272 and 2.414 fib extension (from Mar20 to Mar22). This generates an ultimate price target of between £10.50 (1050p) and £17.30 (1730p). This matches with the extension from the height of the pennant (top to bottom) also. REASONS TO BE BEARISH Technical - Below the purple bear channel and not showing signs yet of being an 'exponential' candidate. Technical - Stop loss will be 140p at the prior low - representing a 12.5% risk. Technical - Only recently broke out of the pennant pattern. Could still reverse from here. Fundamentals - Inflation is not usually too good for growth and banks, with costs increasing as well as profits from interest rates. Fundamentals - With interest rates increasing you'd anticipate that defaults and leverage will unwind in other economies and wreak havoc. Perhaps Barclays have repaired their balance sheet in the last 15 years or perhaps the UK government will continue to backstop, but current market conditions don't make for pretty reading. SUMMARY Buying Barclays here seems like a no-brainer here. Significant dividends in a stagflationary environment cannot be ignored. Neither can we ignore a reasonably priced stock in 2022, as well as a successful backtest of multiple breakouts on our indicators/TA. Time to keep an eye on this one.
