ASX:PLS Pilbara - How much more to correct?Pilbara ASX:PLS has corrected nearly 85% from all time highs since Dec/Jan18. Now it is sitting at the Fib 0.854 @ $0.485. How much more will it continue to be shorted? PLS is one of the most heavily shorted stock on the ASX by the way.
The previous bull flag took 69 weeks to complete. Although there might be no correlation but price-action is printing a similar pattern. I am hoping that this is a legit bull flag and that it will bounce here, otherwise we might be looking at $0.41 at the bottom of the channel before a bounce. Let's hope this legit bull flag will bring the price up to the top of the channel for a clean break out.
A First Look at Lithium Ion Batteries (Electric Vehicles)Electric cars (mobility in general) are part of our future. Demand is growing all over the world and producers now exist in Asia, Europe & North America. It's an emerging market and is yet to mature. This makes it interesting from an investment point of view. But when and how to invest? I'm just going to publish my research here as and when I can be bothered. If anyone wants to contribute with news, ideas, technical info I will be grateful.
Lithium Ion Batteries (Li-ion)
Provide energy storage, make up one of the key components in e-vehicles, determine to a large degree vehicle range and performance limitations
Key ingredients incl: lithium (carbonate or hydroxide) as well as cobalt , nickel , aluminium , manganese and graphite
Basically ions (charged particles of lithium) flow from a negative electrode (anode) to a positive electrode (cathode) in a liquid medium (electrolyte).
Lithium is used in production of the electrolyte and cathode
Current li-ion types incl: lithium-cobalt oxide ( LiCoO ) and lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt oxide (LiNiMnCoO or NMC ). NMC takes a leading place in the automotive sector.
Apart from lithium both cobalt and nickel are highly prized by manufacturers and NME batteries, which are made out of all three, offer good safety levels with promising energy densities.
For investors li-ion innovation/production is an important area to keep abreast of. Recently prices of cobalt have gone through the roof, this led manufacturers to look for alternatives such a nickel and manganese. Berkeley researchers claim it is possible to build electrodes without cobalt (cleantechnica.com) which also offer more capacity using manganese for example. So it is important to have a layman's grasp of the technology and ensure knowledge of latest research. It is likely that a variety of different solutions will come online in the next 10 years and the market / physics will decide on the winners.
However, many R&D advances have long lead times to reach production. This makes it unlikely that cobalt will disappear completely from the manufacturing process in my opinion in the near future.
Market Activity
Recently cobalt (Co) has skyrocketed whilst nickel has not increased that much and shows possibility of more growth whilst cobalt looks to be correcting (hard). This is in my view due to
Development of cobalt bubble unsupported by fundamentals
A shift of fundamentals away from cobalt to other metals such as nickel
Does this mean nickel will see continue uptrend at cobalt's expense? The speculative activity in this sector seems to force manufacturers away from the underlying asset / material. Therefore it is imperative to get in early. Again this is an area of very active R&D and fundamentals can change rapidly within limited time, often before uninformed investors can react.
Futures Launching
Another interesting development is the London Metals Exchange (LME) will be launching car battery metals' futures sometime in 2019/2020:
www.cnbc.com
This will include cobalt, nickel, manganese, graphite and lithium. As far as I am aware futures are generally released at the top of a bubble (see gold/silver/bitcoin...).
See recent Tesla bubble and research that shows just how overvalued shares were: all due to e-vehicle hype. New tech sectors are rampant with hype. Just look at fang stocks: all hideously overvalued with exception of Google.
The hype in the e-car market is real and is an area that will continue to grow into the coming decade, but e-vehicles is a real manufacturing sector.
$LPD #Lithium #LPDNEG Daily RSI Divergence playing out strongly on LPD, Gap done on positive new. (perhaps too many announcements on same day).
Looking for a "possible" reversal in the green zone, backed up by the 75 day MA. (has acted as resistance in the past..may act as support) Coming in line with the 61.8% fib level which is a probable spot for reversals.
Watching LIT ETF also for bullish signs.
DONT WANT to see 0.024 Break....
NMX - bottom?NMX is showing signs of finally nearing a bottom. expect more sideways action with some attempted swing trading. but the bear market is not over yet
Watching for re-entry - 200ma & support closebyLithium at the moment is out of fashion but SAV is in a good place for next H2 with Feasability study to come.
Please keep an eye on cash level as they mention they had enough till Q2 so unsure if they will ever raise before the feasability study.
Amazing support at 4.62p so I would think it will hold this level, in case it doesn't don't hold & best to walk away & stay on sidelines.
Very much bullish in the company long term but always best to get the best price as possible.
$ACRL Sites Located Next to Mine that Produces $516 Mil in Gold$ACRL’s land is the ‘Allsopp-Hutson’ star that’s highlighted which they also list in their 10-K: Proof of their Allsopp ownership in their 10-k, Page 11:
“Allsopp Properties: Mineral Rights acquired in the Kirkland Lake Gold’s Macassa mine Complex Ontario Canada. Consists of 1,680 acres.”
They also have thousands of other acres and rights to diamond, graphite and cooper listed properties on Page: 11:

“The 231 foot headframe and shaft sinking infrastructure is now in place at the Macassa Mine. It is all part of a $350 million expansion program which will extend the life of the gold mine for another 15 to 20 years. Eventually the shaft will be to a depth of 7,000 feet( nearly a mile and a half deep). The gold values increase the deeper you go. When completed it is expected to help Macasssa reach production of 400,000 ounces of gold per year.
Why this is of interest to Atacama Resources International is that our three gold properties are all just west of the Macassa Mine and along the same geological fault line. “

Also of note:
The fault intersection analysis being conducted by our geologist team for Atacama 1, 2 and 3, coupled with these historical data will provide the basis for a cost reduced and efficient plan to achieve proven reserves for the company’s gold claims in Kirkland Lake, Ontario.

SQM: Long term potential gains are astronomical...I think $SQM presents investors with massive reward to risk ratios here. Downside is minimal, whereas potential upside is huge. Prices can climb up to $281, in case of a quarterly uptrend, and eventually reach prices as high as $1841.65 over time, whilst paying a hefty dividend as well.
Electric vehicles are a huge source of ever growing demand for lithium, and $SQM is in a prime position to benefit from this trend. There's also the possibility of funds starting to accumulate shares, as new players enter the electric car battery metals ETF market.
Best of luck,

PSC - 2019In micro-caps I've found that the volume is too little for anything meaningful to come of some TA, so instead I've gone down the fundamental approach mapping out some key moments in this developing mine and what we would see if progress is coming.
I've mapped out the last remaining options in late 2018 and 19. I don't see any price action great enough to make the next two options at 5c and 10c worth exercising,(unless a pump in lithium prices and funding secured early) but with holidays coming up slowing progress down I don't see it happening. I see this as a good thing for a current holder who won't see further dilution from past deals.
With the current falling wedge , currently closing around the expected time of a report from funding due around the end of April (from the recent investor presentation) the price will give a clear picture of what results are to be expected.
1) Funding Secured, price slowly starts to grow as news will spread shown by the green arrow after which I would expect a slight sell-off from the news followed by steady growth varying on macro factors.
2) Funding is not successful, insiders see the mine failing, selling begins from inside. (First red arrow) Followed by no news by the expected end of April further decline followed by the announcement where I see a drop to below a cent. (Un-funded, underdevelop, In an uncertain political environment)
If the support around ~.025 is broken I expect some price action around ~0.02
Besides all this, lithium prices have the strongest Beta especially with these upcoming mines relying heavily on its prices to be able to start the mine profitable and help with funding deals. I would've liked to overlay a lithium price chart but couldn't find any. So, all in all, I feel the success lies around the short to medium lithium prices.
Point to note - Having strong ties with the Zim government would suggest the connections the directors have been far-reaching, this should mean a greater chance in finding funding that is willing to take a risk.
Also I'm guessing the later options are the directors as the timing of the end of funding is just before they expire.
AUZAUZ has some work to do in order to breakout from the "Strong resistance line" and also get above this Moving averages. If 0.40 break could see another flush back to that .30 IMO.
Weekly rsi was way oversold along with 4 hour and daily.. This may have enticed the strong bounces from .30..
Watching that overhead Res..
KDR Back on a tear on the back of positive news flowsTesting resistance points on the back of positive news flows.
Still the lingering question of Mining Wardens recommendation to WA Mining minister - Warranting a small retrace/ bounce of resistance points.
Consecutive close above $1.26 would confirm break out.
