Coal starts to climb but delays could remain

Consolidating

Centennial produces thermal and coking coal in Australia. In August, the price completed a reversal from the base of a broad upward trend with the rise through $3.10. Breaking to resistance at $3.60-$3.70, the price has paused beneath $3.50. In the near-term a re-test is likely with the price breaking to $4.35, with a potential of $6.00 and higher. A drop to less than $3.10 would delay the upside.

Preparing to fly

A Queensland coal exploration company, Cockatoo has experienced a volatile share price history. The price action from mid last year has formed into a major reversal phase that requires a price break above 45 cents for completion. When this occurs the stock will gain the potential towards 60 cents-70 cents and then $1. The risk would be a drop back beneath 32 cents.
