An AIM share worth keeping an eye on

Versarien (LSE:VRS)

This lot provide an ideal example of why we don't need research companies. Suddenly, we're being emailed by a bunch of different folk asking us to run the numbers against a share we've never heard of. We don't need to check fundamentals, that's the investors' job.

The immediate downtrend for Versarien in 'blue' is sitting around at 26.5p currently, and our calculations indicate movement above 'blue' should prove capable of propelling the share price toward 29p.

At this point, it all becomes a bit fraught as, while 29p sounds useful, closure above 27.5p - the high earlier this year - looks pretty essential if a long-term cycle toward 45p is about to enter the frame.

In fact, it's very possible closure above 'blue' (26.5p) should serve to justify a proper growth cycle commencing.

There are very few flies in the ointment with this lot, aside from the salient detail it hasn't yet bettered 'blue'. The red uptrend for 2017 is the only valid uptrend available, and it signals the price requires to slither below 14p to indicate trouble in the direction of 9p initially with secondary, when broken, at a bottom of 3p.

Visually, this appears unlikely, so perhaps worth keeping an eye on.
