#FTSE #Gold Our three weekly look at Natwest has surprised us a little. The share appears to be starting 2022 in optimistic territory, the price somehow discovering an ability to close the 4th of January at 234.9p! By a miniscule 0.6p, the share price has closed at a higher high, since the Blue downtrend was conclusively broken last year. Apparently, it’s now time for party poppers…
While we’re a little “tongue in cheek” with optimism, there is a harsh reality and it’s that the markets rarely send this sort of signal without it actually proving realistic. Perhaps importantly, the bank share price is also trading above it’s pre-pandemic level and if experience with other markets worldwide is to be accepted, this should also provide a significant clue as to the future for the share price. Thanks to this overload of optimistic signals, we’re inclined to take a step back and review the share price potentials from a Big Picture perspective.
Apparently we are now supposed to accept Natwest share price has entered a longer term cycle to an initial 316p. Closure around this level shall prove important, thanks to a perfectly obvious glass ceiling at the 300p level. Our long term secondary, in the event 316p is exceed – or the price closes above 300p – works out at a visually pleasing 369p, a price level at which we expect some hesitation.
For things to horribly wrong for Natwest, the share price currently needs reverse below Blue on the chart, presently 207p. Such a movement would quite strongly suggest investing in running shoes but for now, this particular retail bank provides some hope for the future.
Massive thanks to the folk who found a few adverts worthy of their interest on this page. We’re upgrading our coffee!

Our commentary is in two sections. Immediately below are today’s updated comments. If our commentary remains valid, the share can be found in the bottom section which has a RED heading. Hopefully, this will mean you no longer need to flip back through previous reports. HYPERLINKS DISABLED IN THIS VERSION
Please remember, all prices are mid-price (halfway between the Buy and Sell). When we refer to a price CLOSING above a specific level, we are viewing the point where we can regard a trend as changing. Otherwise, we are simply speculating on near term trading targets. Our website is www.trendsandtargets.com.
UPDATE. We often give an initial and a secondary price. If the initial is exceeded, we still expect it to fall back but the next time the initial is bettered, the price should continue to the secondary. The converse it true with price drops.
