#Brent #Dax Following a little brush with mortality* last weekend, questioning whether things can come back from the dead is probably in particularly poor taste. Unfortunately, the sentiment applies to Lloyds as the share price continues to languish in the gutter, despite recently breaking across its own ruling Blue downtrend. Since the trend break, nothing interesting has occurred!
It looks like 30.9p should now be regarded as presenting a reasonable trigger level to promote some share price movements for this lazy share price. While presently trading around 28p, this may feel an impossible ambition but we’re inclined to take some (slight) hope from the respect paid to the long term Red uptrend which dates back 8 years. The current situation suggests movement above 30.9p should now attempt an initial 34p with secondary, if exceeded, at a mildly more interesting 35.7p.
Our interest in the 35.7p level may prove important as closure above 35.7 should be significant, tipping a pretty major domino in a longer term price movement cycle which ‘risks’ now heading to 48p as a major point of interest.
Of course, the Red uptrend also presents a threat, now suggesting any new weakness below 27.5p could cause the share to retreat to an initial 24.7p with secondary, if broken, at a bottom (hopefully) of 21p. For the present, we’re inclined to mild optimism, if only thanks to the share price having so far avoided the option of closing a session below the point of trend break. This tends suggest the price is awaiting sufficient reason to actually start moving again.
