#Brent #Germany The UK prime minister appears to be misinterpreting his other job title as ‘Party Leader’, if the latest stories in the media about wine-time party Fridays in Downing St prove to be correct. While many organisations enjoy a ‘dress down’ Friday, promoting ‘rat-arsed’ Fridays could catch on, setting the tone for weekends to assist the hospitality industry. Meanwhile, UK bank LSE:LLOY appears to be enjoying its own little party, finally.
Such has been the depressing regularity of suggesting a target level of 55p for Lloyds, three weeks ago in our most recent update, we didn’t even bother mentioning the target level. Instead, we simply said “Lloyds needs to trade above 48p to aim for any sort of safety”, assuming regular readers didn’t want us to again repeat our target levels. Finally, on January 4th, some magic happened and the share price was gapped up at the open above the 48p trigger, hopefully entering a brave new world for some movement of strength this year.
The share price has already achieved our 55p level and we’re especially interested in the effects of the two Red circled areas on the chart. The price was gapped down at the tail of last year, gapped up at the start of this year, in a classic GaGa manouvre, one which is now supposed to promote the idea of a visit to 58.5p being possible. Such a target level should prove especially interesting, visually matching the price level enclosed with the Blue Circle at the start of 2020. We suspect this level shall prove some hesitation and only with closure above 58.5p shall we dare exhibit hope for some solid long term movements with the potential of considerable strength. Visually there’s every expectation of a glass ceiling at the 58.5p level but, the lesson from other world markets has been for hesitation to be brief, then share prices continue to move.
Obviously, as we’re discussing a UK retail bank, we’re slightly cautious with our optimism but with share price movements such as experienced during the last 10 days, it’s difficult not to express hope.
Closure above 58.5p should now make a visit to an initial 63.5p possible with our longer term secondary calculating at an impressive 77p sometime in the future.
For things to go horribly wrong for Lloyds, the price needs flop below 44.7p, the level of the previous low, to utterly quash hopes for the future.

Massive thanks to all the folk who discovered interesting adverts to visit on this page last week. Soon, we will aim for Friday being Wine Day…

SUCCESS above means both FAST & SLOW targets were met. ‘CESS means just the FAST target met and probably the next time it is exceeded, movement to the SLOW target shall commence.
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.
