Natwest, as boring as F1 from Miami!

#Brent #Dax

Natwest share price looks more interesting than the Miami Grand Prix. Unfortunately, this isn’t entirely a complement, the race proving pretty uninteresting despite Max Verstappen looking like he’s heading for his 1st real world championship, if he can only finish races. Three weeks ago, when we reviewed Natwest, we warned of the dangers should the share price break below 206p, something it failed to do. We also mentioned an early sign of hope, if the share price would only exceed 226p. With breathless excitement, one day it closed at 226.4p, then, like Miami Formula 1, nothing much happened since.

 

We’re now a little nervous as to what the future holds for Natwest. In reality, it made an upward trigger yet failed to respond. Everything is now being blamed on the popular holiday destination, Ukraine. Surely, this hotspot for politicians, politicians wives, musicians giving performances, is supposed to be the centre of a war zone? But the US presidents wife visited to photo opportunities at the weekend, while over-rated musicians U2 gave a concert. It all appears quite strange, a world away from how the media treated the Gulf War or even events in Afganistan. Perhaps TUI travel intend offering all-inclusive weekends in Ukraine sometime soon!

Perhaps this is what Natwest are doing wrong, failing to announce new branches in the war torn country. Then again, there was a period at the start of WW2 which became known as ‘the phoney war’ for the UK. The weather apparently co-operated, allowing the population to spend rather a lot of time at the beach until suddenly, everything changed.

 

The situation remains slightly unchanged with Natwest, below 206 now suggesting the potential of reversal to an initial 194p and a challenge against the uptrend since 2020. If broken, our secondary is at 182p and a very possible bounce, given this matches the Russia/Ukraine low of March. Importantly though, closure below 192p risks proving quite traumatic from a bigger picture perspective, showing the potential of a further nose dive to 154p.

However, by just 0.4p, Natwest did manage above our trigger level, creating a situation where above 227p should now being miracle recovery to an initial 243p with secondary, if bettered, now calculating at 256p.

We suspect Natwest intends reversals.

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.
