As the entire nation rejoices at Boris Johnston successfully getting someone else to pay for his wedding party, we can sidle into the holiday month with another miracle, mostly un-noticed. Natwest achieved our 248p target from 3 weeks ago, quite literally opting to close the final trading day of July exactly at our target level. As they say in Scotland, “our gobs were smacked!”
It’s worth paying a little attention to movements in the preceding week. Monday proved some early interest, the share price closing the session at 230.2p, just 2/10th of a penny above our trigger level but hey, we’ll take it, the scene effectively set for what was coming. Their Interim Results on Friday thus fell on fertile ground, higher operating profits and a lift in dividend jollying up the party quite nicely. It all proved quite surreal, the share price closing on Thursday at exactly our 230p trigger, then closing on Friday at our 248p target, also achieving a day high of 251.9p. Perhaps very importantly, Natwest share price has now closed a session above Blue on the chart, a downtrend which dates back to 2015. Currently this trend line is sitting around 247.149p, therefore we’re allowed to express further optimism due to the market closing the day at 248.6p.
Folk of a fragile nature may with to sit down for the next bit…
Apparently, now above 252p threatens triggering further recovery to an initial 268p. If exceeded, our secondary calculation works out at 281p.
Either one of these target levels “risks” proving quite significant for the longer term, each hopefully capable of permitting the share price to actually CLOSE a session above 257p. From a really big picture perspective, this is liable to prove quite a big deal, doing the unthinkable by elevating a UK retail bank into the realms of three previously unspeakable words. Long Term Hold. All joking aside, closure above 257p allows us to discuss Natwest at 400p without a giggle similar to describing Max Verstappen as 2021’s Formula 1 World Champion.
We’d be remiss if we didn’t dilute this drooling optimism with some common sense. Natwest needs slump below Red (210p) to spoil all the above calculations.

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.

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.
