We quite cruelly refer to market price gaps at the open of trade as “manipulation”. Our reasoning is quite basic, if no-one was able to trade, how else can the market justify the price movement? But if manipulation is your thing, few shares prove quite as fascinating as Easyjet, a share where we’ve been painting little red circles since 2020 on inexplicable price movements.
There are a lot, an awful lot, roughly 10 per year.
From our perspective, it’s a sodding nuisance as software likes data which makes sense. When gaps in the trading value of shares appear, they provoke a degree of confusion and led us to introduce a little piggy bank of gap values against shares. These accumulating values essentially allow for Plus or Minus parameters in any major price movement. To be fair, we’ve as little confidence in this logic proving correct or having any hope the reader will understand the point being made.
With Easyjet, the confusion is strong with this one. We reviewed the share a couple of months ago, promising we’d revisit if the price closed above our 355p target level.
Trading around 390p at time of writing, the share price needs exceed just 415p to give considerable hope for an ascent to an initial 457p with secondary, if bettered, at a longer term 572p. So far, so good, unless we throw a spanner in the works and take account of manipulation gaps. Above our secondary hovers a third level calculation at 793p, a number which visually even looks sane! Our confidence always increases, when target values match historic highs or lows. In the case of the 800p level, the share price has tended to pivot above and below for quite a while.
Unfortunately, this is Easyjet and we’re a little worried at the effort employed to stop the share price from closing above Blue, the downtrend since pre-pandemic 2020. If this avoidance of the trend proves correct, below 370p risks promoting reversal to an initial 323p with secondary, if broken, down at 258p.
We think Easyjet shall offer a surprise and head to 572p next.

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.
