Lloyds Bank (LSE:LLOY), who killed Santa?

#Gold #Stoxx

 

Time’s a funny old concept. Back in 1958, Scotland opted to celebrate the festival of Xmas with both Christmas & Boxing days declared a National holiday. Before then, we only had 1st & 2nd January to shake off winter chills, two holidays which thankfully remain. Equally, Lloyds was once a promising share, the good days starting to vanish in the depths of time as we face the ridiculous.

Currently, the share price now needs CLOSE above 46.54p to give the first clue some gains may be expected. When it opted to close 28th December at 46.24p, how we laughed… It’s still the case the market isn’t in the mood to do Lloyds share price any favours. Hopes of a so called Santa Rally are degenerating into a “Who Killed Santa” mindset.

A near term scenario suggests intraday traffic above 46.82 may give early warning for some gains, calculating with the potential of bringing an initial 47.30p with secondary, if bettered, at 48.30p. Obviously, none of this is of any particular interest but it does effectively more the share price into a region where closure above the trend looks possible, along with an unusual expression of hope for the long term.

 

We remain doubtful, thanks to recent share price performance. Instead, it looks probable traffic below 46p shall provoke reversal to an initial 45.3 with secondary, when broken, at 43.9p, along with a hopeful bounce.

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.

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.

If something has gone volatile and a quick answer is needed, we’ve probably already run the numbers on it. As you’ll appreciate, we try and avoid spamming people needlessly.
