Barclays Plc (LSE:BARC), mountain climbing?

#Brent #Dax

We’ve a habit, perhaps a bad habit, of awaiting market Futures opening at 11pm on Sunday evenings in the hope of gleaning just what Monday may have in store.  Unfortunately, it’s often the case the only confident signal is the expectation of the markets opening on Monday morning as everything else can be a little vague. Though increasingly, we’ve learned to take the stance if the Futures head in one direction at the evening re-open, we should anticipate the converse direction the following day.

This, obviously, makes about as much sense as the current Coal Mine protest in Germany, an operation approved by the Green Party and also, with remarkable multi-tasking, being objected to by the Greens. It’s proving rather more entertaining than attempts to demonise Prince Harry by the UK media, finally proving Germany does have a sense of humour.

 

Barclays share price also continues to amuse everyone and now faces a little challenge.

The share price has a Blue Line, a downtrend which dates back to 2007, and we’re increasingly curious as to whether it shall have an affect on share price performance in the near term. Friday have us sufficient reason for thought, the market taking the price almost to this trend line, only to hesitate in the final few minutes of trade. This downtrend calculates as being at 181.15p at time of writing. Our software demands closure above this level as being the trigger to commence a movement cycle to an initial 194p. Our longer term secondary, should such a point be exceeded, works out at a sane looking 216p, the same price level achieved as a high in 2022 and therefore, deserving some hesitation. We’re teasing with a discrete line at a long term 288p, this calculating as a potential target with movement above 216p.

For everything to go wrong, Barclays share price now needs below 156 to possibly trigger reversal to an initial 147 with secondary, if broken, a hopeful bottom still at 135p.

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.
