A ‘watched toaster never boils’, ‘waiting for the dishwasher spin cycle’, ‘a sure thing’. We like to spice our lives with these quaint homilies, little trite sayings which promise nothing other than confirmation of a gullible nature. Three weeks ago, reviewing Lloyds, we added; ‘an unusual expression of hope for the long term’ to the list of nonsense sayings.
While our predicted movement was indeed correct, the market proved quite spiteful as we’d only been predicting movement of around 1.48p, a financially useless gain but nevertheless, one which nudged the bank share price into a region with; ‘an unusual expression of hope for the long term’, immediately hating ourselves for this potential crossed finger moment. To be fair, visually Lloyds share price requires closure above 50p to give hope.
Despite bettering the immediate closing price downtrend, along with the Blue ‘high of the day’ downtrend, the bank share is teasing traders by remaining blatantly below the 50p level. This Green horizontal trend – or glass ceiling – looks like the real villain of the piece, hinting strongly only closure above 50p shall prove useful to signal coming share price recovery to an initial 56p with secondary, if bettered, a longer term 62p. Both target levels look sane, our secondary at 62p matching the share price pre-Covid levels, bringing a logical ambition for the future along with almost certain hesitation.
If everything intends go wrong, or at least suffer a slowdown, below 47p looks capable of reversing to an initial 45.5p with secondary, if broken, at 44.5p and hopefully yet another bounce and attempt at redemption.

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.
