#Gold #Nasdaq A few retailers enjoy a share price trading solidly above its pre-pandemic level with Fraser Group pretty much leading the field. Mr Ashley appears to have discovered the sweet spot between online stores and the correct balance of real stores, their share price now showing some interesting potentials. Currently, the media are reporting extensively on their proposed £80m share buyback. It will surely be the case, as shares from the latest buyback are cancelled, any reduction in the number of shares in issue shall surely – in itself – add pressure to the price for further increases in value.
Currently trading around 822p, at first glance the chart doesn’t exactly set pulses raising, bouncing around a quid above and below the 800p level since the start of 2023. In fact, you don’t need squint terribly hard to also attribute the start of 2022 as the year where the 800p trap was developed. Without doubt, a flat trend line at 800p has formed with every time the share price grew above it by x, the months thereafter saw the value drop below the 800p level by almost exactly -x. The behaviour has certainly been strange but we’re inclined to some hope from our analysis of a year ago. We’d given an upper target of 900p, an ambition Frasers did briefly exceed with the added potential of closing a few sessions above the 900p level. This certainly gives optimism from a Big Picture perspective.
The situation now calculates with the potential of movement above 824p hopefully triggering price recovery to an initial 859p with our longer term secondary, if exceeded, working out at 934p and a challenge against the Blue downtrend on the chart below. Our Big Picture potentials should crank open a sleepy eyelid, should the share price ever manage to close above 934p as we’d expect a cycle to commence toward an initial 961p, probably game changing, as our Big Picture secondary calculates at 1142p and a new all time high.
As always, we’ve a “however” we can dust down, though we rather doubt it. The share price needs decline below 778p to ring alarm bells, risking triggering share reversals to an initial 639p with secondary, if broken, at 578p and hopefully a rebound. The implications below such a level risk being seriously messy.

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.
