#Brent #Dax When we reviewed Natwest a few weeks ago, we laid out some criteria for a price reduction to 373p, a target achieved just yesterday. During the course of the session, the price even managed to break our 373p target, hitting a low of 369p, doubtless causing more panic than a sharp knock on the front door after posting a funny political cartoon on Twitter! Now, there’s ample reason for some debate as to what’s next?
As the chart shows, by closing the session at 374.4p, Natwest managed to end the session below the immediate Red uptrend (currently 381p), placing the share price in a zone where further trouble should be anticipated in the future. To be realistic, we can allocate a trigger level at 367p as below such a point risks tipping the scales in favour of a visit t an initial 354p with our secondary, if broken, a bottom down at a painful 341p and hopefully a solid bounce. It’s interesting to note, when we paint a Blue downtrend since 2007 onto the chart, when the bank was known as Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), there’s an arguable bounce point at 345p, the level of the most recent trend break in October last year.
So, what should be expected in a scenario, where Natwest reverses to around 341p and actually bounces? We can calculate an initial longer term 434p with our secondary, should such an ambition be exceeded, working out at a distant looking 472p and some almost certain hesitation.
Overall, similar to the other retail banks, the financial sector actually is currently lodging in a zone, where some long term optimism is permitted. Hopefully the current UK Government, always keen to damage business, doesn’t discover a new and exciting way to derail this rare chance for “proper” share price movements.

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.
