#Brent #WallSt The funny thing about the Aurora Borealis is, once you’ve seen it, it’s easy to recognise it thereafter. Tonight, for instance, at 3c and with low grey cloud, above the cloud the sky is doing its own disco show with sudden streaks of light visible through the murky sky, an evening when little excitement was expected by the boffins. In fairness, the layer of cloud was certainly concealing all but the brightest stars and seeing a sudden laser beam of white light shoot across the cloud was interesting, perhaps a couple of drinks short of fascinating! But at least, it was obvious what was going on.
It starts to appear LSE:IGG may be on the verge of producing some results from behind a veil of obscurity. One of our “things” is the horizontal trend such as shown on the chart below. This delineates a Red trend line at roughly 965p, dating back to 2016. With the share price breaking through this trend, we are forced to conclude the next target level should be at 1121p with our secondary, if beaten, lurking at 1277p and almost certain hesitation in any rising cycle.
The immediate picture is less rosy, hinting at weakness below 995 being capable of tripping an explosion of reversal to an initial 943 with secondary, if broken, at a possible bottom of 890p. Despite these numbers making quite a lot of visual sense, we would hope any reversal finds itself stifled by Red on the chart, 965p, providing a surprise bounce level capable of funding future gains.
As is normal with IG Group, perhaps it is time to execute the crossed fingers trading strategy…

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.
