#FTSE #Nasdaq Rather than do anything crude, such as trying to weave the simultaneously addictive and ridiculous John Wicks movie franchise into a report on Wickes DIY group, we decided a group of bullet holes on a chart would suffice! But Wickes Group share price has exceeded our expectations from our previous analysis 6 months ago, giving some considerable potentials for the future. Perhaps the market shall also realise the spell of good weather has enabled gullible and ambitious DIY projects, all of which will feel like they are going on forever.
Wickes Group share price is slightly fascinating. When we previously reviewed them, we’d commented on the potential of movement to just above the 200p level. It transpires the number we were talking about was just 203p, the share value being gapped and accelerated above this level just at the start of this week. This has created an interesting potential from a Big Picture viewpoint.
It is now the case where price growth above 218p calculates as capable of recovery to an initial 236p with our secondary, if bettered, at 248p. Overall, it feels like closure above 236p shall emplace the share in a zone where a long term ambition at 292p works out as possible.
Something fairly strange has certainly happened, optimism suggesting a return to the highs of 2021. However, if everything intends go horribly wrong, below 181p will suggest real panic, almost like buying something with a “Black & Decker” brand name from B&Q, products which rarely last the length of a project.

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.
