Lloyds Group (LSE:LLOY), trading around 82.73 at time of writing.

#Brent #Dax It is really not often you come across true genius in scriptwriting but the new movie, The Fantastic Four holds a gem, literally right at the end.  The film is over, accolades awarded, and the superhero team go to their superhero flying car to soar off into the sunset. But there was a major problem, the three superhero bloke’s were tasked with fitting a baby seat to their superhero car. Most guys will recognise the flickers of suppressed fury while they each struggle with what should be the simplest of jobs, studiously avoiding falling out with each other. Regarded as “the one who knows how stuff works”, I remember experiencing exactly this scene with  my brother-in-law and years later, my son-in-law.

Of course, the seriously irritating thing about baby seats is how simple they are to fit, once your horrible sister or horrible daughter takes the time to smugly explain in under 5 seconds! Usually after they push a button which automagically folds a push chair and makes it fit in a car boot. And as for The Fantastic Four, by the time the titles appeared, grand-daughters and their pals had vanished, along with their smartphones. It would be easy to anticipate it being on BBC around Xmas this year which is probably a fair summation of the ode to CGI. However, the girls did watch The Wrong Paris on Netflix, keeping them entertained  (and off their phones!) for a full 1hr and 46 minutes.

 

Proving about as predictable a The Fantastic Four, perhaps because it’s a member of the infamous Clown Show Three (Lloyds, Natwest, Barclays), it would make quite a lot of sense for Lloyds share price to slink down to around 73p, matching the point of trend break on the Blue downtrend. There’s no hard and fast rule which says this should occur, just fairly typical market behaviour on the FTSE under the guise of trading patterns. Once it has paid homage to the 73p level, at such a point we’d hope for a solid bounce, the share price once again executing some reasonable future expectations, an initial target still remaining at 88p with our secondary, according to our latest batch of tea leaves, coming along at 110p and some very probable hesitation.

Of course, such a scenario, while visually logical, falls completely apart if the share price manages to close below 73p. Such an event opens the door for a fall to an initial 71p with our secondary, when broken, calculating at an eventual (hopeful) bottom of  66p.

Our expectation remains Lloyds Banking Group intend drive their little clown car to 110p. But the journey may take some time.

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.
