#Nasdaq #Gold Just for a giggle, we’ve been once again messing around with our absurd time travel thoughts, remaining determined to “prove” when a share price should move to our target levels. There are two holy grails with prices and we’re happy we’ve gone as far as possible in our calculations for target levels. But the other part of the argument has always defeated, generally leaving us looking utterly incompetent in our own eyes. Of course, a history of incompetence doesn’t inhibit us making another go, trying out a further set of formula which “might” even work.
They won’t, we’re not Time Lords!
However, MAN Group share price movements since 2021 do lend themselves to another experiment with time travel, due to price movements successfully managing to meet our timing calculations with the result, another attempt at self flagellation was called for. As always, we shall look forward to a bunch of email reminders, if this goes horribly wrong. As usual, mainly because we still don’t accept things happen within specific timeframes, though there is some evidence to the contrary.
When we throw our timeframe logic at MAN, apparently we should anticipate it visiting 241p sometime around the middle of next January. Our longer term secondary, calculating at a future 271p, should apparently occur in mid-September next year. To be honest, we’ve printed this out and pinned it to the wall, a reminder to award ourselves a pat on the back. Or more probably, a self inflicted knife wound!
Our generally more successful price mapping currently suggests above 216p should trigger movement to 241 with our longer term secondary, if exceeded, calculating at 271p. While lacking the panache of our time travel formula, we still think it safer to promote our traditional way of looking at things, despite the level of patience being required. But it’s less open to ridicule than daring suggest 241p should appear around 16th January, 2026. Gosh, we’ll be in big trouble if any of this timeframe methodology actually works out.
If things intend go wrong, below 181p would promote trouble, along with reversal to 160 and a very possible bounce.

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.
