#Gold #SP500 A subject close to our hearts, the weather, makes us hate the Weather Services. They obviously are not to blame for Argyll’s often dreadful climate but instead can be painted as Clickbait Hungry by releasing news reports which are designed to give the media cheap headlines. Once the immediate panic declines and folk ponder 40mph winds which had the potential to exceed 70mph, one cm of snow which had the potential of being 20cm, and more usually, torrential rain which was supposed to be light showers. For some reason, they never get rainfall right! And of course, sometimes the sun also appears.
We’ve a similar unfair negative bias toward London Stock Exchange Group, feeling like they deserve a portion of the blame for the often appalling treatment of some shares, especially the UK’s AIM market. However, this is as silly as blaming the Met Office for Argyll’s ridiculous level of rainfall. As an instance, since the start of October, we’ve been waiting for the ground to dry up prior to repairing a garden wall built with heavy stones. Six weeks later, the cement remains unmixed and the pile of rocks untouched. We know the mountain in our back garden is to blame for the constant rain, but we still detest the Met Office and their rabid adherence to a clickbait agenda.
London Stock Exchange Group (or LSEG to its pals) share price has performed with reasonable potentials in the last few weeks. LSEG share price was gapped above the uptrend since 2019. This is theoretically very positive, carrying the suggestion share price movement above 9,250 should become useful, ideally triggering gains to an initial 10,245 with our secondary, if exceeded, calculating at 10,984p and some probable hesitation, judging by the visuals. But overall, a fascinating 12,000p seems to be introducing an attraction, something similar to that experienced in Argyll when any rain is possible.
On the downside, we fear the risks of any movement below 8,740 as this risks triggering reversals down to an initial 8,003p with our secondary, if broken, at a probable bottom of 6,628p.
For now, we lean toward optimism with this share price.

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.
