#Brent #SP500 It only took a global pandemic for us to appreciate Xmas trees and lights are a pretty good survey of the mood of the country. In 2020, when Xmas decorations started to appear at the start of October, they provided a pretty good sign of the public opinion on the misery of Lockdowns. The next couple of years saw the beginning of Xmas pushed back slightly until last year, when I think our decorations went up the preceding weekend in something of a panic. But this year, things changed with Xmas trees being in evidence since the first weekend of November with this weekend proving to be “Springtime, for Xmas, in Argyll”. We can only judge the mood of our patch of Scotland is less than happy and friends in Edinburgh are reporting similar sightings of early Xmas trees flourishing in peoples windows.
If the proliferation of Xmas trees in indeed a converse sign of a miserable nation trying to cheer itself up, two little baubles appeared in the NatWest share price movement chart, our dreaded “Gap Up/Gap Down” pattern (GaGa) which often provides a reliable indicator for coming misery. From our perspective, the problem with LSE:NWG makes itself known as we’re still a little hysterical about the 551p level. If our GaGa signal of doom plays out in accordance with our usual calculations, it appears weakness next below 567p risks triggering reversals to an initial 561p with our secondary, if broken, down at 539p.
This secondary is a problem, affording the share price the opportunity to close a session below 551p and spoiling all our carefully thought out gain potentials for the longer term. We’re actually pretty serious about this as NatWest had compiled a pretty solid argument in favour of a distant 784p.
Of course, there is even a larger problem with this GaGa movement as, by forcing reversals below the Blue downtrend, the share risks tripping a Big Picture calculation which proposes an eventual relaxation to a bottom of 433p. This obviously spoils the immediate party the share price is enjoying but unfortunately, to trash the negative GaGa signal, the share now needs exceed 600p to once again drag 784p back into the frame for future ambitions.
At present, the best we can hope is our GaGa calculations prove incorrect and NWG fails to close a session below 551p. Or in other words, a Festive Fingers Crossed 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.

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.
