#Brent #Nasdaq Despite the final Grand Prix of the year being “just a little boring”, the incident where the future World Champion was forced off the track by the Japanese guy (who’s losing his seat), was fascinating. Immediately, folk were calling for penalties against Norris who’d successfully avoided a collision, giving a clue as to where their loyalties lay. However, the race ended with the British guy (Norris) as the new champion, and just about everyone else in their proper place except Louis Hamilton who really should be driving with a competitive car, rather than a Ferrari.
Of course, when it all kicks off again next year on 6th March, 2026, in Australia, maybe Santa shall have brought Hamilton the gift of a car with an engine and four wheels which point in the correct direction. Yes, we are biased as Hamilton has really won 8, arguably 9) World Championships, while Verstappen should only be noted for three World Championships. Though we concede he’s turned into a pretty convincing driver, winning the final race of the season without any foul play, other than his team mates failed attempt to collide with Lando Norris which was obviously ‘just’ an accident… On a brighter note, watching Formula1 muted in one window allowed us to watch the latest episode of the latest “Landman telly” show, where it once again remained quality and funny viewing.
Meanwhile, Barclays have failed miserably in producing any negative news reports recently, allowing their share price to accelerate into the realms of acceptable, a truly unusual position for a retail bank. .Barclays continue to exhibit some potentials where now above 445p should confirm the potential of a track to an initial 505p with our secondary, if beaten, at 517p. The proximity of these target levels tends suggest the location of some sort of hesitation in the future, which makes sense, given a cluster of movements back in 2008 when everything was going wrong for the bank sector. The implied suggestion from this is a bunch of folk trapped in Barclays since 2008 shall probably sell when the share price returns to their level of investment, our ‘Bail at Break Even’ (Babe) scenario causing selling pressure and the potential of price stutters in a rising cycle!
For things to go wrong for Barclays, it appears 395p can be safely designated as holding the keys to the gates of doom, a price level which if the share moves below, it has ‘Prince formerly known as Andrew’ potentials”. Below such a level suggests the potential of reversal to an initial 377 with our secondary, if broken, at 354p. But should a knock on the door sound like the siren call of a distant Sarah, actual bottom if breached, calculates at 272p, a level which would require a heavy lift helicopter to escape from.
For now, we’re more optimistic for Barclays than we are for Louis Hamilton’s future at Ferrari, the team where World Champions go to end their careers.

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.
