#Brent #WallSt As the writer is loaded with a particularly unpleasant cold, it was tempting to be exceedingly brief in our outlook for Lloyds. We could say now above 104p should brings a gain to an initial 113p with our secondary, if bettered, at 122p. And we’ll be back in three weeks, without a stinking cold, hopefully able to write something more interesting. But…. we like searching for straws to clutch.
Blue on the chart delineates a downtrend since April 1998. If we extend this downtrend to the current period, it seems Lloyds share price needs dwindle below 40p to indicate the onset of trouble. Otherwise, a quite fascinating scenario exists and if we pretend this Big Picture is important, apparently above 104p should – for the terminally patient – suggest a cycle has commenced to a future 200p with our LONG term secondary, if bettered, at 316p. In fact, we can calculate quite a bit higher but dreams of Lloyds turning into an 8 quid share are probably best left on the shelf.
Our lower chart is probably more realistic, with its suggestion of above 104 triggering some real recovery within conventional timeframes, effectively proposing the potential of a future 122p provoking some hesitation in a rising cycle.
An inevitable alternate scenario suggests weakness below 91 risks promoting reversal to an initial 84 with our secondary, if broken, at 71p. Visually, there’s quite a strong suggestion any visit to the 84 level shall doubtless provoke a rebound.

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.
