Barclays share price<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">has exceeded its price level, prior to the pandemic reversal but more importantly, it is doing it above a Blue downtrend which dates back to 2007. Impressively, the share price has continued to accelerate despite a 25% drop in profits in Q1 of this year, thanks to the Bank of England adhering to its dodgy interest rate policies. Adhering to high rates &#8216;cos everyone else is doing it, lacks a single iota of economic sense. A logical suspicion is of the first central bank crumbling and deciding to reduce rates shall be followed by a stampede and a race to the bottom, countries everywhere desperature to alleviate pressure on business.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The immediate situation for Barclays remains quite flamboyant as movement continuing above 207p now calculates with the potential of a lift to 210p next with our secondary, if bettered, now at a significant 221p. This secondary should prove important as it affords the bank share price the opportunity to close a session above its high from 2022 of 219p. From our perspective, this shall be viewed as quite a bit deal, confirming the share price is existing in a zone where a long term attraction calculates as coming from a distant looking 291p.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Should Barclays somehow discover a banana skin to slip on, below 188p risks providing the first real early warning signal as this risks pushing reversal down to an initial 173p with our secondary, if broken, a substantially less likely visit to 148p.<\/p>\n<p>For now, we remain optimistic over the future for Barclays. Thankfully, there&#8217;s nothing dangerous happening in the world capable of derailing things and no important elections coming up, where politicians risk feeding a hungry media their usual load of rubbish&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.trendsandtargets.com\/img\/barc290424.jpg\"
