#Gold #Japan\u00a0 <\/b><\/span>At one point during the trading session, Hiscox share price was up 15.39%, a truly impressive surge for a FTSE 100 company but of course, it closed the session “only” up 9.44%. This, while marginally below the attention grabbing double digit rise was attributed to their ambitions for the future, along with the intention of the company buying back shares.\u00a0 Such a reduction in issued capital generally will provoke a price rise, fewer shares available to meet investors perceived demand.<\/p>\n

But from a Big Picture perspective, something quite important has happened, the share price within a whisker of achieving the next major milestone for the longer term and that’s closure above 1429p. According to our software, this is a pretty big thing, also achievable anytime soon as the market high on the 6th August was 1454p. We’ve even decided to spoil readers with a zoomed in excerpt from the chart below…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Currently, either closure above 1429 or (allegedly) trades above 1454p should suffice to take the share price on an upward journey to an initial 1700p, effectively matching the highs before Covid-19 chose to spoil the worlds day. Our long term secondary (with closure above 1700p) comes along at 2054p and a new All Time High for the share price.<\/p>\n

To review a scenario, where everything burns to the ground, the share price needs CLOSE a session below 1344p as this risks triggering reversal to an initial 1114p with our secondary, if (when) broken at an eventual 1008p and an almost certain rebound.<\/p>\n

Finally, as it’s August, we’re keeping our headline articles short and sharp which, having changed a minor insurance policy detail recently, should be a relief to the crooked industry! Being charged 15 quid to access my own details online, typing a minor address correction, was somehow deemed worthy of attracting an “Admin Fee” despite the company doing absolutely NO admin.<\/p>\n

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 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
