#Brent #WallSt\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b><\/span>It still feels strange projecting a positive outlook at UK retail banks but it’s hard to ignore their share prices, collectively started recovery from the point at which the UK central bank, The Bank of England, decided to lessen harm to the country be reducing interest rates. We’ve often argued it has been too little, too late, especially as the UK now suffers with an interest rate twice that of Europe. However, with a further grudging cut expected this Thursday, it looks like the retail banks are prepping themselves for another lurch upward, despite the harmful UK economic news from Friday showing zero growth.<\/p>\n

Maybe the surge of somewhere between 100 thousand and 2 million far right, rabid capitalists (initial police reports, based on inbound traffic volumes to London, speculated on nearly 3 million people. This was reduced to a more politically acceptable numbers as Saturday commenced…\u00a0 Perhaps the protests on the streets of London shall be regarded as an excuse promote market reversals but, we’re hopeful for a converse stance, especially as the media exposed themselves as actively avoiding accuracy in reporting. We suspect the UK government shall now panic to a degree, demanding the central bank take action to make life more tolerable for business, along with all the far right activists who have mortgages!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are a couple of important numbers which should prove relevant to Barclays. Firstly, above 382p should next trigger movement to 389p and some potential hesitation. However, should such a target be exceeded, we anticipate 401p now making an appearance in coming weeks. We certainly anticipate some dramatics at the 401p level, especially as closure above such a point exposes the share price to a long term attraction from a theoretical 506p. To be fair, we suspect the 4 quid level shall become a barrier in the weeks ahead.<\/p>\n

If things intend go wrong, this share price needs close below Red on the chart, currently 365p. This would be a bit dodgy, allowing weakness down to an initial 348 with our secondary, if broken, at 338p. The proximity of these target levels tends suggest an imminent excuse for a bounce of some sort, essentially part of an effort to slow down the share price rise.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To finish, we’ve decided to acknowledge another method which provides sensible expectation of the weather ahead, here in our bit of Argyll. We’ve a pier outside the house, used by the ferry company to overnight a ferry while it’s refuelled and the bilge pumps given a chance to stretch their legs. But some nights, like tonight, there are two ferries tied up alongside each other. We’re inclined to take this as a sign the weather is expected to deteriorate out in the estuary, the ferry company not wanting their little ships swept away. And additional alarm was provided by the twinkling lights of a 3rd ferry now moored across in the local marina. In other words, it looks like we’ve a windy week ahead, probably with further levels of insane rain.<\/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
