In fact, we could even say; &#8220;This isn&#8217;t just a Chart Signal, it&#8217;s a Marks &amp; Spencer Chart Signal&#8221; with a reasonable hope our projected outcome shall prove to be correct. Of course, there&#8217;s always a fly and always some ointment but visually, this one looks pretty amazing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A few pundits have been advocating M&amp;S as a Strong Buy, thus provoking a few emails in our direction for an opinion. Surprisingly, we ALMOST agree with them but the set of squiggles which comprise the chart confirm something we often bang on about. The level of a Trend Break is almost always really important.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of M&amp;S, the chart extract below shows a nice little Green line, representing the price level above which we require the share to close, potentially presenting a scenario where some real price growth can be anticipated.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, in a textbook example of our thoughts, share price closure above 360p should make movement to an initial 375p almost certain. Our secondary, if exceeded, calculates at a future 393p. This sort of near 10% price recovery would emplace the share price on a path to a long term 428p.<\/p>\n<p>But of course, there&#8217;s an issue. This is the Stock Market and it&#8217;s rare for something as &#8220;drop dead obvious&#8221; as this to appear. Thus, we should suspect a trap for traders is looming, aside from the absurd (but real) detail of &#8220;that&#8217;s what they&#8217;d want us to think!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To be blunt, we do anticipate M&amp;S enjoying an upward surge and given share price movements since July, it looks pretty confident. Their share price needs close below 330p before the need to buy; &#8220;these are not just any running shoes, these are Marks &amp; Spencer running shoes&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span
