Compared with high street peers, JD has had a phenomenal year. This analyst gives his view on potential.
JD Sports Fashion PLC (LSE:JD.)
JD Sports (LSE:JD.) have experienced a truly impressive rise in share price since 2014 and normally we'd be concerned about the recent hiatus in climbing potentials.
There are early signs this hesitation is about to ease as movement now above 830p calculate with the potential of an initial 853p. If exceeded, our secondary works out at a longer term 902p.
We cannot calculate higher than 902p but would stress, especially in the case of JD's, this historically means little and it shall be worth keeping an eye out for the market gapping the share price up anytime now.
This will tend to suggest 902p as proving extremely valid, perhaps a point where some hesitation may occur, but we'd need take another hard look at the tea leaves at such a level.
Presently trading around 820p, the price needs go below 720p before alarm is justified as this will indicate the immediate uptrend has failed.
Additionally, it allows future reversal to commence down to 622p initially with secondary, if broken, at 554p and hopefully a proper rebound.
For now, it appears optimism shall be justified.
