The B&Q owner's share price has taken a hammering of late. Our chartist looks out for rebound potential.

It appears weakness now below 201p on Kingfisher (LSE:KGF) shares should flush the price down to 184p next, a point at which we'd expect some sort of rebound. But take extreme care, should 184p break as it could easily drain down to 166p next.

Worse, from a big picture perspective, the share price is already trading in a region where negative news could drip the value down to a bottom, hopefully, at 142p in a blink.

For any near-term bounce to prove viable, the share price requires exceed 222p to enter a cycle towards an initial 235p.

If exceeded, we'll be suitably convinced bottom is "in" (for now) and hope, if 235p bettered, our calculation of secondary at 249p shall prove valid.
