NatWest Group (LSE:NWG) shares have entered a cycle which suggests weakness below 505p shall trigger reversals to an initial 489p, a potential fake bounce, and if broken an eventual potential bottom at 464p.

The danger comes as we don’t regard 464p as a “bottom”, suspecting a longer-term drift down to an eventual 410p shall prove possible, if the 464p level breaks. Visually, a visit to 410p makes more sense.
In the unlikely event things intend go right for NatWest's share price, above 527p should next trigger recovery to an initial 533p with our secondary, if beaten, an eventual 550p.
Neither ambition is attractive, instead leaning to an eventual share price being trapped between the 5 and 6 quid levels for a while until a reasonable excuse is given to break free.
