If our reading of the tea leaves proves correct, the immediate situation suspects share price movement above 405p should now trigger gains to an initial 424p with our secondary, if exceeded, calculating at an impressive future 495p. This would place the share price in a zone where a future 602p shall make quite a lot of distant sense.
In the event things intend to go wrong, below 350p could be traumatic, allowing reversal to an initial 319p with our secondary, if broken, at 270p. This negative scenario feels unlikely, so perhaps President Trump shall get his own way.
