As it’s the time of year, when we’re subjected to extraordinary efforts by Coke to convince the world they invented Christmas. There are certainly some signals the share price of Coca-Cola HBC AG (LSE:CCH), one of its bottling firms listed in London, is limbering up to display a bit of fizz anytime soon, though this may be something to do with a few recent articles lauding Coca Cola for their track record in paying dividends.

And we also cannot ignore the fact the share price has experienced a stonking 35% rise this year against the background of a FTSE 100 which has “only” achieved 17% so far. To avoid inflicting pain, we’re not going to compare the FTSE with other world markets yet as we plan such a depressing initiative for closer to the year end.
The immediate situation for Coke has a vague hint the share price shall behave in a fashion similar to a 2 litre cola bottle, dropped from the boot of a car and rolling down the drive, when unloading a shopping.
Share price movement next above 3,842p has the potential to trigger a leap to an initial 3,917p with our secondary, if bettered, at 3,967p and probable hesitation.
In the event of future closure above 3,967p, things become quite interesting as a future 4,293p should make itself known as a longer-term attraction.
Our alternate scenario, if Coke decides to lose its fizz, expects movement below 3,417p to trigger reversals down to an initial 2,932p with our secondary, if broken, at 2,550p and visually, a level from which a bounce should occur. But overall, our suspicion is for the future to produce share price growth.
