Something important seems to be happening with Just Group (LSE:JUST)’s share price which should be worth some consideration.

Currently trading around 101p, the share price need only exceed 105p to perhaps trigger price recovery to an initial 121p with our secondary, if beaten, at a longer term 137p.

We can even postulate a distant looking 181p as possible but, to be honest, we’d not advocate taking such a number seriously until such time the share price actually closes above 137p.

If things intend to go wrong for Just Group, the share price needs to retreat below 84p to spark trouble, calculating with the potential of reversal down to an initial 67p with our secondary, if broken, at 54p and hopefully a bouncy bottom.

For now, optimism appears the name of the game for this share price.
