There's allegedly reason for optimism, Lloyds Banking Group (LSE:LLOY)'s share price currently needs to trade above 47.3p to trigger price recovery to an initial 51p with secondary, if bettered, at 53.5p. The secondary is quite a big deal, affording the share the potential of closing a session above blue on the chart and finding itself in a zone where a long-term 76p will be viewed as the driving influence.

As always with a retail bank, we are a little bit sceptical. Lloyds' share price currently needs dip below 42.4p to gently tap an alarm bell. This risks promoting reversal to an initial 40p and, hopefully, a rebound. If broken, our secondary calculates down at 35.5p.
