Harworth Group (LSE:HWG)'s share price recently did something mildly interesting, perhaps carrying the suggestion of some positive share price movement in the fairly near future.

Trading around 134.5p currently, the share needs to exceed just 136.5p to hopefully trigger movement to an initial 144p with our secondary, if exceeded, at a longer term 160p.

To be fair, we can provide a third level ambition for a distant 177p but it’s difficult to work up any enthusiasm for such a target.

Should everything intend to go horribly wrong, the share price needs below 103p to give the first inkling of serious trouble. Movement such as this risks triggering reversal down to an initial 83p with our secondary, if broken, a less likely longer term 58p.
