HSBC Holdings (LSE:HSBA)' share price is driving us a little nuts.
A couple of positives, the share is now trading firmly above the price level before the Covid-19 reversals of 2020. Despite the banking share experiencing movements last April which were strangely reminiscent of that awful year, share price movements recently seem to be quietly implying we should anticipate some further gains in 2025.

It is certainly the case that HSBC's share price needs to close a session below 709p to bring panic, the visuals imparting a surprising degree of confidence.
Now above 890p should prove quite significant, hopefully triggering share price movements to an initial 1,064p. If exceeded, our secondary calculates at a future 1,095p.
The close proximity of these target levels brings a subliminal suggestion we should anticipate some hesitation before there’s any risk of the share price soaring gleefully into the land of higher highs.
