British Airways owner International Consolidated Airlines Group SA (LSE:IAG) is actually looking like it faces some positive price movements, despite the company failing to announce a reduction in their stable of 4,000 expensive pilots.

Currently, by closing Wednesday at 400p, IAG achieved an official “higher high”, therefore allowing a positive viewpoint for the fairly near future.
At present, above 405p should trigger movement to an initial 427p with our secondary, if bettered, calculating at an eventual 502p and some hesitation.
Should things intend to go wrong for IAG, below 385p risks triggering reversal down to an initial 330p and a very possible bounce. Our secondary, if broken, works out at an unlikely 284p.
