Lloyds’ share price is still a little concerning as below 40p now suggests imminent weakness down to an initial 36.7p. If broken, our longer-term secondary now works out at 33.25p, hopefully a point at which a proper rebound will occur.

Otherwise, it is still the case that Lloyds Banking Group (LSE:LLOY) requires - from our perspective - to close a session above 43.5p to give real hope. A truly surprise movement such as this should position the share price quite neatly, and capable of recovery to an initial 47p with secondary, if exceeded, working out at a longer-term  51.8p. 

But we fear that Lloyds is destined to explore further depths, probably with an eventual bottom at our 33.25p. It even makes sense visually.
