Still above its Ukraine war low, but well short of its 2022 high, Lloyds Bank's share price is proving frustrating. Independent analyst reviews his forecasts for the high street lender.
Lloyds Banking Group's (LSE:LLOY) share price has spent the last three weeks cowering in terror, something that requires a brief update.
There has been a pretty obvious downtrend since the middle of January, one which gives hope movement bettering the trend should provoke recovery to an initial 50.5p with secondary, if bettered, at a confident looking 56p.

Unfortunately, there has also been a well defined Red uptrend since March, one which was broken last week.
This results in a scenario where weakness now below 45.25p risks promoting reversal to an initial 43p with secondary, if broken, at 40.6p and hopefully a bounce.
