Absolutely nothing of our analysis against NatWest Group (LSE:NWG) three weeks ago came to fruition. The share price has exhibited a Gap Up, Gap Down manoeuvre which generally will display pretty vile results.

However, their share price thankfully refused to trouble our final trigger for doom at 567p, instead bouncing around with a drop which was to 567.2p, a tiny amount above our trigger level but regardless, remaining within the zone of sanity.
Instead, by recently achieving 641.4p, it remains pretty solidly within an uptrend which promises tolerable things for the future.
On the negative side, below 607p suggests weakness coming to an initial 593p with our secondary, if broken, down at 572p and a very possible rebound. In fact, there is an immediate argument favouring 593p as a bounce point.
However, we anticipate movement above 630p to prove capable of a lift to an initial 653p and secondary if (when) bettered at 682p, firmly within a big picture scenario which favours a distant ambition at 703p.
