OSB Group (LSE:OSB)are a bit of a puzzle. We reviewed the FTSE 250 specialist mortgage lender a couple of months ago and were pleased they achieved our initial target, then had a go at our secondary target of 575p.
However, the price rise faded - quite nastily - at 571p, the share being gapped down by 69p the very next day.

To get the nasty part out of the way, the share price needs to travel below 480p to trigger reversal to an initial 467p with our secondary, if broken, a very possible bottom at 423p.
However, it appears that movement next above 542p should trigger a lift to an initial 612p with our longer-term secondary, if exceeded, working out at a future 656p.
