Our previous glance at Lloyds Banking Group (LSE:LLOY) proved quite prescient. We had allocated a bottom at 53p and on the day, the share price closed the session at 53.08p and bounced.

There are obviously risks of further drops and it’s impossible to define a perfect trajectory. Now below 53p risks triggering reversal to an initial 48p with our secondary, if broken, down at an eventual bottom of 43p.

We should point out that visually, we do not anticipate such a catastrophe. 

If things intend to go right for Lloyds, we are inclined to regard share price closure above 57.2p as important, moving the share price into a cycle where an initial 60.5p looks likely with our secondary, if beaten, at 66p.

This secondary remains a big deal from a Big Picture perspective, such a movement taking the share price into a zone where a longer-term cycle to 92p becomes possible.
