International Workplace Group (LSE:IWG)'s share price certainly has the potential for some real trouble, considerably worse than the market reaction to their financial results.

We previously reviewed this share in March and the price triggered and successfully achieved our primary and secondary targets. It even exceeded our secondary level, repeatedly closing above the 220p point and looking pretty well set for a future we hadn’t yet mapped.
But with this latest set of financial figures, things have become a little skewed as the price now needs to exceed 220p to hopefully trigger recovery to an initial 230p with our secondary, if bettered, a longer-term 252p and a zone where a Big Picture 283p is exerting a gravitic influence. Visually, it even makes some sense.
However, the immediate situation is a little dodgy as the share price – from our perspective – cannot afford to close below 188p. This would be a bad thing, allowing future traffic downward to an initial 176p with our secondary of 156p, keeping the share price trapped in a zone from which it shall be difficult to escape.
Our suspicion is this is about to head upward, once some dramatics are concluded.
