London Stock Exchange Group’s share price isn’t reflecting the usual boost from a share buyback initiative, quite the opposite currently.

Embracing the misery usually seen against UK shares suffering a problem, below 9,036p for London Stock Exchange Group (LSE:LSEG) risks triggering reversal to an initial 8,003p with our secondary, if broken, at 8,400p and an attempt to match the low of the year Covid-19 arrived.
Surprisingly, the bounce from the 2020 low quickly exceeded the highs from before the artificial drop was invented, creating a situation where recovery to 11,900p could be calculated as possible.
LSEG achieved this recovery at the start of 2025, even exceeding our 11,900 target for a handful of sessions before falling backwards quite dramatically.

However, who knows? Perhaps LSEG will experience a rapid turnaround in fortunes.
This being the case, maybe movement above just 10,020 (blue) will trigger recovery to an initial 10,774 with our longer-term secondary, if bettered, at 11,205p. This secondary is liable to prove an issue, taking the share price into a zone where a distant 12,695 is seen as presenting a distant attraction.
This would be a miracle, a new all-time high and a sign that the UK is indicating hope for the future.
