Reflection of technical analysis in someone's glasses

Weir Group's share price is becoming interesting. Currently, above 2,270p calculates as potentially triggering share price gains to an initial 2,496p with our secondary, if bettered, an impressive long-term 3,016 and a new all-time high, certainly something which makes a lot of visual sense as the share price has been bubbling upwards since September this year.

As a result, we will not be surprised if the share price moves upwards, once market trading conditions allow.

For the present, the price would need below 2,170 to trigger latent reversals to an initial 2,014 and hopefully a bounce.

Our secondary, should such a level break, works out at 1,868p and a very possible rebound, along with an urgent need for us to revisit the share price.

For now, we think Weir should prove worth watching.
