They've more then doubled in just over a year, but independent analyst Alistair Strang's charts say the high street bank's share price is capable of further strength.

Searching for optimism against NatWest Group (LSE:NWG) has become a little less difficult recently, the share price finally managing to close above our 397p trigger level, which implies everyone can be positive about future share price movements. Usual caveats apply that you should never trust a retail bank's share price.

However, it certainly appears NatWest may actually find its way into the future. Currently, above 405p should trigger share price gains to an entirely believable 450p, a nice and tidy 10%+ gain which should challenge the highs from 2014.
As a result, the visuals indicate a potential for some hesitation, but above 450p, we can calculate an eventual 542p as very possible some time in the future.Â
Should NatWest decide to immolate itself on the chart of dreams, their share price currently needs below 357p to introduce real panic. Such a triggering event calculates as capable of pushing reversal to an initial 305p with out secondary, if broken, a very probable bottom at 240p.
For now, we think gains on NatWest may be more probable.
