When we previously reviewedNatWest Group (LSE:NWG), we cheerfully provided a reason for some optimism, giving share price closure above 315p as providing almost certain hope.
In the intervening period, the share has achieved this ambition on three occasions, utterly failing to do anything useful thereafter. Worse, it has created a fairly nasty near-term scenario where weakness below 300p risks promoting reversal to an initial 285p with our secondary, if broken, at 278p and hopefully a bounce.

It is probably folly to pretend any optimism until after the general election on 4th July.
But we can point out movement above 320p now calculates with the potential of a lift to 338p next with our secondary, if exceeded, working out at 335p and almost certain hesitation.
For now, we’re not particularly confident of this.
