Barclays and other world banks are currently battling a probe regarding their manipulation in the forex markets. Unlike other banks, Barclays has refused to settle and wishes to battle it out. This could have long term negative implications for Barclays. The loss of a license would be a painful disaster.
Technical: Barclays has been stuck in a long established downward channel for over a year now. The stochastic indicator has been behaving in a very sinusoidal manner and the recent sell signal in the stochastic indicator suggests we are headed back to the resistance line. Wait for a cross in the 10 Day EMA and the 21 Day EMA for a more reliable confirmation. My low price target is $13.10. My highest price target is $14.86-$15.26.
I know my note where it says "view my note got cut off". Essentially what I was saying in that note is to pay attention to trends in the stochastic indicator, and the regions where the signal crosses happen, especially once an EMA cross happens. As well keep in mind that the signal crosses in stochastic are short term trend changes, but may not affect the longer term established trend.
