Bodycote could exceed the symbolic threshold of GBp 685 in order to reach new highs.
Regarding the fundamentals, we note some growth perspective for the groupe in the next fiscal years. Moreover, the EPS have been revised upward several times, gives argument to the share to continue its bullish movement.
From a technical viewpoint, prices are well oriented in a bullish trend on different time scales. This positive trend is expected to go toward GBp 685 which the breakout will give the buy signal.
Given these elements, most active investors could take a buying position above the GBp 685 resistance in order to reach the GBP 750, corresponding to the bullish trend line. A stop loss is placed below the GBp 659.5 pivot point, threshold that would invalidate the bullish strategy.
