- Summary:
- Barclays Share Price Forecast: Our LON: BARC analysis reveals that the price may retest its 142p support very soon.
Barclays (LON: BARC) share price has started this week with a strong bounce. The bounce comes after the price dropped to fresh monthly lows. Our analysis reveals that the ongoing bounce may turn out to be a dead cat bounce as the shares have formed a lower low on the daily timeframe.
On Monday, shares of major British banks showed a very positive price action as the FTSE 100 index gained 91 points. Barclays shares rose by 3.37% during the first few hours of trading. HSBC, NatWest Group, and Lloyds shares were also up on the first trading session of the week.
Barclays Bank Teams Up With TransferMate
As per the most recent Barclays news, the bank has partnered with the global payments infrastructure provider, TransferMate. The partnership will enable Barclays clients to receive payments in 60+ currencies into their GBP accounts. The feature may turn out to be very handy for small to medium-scale businesses.
The evolving banking crisis in the US has also affected the Barclays share price. In less than two months, three major US banks have succumbed to the declining deposits. This has triggered a wave of fear among the depositors of British banks as well. However, any British bank is yet to see a fate similar to the collapsed US banks.
