From a monthly point of view, the share consolidates within a consolidation channel drawn since 2017. The RSI's behaviour, by breaking up above a declining trend line drawn from 2017, has given us an advanced signal. Above 94.9, look for the upper end of the consolidation channel set today around 270p. As soon as the upper boundary of the channel will be reached and bypassed, prices will look for 377p. Alternatively, a break below the pattern would set targets toward the previous all-time low at 12.5p.
