#FTSE FOR FRIDAY #DAX #NK225 We’ve probably given the impression during August of really hating the month. It’s actually far worse than that with, it seems, folk stopping trading, taking holidays, causing traffic jams on the farm tracks which pretend to be roads here in our bit of #Argyll.
Of course, come September, the weather will take any excuse to provide the first snows of winter as a painful memory of getting stuck in a 4WD while heading to Applecross springs to mind. Or returning from the fabulous Mull Car Rally on motorcycles while wearing fair weather bike clothing in minus 5c temperatures. However, the country does have three taps in most kitchens, Hot, Cold, Whisky, which is a consolation…
It feels like the last day of this dreadful month intends a final turn of the screw as below 7482 enters a further relaxation phase with an initial drop target at 7425 points. Worse, if broken, our secondary lurks at 7360 points. What was a little strange was market behaviour during Thursday with the index dropping sharply at the open and simply doing nothing else for the rest of the session. It almost felt as if the market didn’t actually want to drop – just yet.
We shall not be inclined to view any near term rise positively unless the index betters 7540 points, not a hard ask as it closed the session at 7514 points.
Above 7540 looks capable of a fairly useless recovery to 7553 points. If exceeded, our secondary calculates as 7582 points. Given the foregoing, we’re pretty far from convinced any upward travel will stick with the FTSE needing above BLUE at 7625 to make us abandon thoughts of 7360 on the current movement cycle.

Our commentary is in two sections. Immediately below are today’s updated comments. If our commentary remains valid, the share can be found in the bottom section which has a RED heading. Hopefully, this will mean you no longer need to flip back through previous reports. HYPERLINKS DISABLED IN THIS VERSION
Please remember, all prices are mid-price (halfway between the Buy and Sell). When we refer to a price CLOSING above a specific level, we are viewing the point where we can regard a trend as changing. Otherwise, we are simply speculating on near term trading targets. Our website is www.trendsandtargets.com.
UPDATE. We often give an initial and a secondary price. If the initial is exceeded, we still expect it to fall back but the next time the initial is bettered, the price should continue to the secondary. The converse it true with price drops.
