FTSE FOR FRIDAY #GOLD #BRENT Our fascination with Google Stats remains. The UK, US, and Spain remain at the top of our #FTSE Friday “hits” but just a little further down the listings, visitors from Reunion Island remain comfortably above Singapore and Australia. Quirky but nice!
As for the FTSE’s near term prospects, it closed Thursday at 7114 points, despite describing a new low for the day in the closing minute. The miracle bounce from bottom bothers us a little, now suggesting weakness below 7081 points should trigger some reversals to an initial 7049 points. If broken, secondary is at 7010 points.
Surprisingly, the underlying pressure on the FTSE at present is currently upward with above 7163 points apparently promising travel to an utterly useless near term 7178 points. If exceeded, secondary is a more interesting 7204 points.
It has probably not escaped anyones notice the markets have been all over the place for the most recent three weeks. If our foregoing drop scenario triggers, the tightest stop is painfully with at 7163 points. Equally, if our upward scenario triggers, the tightest stop appears to be 7090 points. This problem occurs, thanks to the market habitually using wide ranges before movements to conceal the reality of not much happening.
From a bigger picture perspective, there are quite a few dangerous signals, all mostly expecting the market to bottom somewhere in the 6,600’s eventually, despite any near term positive actions.
