FTSE for FRIDAY #CAC40 #DOW
We remain humbled at the volume of folk who read our Friday missive, visiting from all around the world. For the first time ever, we get to say “hi” to folk in Zimbabwe, making a surprise visit last week. Googles Analytics service remains addictive, giving the excuse for a wasted 30 minutes.
As for the FTSE for Friday, we lack confidence for the day. In theory, above 7232 should now promote a visit to 7245 points initially. Secondary, if bettered on the first upward surge, calculates at a more useful 7274 points. If triggered, the tightest stop is at 7198 points.
What happens if 7198 breaks?
We’d expect weakness down to an initial 7180 points. If broken, secondary is at 7147 points. If triggered, the tightest stop looks like 7230 points.
The water is further muddied by the fact Friday is the last day of a month. For some reason, this often sees logic abandoned, faster than a politicians stance on Brexit. Our feeling earlier in the week for to expect the FTSE to eventually reverse and hit a “bottom” at 7106 points. Perhaps some indicators are due to be released which shall justify a really grotty end to the month.
Additionally, it is worth pointing out the FTSE has now slithered below the uptrend for 2019, this tending suggest long positions risk trouble unless the index betters 7137 points, regaining the trend.
We’re braced for the worst.
