#France #Nasdaq Unable to recall seeing a 9% UP day on the FTSE, intraday traffic certainly deserved some scrutiny. The big surprise came from the FTSE “closing” number of 5446 points. This was a shock because the FTSE actually closed at 5367 with a 7.5% rise. Everything else came from the mystery moment of the day, called “clearing”. For the average punter, even a 7.5% day gives some considerable hope.
Annoying to say, we hadn’t bothered to give any form of rising scenario in our report yesterday, simply due to the UK index needing above 5890 at present to simply suggest the rate of descent has eased. Everything else risks being smoke and mirrors, due to the UK market already triggering serious longer-term droop potentials. However, we shall suspend disbelief and pretend we’re confident further near term rises shall prove viable.
Should the FTSE now continue above 5460 points, an initial 5616 becomes the initial calculation. If exceeded, our secondary works out at 5799 points. As the chart below highlights, the secondary certainly comes close to interfering with the Blue downtrend in the next few days. As always, there’s a fly in the ointment, due to the market already having tripped some pretty major reversal potentials. Our rule of thumb is basic, when rises occur following a drop trigger, we tend believe in our primary targets but expect a rise to fade before the secondary. Only once secondary targets are exceeded does a strong probability present of “bottom” being in.

We suspect an attempt is being made to stabilise the markets during this current “House Arrest” phase of Covid-19. To be honest, despite rarely interacting with the outside world, the fact I cannot is already causing frustration.
A reverse scenario triggers, should the FTSE wander below 5160 points as reversal to an initial 5095 makes sense. Secondary, if broken, works out at 4977 points.
