#DAX #Nasdaq We wonder if someone, somewhere, has a betting pool open on just when will France match the FTSE, point for point. The indices are drawer ever closer, France closing the 17th November at 7156 points and the FTSE at 7291 points. Obviously, aside from the points value, there is no similarity between the pair. Even market performance since the Covid-19 low last year highlights the dismal movement of the FTSE.
As can be seen, with the FTSE performance overlaid on a chart for the French market, the difference in performance is quite a worry, especially as France commenced from a lower level in 2020. In an exercise (otherwise known as ‘grasping at straws’), we’d liked to suspect European markets were slowing down, while the FTSE made an effort to catch up. It’s certainly becoming difficult to stoke the fires of optimism for the UK. Perhaps Santa shall appear, wearing a Superman cloak, and produce a super-Santa rally. (Clue: not going to happen)
GOLD (PM:XAUUSD) We’ve received a few emails, asking for a further update on Gold, despite it being covered last week. The reason for the flurry is fairly simple; we’d given a trigger level at $1,873 and the metal achieved a high of 1,877 on Tuesday before retreating to close the day at 1,850 dollars. This sort of thing is always a worry, hence our often repeated demand a market actually CLOSE a session above a target level to give a belt and braces signal which confirms movement potentials. Instead, for the present, about the best we can hope is our 1,873 level shall prove valid until such time the market stops circling below the trigger level and once again, breaks the surface.
For now, we can announce CLOSURE above 1873 or intraday traffic above 1,878 should make a visit to an initial 1,900 almost inevitable. Our longer term secondary currently recalculates at $1,939.
From a very immediate perspective, given the stuff is trading at 1,865 at time of writing, above 1,868 is supposed to bring a trip to 1,873. A near term secondary, should this level be exceeded, calculates at 1,880 points and just another nudge higher. This is why being fussy about a closing price level becomes important. There’s certainly a good chance achieving our secondary target shall permit the product to actually close a session above the trigger level. Visually, we’re inclined toward optimism for the price of Gold.
Our thanks to those folk who find adverts on this page worthy of a visit. It keeps us in rocket fuel (coffee)

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.
