#FTSE #GOLD Despite us covering the FTSE, a more inspired title would be “Grand-daughters Revenge!”. Lucky enough to have a massive bath, our 8 & 10 y/old’s traditionally indulge with a huge bubble bath, the evening before returning to their cage in the zoo. Pouring such a deep bath takes some skill but this time around, the girls announced they were old enough to deal with it all by themselves. We shrugged and left them to it.
After 20 minutes or so, a child appeared to complain the water wasn’t getting deep and the bath wasn’t ready. After patiently explaining the need for a PLUG in the science of pouring a bath, neither girl was happy at being told it would be another hour before they could try again. Typically, this massive bath effectively requires 2 hot water tanks to fill and the children had just poured all the hot water down the plug-hole. Of course, in the ensuing blame game, it was all somehow my fault and worse, the bath is now also a mess of ‘bath bomb’ glitter clumps which refuse to wash away.
Festive grump aside, the FTSE looks capable of finishing the year in fairly useful territory as we head into the final full session. Already at a high, following the 2020 Covid plunge, the index need only exceed 7459 to suggest coming movement to 7484 points. If exceeded, our secondary calculates at an amazing (and less likely) level of 7558 points. Such an ambition matches, almost exactly, the pre-Covid-19 high of 7547 points in February 2020, and would provide a real cliff-hanger upon which to finish the year.
If things intend go wrong, the earliest indication feels like movement below 7385. Such a trigger risks promoting reversal to an initial 7332 with secondary, if broken, at 7291 points. However, as the inset on the chart highlights, the UK index has finally managed to close a session above Blue, a downtrend which dates back to the high of last year. This, we hope, shall prove significant and capable of kickstarting 2022.
Many thanks to the nice folk who keep us in coffee, just by finding fascinating adverts to visit on this page.
Our best wishes for 2022

SUCCESS above means both FAST & SLOW targets were met. ‘CESS means just the FAST target met and probably the next time it is exceeded, movement to the SLOW target shall commence.
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.
