FTSE for Friday (FTSE:UKX) looking positive

#FreeFTSE #GOLD

It has been a pretty foul week for the market, insofar as very little has really been happening. Locally, it’s proving more fun watching the Scottish political scene, the fallout over Sturgeons departure causing utter panic amongst her appalling cult of followers. It’s not quite a circular firing squad, instead more akin to a bunch of folk wearing clown costumes trying to shift their collective blame onto anyone else, even voters now being accused of being “out of touch”. The shambles almost makes the days of Boris in Downing St seem quite professional.

And of course, when you add the spice of £600,000 going missing from Sturgeons party piggy bank, a police investigation into the missing money, now with apparent links into the attempt to frame Mr Salmond, the resignation of a Chief Constable, it all appears destined to fizzle out as some of the theories dominating social media are a bit outlandish, though utterly delicious. Scotland can be a funny old place with doubtless a few ‘super-injunctions’ now being drafted in a bit of a panic.

 

However, as far as the stock market goes, all we’ve got is a little FTSE chart to promote any attempt at humour.

Currently, above 7938 should apparently make an attempt at 7985 points with our secondary, if bettered, working out at a visually unlikely 8083 points, along with a new all time high. If triggered, the tightest stop loss level looks like a reasonable 7910 points.

Our alternate scenario, if the world intends fall apart, suggests weakness below 7886 should threaten imminent reversal to an initial 7851 points with our secondary, if this initial target breaks, working out at 7796 points. If triggered, the tightest sane stop looks like 7936 points, certainly sufficiently wide to justify the depth of movement.

 

Perhaps more importantly, questions are being asked in Scotland where are all the clowns cars? It’s almost been forgotten that they’re making their way to Bahrain for the Grand Prix in a weeks time, the inaugural race of 2023. Hopefully this years winner shall not be tainted by a third year of scandal.

Have a good weekend.

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.
