#FTSE #GOLD There’s a Blue line on the FTSE chart, one we believed important but now we’re wondering whether it is the object of a cosmic joke by the marketplace. After all our work last Friday, the index opened the session bang on the line at 7628 points, zoomed up to 7688 points (three points short of our target) and on Monday of this week, paraded lower like dancers at a Boris Johnston secret lockdown party. How we laughed…
It’s all very confusing, leaving an unpleasant notion the markets don’t actually have a clue what to do, a feeling slightly reinforced by the BoE’s latest attempts to damage the UK economy and make the recession they’d warned about last year become a reality, one actually caused by the Banks own policies. Quite why this should be the case is incomprehensible, other than a suspicion the UK is trying to prove it cannot manage for itself, ensuring any future vote on Europe opts to rejoin! We don’t claim to be economists but ongoing attempts to fight inflation by making everything more expensive surely defies logic.
Then again, maybe you can put out a fire by pouring petrol on it and we’ve always been taught incorrectly, the grown ups of the Bank of England Policy Committee knowing better.
As for Friday, it has been a rough week and perhaps the FTSE is due a break. In the event the FTSE manages above 7522 points, it should apparently trigger some recovery to an initial 7545 points with our secondary, if exceeded, at 7581 points. At this level, things do have the potential to become rather fascinating as above 7581 should enjoy the potential of spiking the index upward by nearly another 100 points to 7674 points. If this scenario triggers, the tightest stop loss level looks like 7467 points.
Our alternate scenario, if everything intends go wrong, suggests weakness below 7467 points risks triggering reversal down to an initial 7406 points with secondary, if broken, at 7356 points. To judge by market futures at this point early on Friday morning, it appears some hope is permitted for the FTSE near term.
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.
