Market financial volumes hit Xmas week levels with the number of shares pretending to do anything at an absolute minimum. Why does the UK not have a couple of public holidays, dedicated to making folk feel good about themselves and their country? Perhaps this is the cunning plan for Brexit, to create a new Independence Day holiday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.trendsandtargets.com\/img\/jul4.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We keep whinging about the media &amp; politicians, many of \nwhich indulge in a sport of talking the future down. Unsurprisingly, these \nappear the same folks who warned of calamity if Mr Trump became US president, \nremaining gleefully highlighting anything wrong, regardless of what actually \nhappens. Yet in the period since the US elected their disaster, the country \nappears better than ever with US markets achieving all time highs. It&#8217;s easy to \nspeculate such a dreadful fate awaits the UK, once everything is shaken up by \nBrexit and a new clown is successfully appointed Prime Minister. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All joking aside, someone recently suggested many UK \npoliticians (and European ones too) are utterly dreadful, because they don&#8217;t \nreally need do a job, due to the EU indulging in heavy lifting for legislative \npurposes. This has created a tranche of &#8216;Z List&#8217; politicians across member \nstates, many of whom should only aspire to be local councillors at best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The comment certainly gave some pause for thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the more common questions being asked relates to \nspotting early signs of proper market reversal. At present, the FTSE requires \nbreak RED on the chart, presently at 7170 points, to justify concern as this \nlooks capable of driving the index back to the 6939 level. In itself, not the \nmost tragic state of affairs but should 6939 break, the index risks easily \ntrashing itself down to 6520 and a new low. This would prove a very bad thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>On the FTSE for FRIDAY<\/strong>, we doubt this state of \naffairs risks arising anytime soon as above 7622 now looks capable of a near \nterm 7638 points. While pretty useless, secondary at 7676 is certainly more \nappealing for the days ahead. Or perhaps tomorrow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The alternate, near term, if of weakness below 7595 \ndriving the index back to 7580 initially. If broken, secondary calculates at \n7553, along with the risk of further reversals in the week ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Worse still, if we examine the dire state of the US \nmarket under President Trumps domain and extrapolate a similar terrible state of \naffairs forward, it&#8217;s remarkably easy to calculate the UK FTSE as already on \ncourse for a long term 8554 points. It needs below the aforementioned RED line \nto cancel this prospect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a good weekend. At time of writing, it&#8217;s 9 days \nand 14 hours until the British Grand Prix, along with epic traffic jams around \nthe venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\"
