Today, the thing which brought the biggest smile was a Prince Charles Joke despite the FTSE achieving another strong up day (and meeting our initial target level).<\/p>\n<p>Prince Charles is in self-isolation at Balmoral with Covid-19. Prince Andrew is in self-isolation at Royal Lodge, Windsor, with Britney-16&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We expressed curiosity over Tuesdays mystery movement on the FTSE, 80 points tacked onto the days trading once the market closed for the day. This followed through and Wednesday morning presented a &#8220;gap up&#8221; on the market. However, despite achieving a successful 156 point rise to our initial target level of 5616, our secondary at 5799 proved elusive, the day reaching 5741 before fading.<\/p>\n<p>This was pretty firmly in line with our warning; &#8216; <em>expect a rise to fade before the secondary.<\/em>&#8216; and confirms the risk of the overall market remaining in a downtrend.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For today, Thursday, we&#8217;re supposed to believe further rises are ahead, none of which we shall risk treating as real unless the market makes it above 5713 points. Such a scenario currently points at the potential of growth to an initial 5800 points with secondary, if better, at a downtrend testing 5800 points. Quite why the index calculates with 100 point movements utterly defeats us.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, it feels more likely some reversal is coming, if only due to the index fading before our 5799 calculation. This results in a game, where the index needs below 5400 to justify a raised eyebrow, along with reversal to 5251 points. Below this and we&#8217;re looking at 5053 points. Visually, this will undo the benefit of the last two sessions.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s perhaps worth remembering the US Weekly jobs figures are published on Thursday. With many businesses closed for the duration, a spike is jobless is expected, one which will doubtless be used to goose the markets.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.trendsandtargets.com\/img\/ukx260320.jpg\" alt=\"Hey, chart goes here\" width=\"610\" height=\"383\" border=\"0\" \/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>FUTURES<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Time Issued<\/td>\n<td>Market<\/td>\n<td>Price At Issue<\/td>\n<td>Short Entry<\/td>\n<td>Fast Exit<\/td>\n<td>Slow Exit<\/td>\n<td>Stop<\/td>\n<td>Long Entry<\/td>\n<td>Fast Exit<\/td>\n<td>Slow Exit<\/td>\n<td>Stop<\/td>\n<td>Prior<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>9:53:46PM<\/td>\n<td>BRENT<\/td>\n<td>29.5<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>&#8216;cess<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>10:15:23PM<\/td>\n<td>GOLD<\/td>\n<td>1619.17<\/td>\n<td>1595<\/td>\n<td>1590<\/td>\n<td>1578<\/td>\n<td>1616<\/td>\n<td>1626<\/td>\n<td>1632<\/td>\n<td>1658<\/td>\n<td>1595<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>10:23:33PM<\/td>\n<td>FTSE<\/td>\n<td>5647<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Success<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>10:39:20PM<\/td>\n<td>FRANCE<\/td>\n<td>4416.5<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Success<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>10:50:19PM<\/td>\n<td>GERMANY<\/td>\n<td>9844.19<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>&#8216;cess<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>10:52:21PM<\/td>\n<td>US500<\/td>\n<td>2487<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>&#8216;cess<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>10:56:31PM<\/td>\n<td>DOW<\/td>\n<td>21267<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Success<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>10:58:29PM<\/td>\n<td>NASDAQ<\/td>\n<td>7504.25<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Exact !!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>11:01:36PM<\/td>\n<td>JAPAN<\/td>\n<td>19123<\/td>\n<td>18429<\/td>\n<td>18030.5<\/td>\n<td>17522<\/td>\n<td>19004<\/td>\n<td>19556<\/td>\n<td>19690<\/td>\n<td>20496<\/td>\n<td>18429<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h5>25\/03\/2020 FTSE Closed at 5688 points.
