For commercial reasons, we&#8217;re forced to be vague but there&#8217;s another reality in play. Very rarely do we apply just one set of formula to a potential movement. Instead, we&#8217;ll look at near term potentials based on market movements during the most recent month. Then we&#8217;ll zoom out and look at what&#8217;s been happening during the period since the last cataclysm (think Covid-19 hitting), and finally take a glance at really big picture potentials, sometimes since the beginning of time. As part of this exercise, we question if a price is trading higher (or lower) than any previous highs, along with looking for visual cues on a chart.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, beside boring the reader, there&#8217;s another factor which requires satisfied. We&#8217;ve got to question whether recent minute by minute movements are tending to reach targets or fizzle out, before target levels are achieved. This is an attempt to ascertain whether a market is showing any particular strength, in any particular direction.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, the result of all this focus on numbers is a need to just walk away and admit we don&#8217;t have a blooming clue! Other times, such as with the FTSE at present, we start to find hints of direction and will bias our thinking accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>In this report, the bias is toward potential gains on the UK market, at least until 6730 makes a guest appearance. At such a level, we believe the FTSE may pause for breath, especially as our next major point of interest is around 600 points higher.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For the immediate future, our inclination is to &#8220;play it safe&#8221; with the FTSE, demanding the index next trade above 6505 points to enter a cycle toward an initial 6543 points. If exceeded, our secondary calculates at 6560 points. In fact, the index could easily find itself accelerating toward 6611 points.<\/p>\n<p>If triggered, the tightest stop loss level looks like a reasonable 6450 points. It&#8217;s fingers crossed time, especially as the market now needs below 6383 to suggest our optimism is misplaced.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/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\/ukx031220.jpg\" alt=\"Hey, chart goes here\" width=\"595\" height=\"385\" border=\"0\" \/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.trendsandtargets.com\/offer_subscribe.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.trendsandtargets.com\/images\/specialoffer.gif\" border=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/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>10:27:20PM<\/td>\n<td>BRENT<\/td>\n<td>48.79<\/td>\n<td>47.64<\/td>\n<td>47.265<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>48.45<\/td>\n<td>48.84<\/td>\n<td>48.96<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>48.14<\/td>\n<td>Sorry<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>10:28:46PM<\/td>\n<td>GOLD<\/td>\n<td>1841.32<\/td>\n<td>1823<\/td>\n<td>1815.5<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>1838<\/td>\n<td>1844<\/td>\n<td>1847<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>1834<\/td>\n<td>&#8216;cess<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>10:31:25PM<\/td>\n<td>FTSE<\/td>\n<td>6489.77<\/td>\n<td>6421<\/td>\n<td>6394<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>6479<\/td>\n<td>6512<\/td>\n<td>6546<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>6450<\/td>\n<td>&#8216;cess<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>10:32:57PM<\/td>\n<td>FRANCE<\/td>\n<td>5549.9<\/td>\n<td>5542<\/td>\n<td>5529.5<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>5577<\/td>\n<td>5586<\/td>\n<td>5601.5<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>5553<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>10:36:19PM<\/td>\n<td>GERMANY<\/td>\n<td>13213.87<\/td>\n<td>13198<\/td>\n<td>13171<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>13232<\/td>\n<td>13276<\/td>\n<td>13318<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>13230<\/td>\n<td>Success<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>10:37:51PM<\/td>\n<td>US500<\/td>\n<td>3668<\/td>\n<td>3655<\/td>\n<td>3644.5<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>3675<\/td>\n<td>3682<\/td>\n<td>3691.5<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>3664<\/td>\n<td>&#8216;cess<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>10:40:35PM<\/td>\n<td>DOW<\/td>\n<td>29958<\/td>\n<td>29769<\/td>\n<td>29700.5<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>29915<\/td>\n<td>30073<\/td>\n<td>30129.5<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>29951<\/td>\n<td>Success<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>10:42:03PM<\/td>\n<td>NASDAQ<\/td>\n<td>12484<\/td>\n<td>12440<\/td>\n<td>12411<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>12492<\/td>\n<td>12540<\/td>\n<td>12563<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>12464<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>10:43:53PM<\/td>\n<td>JAPAN<\/td>\n<td>26733<\/td>\n<td>26672<\/td>\n<td>26620.5<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>26767<\/td>\n<td>26840<\/td>\n<td>26894<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>26759<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>3\/12\/2020 FTSE Closed at 6490 points.
