#FTSE #GOLD\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/span>\u00a0From our perspective, the FTSE has now managed to get itself into a bit of a mess. Closing the session on Thursday at 7280 points, the index achieved a successful “lower low” but only, if we take a particular stance. Back on 20th March, the index hit 7206 points but closed the session at an amazing 7403 points. This creates a somewhat ambiguous “lower low” argument but experience has taught the closing price invariably proves the most important argument, especially when coupled with a price closing below a trend.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the case of the FTSE charts below, the uptrend (Red) since the Covid-19 low of 2020 has not yet been troubled, so we shouldn’t embrace panic. Currently, the FTSE needs close a session below 7215 to solidly break Red, moving the index into a region where a future bottom around 6623 points shall make painful sense. <\/span><\/p>\n

In summary, we appear to be witnessing a fairly coherent warning shot for future trouble for the index. <\/span><\/p>\n

But, as always, there’s reason for hope.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There’s a pretty strong argument expecting a bounce by the 7200 level, the FTSE already pretty close to a calculated “bottom” within the immediate cycle which works out at 7206 points. This should prove viable, if the UK market weakens below 7267 points.<\/p>\n

Absurdly, the index now needs above 7303 points to suggest any near term bottom may be viable as this should trigger market recovery to an initial 7360 with secondary, if beaten, calculating at an impressive 7494 points. It’s difficult to express any reasoning to suggest such a massive gain shall prove possible in just a single session.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Crucially, it’s the British Grand Prix this weekend from Silverstone. Hopefully it rains as this should make for a reasonable spectacle but ideally, nothing like the monsoon conditions currently affecting us in Argyll. Traditionally, the start of August brings biblical levels of rain but tonight, the roar from our garden waterfall is proving quite distracting.<\/p>\n

Have a good weekend.<\/p>\n

SUCCESS above means both FAST & SLOW targets were met. ‘CESS means just the FAST target met and probably the next time it is exceeded, movement to the SLOW target shall commence.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

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 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
