#Gold #FTSE <\/strong>We’ve been getting extremely frustrated at the lack of real movement among FTSE 100 shares. A throwaway comment in the office, “better check the AIM and the FTSE250, because they may get attention while the FTSE is sleeping” proved, hopefully, a worthwhile exercise. Over the years, we’ve noticed this can often be the case and with many FTSE 100 components appearing to be awaiting “something”, the effort shall perhaps be justified.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Surprisingly, it’s the FTSE250<\/b> which currently holds out most hope for positive movements with movement above 19404 points calculating with the potential of a lift to a tame looking 19683 points. At this level, things start to get quite interesting. Market closure above 19683 works out with the potential of a lift to 20640 points, dumping the market into a region where a future 21064 calculates with quite strong 3rd level ambition. It’s difficult to ignore we’re proposing a scenario with an overall 10% lift potential for this market, so it’s perhaps going to be worthwhile keeping an eye on FTSE250 components. This index needs below 18000 points to risk spoiling the potential party in the future.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As for the AIM<\/b> market, things are quite a bit less positive. There are, of course, potentials but unfortunately the index appears to be experiencing difficulty recovering from the thrashing it was given in 2022. It has at least recovered above the level of the Red uptrend break of 740 points, generally a pretty positive signal. Until such time the value actually recovers above Red, spending money on a Party Popper is liable to be misguided. Thankfully, very little work is required and now above 767 points should prove capable of a lift to an initial 787 points with secondary, if bettered, a more encouraging 825 points. This secondary level is a big deal, emplacing the AIM in a region where a long term cycle to 1110 points should prove possible.<\/p>\n

If things intend go wrong for the AIM, below 700 points shall now suggest investing in running shoes!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Finally, the FTSE. So far this year, writing about the UK’s premier index has been about as exciting as writing about the UK’s retail banks.<\/p>\n

Currently, the FTSE is supposed to be heading to an initial 7736 with secondary, if bettered, now at 7849 points. The only little problem has been a tendency for the market to retreat, every single time it looked on the verge of producing something positive. It’s certainly the case above 7690 should still make an effort to achieve these target levels but we’re wondering what other factors are at play, inhibiting any moves which would dare emulate other markets in the world.<\/p>\n

Instead, our inclination is to fear the worst as weakness now below 7606 points suggests reversal to an initial 7569 points with secondary, if broken, at 7541 points. While neither reversal target embraces a huge number of points, the movements would be sufficient to maintain the FTSE in its favourite position, marching on the spot. If triggered, the tightest stop is wide around 7660 points.<\/p>\n

Have a good weekend.<\/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
