#FTSE #Gold<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>We’re approaching an awkward situation with stock markets, some index’ getting to the point where future predictions are becoming difficult without giving a little giggle. Germany and the DAX has already passed such levels, arriving at the point where we find it difficult to predict anything for the immediate future without resorting to a degree of guesswork. The FTSE itself is an immediate case in point as it’s extremely unlikely the market shall wake up one morning and find an excuse to jump by 1500 points, an unlikely proposition unless Mrs Thatcher somehow finds a way to reappear and takeover running the country!<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, such a suggestion appears unlikely unless she somehow makes a deal with whoever controls the gates of hell. Instead, invariably when numbers run out of steam, we find ourselves in a position where the markets start “gapping” the market up at the open until a suitable reason is discovered to invent some real volatility. Who knows, with the media now broadly taking the line President Trumps innitiative over Ukraine\/Russia is a bad thing, perhaps news of an end to a war shall be regarded as a bad thing, given oil prices should come down, arms prices should reduce, and food costs reverse properly. Obviously such a scenario would be a bad thing for the markets but hopefully only for the near term.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As it’s Valentines Day, we’d hoped to find some positive signals which would be easy to repeat but,. in reality, things are not great. It feels like “running out of steam” is the best way of describing European index positions…<\/p>\n

For the present. above 8821 calculates with the potential of a rise to an initial\u00a0 8867 points with our secondary, if beaten, coming along at an astounding 9039 points, allowing the media to foam at the mouth acclaiming the UK market finally hitting the 9000 level. Thus, the invented terror of the 9000 level could be used to provoke reversals but, from our perspective, fuelling the potential for additional near term gains.<\/p>\n

At present, we are supposed to admit the FTSE calculates with a third level target of 10733 points.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Should things intend go wrong, below 8729 calculates with the potential of reversals to an initial 8679 points with our secondary, if broken, at 8629 points.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Have a good weekend, hopefully one with some civilised snows.<\/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
