#FTSE #GOLD Penny, our Golden Retriever, usually amuses herself trying to bury a hedgehog, when she comes across one in the forest. However, she discovered an entirely new game, barking furiously at one of the animals while she kicked it around our lawn. Doubtless, she’d already discovered it was impossible to pick up the spiky little ball and nudging it with her snout probably hurt. Instead, the poor animal was being flicked around the grass as she curled a paw over it, then skilfully propelled it across the lawn behind her. Needless to say, this took place around 2am, the dog resisting quietly yelled threats to stop barking, while she invented her own game of football. Doubtless, she exhibited more skill than than Scottish football team will do at this summers competition. (we’re not sure if it is World Cup or Olympics football which is getting the media excited)<\/span><\/p>\n

The FTSE is getting close to providing a “sure thing” for those who follow\/trade the index. Obviously, there is absolutely no such thing as a “sure thing” on the stock market but movements, while generally pretty lame, in the last few weeks tend imply the FTSE is poised to fly like our garden hedgehog didn’t.<\/span><\/p>\n

From a bigger picture perspective, the threat is for movement above 10522 points triggering a rise to an initial 10582 with our secondary, if bettered, an impressive 10728 points. As a result, we need examine intraday movements over the last week or so, trying to identify any reason for the market to exceed 10522. This proves a harder job than we suspected. With the index currently trading around 10440 points, it actually needs above 10492 points before we even dare raise an eyebrow, let along hopes for strong FTSE movement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead, it feels like weakness remains possible for the UK main market as below 10377 points risks promoting reversal down to an initial 10301 points. with our secondary, if broken, calculating at 10219 points.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our suspicion, as it’s a month end, is to expect reversal to 10301 points, then a surprise bounce with June starting with some optimism, hopefully capable of triggering some of our bigger picture thoughts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Have a good weekend. There isn’t a proper Grand Prix for a few weeks as next weeks effort from Monaco remains a boring proposition. Perhaps we shall see drivers playing Suduko on their phones, while they adhere to whatever procession has been ordained for the “race”. But the qualifying session is always worth watching!<\/span><\/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
