We rather like taking an &#8220;if it were a share&#8221; stance, when backed into the current corner as often this will prove the correct approach and get to the bottom of the problem.<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Here goes then;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;If it were a share&#8221;, we&#8217;d feel comfortable it&#8217;s heading to 7400 next, perhaps even 7750 points! Quite a simple statement, one which cuts to the heart of the matter. Unfortunately, there&#8217;s an important thing we&#8217;ve failed to mention. &#8220;If it were a share, it&#8217;ll probably go down a bit before it goes up&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The immediate situation points at traffic now below 7040 allowing the UK to weaken to 6967 points. In itself, this is a fairly reasonable drop and one which matches the uptrend (RED) since the start of this year. As a result, if 6967 makes a guest appearance anytime soon, the visuals indicate the market should rebound from such a level. Greater concern is our secondary calculation, should 6967 break as a future slump to 6870 looks extremely viable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Near term, we&#8217;d pay attention should the FTSE weaken below 7040 as travel down to 6967 risks being rather swift. If triggered, the tightest stop position looks like 7120 points.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What happens if 7120 exceeded? Initially we&#8217;re looking for traffic upward to an initial 7180 points. And if exceeded, a further 115 points appears to be on offer, taking the index to 7295 points and beyond.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For now, we suspect the FTSE shall exhibit some continued reversal down to the 6967 level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Have a good weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080; font-family: Arial; font-size:
