Apparently, the FTSE faces a 300 point rise should the UK market ever \nstumble above such a point. It&#8217;s also worth pointing out the FTSE has \nexperienced an 800 point rise so far this year, a 12.25 gain which is quite at \nodds with all the predictions of doom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the market makes it above 7442, we anticipate a \nfurther 300 point gain for the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Near term it&#8217;s a different story as there&#8217;s a risk of \nweakness establishing. Below 7367 looks capable of reversal to an initial 7340. \nIf broken, our secondary calculates down at 7313 points. Neither reversal \nambition presents a real worry as the RED uptrend is presently at 7143 points. \nBut to be honest, we&#8217;d have raised eyebrows should anything permit 7313 to break \nas it will tend suggest weakness becoming established.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Surprisingly, if we ignore the BLUE trend line \n(presently 7442), the immediate calculation suggests above 7420 should generate \nlift to 7458 near term. If bettered, secondary is a rather more useful 7563. We \nhave our doubts, especially as the market appears to be giving the BLUE \ndowntrend a body swerve at present, signalling we&#8217;re not the only folk with \ncoloured crayons!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We remain suspicious the index will continue oscillate \nbetween RED and BLUE until such time someone raised a white flag and surrenders \nover the Brexit issue, finally allowing direction to make itself known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.trendsandtargets.com\/img\/ukx040419.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.trendsandtargets.com\/img\/Noname.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>#Dax #SP500 We remain confused at the debate as to whether the UK should exit the Eurovision Song Contest.
