FTSE 100 held in narrow range
The FTSE 100 has been stuck in a narrow range between 7300 and 7400, with no sign of a solid break in either direction.
A more bullish view plays out with a move above 7400. Below 7300, 7200 comes into play and results in a more bearish view emerging.

DAX drifts lower
Despite some weakening of upward momentum, the DAX has avoid any serious declines below 12,300.
However, a move above 12,500 is needed to revive the uptrend from the August lows. A deeper retracement heads towards 12,100.

S&P 500 edges higher
Since Monday’s gap lower, the S&P 500 has steadily pushed higher, recovering from modest sell-offs.
However, a push above 3015 is needed to restart the broader move higher.
