FTSE 100 bounces back while DAX 40, S&P 500 trade close to record highs
FTSE 100 bounces back while DAX 40, S&P 500 trade close to their record highs as upside momentum is slowing.
FTSE 100 rises again
The FTSE 100 is heading back up towards its six-week high at 8389 and should keep it in its sights as long as Friday’s low at 8290 underpins on a daily chart closing basis.
Above the current December peak at 8389 lie the 8397 October high as well as the early and late August highs at 8404 to 8419. If overcome, the 8500 mark would be eyed.
Minor support remains to be seen between the late October and late November highs at 8326 to 8319. While last week’s low at 8290 underpins, the short-term uptrend remains intact.
