FTSE 100 tests uptrend line, DAX 40 rallies as CAC 40 flat amid shut US markets
FTSE 100 tests uptrend line, DAX 40 rallies as CAC 40 flat amid shut US markets due to Presidents’ Day holiday.
FTSE 100 probes uptrend line
The FTSE 100's slide from last week's 8836 record high has taken it to the January to February uptrend line which is currently being probed. Slightly further down lies the late January high at 8693 which may also offer support during what is likely to turn out to be a quiet day. American market participants will have the day off due to the US Presidents' Day holiday.
Resistance can be spotted at the 6 February 8770 high, above which sits last week's 8836 all-time high.
