​​​FTSE 100 bounces off uptrend line

​The FTSE 100 is seen bouncing off its January to February uptrend line and is flirting with the 10 to 11 February highs at 8788 to 8792. Further up sits last week's 8836 all-time high.

The January to February uptrend line at 8728 offers support ahead of last week's 8702 low. If slipped through, the late January high at 8693 would be back in focus.
