FTSE 100 on the edge of a drop
Over the past week, the FTSE 100 has edged lower, moving back to key support at 7260. Now, this level looks to be under threat, with a firm push below it opening the way to 7220 and 7130.
Bulls will need to hold 7260 and then turn higher to retake 7300. We may be on the cusp of a bigger drop, but with the price intraday oversold bears will want to hold fire for the time being.
