On the Charts
- As we can observe on the FTSE 100* Daily chart the price found resistance of the last month’s upward movement on the 50% Fibonacci Retracement Level (From 7622 to 4748).
- That point acted as a strong resistance and pushed the price aggressively to the downside.
- Now, the price is at 5842, below the blue upward trendline of 23.6% Fibonacci Level (From 4729 to 6185) and the 10 days Moving Average (purple).
- RSI* is flat in the last trading sessions, since price is trading sideways but ROC* of 6 periods is below zero.
- Considering the above, we may see the price react again to the downside and reaches the previous tested of 38.2% Fibonacci Retracement Level at 5634 or lower to 5470.
