That long didn't last for long!

I guess as they say when the last bear turns positive it's the time to sell so I reckon I should have second guessed myself!

Low at 528 compared to my predicted support at 525. I just wish I'd waited for a better entry price.

It looks like previous resistance has turned to support and for now at least buying dips whilst...

I reckon anything below 470 and above 430 (Jun Fut) is no man's land before the BoE meeting this afternoon, don't think you can read too much in to any moves in this zone.

It seems reluctant to go higher but often some of the more vicious turn arounds are. They like to sulk around the lows for a bit to get weak bulls shaken out and a few bears on board.

May I venture to say that this could be a good time to buy the FTSE if you believe the longer term rally can keep going.

It seems to be that around 6550 (Jun Fut) might act as support.

Hi lurker

It can be useful to have a daily bias ie only long or only short based on a longer term indicator maybe a ema on the hourly or daily chart.

Are you saying you sell when the 8ema crosses below the 21ema and exit when the reverse occurs?
