We live in hope Quite apart from the extreme weakness while I was away last week ftse has traded weak vs dow every day this week, albeit only marginally the last two days. It's well overdue for flexing its muscles a bit.

I got 6607/6574

for today. But I usually go by SP500sept levels which means ftse manipulation cannot shake me out.

sp500sept

1715/1704

3.8427 is ftse/sp500 ratio. so we get 1704 * 3.8427 = 6548.

today I think the expiry fun and games trumps levels. SP500 is extremely strong since it is way above neutral pivot levels. it has been this way since the move from 1635.

monthly buy pivot for FTSE is 6515. and for Dow 15,100

if dow can close around these levels 14,950 then it generates a longer term buy signal

thanks

pivots work on large timeframes also

I wouldn't be surprised if all the action (volatility) happens during the NY session once again?
AUD/YEN continue to be a nice trendy pair for UK session trading

Hi guys... I know I havent posted for a while... but am sharing this FTSE100 view with a few folks and didnt want to miss you out..... not cast in stone of course (nothing is) ... but thought it was an interesting picture to dwell on alongside your own views...
