Monday is key for the direction

FTSE closed below 5700. The low seen on Wednesday 17 November at 5660 may prove not to be the bottom of the current leg down.

From the July low the FTSE has risen from 4800 to 5400 in 18 days, consolidated for 5 days, then fell 300pts to 5100 over the next 12 days. The 2 leg took the FTSE to 5900 in 51 days, followed by 2 days consolidation, then a fall of 240pts over 6 days to the low on Wednesday 17 November at 5660. A 50% recovery will bring the FTSE up to 5780 before falling to a target 5540

Personally, I'm still looking for a bottom around 5540 on the FTSE and 1140 on the S&P500.

Looking at the 30minute charts, only  Japan is on  a BUY signal

  1. Thanks for sharing that with us Sparky. When we hit 5900 I thought we were due for a decent pullback and had 5550 in mind, no particular reason for that figure it just looked like a good area to consider that we'd had one!
