FTSE 100 : HIGH IN THE SKY
- The market still trades above a bullish trend line since mid-February 2024, strongly helped by a decreasing Pound Sterling. The mid-term trend is bullish for UK equities.
- Since the 3rd impact on its bullish trendline at the end of last week, the market has rallied to an hall-time high above 8,000pts.
Since the impact on the 8,200pts mark, we can notice a slowdown of the short-term bullish acceleration. Indeed, new highs are registered with less and less strength, a situation clearly confirmed with the bearish divergence from the MACD indicator.
Very short-term moving averages remain bullish, acting as dynamic support, while the market currently fails to clear the 8,200pts level for a second time in a row.
- The mid-term situation stays bearish for the market. However, on a very short-term view, all leads to a market correction.
The bullish trend slowdown taking place in uncharted territory may be the sign that some investors want to take some profit out.
If that happens to be proven in the next few session, the market will be likely to test the newly established floor around 8,045pts, with 8,152pts and 8,112pts as intermediate support zones, before registering new highs.
