FTSE 100 Technical Levels to Watch
FTSE today stopped at 7,421 just shy of the three-week highs and retreated to negative territory. Bulls are in control of the index and now are targeting for a close above the daily top before an attempt to monthly highs at 7,430. In case we have any positive Brexit news the FTSE will make an attempt to yearly highs at 7,727.
On the downside, FTSE 100 will meet intraday support at 7,385 the daily, while if that level breached the next support comes at 7.314 the 100-day moving average. November’s 1st low at 7,246 is the next critical support point.
