FTSE 100 Price Forecast December 13, 2017, Technical Analysis
The FTSE 100 rallied during the day on Tuesday, reaching the psychologically important 7500 level. This is an area that I would expect a little bit of a pullback from, and on the hourly chart we are in fact starting to show signs of resistance. I think that the market pulling back to the $7450 level makes sense, where we would see a bit of order flow coming back into play. That should be a buying opportunity, and I think that the 7400 level will be a bit of a “floor” in the uptrend. However, if we were to break above the 7500 level, that should send the market towards the 7600 level above, the top of the longer-term consolidation area.
I think it’s going to take a while to break above the 7600 level, but once we do it’s a longer-term buy-and-hold situation. I think the pullbacks continue to be opportunities to get long of the market, but I think that the best way to get involved is to look at these pullbacks as value that we can add slowly to a longer-term move. I believe the market is a little bit overextended at this point, so the pullback is welcomed. I have no interest in shorting, I believe that we are starting to see a move towards the top of the longer-term consolidation, and of course value to be found in the United Kingdom. It’s not until we break down below the 7300 level that I would think that we could be in trouble.
