UK 100 Index Focus – 3 Apr

Major Support & Resistance (pivot points – explained):

Pivot Point: 6663; Support 1, 2 & 3: 6648, 6621, 6604; Resistance 1, 2 & 3: 6689, 6706, 6731

The UK flagship index  UK 100 has encountered some resistance after regaining 6680 intraday highs of 18-March, which is understandable given the 2 week rally from 6500 and the all-important ECB policy decision this afternoon and US jobs report tomorrow. After some initial optimism from another positive US close and an overnight mini-Chinese stimulus package, it looks like final Eurozone PMI Services readings have taken the wind out of the bulls sails (UK included) with prints missing estimates slightly. European equities trading back around breakeven.

On the long term graph, we sit in the mid-range of recent and 6500 lows 6875 highs, right on the 50 and 100-day MAs. The long-term uptrend holds, with momentum positive and still rising but some uncertainty prevails today. Shorter-term,  the 3-month graph shows rising support and a breakout above falling highs from Feb, it but still needs to overcome 6680 March intraday highs. The 1-month shows potential downside back to 6620, which could simply represent a healthy correction within the overall 2-week rally .
