UK 100 Index Focus – 20 Nov

Major Support & Resistance (pivot points – explained):

Pivot Point: 6687; Support 1, 2 & 3: 6666, 6648, 6626; Resistance 1, 2 & 3: 6707, 6728, 6747

Has the index developed a 4-day Head & Shoulders top pattern after the recent 4-dayrecovery? Combined with pressure from falling highs from end-October, could this see the current 3-week correction carry on as far as mid-Nov lows of 6610? If so, and the level holds it could provide a more solid platform for a resumption of the longer-term uptrend. Note daily chart still shows momentum off its worst levels of November. Recovery base?

Markets flat an hour after the open, with participants likely waiting for Fed FOMC minutes this evening (and those from the BOE) for more evidence on the committee’s divergent views and thus potential timing of QE3 tapering (to delay or not to delay?), even if overnight commentary was largely dovish. Central bank watching is key as ever with markets so sensitive to monetary stimulus.

The 6700 level has lost its importance (no longer the pivot point)Watch levels 6666 support and 6710 resistance.
