Trapdoor moment about the FTSE 100 today? Does DAX look weak ?

There is a sense of a trapdoor moment about the FTSE 100 today, with the index hovering above 6050 this morning. This is a key support area, which prevented further downside throughout May and even in late March/early April. If this goes then the risk is that we see a swift move to 5900 or even down towards 5600. Intraday oversold conditions might lead to a bounce, but anything below 6200 should still be seen as a selling opportunity.

Dax

Having dropped through 9730 this morning, the index looks weak, and further downside moves would push it on towards the April low at 9500, and then on down towards 9000 itself. If the index can clamber back above 9800 bulls may be in with a chance, but it will need solid price action back above 10,000 to reverse the outlook at present.
