FTSE 100 has recovered after a tricky start to the week

After a difficult start to the week the FTSE 100 has recovered, although it has yet to regain the highs around 6300. A close above 6250 would likely negate the bearish outlook and shift the view back to bullish, with the potential for a move back to the highs of April around 6430. A weaker close today would reinvigorate the negative outlook and suggest a move to the 200-day SMA at 6152, and then down towards the key 6060/6100 support zone that prevented further downside in the March – May period.

10,160 proved to be support over the past couple of days, but the index will need to push on back above 10,385 to confirm that a new upward move is in progress. A weak finish to the week would put the bears back in charge, with a move to 10,109 (the 200-day SMA) and then down to 9734 a possibility.
