FTSE 100 daily chart, September 18, 2017

The FTSE 100 gapped lower on Friday and broke down towards the 7200 level. This is a very negative sign, and if we can break down below the 7200, I think we go to 7100. Rallies will be resistive, and it’s not until we break above the 7300 level that I would be interested in buying. With the GBP/USD pair rallying as strong as it has as of late, due to the Bank of England forecasting interest rate hikes, exporters are getting hammered in the United Kingdom. That of course is negative for this index, and that being the case I think we continue to see some bearish pressure.
