The FTSE 100 gapped lower at the open on Monday, finding the 7300 level as support. We bounce from there, and then reached towards the short-term resistance that was prevalent on Friday. We fell back towards the 7300 level, forming a hammer on the hourly chart which suggests that there is support here as well. Simply put, I think that the 7300 level is very important, and I believe that it’s not until we break down below the 7280 level that I would consider this market in trouble. If we can break above the 7340 level, then I think the market goes looking towards the 7400 level above. In the meantime, I expect seeing a significant amount of choppiness.
