The FTSE 100 fell significantly during the day on Wednesday, testing the 7470 level. We broke above the 7500 level, on the bounce, and that of course is a very bullish sign. A break above should send this market towards the 7550 level. This is a longer-term bullish market, and I think that this pullback has offered value the people will take advantage of. This will be exacerbated if the GBP/USD pair breaks down significantly. Ultimately, if the pair breaks down significantly below the 1.30 level, that should have a knock-on effect over here and send the FTSE 100 higher as it makes British exports cheaper.
I believe that currently it’s probably best to buy on the dips, and I think that it’s only a matter of time before we reach towards the 7550 level again, and then higher. I have a longer-term target of 8000, but there is a lot of volatility with the British looking to leave the European Union, and that of course will cause quite a bit in the way of volatility and headline risk.
