The FTSE 100 fell slightly during the day on Thursday, breaking below the 7400 level. The market looks as if there is going to be a bit of bearish pressure, so if we can break below the 7375 handle, I think we probably go looking towards the 7350 level, and then eventually 7300 level. Alternately, if we can break above the 7440 handle, then I think that the market goes higher, looking for the gap above at the 7500 level, which I think is probably where we end up. All things being said, I believe that we will see volatility in the currency markets could have a say as well. If the British pound starts to sell off, that could be good for this market also.
