FTSE 100 - major correction ahead?For the past year FTSE 100 price action has been trading inside a bearish rising wedge pattern following the March 2020 sell off. Price action has now completed its journey to resistance (look left) at the same time it has broken out of the wedge. The last time this occurred was in January 2020.
Currently, on the above 10-day chart, price action is meeting with strong resistance. Back in April 2015 this level resulted in a 20% correction. There’s no question about it, trading opportunities at this moment have entered a no mans land.
Is there a bullish outlook?
By definition the rising wedge is bearish and showing evidence of continuation. The majority of professional traders will not be ignoring this development, it is low risk with high probability of following through. However they can lead to false signals. For this to be one of them price action has to break through 7120 and confirm it as support. Until that happens…
Target? Closer to 5000 than 5500 with a high degree of probability.
Good luck!
