FTSE Sends Positive Price Message

Published 07/11/2016, 10:10 AM

The day before the Brexit vote you could cut the “fear” with a knife, it was that bad. We noted that the vote's outcome could be dramatic.

Weekly FTSE 100: Pre Brexit

The chart above came before the vote, showing that the FTSE 100 could be forming a bullish inverse head-and-shoulders pattern, with the head testing 5-year rising channel support. Below looks at an update to the chart.

FTSE 100: 2007-Present

Even though the Brexit vote surprised many, the outcome of the pattern going into it wasn't surprising as the FTSE continues to push higher, which sends a positive price message to indices in the states and around the world.

The decline at the time of the vote tested 6-year rising support, which held. Since then the market has bounced a good deal higher.

We continue to believe that “Price is what pays” and that much of what the media throws at us in confusing noise.
