FTSE 100 drops from trendline resistance
The FTSE 100 remains within a very tight ascending triangle formation, with directional volatility dropping out of the market in the second half of the week.
As such, we await a breakout, with a rally through 7271 providing a bullish continuation signal. Meanwhile, a fall below 7228 would point towards a more bearish outlook for the near term.
