​​​FTSE 100 rallies amid bullish US equity markets

​The FTSE 100's recovery from last week’s low at 8,070 has taken it to the October-to-November downtrend line at 8,258 with it and the 55-day simple moving average (SMA) at 8,273 thwarting the upside at present. If overcome, however, the late October high at 8,326 will be next in line.

​Minor support is seen at the 1 November high at 8,203.

​Only a bearish reversal to below Monday’s intraday low at 8,161 would reinstate the previous downtrend breakout of the previous sideway trading range.

NASDAQ 100 rallies strongly

​The NASDAQ 100's swift bullish reversal off last week’s three-week low at 19,877 has taken it close to its late October peak at 20,652. If exceeded, the July all-time high at 20,760 would be next in line.

​Minor support can be found around the 20,499 mid-October high and the 20,316 late September peak.

​S&P 500 trades in all-time highs

​The S&P 500 has strongly rallied from Monday’s low at 5,696 and is now trading in new record highs above its 5,882 mid-October peak. The psychological 6,000 region is next in line.

​Minor support below Monday’s 5,840 low can be spotted at the late September 5,773 high.
