FTSE 100 begins to fall once more
After holding the line yesterday, the FTSE 100 is slipping lower once again.
It has created a new lower high on the intraday charts, with the low from Monday at 7489 now in sight. Below this, 7340 comes into view. A push above 7590 would suggest a move back towards resistance at 7700, but overall price action so far suggests that the sellers remain in charge.
