FTSE100

Near-term price action is holding between 7129 and 7079 (Fibo 38.2% and 50% retracement of 6867/7291 rally), as double-Doji signaled indecision bear-leg from 7291 peak.

The price is hovering around daily Kijun-sen (7104), above which close of past two days occurred, marking it as significant support.

Daily indicators are heading south and weeklies emerged from overbought territory that keeps the downside under pressure.

Extended consolidation is likely to precede fresh weakness that may extend towards targets at 7029 /7000 (Fibo 61.8%/psychological support).

Meantime, stronger upticks should stay capped under daily Tenkan-sen (7178) to keep negative scenario in play.

Firm break above here would signal reversal.
