FTSE 100
NeutralArchived analysis from Aug 17, 2026, 1:53 PM
Key insight
10,730 sits in no-man's land: support at 10,650 (50-day MA) holds but 10,800 round-number caps rallies — a clean break either side sets the next 150-200pt move.
Holds 10,730 but stalls below the 10,800 round-number resistance; broad European weakness (CAC -0.6%, DAX -0.2%) caps upside while GBP/USD at 1.3563 squeezes exporters.
Main risk
GBP/USD strength at 1.3563
GBP/USD +0.2% to 1.3563 erodes earnings on repatriation for FTSE's large-cap multinationals; sustained above 1.36 tightens the squeeze.
