Key insight

Stalling 90 pts below the 2026 ATH at 10,815 with GBP strength at 1.3540 as a structural headwind. Break above 10,775 (50-day MA) is needed to confirm trend resumption; failure keeps the 10,550 200-day MA in play as a magnet.

10,723 holds above the 10,700 round-number floor but stalls 90 points below the 2026 all-time high near 10,815 — GBP/USD at 1.3540 compresses export-earner earnings, capping upside.

Main risk

GBP/USD strength eroding FTSE earnings

GBP/USD at 1.3540 cuts dollar-revenue repatriation for FTSE 100 multinationals — every 1% GBP rise historically trims index EPS by ~0.5%.
