Key insight

10,900 round-number resistance holding intraday — break above confirms record-territory run; failure risks mean-reversion to 10,750 50-day MA as oil slide deepens.

Six-session winning streak stalls at 10,895 — energy drag (BP -2%, Shell -1.4%) offsets mining gains; net result: flat +0.14%, index near record but momentum fading.

Main risk

Brent crude -2% / Strait of Hormuz reopening

Iran-Oman talks on Hormuz reopening sent Brent to ~$86; BP and Shell are top-10 FTSE weights — sustained oil slide removes the energy prop.
