FTSE 100
NeutralArchived analysis from Aug 26, 2026, 8:23 PM
Key insight
10,850 is the fulcrum — bulls need a daily close above 10,900 to confirm breakout; failure keeps the index range-bound between 200-day MA at 10,620 and the 2026 high near 10,950.
10,850 holds near all-time highs but GBP/USD at 1.3593 (-0.4%) compresses export earner valuations; index stalls below 10,900 resistance with no fresh catalyst.
Main risk
GBP/USD strength vs. export earners
GBP/USD at 1.3593 (-0.4% today) squeezes revenues of FTSE's large-cap dollar earners; sustained GBP strength above 1.36 caps index upside.
