Key insight

10,500 round-number resistance holds — four consecutive sessions unable to close above it. Break higher needs either a GBP pullback or a fresh commodity surge; rejection risks a flush to 10,200 50-day MA.

Flat at 10,454 — index consolidates below 2024 record highs near 10,500 with oil at $89.4 (+1.8%) supporting energy heavyweights but GBP/USD at 1.3208 capping export earner gains.

Main risk

GBP/USD strength at 1.3208

GBP at 1.3208 compresses FTSE 100 multinationals' overseas earnings; sustained move above 1.33 amplifies the drag.
