Key insight

10,750 resistance cap holding — break above opens 10,900 swing high; failure risks flush to 200-day MA near 10,400. Oil at $98 is the key swing factor for FTSE's energy-heavy composition.

Stalls at 10,722 — European peers weaker (DAX -0.3%, CAC -0.5%), Oil at $98 supports energy heavyweights but GBP/USD 1.3307 squeezes exporters' earnings outlook.

Main risk

GBP/USD strength at 1.3307

GBP at 1.3307 compresses FTSE multinationals' USD revenues; each 1% GBP rise cuts ~0.5% index earnings.
