Key insight

10,722 sits in no-man's land — 50-day MA at 10,650 provides floor, but 10,800 round-number resistance caps upside; a clean break either side sets the next 200-point leg.

Holds 10,722 but stalls below 10,800 resistance; European peers DAX -0.3%, CAC -0.5% confirm broad Friday risk-off with no catalyst to extend recent gains.

Main risk

Brent Crude at $98 — energy sector weight

Oil at $98.3 flatlines; FTSE's ~12% energy weighting means any sustained drop below $95 removes a key index prop.
