Weekly market brief: 31 May - 4 June 2021

FTSE 100 (#UKX)

The FTSE had almost a flat week up +0.03% in a consolidation as we highlighted: given the current moves, we will look for a break of specific levels for the new targets.

For the week ahead, a break of 7,000 may lead the Index to test 6,900. On the contrary, a close above 7,050 may lead to current resistance at 7,145.

Indicators

From a technical perspective, we can clearly see both upward and downward trendline that are now arriving at conjunction: a break of one of the two levels may lead to stronger moves.

MACD and RSI are not giving, at this moment, particular direction.

A positive note is for sure given by a rising 50MA which can act as strong support in case of pullbacks.

Support at 6,900 and resistance 7,035

The FTSEMIB had a positive week up +1.24% setting itself for further upside.

Indicators

From a technical perspective, the Index managed to break on strong volumes the 25,000 level: we expect now a retest of this level before keeping moving higher.

Support at 24,716 and resistance at 25,223

The close above the 9MA has generally lead to further upside: the possible test of previous high might lead to a double top formation, however is still too early to understand it.
