FTSE 100 tries to hold around 50-day MA
After Thursday’s drop, the index saw an attempt at a recovery on Friday.Modest gains so far this morning have helped to stabilize the picture and could see additional upside towards 7700. A close above 7700 would add to the bullish view and provide the possibility of a more sustained rally towards 7800.
Sellers will want to see a drop back below 7500 to negate this view and begin a possible retracement towards 7400 or lower.

DAX 40 losses stabilise
Last week’s drop from the highs seems to have stabilised around the 100-day SMA. Additional losses target the 15,700 support zone, and then on to the July low at 15,500. Below this lies the rising 200-day SMA at 15,306.
A recovery above 16,000 might begin to suggest a new move higher has begun, targeting 16,300 and then the highs of late July at 16,500.
