Regency Risk Barometer Snapshot

?Risk Barometer Explained

The FTSE is set to open just above yesterday’s highs and above the descending line created by the lower swing highs printed in February.

We’ll be watching closely today to see if the market can hold and close above yesterday’s highs – as failure to do so would keep the current bearish pattern of lower swing highs and lower swing lows in place.
