Friday’s price action saw the FTSE end a volatile week on a positive note, closing near Thursday’s highs.

As the market continues to whipsaw we are starting to see a series of lower swing highs and higher swing lows emerge – indicating that a new wedge pattern is forming. We’ll be watching closely over the coming sessions to see if this wedge continues to take shape.
