    Is that not the english word to use describing someone or group that use false statements to manipulate ones understanding of the truth?

    What would you use?

      Looking at the 3-day chart tells another story. We're testing a resistance trend line for the 3rd time. If it fails to break through in the coming days, a massive sell off will occur. A break through would be hugely bullish.

      I've honestly no idea which way it will go in the near term (1-2 weeks).
      This is the most accurate thing you've said.

      Fact is none of us do. We can all speculate but no looking back on historic graphs, or tea leaves, will tell any of us with any certainty what will happen next.

      My 'guess' is that it won't again break below the 5400 that we hit at the start of the pandemic. Reason being that businesses are learning to live in the new normal. Some businesses will go bust, but the string ones will continue to grow and prosper and will come out the other side much stronger. This is what the markets are showing today.

      I only hold market level funds as this reflects the general trend; for me, holding individual stocks is too risky and I'm inherently risk averse.

              Good good. Your lines appear to connect minimum confluence. Remember, you need to maximise the confluence with the candle bodies (not wicks) for meaningful projections.

                Google "FTSE 100".
