There is little change to the outlook for the FTSE 100.  5 waves down from the 2007 high are complete and A 3 wave advance is underway now, probably towards the former 4th wave / Fibonacci resistance in the 4676 - 5232 zone.  The index should stay above 3876 on its way to mentioned resistance.

The FTSE broke higher out a rising wedge formation, positioning to test resistance at the 76.4% Fibonacci retracement level near the psychologically significant 4400.00 level. Near-term support is seen at wedge resistance-turned-support, now at 4278.55.
