The FTSE 100 tells us it is starting a new uptrend after the sell off.

However, it is still below the daily 200 MA and this might make it difficult for the index to climb higher in a smooth fashion. A possible pattern target is the ascending triangle target.

The top of the ascending triangle pattern is the new support and if FTSE is able to stay above this area, then it is likely to continue to climb higher.
