The FTSE is among a handful of major global indices signaling a rebound in the stock markets following this week's earlier selling pressure.

The UK benchmark index broke below a well-established support level around 8110 area on Thursday, before quickly recovering to rally into the close. The false breakdown marks a key reversal pattern and especially as the index ended up with a hammer candle on the daily chart, rising above the 21-day exponential moving average.

Today, the FTSE is rising above the trend line of its triangle continuation pattern to the upside. A close above it would be bullish. Yesterday's high at 8228 is now an important short-term support level that needs to hold.
