The FTSE 100 closed at 10,379 (-0.75%) amid a day of modest selling pressure, reflecting broader market concerns as investors reassess growth prospects in light of recent economic data. The index traded within a range of 10,366 to 10,462, indicating volatility but ultimately failing to maintain upward momentum.

From a technical perspective, the index remains below both the 20-day and 50-day simple moving averages (SMA), which stand at 10,432 and 10,431, respectively, suggesting a bearish short-term trend. The relative strength index (RSI) at 46.6 indicates a neutral market condition, with no clear overbought or oversold signals emerging, while the 52-week range of 9,507.40 to 10,911 highlights significant resistance above current levels.

Looking ahead, key levels to watch include the psychological support at 10,300 and resistance around 10,500. A sustained breach above the 50-day SMA could signal a shift in momentum, while a failure to hold above 10,300 might prompt further declines.
