The FTSE 100 matched its previous close exactly at 10,756.45 on the open, stalling a run that had carried it to a recent peak near 10,886. The index has neither pushed to a new high nor retreated, leaving the market in a genuine holding pattern.
The pause is not shared across the Channel: the DAX added 0.29% at the open while London stood still. That split shows where conviction currently sits among continental investors.

The flat open lands almost exactly at the level where the retracement from 10,886 paused, which makes the price a natural reference point for the session ahead.
With no change recorded between the previous close and today's open, the market is asking whether the buyers who drove the recent run are ready to return or have stepped back for now.
