I was looking so close for the end of year FTSE prediction as well
on the plus side I can buy back in at a cheaper rate and might finally be able to dump my metro bank shares for a profit!!1 -

I think this year could be the year of no rally. Can't see over 6,500.2

I’m sitting at 6450, I respectfully remind you...but anything could happen. More likely bad...1 -

A deal with the EU (no EU deals get done until the last minute anyway so anything before then isn’t a ‘no deal’ it’s a negotiation process leading to the inevitable compromise), the French and others back down on the own goal of a UK blockade and approval for the Oxford Astra Zeneca Covid vaccine and your 6,750 prediction won’t look too shabby.1 -
I agree its far from over.
Now then, what time does the LSE actually close on 31st, anyone know?0 - Sponsored links:

Everything to play for.
Covid Mutation, Brexit, Santa Rally, Buy the Rumour Sell the Fact Stimulus ... could go anywhere.0 -
Well, this is exciting...6,442. Edging down, while tech laden indices move up.
If it stays around this level then the eventual winner will be very close indeed to the actual closing figure as several of us are bunched around 6400-6500.
If the LSE closes lunchtime on NYE, I should be able to get the results up failry sharpish and someone can break out more bubbly in the evening0 -
Not that I'm clutching at straws (!) but the 55d ma is moving up about 9 points a day at the moment. If the FTSE drops that will be a resistance point and will be sitting around 6235 at the time ....
I think it could still be anywhere in the 6000-6600 range.1 -

Sounds like something off the crypto threadCan you enlighten a mug punter?

I still think it can make it to 6600-6700.
More in hope than expectation though I must say.0 -

The only problem is that it really doesn't take into account major factors such as a trade deal being agreed (or not), borders being closed or Covid mutating into a even nastier bugger.1 -
Fair cop, @PragueAddick!
The '55 day moving average' is one of a few that people track. There will often be resistance or support in that area depending if you are coming from below or above respectively.
Happy to bore you with others (the 200 day is the one that I think is relevant for investors and is currently tilting upwards just above 6000) - let me know.

Be very interesting to see where FTSE finishes up tomorrow, loads of rumours circulating that a deal has been Brokered, although a normally quiet half day Crimbo Eve, a BREXIT deal will lead to a lively 3-4 hours on the markets. Currently 6496.
Seasonal regards all.0 -

There is still a huge range of 6-6600 that it could end up in, given all the factors involved. I don't think this evening's news will be the end of the volatility either!0 - Sponsored links:

Woke up to the news on the BBC that European market futures are 'surging'. FTSE 100 currently at 6503. Nah, that's not a 'surge'. I'm afraid that's it, punters. That's yer Brexit Bounce.
Never mind. I was just looking back on the Excel of your forecasts. The median prediction across 27 punters was 6320. Right now it looks to me like the CL S&I thread is gonna show up a few experts..
If you held decent investments this year, you have to be thankful. And if you and yours are healthy, even more so. Wish you all a very nice Christmas.4 -

Have a good, if quiet, break everyone and thanks for organising this 'competition' again, @PragueAddick!2 -
I agree, the FTSE100 would "surge" more on a no deal. The FTSE250 or Allshare is your friend if there is a good trade deal.
FWIW. FTSE100 closed today at 12.30pm so same again on the 31st I would think. Now sitting at 6502. My 6666 is looking good if there are no major disasters over the next week.1 -
Just calculating the gain on my SIPP this year. Sadly I didn't record a value for Jan 1st but have statements for Nov 2019 & early Feb this year.
Up 21.3% since Feb 4th & up 27.4% since Nov 2019. Not bad in a pandemic where worldwide economies have shut down & Governments have been borrowing billions.

Overall it's been a good investment year, i'm even above the FTSE level on those dodgy structured products I got sold1 -
I factored in an expected rise between Xmas and New Year, when many people are hoping for a good new year.
So I was hoping for around 6500/6600 on Xmas eve for a 6700 finish. It's still possible as the market closed before the Brexit deal was announced.0 -
My SIPP is up about 12% from 1st Feb which considering the circumstances I’m very happy about. It’s also worth remembering that some of us may have a lower risk appetite than others and so gains might not be so great.0
