The leading index of the London Stock Exchange FTSE 100 continues to grow quite actively, updating record highs. The instrument is testing 8443.0 for a breakout, while there are quite a few strong drivers for the movement of quotes. This is partly why investors are focusing on the UK labor market report, published earlier in the week.

On the four-hour chart, the price is holding at 8356.8: at the key support level of 8171.4, buyers have formed a Bullish Marubozu continuation pattern for the uptrend, followed immediately by a Long-Legged Doji, which confirms the continued uncertainty in the market.
