Time to short the FTSE?

All the technicals on my charts are giving me sell signals at the moment. the FTSE has stormed for 11 days straight and broken out of the 4200-4500 range but is rapidly losing momentum.

Despite good results from the banks, further good news with land registry reporting house rises etc I can't help but be a little bearish and overly cautious.

My portfolio is often a good indicator as generally it moves in reverse to the FTSE and it really has started picking up too so a lot of data and a lot of mixed signals..... i will however be opening a short if the FTSE starts retracing to 4500 and tests this level but I will be keeping my stops very tight indeed and not moving them out if the trade starts going against me.
