FTSE trade updateAfter yesterday's news from USA, that they back Hong Kong's bill, China said they will retaliate if it becomes a law. Tensions arise and we are back in risk off mood.
Now approaching big support soon and 200SMA. A break lower for a short. A bounce of support before continuation may offer earlier entry with better risk-reward.
Good Luck!

FTSE MIB Triangle Breakout!INDEX:FTSEMIB is clearly breaking out a perfect triangle pattern, and this is a confirmation that a long position would be the best opportunity for a long term investment for this year... I think the best would be:
Open a long position
Keeping it up for one year max
Closing the position before (10 days before min) the falling wave that comes after the triangle pattern.
Happy trading to all!
What do you think it'll happen after the triangle breakout? Would you do a totally long position or maybe use some oscillations to maximize profit? What about the leverage? I think that a 2x leverage would be the best and the safest option for this position.
A50 hit A new high this year, A bull market is far away?Today, the a50 futures index of Singapore hit a new high in 2019, which represents the Chinese blue chip stocks. In the past four years, the index has been showing strong characteristics. A big convergence triangle has reached the end, and if it breaks through 15000, it will form a breakthrough trend. We know that China is revamping A series of financial regulations to attract international capital inflows, and the continued increase in flows through Hong Kong over the past few months shows that foreign investors are bullish on China's a-shares.
So what is the logic? After China's economic stagnation, actually I have been calling for everyone to see how A shares, when economic recession period, the theory of capital outflow is inevitable, but China is not the same, because there are all kinds of control measures, leading to the freedom of capital flows to the developed market, so in the case of domestic capital couldn't go out, can only choose A relatively safe investments, and the economic recession period, the influence of real estate investment and industrial investment suffered more serious, and as A light assets of the securities investment become relatively flexible choice. So from this point of view, A shares are more suitable for the current capital choice. And we also know that after Japan signed the plaza accord with the United States, the economy suffered a major blow, but the nikkei index has a bull trend, this is the characteristics of securities assets.
But on the other hand, China still has A lot of room for reform. Financial reform is one of the most important targets. Therefore, in the context that the Chinese government is in urgent need of capital securitization, a-shares naturally become the first choice for investment.
So I believe in the next 3-5 years, A shares will show A slow bull trend, but this slow bull trend will have several characteristics
1, differentiation is more and more obvious, garbage shares will lie down on the floor, and will not appear before the reincarnation phenomenon, do not hope garbage shares pheasant into phoenix, because the board has implemented the quasi-registration system, shell resource value dropped significantly
2, innovation is the main melody, with the deepening of China's economic reform, technology innovation is an inevitable trend, whether import substitution, or the industrial upgrading, has a huge space, and 5 g based on Internet of things will be in 10 years to become the foundation of the global economy increase, China will not give up this chance, relevant industry faces huge opportunity
3. The correct exchange rate of capital will be greatly improved, and the quality of Chinese listed companies will also be greatly improved. With the entry of international capital, the standard level will be continuously improved, and the mode of forcing reform will be more obvious
Above all, I think the a-share market is full of opportunities, we should grasp well, look at the past four years, although after the crash, A series of deleveraging brings the pain, but we also see the a-share phenomenon is more and more good, maotai such soft gold value recognition is A good phenomenon, and apple so great company, also can appear in China.

Elementis - A break above 167.9p and it will be in its element.Buy Elementis (ELM.L)
Elementis plc is a United Kingdom-based specialty chemicals company. The Company operates through two segments: Specialty Products and Chromium. The Specialty Products segment provides functional additives to the coatings, personal care and energy markets.
Market Cap: £895Million
The bearish momentum in Elementis appears to have slowed in recent weeks. It’s an early call, but I think a bottom pattern could be about to complete. The shares posted an impressive turnaround from the lows in yesterday's session to form a large hammer candle. A break of resistance at 167.9p should get things going on the upside. The medium-term target is up at 209p.

Just Group has been in the process of forming a bottom pattern for the past couple of months. The break above resistance at 57.50p confirms the pattern and projects an upside move to 79.30p over the short to medium term. There is also an unfilled gap at 96.50p, which formed when the company posted disappointing results. I like the prospects of recovery from here.

Market Cap: £1.57Billion
Balfour Beatty is trading in a long-term downtrend on the chart and is currently at the upper end of a bearish triangle pattern. The price action has been slightly bullish in recent weeks as the shares gapped higher in August on results. Crest Nicholson today posted a profit warning and expect profits to dip over the next 2 years. That could be a warning shot to all construction companies in the UK. We would prefer to reduce exposure to anything construction related at present and look at speculative short positions.

UK Market - Impulse move in the making.Two points of view are provided in the chart as two scenarios are both likely.
Upside has a target of £10,000, Pivot level at £6,000 and downside target of £4,500.
The wedge, price stalling and curvature of the price action up to the wedge, tells that there is a possibility for a rejection from a recovering bull market and into a financial recession. Fundamental data will appropriately explain and show which direction the FTSE takes.
Personally neutral on this, both are likely in my playbook - however I think there's more reason for recovery and continuation upwards because of geopolitics more than technical analysis.

FTSE100: Double Buy Target.The index has broken above both the 1D MA50 and MA200 this week and 1D turned bullish (RSI = 57.795, MACD = 3.690, Highs/Lows = 85.3366) towards the 7,440 Resistance. It appears to be repeating the April - July sequence, currently being at the start of the final (and most aggressive) bullish leg. The obvious short term target is the 7,440 Resistance but in our opinion, and with the 1D RSI potential, if the 1D candle that breaks the Resistance closes above that level, we can extend the uptrend as high as 7,620.

The healthcare segment is engaged in providing professional medical services, comprising diagnostic services, in and outpatient clinics, provision of all types of research and medical services in the field of gynecology, obstetrics and human reproduction and retailing of pharmaceutical goods. It also includes the provision of management services in respect of a hospital.
Market Cap: £5.68Billion
NMC Health appears to be forming a bottom pattern on the daily chart. A break above resistance at 3016p is required to complete the pattern, which as this stage is still in the ‘one to watch’ category. The completion of an inverse head and shoulders bottom pattern targets a move to 4325p over the short to medium term. Investors with a more speculative nature could buy at current levels to improve the upside potential. The idea would be invalidated on a move below 2420p.

Target 2: 3760p

Persimmon - Looks set to re-build its share price.Technicals
Persimmon is holding at key support and showing signs of attracting value hunters. I also note the bullish divergence on the relative ratio (Persimmon share price / UKX). The price of sterling has been a drag on the shares and with GBP moving higher yesterday it could offer some relief to domestic stocks. Technically and fundamentally, Persimmon looks good value here.
Fundamentals
Persimmon currently ranks towards the top of our fundamental model with exceptional scores on value, profitability, momentum and quality metrics. The shares have underperformed the market over the past 1 to 3 months but we do not expect this to continue.
Pros
Ranks in the top 5 of our fundamental ranking model.
Canaccord Genuity reiterated ‘Buy’ advice on the 20th August with a price target of 2720p.
The business continues to produce steady cash flow and boasts a healthy dividend.
Cons
Sales have slowed in recent months.

Flowtech Fluidpower plc is a United Kingdom-based distributor of technical fluid power products. The Company operates through two divisions: Flowtechnology, which is geographically split into Flowtechnology UK (FTUK) and Flowtechnology Benelux (FTB), and Power Motion Control (PMC). FTUK and FTB focus on supplying distributors and resellers of industrial maintenance, repair and operation (MRO) products, primarily serving urgent orders rather than bulk offerings. The PMC division is engaged in the design and assembly of engineering components and hydraulic systems, which are managed by component supply along with a service and repair function.

Flowtech is trading in a neat range between 98.5p to 165.5p on the daily chart. The company pays a dividend, which is quite rare of a small cap business. The recent ex-dividend date has been shrugged off with no real impact on the share price. There is an unfilled gap at 120.5p, which is our first target, beyond that we believe the share price could climb towards 149.5p, then 165.5p.
