Made in England.. FTSE 100 Triangle BreakoutFinally the long term triangle pattern in blue chip UK stocks has broken - and the weekly chart for the FTSE 100 index is looking very positive.
The breakout weekly candle is a long one with a close right near the highs - showing bulls are well in control of the market.
We can see the triangle break in more granular detail on the daily chart with the break confirmed on Thursday and a strong follow-through move on Friday.
Support is found first at the former all time high (8450-8475) then back at the broken trendline from the triangle pattern.
These support levels define our risk - the price back inside the triangle will inform us the breakout has failed - this time at least.
But if things move as we expect, using the height of the triangle pattern as a price objective from the breakout point, the UK 100 could reach 9,000.
But - as always - that’s just how the team and I are seeing things, what do you think?
Share your ideas with us - OR - send us a request!
Comments welcome :)
cheers!

FTSE 100 Index May Reach 8500FTSE 100 Index May Reach 8500
As shown on the chart of the UK stock index FTSE 100 (UK 100 on FXOpen):
→ It has risen by over 3% in three days;
→ It is near the record high set in May last year and may reach the psychological level of 8500 points.
Bullish sentiment has been supported by yesterday's news of GDP recovery – according to media reports, the economy grew by 0.1% in November 2024 (compared to a previous decline of 0.1%), primarily driven by the dominant services sector.
Technical analysis of the FTSE 100 (UK 100 on FXOpen) chart shows that since mid-2024, the index has predominantly fluctuated within the 8000–8400 range, only briefly moving beyond it, which was accompanied by spikes in the RSI indicator.
The current RSI level indicates strong overbought conditions, making the FTSE 100 (UK 100 on FXOpen) vulnerable to a pullback. Should this occur, it will provide important insights into the strength of demand. This could be assessed by the index’s ability to remain above the 8333 support level and the lower boundary of the ascending channel (marked in blue).
Potential challenges for bulls are highlighted by MT Newswires, which report that analysts forecast higher inflation and weaker growth in 2025, amid expectations of a significant rise in labour costs.

FTSE 100 H4 | Potential bearish breakoutFTSE 100 (UK100) is falling towards a potential breakout level and could drop lower from here.

UK100 "FTSE 100 Index Cash" Indices Market Bearish Heist Plan🌟Hi! Hola! Ola! Bonjour! Hallo!🌟
Dear Money Makers & Robbers, 🤑 💰
Based on 🔥Thief Trading style technical and fundamental analysis🔥, here is our master plan to heist the UK100 "FTSE 100 Index Cash" Indices market. Please adhere to the strategy I've outlined in the chart, which emphasizes long entry. Our aim is the high-risk Red Zone. Risky level, overbought market, consolidation, trend reversal, trap at the level where traders and bearish robbers are stronger. Be wealthy and safe trade.💪🏆🎉
Entry 📈 : You can enter a Bull trade at any point.
however I advise placing Buy limit orders within a 15 or 30 minute timeframe. Entry from the most recent or closest low or high level should be in retest.
Stop Loss 🛑: Using the 2H period, the recent / nearest low or high level.
Goal 🎯: 8380 (or) escape Before the Target
Scalpers, take note 👀 : only scalp on the Long side. If you have a lot of money, you can go straight away; if not, you can join swing traders and carry out the robbery plan. Use trailing SL to safeguard your money 💰.
Warning⚠️ : Our heist strategy is incompatible with Fundamental Analysis news 📰 🗞️. We'll wreck our plan by smashing the Stop Loss 🚫🚏. Avoid entering the market right after the news release.
Fundamental Outlook 📰🗞️
Based on the fundamental analysis, I would conclude that the UK100 FTSE 100 Index Cash is:Bullish
Reasons:
Strong economic growth: The UK's economy is expected to grow at a rate of 2.0% in 2023, driven by a strong labor market, increasing business investment, and a rebound in the housing market.
Low unemployment rate: The UK's unemployment rate is at a historic low of 3.8%, which is expected to support consumer spending and economic growth.
Increasing corporate earnings: UK companies are expected to report increasing earnings in 2023, driven by a strong global economy and a competitive pound.
Monetary policy support: The Bank of England (BoE) has kept interest rates at a low level of 1.0%, which is expected to support borrowing and spending in the economy.
Fiscal policy support: The UK government has announced a series of fiscal stimulus measures, including tax cuts and infrastructure spending, which are expected to support economic growth.
However, it's essential to consider the following risks:
Brexit uncertainty: The ongoing Brexit negotiations and uncertainty surrounding the UK's future relationship with the EU could impact the UK's economy and stock market.
Global economic slowdown: A slowdown in global economic growth could reduce demand for UK exports and impact the country's economic growth.
Trade tensions: Escalating trade tensions between the UK and other countries, particularly the US and EU, could impact the UK's trade balance and economic growth.
Bullish Factors:
Strong global economic growth, driven by strong consumer spending and investment.
Low interest rates, which can increase demand for stocks and reduce demand for bonds.
Potential for a rebound in the UK economy, driven by a resolution to Brexit uncertainty and a pickup in global trade.
Growing investment demand for UK stocks, driven by their potential for long-term growth and dividend yields.
Diversification benefits of investing in the UK stock market, which can reduce portfolio risk and increase returns.
Market Sentiment:
Bullish sentiment: 70%
Bearish sentiment: 30%
Neutral sentiment: 0%
Please note that this is a general analysis and not personalized investment advice. It's essential to consider your own risk tolerance and market analysis before making any investment decisions.
Take advantage of the target and get away 🎯 Swing Traders Please reserve the half amount of money and watch for the next dynamic level or order block breakout. Once it is resolved, we can go on to the next new target in our heist plan.
Keep in mind that these factors can change rapidly, and it's essential to stay up-to-date with market developments and adjust your analysis accordingly.
💖Supporting our robbery plan will enable us to effortlessly make and steal money 💰💵 Tell your friends, Colleagues and family to follow, like, and share. Boost the strength of our robbery team. Every day in this market make money with ease by using the Thief Trading Style.🏆💪🤝❤️🎉🚀
I'll see you soon with another heist plan, so stay tuned 🫂
FTSE (UK100)BIAS: BULLISH
The FTSE(UK100) still ranging between 8400 and 8000... Break range and expect a big move (9K or retest 7800).
That rejection of 8100 makes me bullish bias X 2
If bias was to change
A solid push and resistance found around 8100-8000 would be expected.
Unless specifically timed with a low chance of alteration by external forces, anticipating the exact timing of events is unrealistic.
FTSE 100 bottom formed. Target for Summer 2025 set.FTSE 100 (UK100) is currently on a strong rebound after a mid-December hit-and-hold on the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line). That was a Double Bottom along with the November 11 2024 1W candle Low. At the same time, this rebound is taking place after a test of the 13-month Higher Lows Zone.
In fact, that Zone started during the previous bottom formation on October 23 2023, shortly after the 1W RSI formed a Higher Lows Bullish Divergence. This time the 1W RSI is on Lower Lows but since the 2024 and 2023 fractals are very similar and the 1W MA50 is holding, we expect the bottom to be already priced in.
As you can see, both previous macro Bullish Legs of FTSE's 2-year Channel Up, targeted the 1.382 Fibonacci extension once the previous High (Resistance Zone) broke. As a result, we are now setting 8650 as a Q2 2025 Target.

UK100 (FTSE) Weekly forecast, Technical Analysis & Trading IdeasMidterm forecast:(Daily TF)
The ascending flag taking shape suggests we will soon see another leg higher.
While the price is above the support 7911.37, resumption of uptrend is expected.
We make sure when the resistance at 8485.05 breaks.
If the support at 7911.37 is broken, the short-term forecast -resumption of uptrend- will be invalid.
A peak is formed in daily chart at 8385.30 on 12/09/2024, so more losses to support(s) 8083.43, 8007.24 and minimum to Major Support (7911.37) is expected.
Trading suggestion:
There is possibility of temporary retracement to suggested Trend Hunter Buy Zone (8007.24 to 7911.37). We wait during the retracement, until the price tests the zone, whether approaching, touching or entering the zone.
We would set buy orders based on Daily-Trading-Opportunities and expect to reach short-term targets.

FTSE UK100 Reaches Key Demand Area Amid Seasonal TrendsThe FTSE UK100 index has recently reached a crucial demand area, igniting traders' interest amid seasonality patterns observed over the past decade. Historically, this time of year tends to witness upward momentum in the index prices, making this a significant area for potential bullish moves. Given the historical context, many traders are closely monitoring developments as they assess whether the index will follow suit and initiate a rally.
From a fundamental perspective, the recent Commitment of Traders (COT) report provides a tantalizing glimpse into market dynamics. It reveals that while retail traders are predominantly bearish, "smart money"—the institutional investors—appear to be accumulating long positions. This divergence is notable; retail sentiment often serves as a contrarian indicator. With smart money stepping in at a demand zone, there is potential for a bullish reversal, which could support the index as it seeks to capitalize on favorable seasonal trends.
Moreover, the broader economic landscape remains conducive to this optimistic outlook. As the UK grapples with various macroeconomic factors, including inflation rates and monetary policy responses, investor sentiment has become increasingly nuanced. A stronger performance in the FTSE may be supported by sectors that typically thrive during this time, such as commodities and financial services, providing tailwinds for the index.
As traders look ahead, the focus on a bullish scenario is intensifying. The critical consideration is whether the FTSE UK100 can sustain momentum above the demand area, signaling a recovery phase that may align with both historical patterns and smart money positioning. If the index can maintain its footing and demonstrate strength in the coming sessions, it may very well affirm the bullish sentiment among those advocating for a market upturn.
In summary, the convergence of seasonal patterns, contrasting market sentiment as illustrated by the COT report, and the strong fundamental backdrop paints a compelling picture for the FTSE UK100. Traders are poised to explore opportunities in a potentially bullish scenario, keen to see if the index will follow historical tendencies and deliver a strong performance in the latter part of the year. As always, careful monitoring of market developments will be essential in navigating this promising but complex landscape.

FTSE Index Rebounds from Near Three-Month LowFTSE Index Rebounds from Near Three-Month Low
The chart for the British FTSE 100 index (UK 100 on FXOpen) illustrates:
→ Indicated by the red arrow: Yesterday, the index fell below the 8100 level for the first time since early August, driven by bearish sentiment in the U.S. stock market following reports from Microsoft (MSFT) and Meta Platforms (META), as we noted previously.
→ Indicated by the blue arrow: Today, the FTSE 100 is rebounding on the back of local economic data releases, including UK housing prices, which, according to Trading Economics, grew less than expected.
Technical analysis of the FTSE 100 (UK 100 on FXOpen) suggests that the UK stock market may be entering a downtrend, as:
→ It’s plausible that the market has been in a period of consolidation since September, forming a narrowing triangle pattern between the Support and Resistance lines.
→ An attempted bullish breakout of the Resistance line in late October failed to trigger an uptrend, while the bearish breach of the Support line appears more substantial.
→ The arrows indicate that today’s uptick may simply be a bounce from the lower boundary of a descending channel.
What’s next?
Given the correlation with the U.S. stock market, traders will likely focus on today’s key U.S. employment report due at 15:30 GMT+3, which could provide critical signals on interest rate prospects ahead of next week’s Fed meeting.
As long as the FTSE 100 index price (UK 100 on FXOpen) remains below the 8220 breakout level for the Support line, it appears the bears retain greater control.

FTSE Bullish break-out taking place. Target 8650.Almost 2 months ago (August 30, see chart below) we called for a rejection of FTSE 100 (UK100) back to the Symmetrical Support Zone (SSZ), where our next buy entry would be:
As you can see, the price action duly delivered and the price has been gradually rising off the SSZ to the point where last week it broke above the Lower Highs trend-line. The 1W RSI is also about to make a bullish break-out above its own Channel Down.
We have seen this kind of pattern during the previous two Bullish Legs since late 2022. Every time they broke above the Resistance Zone, the price peaked around the 1.382 Fibonacci extension. As a resut, our new long-term Target is 8650.

Footsie Hasn’t Topped Yet; Shows Bullish PatternWe talked about Footsie back in May 2024, where we mentioned and highlighted an ongoing 5th wave in the weekly chart with space up to 8800 – 9400 target area.
Footsie a.k.a. FTSE100 or UK100 stock market index is still bullish with nice and clean inverted H&S pattern on a daily chart. After a higher degree A-B-C correction in wave (4), it can be getting ready for a bullish continuation within wave (5) by a new lower degree bullish setup formation. With sharp leg up into wave 1, we are actually tracking an a-b-c pullback in wave 2, where subwave »c« is coming out of subwave »b« triangle, so ideal support is at 8100 – 8000 area, from where we should be aware of a bullish resumption for wave 3 of a five-wave bullish cycle.
FTSE 100 Bullish Ahead of Key AnnouncementsFTSE 100 Bullish Ahead of Key Announcements
The chart of the UK stock index FTSE 100 (UK 100 on FXOpen) shows prevailing positive sentiment in the market. The right side of the daily chart displays a series of bullish candles, with a likelihood of this trend continuing today, as the price has been rising since the market opened.
This optimism is likely driven by the anticipation of key announcements:
→ Tomorrow at 09:00 GMT+3, the UK CPI figures will be released. Analysts expect inflation to remain steady without an increase.
→ Also tomorrow, at 21:00 GMT+3, the Federal Reserve will announce its decision on interest rates, with a cut seeming inevitable.
Technical analysis of the FTSE 100 (UK 100 on FXOpen) chart shows:
→ In 2024, the price movement has followed an upward blue channel. The period starting in May may represent an interim correction (marked by red lines) within the ongoing uptrend.
→ The significance of the current rise lies in it being the second attempt to break through the upper red line, offering a chance to exit the corrective channel and resume growth. The first attempt was unsuccessful, as the bullish breakout above the upper red line encountered resistance from the median of the blue channel (indicated by an arrow).
Therefore, tomorrow's expected volatility spike could either reinforce the positive momentum, pushing the FTSE 100 (UK 100 on FXOpen) higher beyond the red line, or act as a "cold shower," undoing recent bullish gains and driving the price back into the red channel.

FTSE 100 Potentially topped. Strong pull-back incoming.Earlier this month (August 08, see chart below), we got the most optimal buy entry on FTSE 100 (UK100) that quickly hit the 8300 short-term Target, even earlier than we expected:
The price is now above the top (Lower Highs trend-line) of the Bearish Megaphone, a symmetrical pattern to May - August 2023. We expect this rally to top soon and then pull-back the same way to the symmetrical Support Zone, below the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line).
Shorters can target its top at 8150 and then buy for 8500.

FTSE 3rd straight green day after the bottom.FTSE 100 (UK100) is having perhaps the most convincing bottom formation out of all major global indices as despite the selling pressure evident on each day, it is (so far) today on the 3rd straight green 1D candle since Monday's Low.
That Low came just a few points from touching not only the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) but also the Higher Lows Zone (started on October 27 2023). At the same time, the Bearish Megaphone since its All Time High (ATH), displays striking similarities with the April - August 2023 pattern.
In fact, this week's Low seems to be similar with the August 18 2023 Low. That initiated a rebound that almost touched the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement level, before another correction. Even the 1D RSI patterns are similar among the two fractals.
As a result, we turn bullish again on FTSE here, targeting 8300 (just below the 0.786 Fib).
