UKX Hourly - About to hit multiple resistance levelsWe had the beautiful bounce off 6480 lateral support as expected, and once again the 6600 level is acting as a magnate. Massive hourly candle, but about to hit a number of resistance levels, namely: prior channel support, 20SMA, lateral resistance. Risk reward looks decent and will be keeping trailing stop nice and tight

VUKE Daily - VERY slowly averaging back inThis morning we got the gap close we have been waiting for. Using this as an opportunity to slowly start averaging back in (ISA & SIPP portfolios) as I am very underweight (current 21% vs. circ 70% total equities target). Suspect/hoping we still get better levels, but happy to start ticking away here after going underweight early last week.
UKX Hourly - Expecting tug of war at 6600As posted yesterday - we got the gap close and lateral resistance held at 6625/35. We do now have minor support now at 6600 and a flat 20SMA. Trend is still down, but will be keeping an eye to see if we can get a bullish hourly candle here - otherwise back down to sub 6500 we go. Patience required as we wait for confirmation.
UKX Hourly-Looking at poss 6625/35 resistance for short re-entrySeeing a bit of a relief rally following last few days of selling. Trend is still down and we are floating between larger support at 6490 and resistance at 6625. Will be keeping an eye for a potential reversal from the upper 6625 resistance - and potentially even higher to 6635 where the price gapped down this morning - for a potential re-entry of my ST short position. Confirmation will be key.
UK100 Pullback gives opportunity for long on 4hr chartUK100 index has been moving in an up trend for many weeks!
Please see below rationale for the long position:
1) Long term price is to the upside - Daily & Weekly Charts
2) Price bounced back into 200 EMA (4hr chart) - Red line
3) Near term price action prompts upside - Black line drawn (still indicative rather than a conclusive trend line)
This will be a hold for more than a couple of days, therefore size accordingly. Risk management rules!
Hope this contributed to your idea generation and pip hunting activities!
Keeping it simple! Looking at the bigger picture!
UKX Daily - Ideally like to see 6600 gap filledWent underweight on Monday following the euphoria (extremely overbought on shorter time frames). Hoping for a pullback to the 6600 region where the price action gapped higher to start scaling back in - will also be a re-test of the breakout. However, there is a potential bull flag developing on the hourly chart (chart to follow). We currently in no-mans land as we await further developments.
FTSE 100 Looking For Long After RetraceThis is making a retrace after spiking 3 days ago. I am looking for an entry around 0.5 Fibonacci as this aligns with some previous resistance although it is best to wait for confirmation as it could drop further. Once we see a rebound target will be at a new high and where it will meet resistance of 7004.
FTSE Enter Long on RetraceFTSE 100 has had a big push higher, want to see a retrace before entering a long. Once it peaks on the current spike look for retrace to around 0.382 Fibonacci for entry. I have set target at a new high of 7004.4 although there will likely be some resistance at the previous high so can also take profit there and re-enter on the retrace from there.
FTSE100 - UK100 - Can Meet Last Year Levelin last 12 months many things happens in Economy Covid-19 and Politics. Economy need to run and can see life more normal. UK100 can see last year level 7200 to 7600.
FTSE will now Crash to 3650 - the trade of the YearHello all
DuncanForex here with a follow up on my trade idea that I've been watching since Feb 2020 - with no advertising about anything so the post will stay active.
With the power move during February 2020 (The AB Move) and then a slower retrace to the previous area of support which is now resistance.
The FTSE broke out of its downward consolidation long and is now progressing higher over the past few months to the 61.8 Fib retrace.
The Bullish move that occurred last month pushed the price into the middle of the 61.8% and 78.6% zone, after the bearish moves this past week and the "High" now printed, the CD move will be completed and the FTSE will ultimately go down to 3650
I had shorted the market as per my related ideas below, and i now have new entrys that you can see in the picture. (if you zoom in) - and also on other posts
I do expect this to drop fast - with EU issues and Covid vaccines driving it lower.
It will close on a bearish Pin Bar on the Weekly chart today.
In turn, I do expect GBP to get stronger and stronger - so don't short any GBP XXX pairs.
Stay safe and safe trading
Duncan
UK100 LONG BIAS Price in the short term is in a bearish decline, while the medium to long term trend is bullish. Price has declined to a key area of previous resistance and potentially support on the Daily timeframe. Based on price action I believe this could be a key area where price could reverse to test previous broken support. I don't expect price to hit this target till next week.

How to approach this trade idea:
- Add alerts at key break out areas
- Wait for the break out and trade the pull back
- Check the key Fibs matching S&R Areas
- Don't forget to gain a good R/R
- Add limit orders to break out areas, bit more of risky approach as you don't want be part of fake break out!
Go with what you have written on your trade plan overall.
It's FRIDAY....! On a Friday - I take day trades, review my journal and get ready for the week ahead. It hasn't been bad week very choppy markets we are in range bound areas in most assets apart from Crypto's great momentum towards down side I always say in life and in the markets - What goes up, comes down eventually. Now it doesn't mean you're going to become profitable trader and come down - NO! What I mean is, your performance isn't going to be straight line there will be days up and down and let be honest with you - I don't always trade everyday because I know when I want to be part of the market, be disciplined! It does depends on way you mange your portfolio.
Have a great weekend.
