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

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.

FTSE100 - UKX - WHERE TO NEXT?FTSE100 UKX - Range Bound - WHERE TO NEXT?
Technical View:
Resistance: 6782.5, 6823.0, 6900.5
Support: 6677.7, 6627.6, 6610.9, 6535.8 (200EMA)
Pattern: Multiple formation Bull Flag / Triangle Formation
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.

FTSE testing at critical junstionBreak of the uptrend line was strong with a good impulsive candle. Now at critical support near 6600 level. 200SMA is also at support. An impulsive break lower could signal momentum to get us to 6500 target.
Risk-off this morning across the board. Some of it on news as China's surging COVID-19 cases trigger clampdowns.
Good Luck and Stay Healthy!
FTSE Has Completed RetraceThis has retraced as expected to previous resistance and 0.5 Fibonacci. I will be waiting to see how this develops before entering a long as this could drop further, watch for the EMA's to cross back over or come very close to. If the price does hold this level then a target TP can be 7031.
FTSE to rise or fall due to brexit?With in a 52wk range there has been a high of 4,993,89-7,585,98 on index value. with it on a negative slope, working out if it will fall below the index value of 6400,0 as of previous events brings me uncertainty. With the average constituent size of 15,010 and the highest being of 109,418. Buy or sell ???
GBPJPY ShortI have a sell bias on GBPJPY. Lower lows & lower highs. Price formed a double top M formation followed by an impulse move to the downside breaking the neckline. Looking for price to return to the neckline before the proper move to the downside. Wait for a pullback to get an exact entry on the lower timeframes.
FTSE100 looking good for usAfter a bit of a tumble in late October of last year (or a huge dive, depending on who you ask), we remain in impulse on the index. We are about to go into Wave 5 of this impulse and looking to meet a goal in the first half of 7k. Fib time gives some indication when this might happen roughly, although it is impossible to accurately time the market. Good luck, traders!
FTSE testing important levelA falling channel on a 4-hour timeframe is soon to approach the support zone. A potential retest of the uptrend line and 200SMA make it a strong level.
Can trade the bounce here looking for reverse patterns on a smaller timeframe. A break lower is possible but requires significant selling pressure and some 'more' bad news regarding the pandemic.
Please support the idea and share your thoughts on FTSE!
Good Luck and Stay Healthy!
FTSE100 - UKX - Potential short! FTSE100 (UKX) - Technical View:
Simple explanation today -
Pattern wise: Came out of a larger triangle formation towards downside support areas.
At this current moment of time - It is within the range of: Support: 6785 Resistance: 6830
Once broken out of the range below support levels which matches the 200 EMA as a great support area measuring the wedge range formed. If we break towards downside, I expect it to continue towards Fib Retracement area of: 1.618 which matches a nice support area as well as nice trend-line support too!
The way you could play this trade: WAIT for it to break out of the smaller formation of the wedge formed and take the pull back trade to the next support areas or simply feeling more confident add a limit order!
Remember: Follow your own trade plan and execute wisely.
Have a prosperous day ahead,

FTSE and all Stocks - Don't BUY!!!! - They will plummetHello all
DuncanForex here with a trade idea - 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.
Don't be fooled by this Bullish move that occurred this week, the price is right in the middle of the 61.8% and 78.6% zone, it will consolidate again and i still think based on my analysis, the CD move will be completed and the FTSE will ultimately go down to 3500 area.
Price is about to touch dynamic resistance shown by the blue diagonal line which shows the long term uptrend broken at the start of the year, price is now pulling back up to this zone to then head down again.
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)
I do expect a bit of sideways movement, also some stop hunting, however my analysis for me suggests all stocks are going to plummet very soon. and this is my view for the next few years.
Stay safe and safe trading
Duncan
