6,000 a Huge Hurdle For the FTSEStock markets have been on a good run since late March, with the FTSE bouncing back around 20% from its lows to within a whisker of 6,000. The rally looked to be running out of steam around 5,800 but a late surge on Thursday, backed by momentum, quickly changed that. Unfortunately though, we've since seen a bearish engulfing pattern on the 4-hour chart which begs the question, is 6,000 a step too far? Is there really good reason to be this optimistic as we head into the most horrific earnings season in years, probably decades? The momentum indicators will be key for me here but a break would send a strong signal and suddenly 6,200 doesn't look too far away, where it found resistance last just over a month ago. The big level above here though is 6,500. That may be a step too far at this stage, although a lot of bad news seems to be priced in - based on the free pass the horrible data we're seeing is getting - and there is an unprecedented amount of stimulus floating around this system. The usual rules may not apply. Earnings season will be the true test of this. A break below the rising trend line (granted - only two touches, but useful none-the-less) may signal that some profit taking has kicked in and patience is needed. If so, that's fine, it's been an impressive rally under these extreme circumstances.

Dow Jones Intraday Short *HEAD & SHOULDERS*There is potential to get in on a short trade on Dow Jones at 23,500 level thanks to a very clear head and shoulders pattern forming on the 15 minute timeframe. I have circled the key points to the patterns and the 23,500 seems like good resistance with prior rejections occurring there. A short here and sell-off could see price reach the daily pivot level or lower. Be careful as there is high impact OPEC/Oil related discussions today that will likely move markets if anything shocking happens.

Where will the FTSE Index bottom, or has it already....We have just experienced the largest market sell-off in history, just few weeks ago it was difficult to see where price would find some support - especially when market circuit breakers where triggering left, right and centre. As we're in the midst of the largest global health/economic crisis for at least the past 100 years, its clear the aftermath ripples of COVID-19 will influence some aspect of our daily lives for a long time...At this point it looks like we are headed for The Great Depression 2.0. However, recently market sell-offs appear to have slowed down, as it looks like price has possibly found a little support. But in a general downtrend, its completely normal for market movement to slow down multiple times, even have a some small rallies to the upside before continuing to lower levels. The FTSE 100 seems to have found support at c.4,900 level, however if it doesn't hold above this level, then it's highly likely that we are headed towards the c.3,500 area - bringing us back to the bottom of the last financial crisis. If the market does play out in this way, then there will be some epic shorting opportunities ahead. In the meantime stay safe readers, and I would like to leave you with the below thoughts from our good friend, which summarises the good old days (pre COVID-19) perfectly..... "We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off" - Tyler Durden

FTSE100 - WILL LONG TERM THINKING WIN?We are currently seeing a 30-40% adjustment in the markets due tot the impact of Covid-19. After last week's crash, governments have announced economic relief bills of unprecedented sums of money that have turned the market bullish. Although such "rescue packages" are effective in the short-term, they cannot cover long-term economic damage that is expected to result from restrictions under Covid-19 and the oversupply in oil. Most countries in Europe, and the US have not yet seen the peak in cases and deaths as the corona-virus keeps infecting and killing. Governments are imposing tighter restrictions and Italy is considering moving to a "war-economy" that will shut around 70% of the economic activities. Although other European countries seem to have a less steeper increase in corona cases and deaths, it is very likely that most economies will need to shut down more and more over the next coming weeks. Many suggest that the US will become the new "epicenter" of the disease as the virus continues to develop. Some experts say that the virus may slow down in warmer weather, and future infection-waves may be inevitable. Now, let's back this up with some historical and chart analyses: > CCI wave end of Mar-20 similar strength as in Jul-02 and Sep-08. In the latter two instances, both where followed by a less powerful bearish market that despite the lack of strength pushed the market down further. The time frame between the two waves is from Jul-02 to Jan-03 (+/- 6.5mo) and Sep-08 to Feb-09 (+/- 5mo), averaging around 6 months. > The above is supported by: - applying the Elliot-wave theory on the downward trend in the index, which have been very applicable in the past recessions as the chart shows. In 2020, we have seen two downward impulse waves (A,C) and are currently in the second correction wave (D). Correction went back to 0.38Fib, whereas correcton D went a little over 0.38Fib and therefor may first continue upwards to 0.50Fib (c. 5850) or even 0.62Fib (c. 6100) before continuing with the last wave. - MACD suggest a strong bearish market that is not close to cut the base and move into a bullish market. > Assuming the Covid-19 crisis will lead the economy into recession with similar impact on the economy as the 2003 and 2008/9 down-cycles, the index will be falling towards or just below the 4000 points around June or July when the real impact of the Covid-19 restrictions will be felt in the economy. However, the bottom may be strongest in May when Europe at the end and the US at the start of the Covid-19 peak as panic kicks in, hospital capacity is reached and economies need to be shut down almost completely. Also, most analysts are focused on emerged economies but most companies on 1st world stock exchanges have significant economic and market exposure in emerging markets where healthcare, governing and economic systems are not as sound, and where the impact of the virus may not be controllable in any front. > The above is all subject to the developments of Covid-19, but also the lower oil price that is expected to remain low throughout April-20 as Saudi Arabia and Russia will not ramp down production to stabilize global prices. It will be interesting to continue monitoring all developments and see how the world reacts to a problem that we have never faced in modern times.

Taylor Wimpey TW *GOOD LONG TERM BUYING OPPORTUNITY*Taylor Wimpey Analysis. Currently trading at more than a 54% discount from the current yearly highs and price is sat around 109/110 support zone. This price level was the very bottom of the lows seen during the 2016 sell-off. They have a strong dividend yield history paying over 9% and before covid-19 came on to the scene, their company financials were looking good. Revenue increased by 10% last year and their cash in hand balance is over 600m. Interest rates have been cut further last week and this theoretically will help to boost new home sales when we pull through the current market climate. It also appears that the construction industry is still firing on all cylinders with site works continuing until further notice.

UK100As you can see, price has broken the downwards channel. Price is currently heading back down to retest the channel. One of two possible scenario's will take place; 1 - Price will break through, back down into the channel and continue downwards 2 - Price will reject the channel, thus reversing the current downtrend and will begin to make moves to the upside In this current market, anything can happen. We can only trade what we see and should never try guessing. I will wait for the retest and enter a position depending on how price reacts.
