Ftse100
EURO CURRENCY INDEX (EXY) 4-HOUR TIMEFRAME SHORTThe Euro currency index has been moving in a series of lower highs and lower lows following the unsuccessful European Union parliamentary elections and also all the clouds surrounding Mrs. T. May. A break above the 112 price level will invalidate this idea.
Short-sellers can target the 110.5 area, which is the bottom of the descending channel, as a potential profit-taking level.
FTSE100 - SHORT TERM SHORT - MEASURED MOVEThe FTSE100 appears as though it is forming a simple bearish flag formation. I would be a little cautious on looking at this as a Head and Shoulders formation, however it does look like we could be forming that as well. (leave a comment below letting me know what you think)
The move to the downside would be a measured move from the first leg down which was approx. 38 points.

CPG long It has been a while since I posted one of my plans for the week ahead and I've missed the process, this week I would like to share my Compass Group (CPG) set up which I think is a great long. Compass posted strong half year earnings on the 15th of May which was well received by the market sending the stock up to an area that has played a role as resistance in the past, 1820. The price tested this area in April of this year and was unable to break through since then we have seen the stock go through some weakness to bounce back to then level on the strong earnings report. Last week's candle saw the formation of a doji where the market is making it's mind up about the 1820 where we will either fall away or break through and see new all time highs which is always a good time to trade a stock as it will be on a lot of peoples watch lists. The moving averages I use mainly 200/50 SMA and 7 EMA are all leaning upwards supporting the idea that the stock is in an uptrend and buyers should have control.
The plan for this one is to, set a stop order at 1821 as we haven't seen a full break yet so the level still holds good meaning we can get a tight entry to it without there being too much overhead resistance. I have my stop loss set at 1789 which clears most of the lows from last week easily giving the stock enough room should it fail to break out at the open but still tight enough to get a 1% account loss set which is vital for risk management. My target for this set up is a 5/1 RR giving me 1986 however, I will trim the potion by at third at the whole numbers of 1850 and 1900 making the psychological burden of holding a bit easier. I hope you have enjoyed this analysis and if there is anything you see differently feel free to comment. Thank you!

Elliott Wave View: Short Term Support in FTSEShort term Elliott Wave view in FTSE calls the move lower to 7150.9 on May 13 as wave A. This suggests that the move lower from April 23 is unfolding as a zigzag Elliott Wave structure. Wave B bounce is currently in progress to correct cycle from April 23 high before the Index turns lower. Internal of wave B is unfolding as another zigzag Elliott Wave structure in lesser degree.
Up from 7150.9, wave ((a)) ended at 7360.34 and wave ((b)) ended at 7267.84. Wave ((a)) unfolded as 5 waves where wave (i) ended at 7264.18 and wave (ii) ended at 7223.08. Index then resumes higher in wave (iii) which ended at 7353.51, wave (iv) ended at 7307.33. and wave (v) of ((a)) ended at 7360.34. While short term dips stay above 7269.33, expect Index to extend higher. Potential target for wave ((c)) of B comes at 100% – 123.6% extension of ((a)) which is 7477.9-7527.39. Index also should not break above May 13 at 7528.93 or else it will open further upside. If Index instead breaks below 7267.84, then either wave ((b)) is unfolding as an expanded Flat structure or wave ((c)) of B truncates and Index has turned lower.
FTSE 100 Finding Further WeaknessLast post: May 7th 2019. See chart .
Review: Price was showing short-term weakness and was at the daily 50 simple moving average .
Update: Since then price has shown further weakness and is approaching a strong monthly support level.
Conclusion: We need to see how price reacts to this support level. A break through support and we may see further weakness. A bounce off support and price may resume the uptrend.

FTSE 100: Approaching a short term support. Potential bounce.FTSE 100 is close to complete the -5.30% decline after being rejected on the Lower High of the 1W Channel Down (RSI = 49.506, Highs/Lows = 0.0000). The Golden Cross (MA50 over MA200) on 1D was the signal both on the Lower High and the one on the late May 2018 All Time High. 1D is fully bearish (RSI = 33.998, MACD = -8.850, Highs/Lows = -159.7305) even oversold on the stochastic trade action, meaning that a relief rally should follow. With MA200 supporting we are targeting 7,400.

FTSE comparison with 2015The shape of the FTSE100 chart in 2018 bear similarities with that of 2015. The top is more rounded than SPX. The turmoil over the forthcoming Brexit execution on Mar 29, 2019 makes this a less attractive market than other non-US indices. Note that the fractal predicts a low of 3896, almost exactly 50% down from the top. This compares well with the 53% drop in 2001-03 and the 51% drop in 2007-09. This is all dependent on a bear market developing globally. FTSE is behind the curve on this, probably buoyed up by weak GBP. But GBP is also behind the curve on rate hikes.
If a bear market does develop, traders need to know the 'shape' of it, ie where the rallies will reach for short entry.

Uk100 FTSE Short Opportunity - 4 : 1 Reward vs Risk Hello All
Following watching trades from last week start to play out, I am expecting the FTSE 100 to follow lower in the coming days.
This is based on it reaching a key level of resistance which I expect will result certainly in a short term correction. - We are still in a bullish overall trend at present though.
I am expecting to see a bearish engulfing candle at resistance on the 4hr chart then maybe a double top resulting in a lower high.
Thanks for reading

Elliott Wave View: Further Strength in FTSEElliott Wave view on FTSE calls the rally from February 28, 2019 low (7041) as an impulse Elliott Wave structure. An impulse is a 5 waves structure with wave 1, 3, and 5 all subdivide in 5 waves of lesser degree. Up from 7041 low, wave 1 ended at 7370.6 and wave 2 ended at 7146.29 and Wave 3 ended at 7477 peak. Up from 7146.29, wave ((i)) ended at 7222.64, wave ((ii)) pullback ended at 7160.14. Index resumes rally in wave ((iii)) at 7461.39, and wave ((iv)) ended at 7420.41 and wave ((v)) of wave 3 ended at 7477.
Index should now pullback in wave 4 before the rally resumes in wave 5. Wave 4 should correct wave 3 rally from 7146.29 low. We don’t like selling the Index and expect buyers to appear to buy dips in 3, 7, or 11 swing as far as pivot at 7146.29 low stays intact.
View On FTSE UK stock index (The uptrend is still in tact)View On FTSE (5 Apr 2019)
Back Ground: We are in the strong impulsive move up and it may not last. We shall see some sort of pullback along the way. BUT it is not going to be a strong downtrend to me. In fact, any pullback to the support will be a good time to buy in.
Target(s): UP 7,480(TP1) 7,560 (TP2)
SHTF: It will use 7,000 as strong support.

III (3i group) long
Following a weekend stroll through the UK stocks that I watch III came to my attention, the stock has a solid base after a move up and has been struggling to break 965 since July 2017. Around May 2018 the stock did have a huge burst through the level but wasn’t able to maintain it for very long until the support broke it became resistance again. Since then the stock has fallen from the level multiple times without a successful break, so far this year III has performed very well and that has brought it back to the 965 level where the price began to consolidate. This level obviously holds massive selling pressure, but like a blocked tap the pressure to break through is mounting. I feel as though this set up has massive potential and a break of 965 could see us go through a sustained move higher. The plan with this stock is to play for a break of 965 using the high of a previous attempt to break through as entry, when the price breaks through I will use the PLOD as a stop loss. I will buy the stock in 3 separate positions so that I can trim on the way up to leave one position free to run and collect dividends if they’re available. I will trim the position at 980 and 990 which provide obvious areas of resistance both as large round numbers and from previous price action.
Thanks

BT shortSimilar to my last post BT has been having a horrible time and has been on a continuous slide since 2016, unfortunately for BT it seems as though they could be about to start another move down through the 213 level. Again similar to BA. we have a gap down which has been followed up by further weakness and then some consolidation at a level in this case support is 213. The last two trading days in BT have seen dojis with very little movement between their open and closes this is reflected by the 18.7% negative difference in the 10 day average volume vs the 3 month average indicating a period of calm while we decide where to go next. My entry stop will be at 212.99 on this set up with the stop loss at the high day previous to the break out candle when 213 goes. The next major support should be found at the round number for 210 where a third of the position will be trimmed as always leaving 2 thirds running to be decided after. Please let me know if you see this situation differently and message me with your views.

BAE (BA.) short One name that I think looks really attractive or scary depending on the way you look at it is BA., this defence giant since posting a new high in July 2018 has embarked on a decent steep enough to give the most ardent roller coaster enthusiast week knees. After the massive move down the stock finally found some support at 450 before a brief bounce and is now making its way back to that level but is taking a breather around 460 which is where we find ourselves today. I really like this set up, after a gap down the price has been moving sideways before we decide where were going next this is shown by the 10 day average volume being 19% below the 3 month average suggesting to me that people are waiting to see how this area plays out. My plan is to play for a break of the 461 level with my stop entry being set at 458.9 just past the low of the previous attempt at the level. the next major support should be found at 450 where I will trim a 3rd of my position. Past that 440 will be the next trim which will leave 1 third of my original position left to run freely using a weekly high trailing stop after the move down. I hope you enjoyed this post, if you share my views be sure to get in touch or if you have an other UK stocks you think are worth looking into ill be more than happy to chat to you about them. Happy trading.
