Ftse100

Bears in control of the FTSE so longs are off the table.The Bears took control of the FTSE today. I'm a little perturbed of the exact driver but it seems to be a combination of Sterling strength after positive noises from the Brexit negotiating table and negative Trade War rhetoric. Either way this is not a place to buy and hold. We are likely to see decent bounces to the upside on the way down and I will take some intraday opportunities as I did today, but we are likely to first see 7500 and then a possibility of 7350 being visited. None of this is particularly concerning at this stage. Global growth is fairly resilient and the markets have been crying out for a genuine Throwback from upside moves.

FTSE Looks in dangerous teritory but what's the catalyst?Anyone following me will know how much I love to trade the FTSE 100 and just like all experienced trades I have a directional bias. My bias is long, I find trades to the upside much easier to spot and manage. Knowing this about myself helps give me an edge. It doesn't mean I am unable to spot a shorting opportunity however and the FTSE is looking more and more like a chart that is ready to sell. I see the 7630 area as integral to the FTSE's upside potential. I am happy that I took my profit last week and can now wait for the 7630 area to be taken or see if 7577 will give out and leave the Bears in control. If the Price Action does fail and the Bears step in, I will be looking for that move lower to create new buying opportunities. The big question is always about drivers. What will be the catalyst for a FTSE 100 sell of. More trade wars? North Korea? Russia? Turkey contagion or maybe even Greece with it's hangover from the Financial crisis again falling into problems. Today I wait, but beware down below. It certainly looks like technically, a storm is coming.

Great Price, Great trade. Profit taken!!It doesn't always work out with such preciseness from any projection, but I am really pleased that the FTSE 100 has played out to perfection. This is my take profit area and even though there may well be a little bit more room to the upside, we are in a minor down trend and I'd like to see that take another dip before I buy and Hold. Seller will likely come in to the market tomorrow. Incase they don't however, I will be on the sidelines watching it play out.

Buy the FTSE but only for a day or twoLooking for longs in the FTSE has been my mission for quite sometime. I am always really comfortable as the Market sells off, as I have the knowledge to let me know a new Buying opportunity exists. This now however is not the case on the FTSE. Price has blasted through levels it needed to hold to promote another climb to lofty heights. Now all we have is a small window of opportunity to buy but not hold. I will target the same trendline but rather than looking for it to hold I will look for this to be the end of the run. We need to keep in mind that any longs can only be initiated with buy signals. As for the level.... I like the price!

FTSE Still selling, but it's not time to be onboardThe FTSE 100 is still flushing out the over confidence of the Bull run. There's no doubt about it, The FTSE 100 has seen some amazing gains so far this year. Negative global aspects are playing out here now though and now issues in Turkey are taking centre stage. As with the North Korean situation and the trade wars, I am seeing this as a buying opportunity. The Market still has some way to fall, but anywhere in the areas I have marked will be a zone I will be looking for for Buy signals and another opportunity to go long. For now though, lets sit tight and let the market sell off

Ftse 100 7th AugThe FTSE opened with a gap to the upside this morning. Gap's most often do one of 2 things. Firstly we can get a gap and go which is indicative of an aggressively confident sentiment, of we gat a gap and fade which closes the gap leaving the question of direction somewhat in the balance. This morning's Gap and Go made buying into the market a tricky prospect as it surged to the upside with few opportunities to safely enter. This is a 15 minute chart which no where near shows us the whole picture. The longer term time frames are still slightly weighted to the downside and I suspect today's high if seen again this week, will be the last time we see it for a little while. Tomorrow I will be looking for the 7700 level to provide a short term up side opportunity which will eventually turn into a chance to sell and hold for a few days and into next week

FTSE 100 July 10thThe FTSE Still flirts with a breakout and this area may prove to be a decent selling opportunity. We are at or near the higher end of the range. The big thing here is WHY? We have seen the markets weaken off the back off specific incidence recently and it appears, so far at least, that those incidence do not exit today. I will be looking to see if initial weakness is bout up around the 7660 level. If we hold here we could end up with a morning of low volatility. The 7660 needs to be watched though, as a close beneath this level could make all the difference for a downside move.

FTSE 100 - Bullish 5-0The FTSE 100 is shaping up nicely on the 4h chart, I'm expecting this bullish 5-0 formation to complete within the next few weeks at the 50% retracement level. The measurements for a valid 5-0 pattern are detailed below. B: 1.13 - 1.618 C: 1.618 - 2.24 D: 0.50 We will be trading with a stop loss below the 0.618 retracement level at 7240. If we execute the trade, target is 7896. You guys know what to do... Like, comment and share! More analysis on the way.
