FTSE 100, Consolidating, This Scenario Can Alter The Situation!Hello Traders Investors And Community,
Welcome to this analysis where we are looking at the FTSE 100 Index, what it is currently doing, the overall formation, the possibilities when certain confirmations occur, and how to handle upcoming changes. The FTSE is an index which has developed a longer consolidation period after its recovery approach from the corona breakdowns seen this year, the big question as it is also the same in other major indices is if this recovery can sustain further within a healthy unspeculative market environment or if there is more downside ahead especially when an increase in corona shows bearish downside action similarly to those mechanisms seen this year.
Looking at my chart you can watch there that the index is trading in a longer stretched descending parallel channel which is marked in red where it is consolidating slightly to the downside and already touched the upper and lower boundary several times, such formations tend to break out sooner or later and the longer such formations develop the heavier and more volatile the breakout will be. Technically speaking the consolidation can go on more time when there is no positive news event which is altering the situation immediately to the upside, furthermore, the wave count establishing supports this scenario where the final wave E can form over the next times while the upper boundary confirming bearish again this final wave is not far away and within the high possible range. When this happens and the final wave develops the index has some solid support at the Fibonacci-support seen in my chart which is the 50 % level of the whole wave up, this support is also matching with the lower boundary of the channel where a bounce can be given and expected. When the index bounces in this area it can move on to confirm the bull-flag which will activate targets way above the range but the importance is to show up with the confirmation.
This possible bull-flag breakout can confirm a healthy bullish edge but that does not mean the whole index is completely bullish as there are still strong resistance levels and the index is trading way below its all-time-high-condition, therefore we should not keep the bearish scenario fully by side here, the bull-flag can confirm bullishness on the short and long-term but that does not mean it will definitely go up into the long term as well, in this case the bull-flag can be traded on the long-side but it should be seen crucial when it is approaching resistances in the range above.
In this manner, thank you for watching the analysis, support for more market insight, and all the best!
