FTSE 3rd straight green day after the bottom.FTSE 100 (UK100) is having perhaps the most convincing bottom formation out of all major global indices as despite the selling pressure evident on each day, it is (so far) today on the 3rd straight green 1D candle since Monday's Low.
That Low came just a few points from touching not only the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) but also the Higher Lows Zone (started on October 27 2023). At the same time, the Bearish Megaphone since its All Time High (ATH), displays striking similarities with the April - August 2023 pattern.
In fact, this week's Low seems to be similar with the August 18 2023 Low. That initiated a rebound that almost touched the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement level, before another correction. Even the 1D RSI patterns are similar among the two fractals.
As a result, we turn bullish again on FTSE here, targeting 8300 (just below the 0.786 Fib).

FTSE 100 just broke below May's lows - Big crash on the way?M Formation has been fomring on the FTSE 100 since May 2024.
We then had a major breakout just yesterday with the price going below 20MA.
The downtrend line (red) is in check and we can expect further downside to come.
Target will be around 7,591
England's Economic Crossroads and Banking ResilienceEngland’s economy is facing a complex array of challenges, driven by domestic social unrest, geopolitical tensions, and evolving labor dynamics. Recent riots, sparked by both marginalized Muslim communities and extreme right-wing groups, highlight deep-seated socio-economic issues. These tensions have been exacerbated by international events, such as the October 7, 2023, incident in Israel, which reverberated through England's Muslim community.
In addition to these social and geopolitical pressures, the economic indicators present a mixed picture. Inflation, unemployment, and a housing crisis have strained the economy, while regional conflicts, such as the Middle East and Russia-Ukraine wars, pose further risks to energy prices, trade, and security.
Amidst this backdrop, the Bank of England’s recent declaration that top UK lenders can be dismantled without taxpayer bailouts is a significant milestone. This statement reflects the progress made since the 2008 financial crisis in enhancing the resilience of the UK banking system through stricter capital requirements and resolvability assessments. However, emerging risks such as climate change, cyberattacks, and global financial interconnectedness require continuous vigilance and robust regulation.
Inspiration and Challenge:
As traders and investors, understanding the interplay between social dynamics, geopolitical tensions, and financial stability is crucial. England’s current economic state challenges us to think beyond traditional metrics and consider the broader implications of regional conflicts and social unrest on financial markets. The resilience of the UK banking system offers a glimmer of stability, but it also calls for ongoing scrutiny of emerging risks. Engage with this analysis to deepen your strategic insights and navigate the complexities of the global economic landscape.
FTSE 100 forms bullish signalThe FTSE is among a handful of major global indices signaling a rebound in the stock markets following this week's earlier selling pressure.
The UK benchmark index broke below a well-established support level around 8110 area on Thursday, before quickly recovering to rally into the close. The false breakdown marks a key reversal pattern and especially as the index ended up with a hammer candle on the daily chart, rising above the 21-day exponential moving average.
Today, the FTSE is rising above the trend line of its triangle continuation pattern to the upside. A close above it would be bullish. Yesterday's high at 8228 is now an important short-term support level that needs to hold.

UK100 Extends Consolidation on Murky Monetary Policy OutlookUK100 has pulled back following its May record peak and has entered consolidation mode, as uncertainty around BoE’s policy path has taken hold. Although policymakers have pointed to a less restrictive stance ahead, there is no clarity around the timing of a pivot. The last inflation print did not help, as market pared back bets for a cut in August, since CPI persisted at 2% and the services component remained sticky.
This sustains risk for a breach of the pivotal 38.2% Fibonacci of this year’s rally, which would bring the 200Day EMA (blue line) in the spotlight, although deeper weakness does not look easy.
The central bank has hinted at lower rates ahead, price pressures have moderated and the economy exited its brief recession. Furthermore, the new government could usher in a much needed period of stability, while the change in listing rules cam reinvigorate the IPO market and boost sentiment.
UK100 has already defended the 38.2% Fibonacci multiple times, containing the correction to levels that reaffirm the upside potential. Bulls have the ability to reclaim 8,369 and eventually push for new all-time highs (8,488).

$GBIRYY - CPI (YoY)ECONOMICS:GBIRYY 2.3% (April/2024)
source: Office for National Statistics
The annual inflation rate in the UK eased to 2.3% in April 2024,
the lowest since July 2021, compared to 3.2% in March and market forecasts of 2.1%.
The largest downward pressure came from falling gas (-37.5% vs -26.5% in March) and electricity (-21% vs -13%) cost, due to the lowering of the Office of Gas and Electricity Markets (Ofgem) energy price cap in April.
At the same time, prices slowed for food (2.9%, the lowest since November 2021 vs 4%) and recreation and culture (4.4% vs 5.3%).
On the other hand, the largest, partially offsetting, upward contribution came from cost of motor fuels.
The average price of petrol rose by 3.3 pence per litre between March and April 2024 to stand at 148.1 pence per litre, up from 145.8 pence per litre in April 2023. Prices also rose faster for restaurants and hotels (6% vs 5.8%) and miscellaneous goods and services (3.6% vs 3.4%).
Compared to the previous month, the CPI rose 0.3%.

UK100 FTSE100 - ABC Correction Uderway?Hello Guys,
The yearly Candle is slightly Bullish - but we did not see a break on a closing base of the crucial 7900 area -> ATH.
A Retest of this area would constitute a Bullish setup - which I would be happy to be part of after the last rallye.
Q2 Close - Doji -> might see a consolidation phase from here with a sideways to down mentality - considering the recent gains the bulls had.
The monthly Bias is Bearish. A Bearish Engulfing Pattern (Although a small one) has been formed. The Stochastic confirms a Bearish Bias - not totally contradicting the higher Timeframes! So Bulls be prepared for some drop… Just an idea from my side. A Double Top at 8400 would be a strong sign of Bears being back.
-> For the bulls 7900 has to hold - for the bears 8400.
Thats all for now…
Thanks for reading

FTSE on a 1-month correction. Is it over?Great display of compliance to technical dynamics by FTSE 100 (UK100) on our previous analysis (April 29, see chart below) as after hitting our 8350 Target it got rejected exactly at the top (Higher Highs trend-line) of the long-term +2 year Channel Up:
The corrective pattern broke yesterday below the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) for the first time since April 19, which technically opens the way for a test of the next Support level, the Higher Lows Zone.
As you can see, this Zone has been providing Support (and the most optimal buy entry) since the January 17 Low. As a result, as long as the 1D MA100 (green trend-line) is holding, we will buy the next Higher Lows contact and target 8350 (Lower Highs projection similar to February 07 2024 and October 17 2023).

FTSE 100 Index Declines After Labour Market NewsFTSE 100 Index Declines After Labour Market News
The British stock index FTSE 100 (UK 100 on FXOpen) dropped nearly 1% yesterday due to the release of economic data indicating a rise in unemployment.
According to ForexFactory:
→ The Claimant Count Change (number of unemployment benefit claims) was 50,000 (expected = 10.2k, previous month = 8.4k). This is the highest number since March 2021.
→ The unemployment rate slightly increased to 4.4% compared to the previous value of 4.3%.
However, today the FTSE 100 (UK 100 on FXOpen) chart is showing signs of recovery.
Fundamentally:
→ GDP news did not bring any unpleasant surprises;
→ Weakening in the labour market might prompt the Bank of England to lower the interest rate to stimulate the economy, which should support the stock index.
From a Technical Analysis Perspective of the FTSE 100 (UK 100 on FXOpen):
→ At the low of the decline, the price found support at the median line of the upward channel that has been in place since last autumn (shown in blue);
→ The median line is reinforced by the 50% Fibonacci retracement level from the bullish impulse A→B;
→ The price failed to consolidate below the late May low around the 8150 level, indicating a local capitulation of bears.
Bulls, on the other hand, might use these technical support factors to attempt to resume the upward trend within the blue channel. To do this, they will need to break the resistance of the trend line (shown in red).

What do you think of its next move?
FTSE 100 Can 2.5X versus the GBP In Dollar terms.
We have analysed the FTSE100 #UKX the GBPUSD and UK Housing on a big time frame scale before.
Here we have the FTSE 100 and the UK companies which have pricing power
versus #Sterling which we know is heading to sub $1
As we have expectations of the #GBPUSD to target 0.71 in a head and shoulders target close to a 50% drop from current levels!
British citizens are living in a inflationary nightmare.
A potential lifeboat is investing their way out.
NOT SAVING .. as saving in a ever worthless #Pound is only compounding your loss of purchasing power.
