UK100 trade ideas
UK100UK100 was trading in strong bullish channel till the sellers took control from channel resistance and has given the massive sell rally. That sell rally break the ascending trendline.
Now the price is retesting the broken channel and broken support level with strong bearish divergence.
it seems like the sellers can attack again this bearish confluence.
If the sellers takes charge again, the next target could be 7400.

UK100: Continuation watchToday's focus: UK100 Index
Pattern – Continuation Pattern
Support – 7629 - 7588
Resistance – 7720, 7916
Thanks for checking out today's update. Today, we have run over UK100, breaking down the overall price picture, levels, and patterns and incorporating moving average and RSI into the analysis.
The primary focus of today's look at the UK100 is the current uptrend, forming a new higher low in today's session. This continues to push the case for a new leg high from buyers. Resistance at 7720 is the first big test, and if we can see a new move up, this level needs to be cleared to break the current range.
If today's fightback from 7629 support fails, we could see a move that may try to retest the range base. We will be watching Price and mainly Buyers over the next several sessions to see if we get a breakout.
Good trading.

21 September 2023 - UK100 sell trade reattempt post BOE ratesI got stopped on my earlier UK100 sell.
But I believe BOE's rates decision has printed a larger trap to trigger the same sell idea.
Hence, I am re-entering the trade.

FTSE is the happiest place to be long?With the PBOC sticking to expectations and maintaining its Loan Prime Rates (LPR), commodity-related currencies experienced little volatility during the Asian session.
Instead, the majority of the action was focused on GBP after the UK released its August CPI figures. Both headline and core CPI came in lower than expected, supporting the Bank of England's (BOE) less hawkish path.
GBP fell against its major counterparts but has since recovered, particularly against the USD, JPY, CHF, and EUR.
This opens the door for the FTSE to rise. For longs, I look at the 7700 area as a breakout retest.
UK Stock Market Rises amid Inflation News According to data published this morning for August from the UK Office for National Statistics, the CPI index amounted to 6.7% in annual terms (expected 7.0%, value a month ago = 6.8%).
That is, the data shows that although inflation remains high (above other G7 countries), the trend points to a slowdown. This is the 6th CPI value in a row that has either decreased or remained the same.
However, there is still a long way to go before reaching the target values (a value of about 2% is considered normal).
Here’s how markets reacted to inflation news:
→ depreciation of the GBP/USD exchange rate to another September low. The rate approached an important low at the end of May;
→ growth of the UK FTSE stock index (the 4-hour chart of which is presented for analysis).
Bullish arguments:
→ news about declining inflation will help the bulls gain a foothold above the psychological level of 7,700
→ the price is within the ascending channel (shown in blue). A confident return of the price to its upper half will indicate the strength of demand.
Bearish arguments:
→ Level 7,700 still offers resistance. At the end of July, the bears won a landslide victory here.
→ Exceeding the July high may be just a false breakout. It is possible that after the initial positive reaction to lower inflation, market consensus will indicate that the fair price for the FTSE (UK100) index is still below 7,700. This will be similar to how the stock index of 50 European shares reacted to the ECB decision last week (quick exhaustion of bullish momentum followed by bearish momentum).
Be prepared for a surge in volatility today at 21:00 GMT+3 amid the publication of news from the Federal Reserve.

FTSE 100 Technical OutlookFTSE 100 Technical Outlook
In prior technical outlooks, we highlighted the importance of staying alert in sleepy markets, and last Thursday’s developments on the FTSE 100 serve as a prime illustration of this principle.
Having spent the first half of the week coiled and consolidating, the FTSE burst into life on Thursday – breaking and closing above multiple levels of resistance and posting its biggest day of gains since March.
Thursday’s rally was fuelled by the European Central Bank (ECB) confirming the end of its rate hike cycle. This fed into a surge in commodity prices which propelled the FTSE 100 higher as the index is heavily weighted towards energy and mining stocks.
The rally brought the FTSE back to the levels it had reached during the summer swing highs—an area we had previously pointed out as a zone of resistance (refer to the chart below). On Friday, market participants reacted to this resistance by closing out positions in anticipation of the weekend.
It's important to highlight that even though the FTSE has started the new week with a somewhat subdued performance, the prevailing short-term momentum remains bullish, thanks to the gains seen on Thursday.
