FTSE100 And Price Action/ProbabilityThis chart is a clear display of how markets work in simple terms. The fact is, your job is to look for repetition. Repetition directly correlates to probability, as it is your bread and butter for understanding what is next, That is also, simply, the point of price action. So when something happens so many times.. Do not be surprised if it happens again. And do not bank everything on it just because it is 'probable'. Risk much be associated to the risk of the market setting and you must be prepared for a failure of any level with further risk plans.

FTSE 100 Trade Plan: Scenarios to ConsiderEarlier this month, we discussed subtle cues indicating the FTSE 100's readiness to break out. Fast forward three weeks, and the index has decisively broken free from its long-term range, surging over 150 points post the US Federal Reserve's reaffirmation of its rate-cut plans. FTSE 100 Daily Candle Chart Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results Where Next for the FTSE? To gain perspective post-breakout, let's zoom out to the weekly candle chart. Here, we can see that the FTSE just broken through the May 2018 highs – an area that was briefly surpassed in February last year which printed a new all-time high for the index. FTSE 100 Weekly Candle Chart Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results FTSE 100 Trade Plan: Scenarios to Consider Scenario 1: Swift Retest of All-Time Highs If last week's bullish momentum continues, the market may head directly towards the February 2023 all-time highs. This could present short-term buying opportunities but could also lead to overbought conditions, offering potential for swing traders to sell on a retest. Scenario 2: Sideways Consolidation Alternatively, if the FTSE consolidates near highs for several sessions, chances of sustaining a breakout increase. Here, swing traders could position within the consolidation pattern. Scenario 3: Deep Pullback Should the FTSE quickly retract last week's gains, a break below Friday's lows might prompt a swift retest of the broken trading range's top, likely offering support moving forward.

FTSE 100: In Focus on Inflation DataToday, the Bank of England will release key inflation data, and the British government will unveil industrial production figures, both crucial for the London index. While unfavorable inflation figures are anticipated, the British economy is showing financial resilience, propelling the index to 7,746.82 points following positive results from several companies since Wednesday, representing a 0.1% increase. In the corporate landscape, the construction company Persimmon (PSN) stands out with solid financial fundamentals, a large land bank, and high-quality finished products. This may facilitate the company's benefit as the home-buying cycle recovers in the coming years, despite last year's results remaining stable. In contrast, the insurance company Prudential (PRU) plummeted despite meeting 2023 objectives and believing it can achieve this year's goals. Its stock price halved, reaching 2012 levels, partly due to its high exposure to the Chinese real estate market. Luxury brand Burberry was also affected by the Chinese slowdown, as reflected in its stock following Gucci's announcement of a 20% decline in the Asian market in the first quarter of the year. From a technical perspective, the index faces a crucial test at the 7,787.79 point level. It has been testing the current zone since yesterday, and it remains to be seen if it can continue to climb towards February 2023 prices. Will it surpass this level and close the annual gap at 8,044.32 points? Currently, if the long-term direction is bullish, we could see an attempt to reach the previous price zone of 7970.57, although an accumulation zone is yet to be developed. Analyzing the RSI indicator suggests a slight overbought condition at 67.53%. The visible range volume profile shows a prominent double bell curve with a well-defined point of control at 7,685.50 points. These data could indicate a potential correction to the middle of the range that has been developing since November 2023, with its midpoint at 7,606 points.

FTSE making a sustainable rally after bullish break-out.This is an update to our analysis 3 months ago (December 18 2023, see chart below) where we called for a Resistance bullish break-out and buy on the next 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) contact: Even though the pull-back dipped some more, the index still followed our projection on a rough scale. The long-term pattern remains a Channel Up but due to some relative readjustments because of that longer dip, we have to revise our target a little lower to 8150. That represents a +10.40% rise from the dip's lower point but still a 1.382 Fibonacci test (8350) is possible but in our updated view it will take longer to achieve. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

Is the FTSE Finally Ready to Breakout?The FTSE 100 has been trading within a well-defined range for more than 8 months. This range has created some fantastic trading opportunities at the extremes of the range, buying reversal patterns at support and selling reversal patterns at resistance. However, just as ‘the trend is your friend until the bend in the end’, the range is your friend until it breaks with a bang! And we are seeing signs in the FTSE’s recent price action which may indicate that this index is getting ready to breakout… 1. The New Year sell-off didn’t make back to the bottom of the range. Instead, the market formed a higher swing low. 2. We have seen a series of higher swing lows form in recent weeks. 3. Price action during the last two weeks has seen the market consolidate just beneath resistance. FTSE 100: UK 100 Daily Candle Chart Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results Sector Snapshot At the sector level, the UK market has developed a distinctly bullish glow during the last seven sessions. Whilst the index itself has been treading water and consolidating, we have seen broad-based buying with the majority of the FTSE’s major sectors making gains of more than +1%. The sector strength along with subtle technical signs may not be enough to mark the FTSE out as a screaming buy, but they are enough for FTSE bears to pause for thought before simply selling at resistance.

Will this UK100 dip attract bulls?UK100GBP - 24h expiry Short term bias is mildly bullish. Although the bears are in control, the stalling negative momentum indicates a turnaround is possible. A lower correction is expected. We therefore, prefer to fade into the dip with a tight stop in anticipation of a move back higher. Further upside is expected although we prefer to buy into dips close to the 7640 level. We look to Buy at 7635 (stop at 7605) Our profit targets will be 7710 and 7735 Resistance: 7750 / 7880 / 7950 Support: 7640 / 7560 / 7500 Risk Disclaimer The trade ideas beyond this page are for informational purposes only and do not constitute investment advice or a solicitation to trade.
