UK100 trade ideas

Made in England.. FTSE 100 Triangle BreakoutFinally the long term triangle pattern in blue chip UK stocks has broken - and the weekly chart for the FTSE 100 index is looking very positive. The breakout weekly candle is a long one with a close right near the highs - showing bulls are well in control of the market. We can see the triangle break in more granular detail on the daily chart with the break confirmed on Thursday and a strong follow-through move on Friday. Support is found first at the former all time high (8450-8475) then back at the broken trendline from the triangle pattern. These support levels define our risk - the price back inside the triangle will inform us the breakout has failed - this time at least. But if things move as we expect, using the height of the triangle pattern as a price objective from the breakout point, the UK 100 could reach 9,000. But - as always - that’s just how the team and I are seeing things, what do you think? Share your ideas with us - OR - send us a request! Comments welcome :) cheers!

FTSE BEAR AGAIN for free in 2025I have already sent out this Analysis on #FTSE previously so if you want to check out where target 2 is you should check those ideas out. Plus you can squeeze the chart down here so you can locate the Target structure... & entry for the for the BULL trade ... but now there is a viable short again... This could go much lower as detailed in a previous idea. Lets go #FTSE and yes it was a close call on the last #BEAR idea which was again correct but closed it for perspective on stops... (as you will see) even though we are clearly still in play for still the lower TP 3.

UKX - 8 months SYMMETRICAL TRIANGLE══════════════════════════════ Since 2014, my markets approach is to spot trading opportunities based solely on the development of CLASSICAL CHART PATTERNS 🤝Let’s learn and grow together 🤝 ══════════════════════════════ Hello Traders ✌ After a careful consideration I came to the conclusion that: - it is crucial to be quick in alerting you with all the opportunities I spot and often I don't post a good pattern because I don't have the opportunity to write down a proper didactical comment; - since my parameters to identify a Classical Pattern and its scenario are very well defined, many of my comments were and would be redundant; - the information that I think is important is very simple and can easily be understood just by looking at charts; For these reasons and hoping to give you a better help, I decided to write comments only when something very specific or interesting shows up, otherwise all the information is shown on the chart. Thank you all for your support 🔎🔎🔎 ALWAYS REMEMBER "A pattern IS NOT a Pattern until the breakout is completed. Before that moment it is just a bunch of colorful candlesticks on a chart of your watchlist" ═════════════════════════════ ⚠ DISCLAIMER ⚠ Breakout Area, Target, Levels, each line drawn on this chart and any other content represent just The Art Of Charting’s personal opinion and it is posted purely for educational purposes.

UK 100 1. Positive Economic Data in the UK Recently, there have been signs of resilience in the UK economy, with some key data points supporting the bullish trend. For example: GDP Growth: The UK economy showed some signs of growth after initial post-Brexit slowdown. Even though growth has been slow, there's been recent evidence of recovery in sectors like services and manufacturing. Employment Figures: Unemployment in the UK has remained relatively low compared to other regions, which signals economic stability. Retail Sales & Consumer Confidence: Positive retail sales figures and a return of consumer confidence could support the broader market, especially with large consumer-facing companies in the FTSE 100. 2. Strong Corporate Earnings Many companies listed on the FTSE 100 are seeing strong earnings reports, particularly in sectors like energy, banking, and commodities. Energy Prices: As global energy prices remain elevated (e.g., oil and gas), companies in these sectors like BP, Shell, and other energy giants are benefiting, which is boosting the overall index. Banking Sector: UK banks like HSBC and Barclays have posted solid profits, benefiting from rising interest rates and increased lending activity, further bolstering the FTSE 100. 3. Global Market Trends A strong global market environment, particularly in the U.S. and other European markets, often has a positive effect on the UK market. Global equities have been performing well, supported by: U.S. Stock Market: If the S&P 500 or NASDAQ performs well, international investors often seek out UK equities as a way to diversify. European Stability: Stabilization in the EU economy or favorable trade deals with major partners can lead to more optimism in the UK, considering its trade relationships with the continent. 4. Monetary Policy in the UK Bank of England's Rate Decisions: The Bank of England has recently been cautious with interest rate hikes, and although interest rates are higher, there's a possibility of a more dovish policy if inflation starts to cool. A stable interest rate environment or even a pivot toward easing would help stocks thrive as borrowing costs decline. 5. Weakness in the British Pound (GBP) Currency Impact: The FTSE 100 is heavily weighted toward multinational companies that earn a significant portion of their revenue abroad. When the British pound weakens, these companies’ profits from overseas sales become more valuable when converted back to GBP. This tends to lift the FTSE 100, as investors look to benefit from stronger earnings in USD or other foreign currencies. 6. Geopolitical Stability Post-Brexit Sentiment: While Brexit has had long-term challenges, there is now more clarity around the UK's trading relationship with the EU and the rest of the world. The sense of stability around the UK’s position globally can contribute to stronger investor confidence. Global Geopolitical Environment: Stability in key geopolitical areas (for example, easing trade tensions or a more stable political climate in the U.S. and Europe) can have a positive spillover effect on markets worldwide, including the UK. 7. Sector-Specific Strength Energy and Commodities: Companies in the energy sector like BP, Shell, and mining companies such as Rio Tinto have been experiencing strong performance due to higher oil, gas, and commodity prices. Financial Sector: Strong earnings from UK banks, partly due to interest rate rises and a robust global financial environment, provide positive momentum for the FTSE 100. Tech & Consumer Staples: While technology and consumer staples represent a smaller portion of the index, large firms like Unilever have been performing well, contributing positively to the broader market. 8. Market Sentiment Optimism about Post-COVID Recovery: Even though the COVID-19 pandemic is less of a daily concern, the UK economy has been recovering from the effects of lockdowns. Optimism regarding long-term recovery and new economic policies can encourage investment in equities. Investor Confidence: Strong market sentiment, driven by easing recession fears and hopes for continued economic stability, often triggers a rally in major indices like the FTSE 100.

FTSE 100 Index May Reach 8500FTSE 100 Index May Reach 8500 As shown on the chart of the UK stock index FTSE 100 (UK 100 on FXOpen): → It has risen by over 3% in three days; → It is near the record high set in May last year and may reach the psychological level of 8500 points. Bullish sentiment has been supported by yesterday's news of GDP recovery – according to media reports, the economy grew by 0.1% in November 2024 (compared to a previous decline of 0.1%), primarily driven by the dominant services sector. Technical analysis of the FTSE 100 (UK 100 on FXOpen) chart shows that since mid-2024, the index has predominantly fluctuated within the 8000–8400 range, only briefly moving beyond it, which was accompanied by spikes in the RSI indicator. The current RSI level indicates strong overbought conditions, making the FTSE 100 (UK 100 on FXOpen) vulnerable to a pullback. Should this occur, it will provide important insights into the strength of demand. This could be assessed by the index’s ability to remain above the 8333 support level and the lower boundary of the ascending channel (marked in blue). Potential challenges for bulls are highlighted by MT Newswires, which report that analysts forecast higher inflation and weaker growth in 2025, amid expectations of a significant rise in labour costs.

4-hr UK100: 150 Points Target for a Long Position A couple of weeks ago, the UK's leading stock market index, the FTSE100, dropped to a low of 8000, forming a Double Bottom—a classic reversal pattern. Since then, the index has surged by over 320 points, signaling that buyers may have regained control. This is further supported by the emergence of a Golden Cross pattern, which underscores the strength of the new upward momentum. However, the inability of major US indices to recover and the slight pullback in the German DAX40 suggest the UK100 may also face a correction. Despite these concerns, the broader uptrend and bullish momentum appear intact, as the RSI indicates no overbought conditions. However, caution is warranted, and entering long trades after a minor pullback would provide a more favorable risk-to-reward setup. Immediate support lies at 8250, aligned with the 23% Fibonacci retracement. A retest of this level—or slightly below—would be an ideal entry point, with a target set at the previous swing high near 8400.

4-hr UK100: A Potential for 200 points RiseLike its US and German counterparts, the UK100 saw a decline starting in mid-December, dropping 400 points before finding support. Over the past few weeks, the index has rebounded by more than 200 points, signaling buyers have regained control. The strong upward momentum is further confirmed by a Golden Cross, a classic buy signal. However, since Friday, the FTSE has pulled back slightly, dropping 80 points to retest immediate support at the 23% Fibonacci retracement. In the short term, this decline could extend further, potentially reaching 8,160, which aligns with the critical 38.2% Fibonacci level. If the price holds above this level, it would strongly suggest that the index has established solid support in this zone. In such a scenario, we favor entering a buy position, targeting 8,400. This target aligns with the broader upward trend and offers a strong risk-to-reward setup for traders anticipating continued bullish momentum in the UK100 index.
