The UK100 Price Plummeted After the Publication of InflationThe UK100 Price Plummeted After the Publication of Inflation Data Yesterday, the stock market in the United Kingdom experienced a sharp decline following the release of new inflation data. The UK100 price, reflecting the leading British stock index FTSE, dropped approximately 1.5%. Moreover, the RSI indicator on the 4-hour chart fell below the value of 18 for the first time since July 2023. Analysts attribute this decline to the published inflation data, which not only failed to meet economists' expectations but also indicated a possible strengthening of inflationary pressure in the country. CPI values: actual = 4.0%, expected = 3.8%, previous value = 3.9%. This raised concerns among investors regarding the Bank of England's future steps in managing interest rates and the potential slowdown in the country's economic growth. Sectors most sensitive to changes in interest rates, such as real estate and finance, showed the greatest decline. Significant decreases were also observed in the stocks of companies in the retail and consumer goods sectors, reflecting growing concerns about consumer confidence and spending. The UK100 chart shows that: → the price dropped to the lower boundary of the channel, indicated in blue; → market weakness could be inferred from the inability of the UK100 price to stay above the September maximum in December, as well as price action around the 7665 level, which switched roles from support to resistance. If new negative news emerges for the stock market, support from the lower boundary of the channel may be breached. In that case, it is not excluded that the UK100 stock index will decline to the level of 7300, which served as strong support throughout 2023.

Bearish Breakdown: FTSE 100 Inverse Cup & Handle FormationBody: The FTSE 100 index exhibits a compelling technical structure, presenting a potential bearish opportunity. An Inverse Cup & Handle pattern has formed, signaling downward pressure. This classical pattern is often indicative of a continuation in bearish momentum following a consolidation period that resembles a 'cup and handle' in reverse. Entry Point: The trade initiated at the 7529.3 level, a strategic entry post the pattern's confirmed breakdown. Stop Loss: A prudent stop loss is placed at 7583.8, positioned above the pattern's resistance to account for any potential upside volatility and false breakouts. Take Profit Targets: Take Profit 1: Set at 7477.1, likely derived from previous support levels or a desired risk-reward ratio. Take Profit 2: Further down at 7421.0, which may align with extended support zones or a Fibonacci level. Supporting Indicators: Volume patterns align with the bearish outlook, and the RSI oscillator's neutral read indicates there's still room for the price to move without hitting overbought or oversold levels. Rationale: The rationale behind this trade is grounded in classic technical pattern recognition. The Inverse Cup & Handle is a reliable pattern, hinting at a continuation of the prior downtrend. This bearish setup is further supported by the recent price action, which shows a break and retest of the pattern's support-turned-resistance level. Trade Management: This trade idea emphasizes the importance of risk management. Adjustments to the stop loss and take profit levels should be considered if the market environment changes or new information comes to light. Conclusion: Given the bearish pattern and confirmatory indicators, the FTSE 100 may be poised for a descent. As with all trades, this idea requires monitoring for adherence to the pattern's implications and adjustment based on real-time market developments.

This support is aligning with the 0.382 Fib and the 200 SMA The development on it is very important.

FTSE Retreats from Resistance ZoneNew Year Hangover for the FTSE After a strong festive period, the FTSE’s first week of trading in 2024 resembled something of a damp firework… Having rallied from the support zone in late October all the way to the resistance zone in mid-December (see chart below), the FTSE has stalled and in recent sessions started to retreat. We’ve seen the market reject resistance five times in less than a month – indicating that FTSE bulls are starting to take profits. It’s worth noting that the dominant market structure on the FTSE is a sideways range which has been in place since the summer. Until we see the market break and hold above the resistance, we can assume that the range will remain in play. FTSE 100 Daily Candle Chart Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results Lower Swing Highs Form on Hourly Candle Chart Examining the hourly candle chart reveals a bearish sequence of lower swing highs after the recent rejection of resistance. In the short term, the market has found tentative support, but a breach could trigger increased selling pressure. FTSE 100 Hourly Candle Chart Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results Sector Snapshot At the sector level, we have seen a ‘risk-off’ positioning emerge over the last seven sessions. Defensive sectors such as Healthcare, Utilities and Consumer Staples have been leading the market. While aggressive sectors linked to the anticipation of lower interest rates such as Materials, Consumer Discretionary and Real Estate have erased some of their December gains.

#FTSE100 Santa clause rally to continue? CAPITALCOM:UK100 index has demonstrated a substantial ascent, exhibiting a remarkable 6.5% increase from its October lows to the conclusion of the calendar year. This surge followed the emergence of a bullish divergence, further fortifying the positive sentiment surrounding the index. Notably, the recent breach of the wedge pattern suggests a potential continuation of this upward trajectory. Anticipating a retest of the 7650 level, I posit that the index is poised to sustain its positive momentum, buoyed by the prevailing bullish forces in the CAPITALCOM:US500 US equities market. This projection is underpinned by the conviction that the ongoing momentum in US equities will exert a continued uplifting effect on the UK100 index, thereby contributing to further gains.

FTSE 100 reaches seven month high on softer CPIThe FTSE 100 surged in early trading on Wednesday as the latest inflation figures showed consumer prices had risen less than expected in the last 12 months. Headline CPI came in at 3.9% year-over-year in November, the lowest level in two years. Analysts had been expecting the figure to drop to 4.3% from 4.6%. Core inflation also dropped more than expected to 5.1% from 5.7%. The softer data underpinned expectations for the Bank of England to start cutting rates sometime next year. Before the data and the FOMC’s surprise dovish tilt last week, markets were pricing in the first cut from the BoE sometime in the third quarter of 2024. As of Wednesday morning, the first full 25bps cut is priced in for May, but there are 13bps of easing priced in by March. By year-end, markets anticipate 134bps of easing, which would entail five 25bps cuts in 2024. This seems to contradict the messaging that came from the BoE in their meeting last week. The central bank failed to acknowledge rate cuts, going as far as to reiterate that further rate rises could be possible if needed. Markets failed to believe this, and the Federal Reserve is mostly to blame for that. Their unexpected dovish tilt opened the door for other central banks to welcome talk about easing, but neither the BoE nor the ECB took the bait. Regardless, markets see the Fed’s change in position as the turning point in monetary policy across central banks in developed economies, which means they expect the BoE to follow suit sooner or later. The BoE’s reluctance to show a dovish inclination at their meeting on Thursday last week weighed on UK stocks, especially those most sensitive to rates. The FTSE 100 shed over 1% as the central bank remained firm in its hawkish stance, but Wednesday’s softer CPI data has pushed the index to a seven-month high.
