UK100 FTSEWhat is UK100? UK100, commonly known as the FTSE 100 Index or the Footsie, is the United Kingdom’s premier stock market index. It tracks the performance of the 100 largest and most highly capitalized blue-chip companies listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE). The index is capitalization-weighted, meaning companies with larger market caps have a greater influence on the index’s movements. As of March 2025, the FTSE 100 had a total market capitalization of approximately £2.12 trillion. The index includes many internationally focused companies, so its performance is influenced by global economic factors and currency exchange rates, not just the UK economy. Does Bond Yield Affect UK100? Yes, bond yields significantly affect the FTSE 100 in several ways: Rising UK government bond yields (gilts) increase borrowing costs for companies, which can reduce profits and weigh on stock prices, including those in the FTSE 100. Higher bond yields also make fixed-income investments more attractive relative to equities, potentially causing capital to flow out of stocks and into bonds, putting downward pressure on the index. Conversely, falling bond yields lower borrowing costs and often encourage investment in equities, supporting the FTSE 100. Bond yield movements are also influenced by monetary policy expectations, inflation outlook, and fiscal policy, which indirectly impact stock valuations. Recent volatility in German and UK bond yields has caused ripple effects in the FTSE 100, reflecting concerns about interest rates and economic outlook. Major Companies That Make Up UK100 (Selected Key Constituents) The FTSE 100 includes companies from various sectors such as banking, energy, healthcare, consumer goods, and industrials. Some of the largest and most influential companies by market capitalization as of 2025 include: Company Sector Approx. Market Cap (2025) AstraZeneca Healthcare £190+ billion Shell Energy £185+ billion HSBC Holdings Banking & Financials £130+ billion Unilever Consumer Goods £100+ billion Rio Tinto Mining & Materials £95+ billion BP Energy £85+ billion GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Healthcare £75+ billion Diageo Consumer Goods Large-cap Barclays Banking & Financials Large-cap British American Tobacco Consumer Goods Large-cap The FTSE 100 covers 20 industry sectors, with Banks, Health Care, Industrial Goods & Services, and Energy sectors making up about 50% of the index’s total capitalization. Summary What is UK100? The FTSE 100 Index, tracking the 100 largest UK-listed companies by market cap Bond Yield Impact Rising yields increase borrowing costs and attract capital to bonds, often pressuring stocks; falling yields support equities Key Companies AstraZeneca, Shell, HSBC, Unilever, Rio Tinto, BP, GSK, Diageo, Barclays, British American Tobacco In conclusion, the UK100 (FTSE 100) is a major UK stock market index heavily influenced by global economic factors, including bond yields. Movements in UK government bond yields affect corporate borrowing costs and investor asset allocation decisions, thereby impacting the FTSE 100’s price action. The index is dominated by large multinational companies across diverse sectors, making it a broad indicator of UK-listed blue-chip performance

FTSE100 INTRADAY bullish breakout supported at 8454The FTSE 100 is showing bullish momentum, supported by an ongoing uptrend. Recent price action suggests a breakout above a period of sideways consolidation, indicating strong buying interest. Key Support: 8454 – This was the previous consolidation zone and now acts as a critical level. If the index pulls back to 8454 and holds, it may resume the uptrend with potential upside targets at: 8650 (near-term resistance) 8730, then 8825 (longer-term targets) Bearish Scenario: A daily close below 8454 would weaken the bullish case and could lead to a decline toward: 8373 (next support) Then 8272 and possibly 8100 if selling pressure increases Conclusion: The FTSE 100 remains bullish above 8454. Watch for a bounce from this level to confirm further upside. A break below would shift the outlook to bearish in the short term.

PineScript v6: Conditional Expressions from Libraries I thought it appropriate to make some quick notes on calling conditional expressions from PineScript v6 libraries, seeing as I have recently updated all of my libraries to v6 and most of my function exports output booleans or values that are ultimately derived from other functions that output booleans. When calling functions in v6 that output booleans or values derived from other functions that output booleans, it is best practice to first declare the function return globally before you use said output as input for anything else. For example, instead of calling my swing low and uptrend functions (which both return booleans) as part of a broader conditional expression: //@version=6 indicator('Example Conditional Expression 1') import theEccentricTrader/PubLibSwing/3 as sw import theEccentricTrader/PubLibTrend/2 as tr uptrend = sw.sl() and tr.ut() plotshape(uptrend) I would first declare the function returns as global variables and then call the broader conditional expression using said variables: //@version=6 indicator('Example Conditional Expression 2') import theEccentricTrader/PubLibSwing/3 as sw import theEccentricTrader/PubLibTrend/2 as tr sl = sw.sl() ut = tr.ut() uptrend = sl and ut plotshape(uptrend) This demonstrates different behaviour from v5, where you could combine functions that output booleans in conditional expressions without error or warning. The same also applies to functions that output values derived from other functions that output booleans. In the example below, my swing low price and bar index functions output float and integer values, respectively, but these values are derived from the swing low function, which is a function that returns a boolean. So these return values should also be first declared globally for later use, just like the swing low and uptrend functions: //@version=6 indicator('Example Conditional Expression 3', overlay = true) import theEccentricTrader/PubLibSwing/3 as sw import theEccentricTrader/PubLibTrend/2 as tr sl = sw.sl() ut = tr.ut() slp_0 = sw.slp(0) slpbi_0 = sw.slpbi(0) slp_1 = sw.slp(1) slpbi_1 = sw.slpbi(1) if sl and ut line.new(slpbi_1, slp_1, slpbi_0, slp_0, color = color.green)

FTSE100 INTRADAY important resistance retestThe FTSE 100 Index remains in a bearish structure, with recent price action confirming a break below the prior consolidation zone, indicating potential for further downside. Key Resistance: 8380 – former support turned resistance, aligning with the intraday consolidation area. Support Levels: 8113 – near-term target if bearish momentum continues 7960 and 7850 – medium to long-term downside objectives An oversold bounce may occur, but unless price breaks and closes above 8380 on the daily chart, the bearish outlook remains intact. Conversely, a confirmed breakout above 8380 would invalidate the bearish bias and open the path to test 8455, with 8485 as a secondary resistance. Conclusion The FTSE bias is bearish below 8380. Watch for a rejection at that level to confirm downside continuation. A daily close above 8380 would shift the outlook to bullish.

FTSE Short-Term 5 Swing Pattern Favors Additional GainsThe FTSE index experienced a significant decline from its high on April 3, 2025, reaching a low of 7552.65. We identify this as the completion of wave II. This downturn followed a zigzag pattern, a common structure in Elliott Wave analysis. Starting from the April high, the decline unfolded in three phases: wave ((A)) dropped to 8481.1, wave ((B)) rebounded to 8742.75, and wave ((C)) fell further, structured as a five-wave impulse. Within wave ((C)), the sub-waves progressed as follows: wave (1) hit 8615.96, wave (2) recovered to 8717.03, wave (3) fell to 8023.45, wave (4) rose to 8123.27, and wave (5) concluded at 7547.69, finalizing wave ((C)) and wave II. Since hitting this low, the FTSE has begun to recover. The ongoing rally from the wave II low is unfolding in a five-wave upward pattern, suggesting potential for further gains. So far, wave 1 of this rally peaked at 8021.77, and wave 2 pulled back to 7599.56. We anticipate wave 3 to push higher soon, followed by a wave 4 pullback, and then a final wave 5 to complete wave (1) of the broader upward move. In the short term, as long as the 7547.69 low holds, any dips are likely to attract buyers at key levels (often referred to as 3, 7, or 11 swings in Elliott Wave terms), supporting further upside.

FTSE 100The FTSE 100, like its global peers, has been caught in the crosswinds of rising volatility over the past fortnight. Let’s break down the key levels to watch, the indicators helping to make sense of the current backdrop, and how the recent sell-off has played out beneath the surface at the sector level. Daily Timeframe: Shift in Momentum The sharp sell-off on Friday 4th April marked a clear turning point in the momentum dynamics for the FTSE 100. The index cut cleanly through its 200-day moving average, and the rebound that followed has been weak in comparison. The bounce recaptured less than half the ground lost, which tells us that dominant momentum on the daily chart now tilts firmly in favour of the bears. It’s worth anchoring a VWAP to the March highs. This gives us a running view of how short-term bullish momentum is faring relative to the longer-term downtrend—and helps frame any intraday strength in the broader context of a weakening trend. UK100 Daily Candle Chart Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results Sector Snapshot: Rotation to Safety There’s been a marked shift in sector leadership recently, with risk-on areas falling out of favour and defensives starting to find their feet. Energy, Healthcare and Materials have led the downside. These are typically sectors that perform when investors are in a more optimistic mood, so the move away from them hints at rising caution across the board. In contrast, Utilities, Consumer Staples and Real Estate have all shown resilience. As the outlook for rates softens and the broader environment becomes more risk-off, capital is rotating into more stable, yield-oriented sectors—suggesting investors are starting to prioritise defence over growth. 1 Month UK Sector Snapshot Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results Hourly Timeframe: Trading the Inflection Points Zooming in to the hourly chart, the previous week’s high and low stand out as key levels to work with. They now serve as clear reference points for support and resistance, helping to shape short-term swing setups. Market harmonics can also offer a useful guide here. Taking the low-to-high move from Wednesday’s recovery and projecting that from Thursday’s swing low creates a potential reversal area. This projection lines up with the anchored VWAP from the daily timeframe, giving us a neat confluence zone where a short-term reversal could take shape.
