UK100GBP trade ideas

FTSE 100 Can 2.5X versus the GBP In Dollar terms. We have analysed the FTSE100 #UKX the GBPUSD and UK Housing on a big time frame scale before. Here we have the FTSE 100 and the UK companies which have pricing power versus #Sterling which we know is heading to sub $1 As we have expectations of the #GBPUSD to target 0.71 in a head and shoulders target close to a 50% drop from current levels! British citizens are living in a inflationary nightmare. A potential lifeboat is investing their way out. NOT SAVING .. as saving in a ever worthless #Pound is only compounding your loss of purchasing power.

Bank Of England Expected To Hold Rates At 16-Year HighThe Bank of England announces its latest interest rate decision on May 9th. While the central bank is not expected to alter interest rates, investors will be focusing on two key questions that they hope the accompanying report and press conference will answer: • When will interest rates start to fall in 2024? • Where does the Bank see inflation going this year? March saw a notable dovish shift from the BoE, hinting at a potential future cut. This marked the first time in the current cycle that no members of the Monetary Policy Committee voted for a hike. In March, Bailey said it was reasonable for investors to bet on rate cuts this year. The critical question is when the central bank will start cutting rates. Market pricing suggests August, and the OECD report predicts the third quarter will be the most likely period, with rates expected at 3.75% by the end of 2025. The UK now has to get up to speed with the changed expectations for interest rates, which can be summed up as higher for longer. Until recently, the Federal Reserve was expected to take the lead and cut interest rates this spring, with other central banks to follow. However, the Fed is now signaling that rate cuts are not on the horizon, and it ruled out a rate hike at its meeting on May 1st. The European Central Bank could be the first to cut rates at its June meeting as inflation continues to fall in the eurozone. The UK inflation picture is better than that of the US, but not by much. It is still witnessing some of the "stickiness" in inflation that has troubled Fed policymakers. However, UK inflation at 3.2% is still below that of the US, where the latest CPI reading was 3.5%. As the OECD pointed out this week, the UK economy is weaker than the US, so monetary easing could be less problematic and help stimulate parts of the economy. Investors have been building up bets against the pound as conviction grows that the Bank of England will start cutting interest rates by the summer, ahead of its US counterpart Speculation amongst currency traders regarding a fall in the sterling has reached a 16-month high, data from the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission shows. Meanwhile, according to State Street, one of the world's largest custodian banks, asset managers have turned significantly bearish on the pound since March last year.

TRADE IDEA: Sell FTSE 100 IndexPrice at time of publication: 8380. The index is in a high bullish momentum phase, while trading in an overbought range. Traders should consider this a short to medium term countertrend trade idea where the reward-to-risk is starting to favour sellers. My preference is horizontal trend lines however, it may be worthwhile recognizing the diagonal channels, where the upper boundary could soon act as a short-term resistance range. These are the key technical drivers: (1) The price is overextended vs medium term moving averages; (2) Current Short Term Technical Rating: Overbought; (3) Current Medium Term Technical Rating: Overbought; (4) The steep price trend is at risk of correcting, further supporting the potential for a countertrend sell. As always, traders could consider the following if/when the share approaches the target: bank/take profit, partially scale out, adjust the stop-loss to protect profits. Time Stop: Thursday, 08 August 2024. TRADING LEVELS: Entry: above 8430 Target: 8180 Stop-loss: 8545

UK100 Analysis: Stock Market Optimistic Ahead of Bank of EnglandUK100 Analysis: Stock Market Optimistic Ahead of Bank of England News On Monday, the UK observed a bank holiday for May Day, and on Tuesday, the stock market demonstrated accumulated optimism. The FTSE index (UK100) today surpassed the 8300 mark. Additionally: → The opening occurred with a bullish gap; → On the daily chart of UK100, today the RSI indicator is in overbought territory, unseen since the beginning of 2023. One of the significant drivers of bullish sentiments could be considered events on Thursday – at 14:00 GMT+3, news from the Bank of England is expected: market participants will learn about the decision on the interest rate, followed by a press conference. As Econoday writes: → A decision to cut interest rates is unlikely at Thursday's meeting, with autumn being seen as the most probable period for a 0.25-point rate cut from the current level of 5.25 points. → Members of the rate-setting committee are concerned that inflation is slowing down too slowly. However, the trend is in the right direction, and the Bank of England has already stated that the 2 percent target does not necessarily need to be reached before interest rates are lowered. Perhaps the anticipation of signals for monetary policy easing instils confidence in the bulls, but how sustainable can the current growth be? As shown by the technical analysis of the UK100 chart: → The price is moving within a long-term ascending channel (shown in blue). Meanwhile, its upper boundary is around the price level of 8500, which could serve as resistance if market sentiment remains equally optimistic; → On the other hand, the price of UK100 is vulnerable to some correction. If it occurs, former resistance at 8200 may provide support. As indicated by the violet lines, successful tests of former resistance underscore the bullish nature of the market.

FTSE100 Will it reach 8213 points?The European trading day has started in a session of mixed sentiment on Friday. Investors are still digesting Apple's US corporate results and awaiting reports on unemployment ratios in Europe, with Spain and Italy being the highlights. In the afternoon, U.S. unemployment rates, non-farm payrolls and manufacturing production data (PMI) are expected to be released. At the opening the European indices as we said have traded unevenly, DAX opened with +0.2% up, the CAC40 and IBEX35 with -0.3% and -0.26% down respectively, and the FTSE 100 literally flat. Looking at the chart, the FTSE100 index (Ticker AT: UK100) has been looking to break the highs barrier since it started a strong move on April 25, until it has topped three times on April 29 and 30 and today in the Asian pre-market. Today is not expected to be the day where the index will break out again. If we look at the trading volume bell, its formation is a double bell indicating two well marked prices and the current most traded one is in the 8,163 points zone slightly below the high of 8,213.55 points. Its second POC zone is well below at 8,050 points. On April 30 there was an overbought RSI spike which led to an opposite overbought spike on May 1. The market today is on the verge of candy to see if it breaks that sequence of resistances today. Or else it falls back to the indicated zone. There is a good chance that a sharp correction will bring the index value back to the indicated price average today or early next week.

FTSE 100 : HIGH IN THE SKY- The market still trades above a bullish trend line since mid-February 2024, strongly helped by a decreasing Pound Sterling. The mid-term trend is bullish for UK equities. - Since the 3rd impact on its bullish trendline at the end of last week, the market has rallied to an hall-time high above 8,000pts. Since the impact on the 8,200pts mark, we can notice a slowdown of the short-term bullish acceleration. Indeed, new highs are registered with less and less strength, a situation clearly confirmed with the bearish divergence from the MACD indicator. Very short-term moving averages remain bullish, acting as dynamic support, while the market currently fails to clear the 8,200pts level for a second time in a row. - The mid-term situation stays bearish for the market. However, on a very short-term view, all leads to a market correction. The bullish trend slowdown taking place in uncharted territory may be the sign that some investors want to take some profit out. If that happens to be proven in the next few session, the market will be likely to test the newly established floor around 8,045pts, with 8,152pts and 8,112pts as intermediate support zones, before registering new highs.

FTSE Target hit. Can it go even higher?FTSE100 (UK100) hit today our 8150 Target, which we set a month ago (March 20, see chart below): Since last week the 1W candle closed (much) higher than the February 2023 Resistance, we see the pattern continuing its strong resemblance with the October 2022 - February 2023 Bullish Leg. The long-term pattern continues to be a Channel Up and its previous Bullish Leg topped just below the 1.382 Fibonacci extension, making its technical Higher High. As a result, our Target is 8350 (just below the new 1.382 Fib extension). Note that if that Fib level breaks, we may even see accelerated growth as high as to complete +20% from the bottom. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

UK100A double top is a technical chart pattern that signals a potential reversal of an uptrend. It occurs when the price of an asset reaches a high point, retraces, then rallies back to a similar high before reversing downward. The pattern resembles the letter "M" and is formed by two consecutive peaks at approximately the same level, with a trough (the retracement) between them. Traders often interpret the double top as a bearish signal, suggesting that the upward momentum has weakened and that a downward trend may follow. It's essential for traders to look for confirmation through other technical indicators or price action before making trading decisions based solely on the double top pattern.
