FTSE 100 forms bullish signalThe FTSE is among a handful of major global indices signaling a rebound in the stock markets following this week's earlier selling pressure. The UK benchmark index broke below a well-established support level around 8110 area on Thursday, before quickly recovering to rally into the close. The false breakdown marks a key reversal pattern and especially as the index ended up with a hammer candle on the daily chart, rising above the 21-day exponential moving average. Today, the FTSE is rising above the trend line of its triangle continuation pattern to the upside. A close above it would be bullish. Yesterday's high at 8228 is now an important short-term support level that needs to hold. By Fawad Razaqzada, market analyst at FOREX.com

UK100 POTENTIAL LONG OPPORTUNITYHello Everyone! How are you all? UK100 is an instrument to watch this week, because it is shaping up very nicely for a bullish move that we can capitalize on. So, I will be looking for a bullish reversal because of the following reasons: 1. The overall trend is bullish. 2. The price has formed a bullish reversal structure. 3. The price is approaching the value area. Game Plan: If the price rejects at the VA and makes a bullish impulse followed by a 15mins flag with two highs and lows. Entry : will look for a risk sell entry within the flag or a reduced risk entry on the breakout of the flag.

Weekly Analysis of UK100 Butterfly 🦋 the detail is shown in the above Idea. I made this Idea based on Candlestick Analysis and Harmonic pattern using Fibonacci tools. In the context of financial markets, the phrase " pull back to last golden level and flying UK100 butterfly to next golden level at 8320 " suggests a potential upward movement in the UK100 index, possibly after a period of consolidation or retracement. Traders and investors may interpret this as a signal to anticipate a bullish momentum, aiming for a target level around 8320. It highlights the importance of identifying key support and resistance levels, and the potential for significant price movements. As with any market analysis, it's crucial to consider risk management strategies before making trading decisions at black circular region .

FTSE100 Looking BEARISHThe long term outlook for the FTSE100 is not looking good as it seems an ' ending diagonal ' or a ' leading diagonal ' has formed as shown in this weekly chart. ' A leading diagonal (or an ending diagonal) is typically followed by a deep retracement ' (Frost & Prechter ). Also, ' the fifth wave of an ending diagonal often ends in a "throw-over" i.e., a brief break of the trendline connecting the end points of waves (1) and (3) '. Therefore, it is highly likely that the FTSE100 will eventually retrace down to meet to the lower trendline shown in the chart at around the 6000 price level. A throw-over is also possible, whereby the upper trendline will momentarily be broken upwards prior to the move downwards. This is something to keep in mind if placing stops close to the high. I hope you enjoyed this analysis and I welcome any comments / alternate views.

UK100 Extends Consolidation on Murky Monetary Policy OutlookUK100 has pulled back following its May record peak and has entered consolidation mode, as uncertainty around BoE’s policy path has taken hold. Although policymakers have pointed to a less restrictive stance ahead, there is no clarity around the timing of a pivot. The last inflation print did not help, as market pared back bets for a cut in August, since CPI persisted at 2% and the services component remained sticky. This sustains risk for a breach of the pivotal 38.2% Fibonacci of this year’s rally, which would bring the 200Day EMA (blue line) in the spotlight, although deeper weakness does not look easy. The central bank has hinted at lower rates ahead, price pressures have moderated and the economy exited its brief recession. Furthermore, the new government could usher in a much needed period of stability, while the change in listing rules cam reinvigorate the IPO market and boost sentiment. UK100 has already defended the 38.2% Fibonacci multiple times, containing the correction to levels that reaffirm the upside potential. Bulls have the ability to reclaim 8,369 and eventually push for new all-time highs (8,488).

Layup trade in FTSE 100?The FT100 has formed a descending triangle over the past 53 days, with 14 showing the price settling into a small rectangle pattern. The rectangle pattern is my favourite setup, and both patterns are equally significant, making managing entries and stops easy. A break below 8,110 suggests the stock could drop by 2.6% to 7,899, while a break above 8,284, the upper limit of the rectangle pattern, could lift the price to 8,462. We are looking for a breakout in either direction, ideally confirmed by movements in other stock indices. This content is not directed to residents of the EU or UK.

Analysing the FTSE 100's Summer ConsolidationSince mid-May, the FTSE 100 index has been in a consolidation phase. In this analysis, we'll build a picture of this phase by sequentially adding technical indicators to the daily candle chart of the FTSE 100. While technical indicators can provide valuable insights, overloading a chart with too many can be overwhelming. We'll take a methodical approach to enhance clarity and understanding. Horizontal Support and Resistance Let’s start with the fundamentals of price action trading – horizontal support and resistance levels. For many traders, these levels are all that is needed to make informed decisions. Even this minimalistic view of the FTSE provides valuable information about market price action. We can see that the market has started to establish an area of support in recent weeks. During the last month, the FTSE has formed four swing lows around a similar level. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results Price Pattern Observation By mapping the recent series of swing highs and lows, we can see a wedge pattern starting to emerge. This wedge suggests that the market is being "funnelled" into an apex, a formation that often precedes significant trending moves. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results Anchored VWAP Adding the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) anchored to the April swing lows, which preceded the last trend leg higher, we see that the FTSE is consolidating around the anchored VWAP. The VWAP is moving horizontally, indicating the market has reached a short-term equilibrium. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results Fibonacci Levels Adding the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the recent trend from April to May, we find it aligns with the horizontal support levels formed over the last month. This adds depth to our market structure analysis. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results Volume Finally, we add a volume histogram to our chart, which shows decreasing volumes in recent weeks – a common summer trend. A breakout above the wedge on rising volume may indicate the FTSE’s long-term uptrend is ready to resume.

FTSE 100 Index Behaves Bullishly Amid ElectionsFTSE 100 Index Behaves Bullishly Amid Elections On Friday, the FTSE 100 index rose by 0.4% to 8273 points, continuing its 0.9% rise on Thursday. According to Trading Economics, the centre-left Labour Party, as expected, won the parliamentary elections and secured a majority, ousting the Conservative Party after 14 years in power. The Labour Party emphasised the importance of economic stability in its decisions and committed to strict budgetary spending rules. Prime Minister Sunak conceded defeat, and the UK stock market positively received the official election results. As shown by the chart, the FTSE 100 index (UK 100 on FXOpen) has risen by approximately 1.9% from the July 2nd low. However, the situation remains unfavourable for the bulls. According to the technical analysis of the FTSE 100 (UK 100 on FXOpen) chart: → the market has formed an upward trend (shown in blue), but its relevance remains in question; → the B→C rise constitutes 50% of the A→B downward impulse – a bearish sign; → in June, the price formed a range zone (shown with red lines), within which it currently resides. In a favourable scenario, the bulls may break the upper boundary of the red range to return within the long-term channel. Otherwise, the long-term blue channel will lose its relevance, and the Labour Party may experience a period of decline in the FTSE 100 index (UK 100 on FXOpen) early in their term.
