Elliott Wave Suggests FTSE Should Extend HigherFTSE shows an incomplete bullish sequence from 10.13.2022 low favoring further upside. Up from 10.13.2022 low, rally is unfolding as a 5 waves impulse Elliott Wave structure. Wave (1) ended at 7599.7 and dips in wave (2) ended at 7303.68 as the 1 hour chart below shows. Wave (3) higher is in progress with internal subdivision as another 5 waves in lesser degree. Up from wave (2), wave (i) ended at 7389.92 and wave (ii) ended at 7366.88. Wave (iii) higher ended at 7540.31 and pullback in wave (iv) ended at 7462.80. Final leg wave (v) ended at 7547 and this completed wave ((i)). Pullback in wave ((ii)) ended at 7434.64.
Up from there, wave (i) ended at 7516.36 and pullback in wave (ii) ended at 7448.69. Index then rallies higher in wave (iii) towards 7772.37 and wave (iv) is either completed or expected to complete soon. Index should rally higher 1 more leg to end wave (v) and this should complete wave ((iii)) in higher degree. Afterwards, expect a pullback in wave ((iv)) to correct cycle from 12.29.2022 low before the rally resumes. As far as pivot at 7303.68 low stays intact, expect pullback to find support in 3, 7, or 11 swing for further upside.
FTSE trade ideas
FTSE 100 rockets to 1 year high! Will it reach 8,000?Today, London's stock market is experiencing a bonanza, as the FTSE 100, which is the index that includes the 100 most prestigious and well capitalized blue-chip companies which are listed on the London Stock Exchange, has rocketed to an astronomic 7,741 points.
This represents the highest level that it has reached in over one year, by quite some margin.
In fact, today's lofty value demonstrates a level that the FTSE 100 index did not even come close to during the entirety of 2022.
It was only a year and a half ago that the news channels were awash with sensationalism as the FTSE 100 index broke past the 7,000 mark, and now, at over 7,740, it is heading for the 8,000 mark!
There has been tremendous volatility within corporate stocks over the past two years, especially within the indices because these contain a range of different companies in different sectors, and whilst in 2020 and 2021 the big pharmaceuticals boomed, the travel and hospitality industries paid a large price for draconian lockdowns.
Equally, traditional goods manufacturers had their fortunes hampered by logistical problems which meant getting materials and goods from suppliers was difficult enough to cause them to be unable to deliver enough goods to meet orders. House builders did well because of the short-term break in stamp duty resulting in investors buying up smaller value properties, however the reintroduction of that plus rising interest rates curtailed that boom swiftly.
In 2022, it was all about energy companies and 'big oil', which boomed as the supply could not meet the demand, whereas some tech stocks and airline stocks languished.
Some analysts are saying that today's FTSE 100 high value, which comes after a continued upward direction since the beginning of this year, has been helped by seasonal retail buying as JD Sports and Sainsbury's made bumper profits.
JD Sports, one of Britain's largest national chains of sportswear, reported revenues growth for the 22 weeks to 31 December of more than 10%, which compared with growth of 5% over the first half of its financial year.
Sainsbury’s, one of the UK's largest supermarket chains stated that trading in general merchandise had been stronger than expected, with overall like-for-like sales growth of 5.9% in the 16 weeks to 7 January reflecting inflation and “relatively resilient” volume trends.
There is certainly a lot of volatility in the blue-chip stocks, which is a relatively new dynamic as such large firms which go to make up indices such as the FTSE 100 are traditionally very slow movers in terms of stock value, largely due to their conservative positions and need to please long-term shareholders.
UKX - Neckline BO analysisComment :
1) UK100 has fell below Neckline A and closed the week at 7018.61. Although UK100 has BO the neckline for several times before, but those one still able to close above the neckline. Unless UK100 could rebound to above Neckline A, else it would face another round of downturn below the neckline.
Support & Resistance :
R : 6355 +/-

FTSE 100 Cup & Handle at 15 min timeframe?FTSE 100 has recently experienced golden cross on 1-day charts. Resistance in 7600s was surprisingly easily bypassed Friday / Monday, and 7700+ was comfortably reached again post uneventful JP speech. Is this a bullish cup & handle on 15 minute, suggesting push towards 7800? Or will the FTSE face trouble with upcoming earnings this week, given last nights data outline sales haven’t outstripped inflation. Technicals and fundamentals appear divergent, as do RSI / price. Extensive resistance exists ~7775-7800, and above too where ATH sits. Is a turnaround nigh, or a new ATH. Thoughts?
UK100 ?
Before we put in a trade/ticket.
Does it make sense ?
Why would it rebound here ?
Why this price is have got any value ?
I mean; pause a while.
It's slow but make it worth the effort.
Again ; not your guru.
All the best
UK100 ?
Now we are at a junction. North or South.
Any currently at multi month highs.
In the scenario.
>> What's the sentiment at ground level ?
You'll have to dig some info: find out more in local papers.
The answers not gonna come up straight forward. Once you get in touch with this knowledge.
It will build up for the trade.
Buy or sell only within 20% of range. If it moves away, stop.
If price moved 60% and leaves you with 40% margin. That's not gonna be smart.
That's is smart-ass.. hehe
All the best
I'm not your guru, but I hope it made sense.
Buying FTSE at current lows.UK100 - Intraday - We look to Buy at 7525 (stop at 7495)
Previous support located at 7525.
Previous resistance located at 7600.
Broken out of the channel formation to the upside.
Risk/Reward would be poor to call a buy from current levels.
A move through 7600 will confirm the bullish momentum.
Our profit targets will be 7605 and 7635
Resistance: 7600 / 7675 / 7700
Support: 7525 / 7500 / 7450

🇬🇧 UK100 Direction North 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 UK100 Direction North
🇬🇧 Today's strong breakout of the main British index has opened a great opportunity for the possibility of a continuation of the upward trend.
🇬🇧 The price at the opening of pre-session trading last night slid to the support zone determined by the 0.236 level of the entire upward wave. Then there was a strong breakout and at the opening of the trading session it lifted the price to new peaks. Where the resistance zone is currently located.
🇬🇧 Looking at the strong trend and the technical environment, the continuation of growth at this point seems very likely.
🇬🇧 The scenario I am playing out is a continuation of the increases to reach new local peaks. I don't exclude the possibility of changing the scenario if the market situation changes abruptly. I'm aware of the possibility of a correction at any time, this should be taken into account, If the outlook changes I will publish a post with an update, so I encourage you to actively follow the profile and read the description carefully.

Previous ChoCh and BOS
UK100 27th DECEMBER 2022Uncertainty of trade relations with the EU dealt a big blow to investment and business, which in the third quarter was 8% below pre-pandemic levels. Although, the trade deal between the UK and the EU has been ongoing for two years.
The UK's decision to leave the European Union, known as Brexit, has had a major impact on the UK economy. Brexit has been a drag on UK businesses and foreign companies using the UK as a European base. It weighs on imports and exports, drains foreign exchange, and contributes to labor shortages. All of which exacerbates the UK's inflation problem to the detriment of workers and the business community.
