Elliott Wave Intraday Analysis: FTSE should Continue HigherShort Term Elliott Wave in FTSE suggests that the index has completed a bearish sequence from 5.15.2024 high. The decline made a zig zag Elliott Wave structure. Down from 5.15.2024 high, wave A ended at 8106.79 low. Rally in wave B ended at 8405.24 high with internal subdivision as a expanded flat structure. Up from wave A, wave ((a)) ended at 8279.75 and wave ((b)) ended at 8056.01. Wave ((c)) higher ended at 8405.24 which completed wave B in higher degree. Then, FTSE turned lower in wave C with internal subdivision as an impulse structure. Down from wave B, wave ((i)) ended at 8158.03 low and wave ((ii)) ended slighly up at 8174.71 high. Wave ((iii)) lower ended at 7972.35 and wave ((iv)) ended at 8024.83 high. Final leg wave ((v)) ended at 7915.94 low which completed wave C and (4) in higher degree. The current rally is in progress expecting to continue higher as wave (5). Near term, we are calling an impulse structure as wave ((i)) from wave (4) low. This wave ((i)) should be completed very soon and we are expecting a retracement in 3, 7 or 11 swings as wave ((ii)) before resuming the rally. The view is valid as price action remains above 7915.94 low.

FTSE 3rd straight green day after the bottom.FTSE 100 (UK100) is having perhaps the most convincing bottom formation out of all major global indices as despite the selling pressure evident on each day, it is (so far) today on the 3rd straight green 1D candle since Monday's Low. That Low came just a few points from touching not only the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) but also the Higher Lows Zone (started on October 27 2023). At the same time, the Bearish Megaphone since its All Time High (ATH), displays striking similarities with the April - August 2023 pattern. In fact, this week's Low seems to be similar with the August 18 2023 Low. That initiated a rebound that almost touched the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement level, before another correction. Even the 1D RSI patterns are similar among the two fractals. As a result, we turn bullish again on FTSE here, targeting 8300 (just below the 0.786 Fib). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

England's Economic Crossroads and Banking ResilienceEngland’s economy is facing a complex array of challenges, driven by domestic social unrest, geopolitical tensions, and evolving labor dynamics. Recent riots, sparked by both marginalized Muslim communities and extreme right-wing groups, highlight deep-seated socio-economic issues. These tensions have been exacerbated by international events, such as the October 7, 2023, incident in Israel, which reverberated through England's Muslim community. In addition to these social and geopolitical pressures, the economic indicators present a mixed picture. Inflation, unemployment, and a housing crisis have strained the economy, while regional conflicts, such as the Middle East and Russia-Ukraine wars, pose further risks to energy prices, trade, and security. Amidst this backdrop, the Bank of England’s recent declaration that top UK lenders can be dismantled without taxpayer bailouts is a significant milestone. This statement reflects the progress made since the 2008 financial crisis in enhancing the resilience of the UK banking system through stricter capital requirements and resolvability assessments. However, emerging risks such as climate change, cyberattacks, and global financial interconnectedness require continuous vigilance and robust regulation. Inspiration and Challenge: As traders and investors, understanding the interplay between social dynamics, geopolitical tensions, and financial stability is crucial. England’s current economic state challenges us to think beyond traditional metrics and consider the broader implications of regional conflicts and social unrest on financial markets. The resilience of the UK banking system offers a glimmer of stability, but it also calls for ongoing scrutiny of emerging risks. Engage with this analysis to deepen your strategic insights and navigate the complexities of the global economic landscape.

FTSE 100 vs United Kingdom Interest RateThe UK Central Bank Just Cut Interest Rates: What Can We Expect? Sometimes folks see this as a positive thing, but it all depends on the circumstances under which it is being done. Monthly Chart Analysis: FTSE 100 Index vs. United Kingdom Interest Rate If we look at the FTSE 100 Index, it's clear that the UK economy was in a strong uptrend between 1988 and 2001, which made many investors rich. The market topped around February 1999 and broke down in March 2001, signaling the end of the uptrend. Since then, the UK’s economy has been moving sideways in what looks like a rising wedge. Sure, the price has been making new all-time highs, but the movement is very different from the uptrend between 1988 and 2001. During that uptrend, interest rate cuts were positive, and rising rates didn't do much other than cause minor pauses to the upward movement. In a strong uptrend like the one seen between 1988 and 2001, any investor could make money. However, during the “sideways” movement within the rising wedge, interest rate cuts had a much different effect on the economy, often catastrophic. In the charts above, I have highlighted four points in time. These points represent two things: The price was at the resistance area of the rising wedge. Interest rates were cut. Let’s review these points: February 2001 - The price breaks down from the market top, signaling the uptrend was over and the market might move in the opposite direction. This point later becomes part of the resistance area of the rising wedge. The central bank at this time also cut rates, sending them below 5% for the first time. A market crash close to -45% occurred at this point. November 2007 - The price reaches the previous level of February 2001, creating a resistance level, and interest rates pull back above 5%. The central bank proceeds to cut rates again. A market crash close to -45% once again occurs at this point. February 2020 - After a historic interest rate plunge from over 5% to 0.5%, both the economy and interest rates stabilize over the next 10 years (2009-2018). In 2019, there is a spike in interest rates which brings us to February 2020. The price is near resistance levels, and the central bank decides to cut interest rates. A market crash close to -37% once again occurs at this point (Remember when they said the market crashed because of the Covid pandemic?). August 2024 - Today, the price finds itself back at the resistance area of the rising wedge, and the central bank just announced it will start cutting interest rates. What do you think will happen next? Every time the price found itself at the resistance area of this rising wedge of the FTSE 100 Index and interest rates were cut, the market plunged on average by -42%. Don’t let the “all-time high” prices fool you; history likes to repeat itself. Current Price: 8,283.26 Forecast Price: 5,674.75 (-32.47%)

Breakout Alert: FTSE 100 The FTSE 100 has broken out of a wedge pattern that had been forming for over 10 weeks. Let’s explore the trading opportunities this breakout has created. Breakout Follows Fakeout Since mid-May, the FTSE 100 had been consolidating within a tightening trading range or wedge. After weeks of small daily ranges and choppy sideways price action due to low summer volumes, last week brought a significant change. On Thursday, the FTSE threatened to break lower following weak earnings reports from the US tech sector, which dampened market sentiment. However, buyers quickly stepped in, driving the market back into the wedge and forming a bullish 'fakeout' candle backed by a significant increase in volume. Friday's price action saw the market drive higher, decisively breaking and closing above the wedge pattern. This breakout sets the stage for a continuation of the FTSE’s long-term uptrend, with momentum traders targeting a retest of the May highs. FTSE 100 Daily Candle Chart Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results Lower Timeframe Analysis One strategy that momentum-based index traders might use to capitalise on the FTSE’s breakout is to buy pullbacks on a lower timeframe, such as the hourly candle chart. To time their pullback trades, traders can utilise trendlines, moving averages, horizontal support levels, and Fibonacci retracements. On this timeframe, we can already see that the FTSE has broken below the initial trendline that formed following the breakout. This suggests that the market could undergo a deeper pullback before the trend resumes. FTSE 100 Hourly Candle Chart Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results UK Sector Snapshot A seven-day sector snapshot reveals that the FTSE’s current rally is being driven by the consumer sectors, with Consumer Staples and Consumer Discretionary leading the way. Strong earnings reports from companies like Compass Group (CPG) and British American Tobacco (BATS) have propelled these sectors higher. Meanwhile, the Real Estate, Energy, and Tech sectors have been lagging. Momentum traders looking to play the FTSE’s breakout through individual stocks might find opportunities within the Consumer Staples and Consumer Discretionary sectors.

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.
