FTSE on a 1-month correction. Is it over?Great display of compliance to technical dynamics by FTSE 100 (UK100) on our previous analysis (April 29, see chart below) as after hitting our 8350 Target it got rejected exactly at the top (Higher Highs trend-line) of the long-term +2 year Channel Up: The corrective pattern broke yesterday below the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) for the first time since April 19, which technically opens the way for a test of the next Support level, the Higher Lows Zone. As you can see, this Zone has been providing Support (and the most optimal buy entry) since the January 17 Low. As a result, as long as the 1D MA100 (green trend-line) is holding, we will buy the next Higher Lows contact and target 8350 (Lower Highs projection similar to February 07 2024 and October 17 2023). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

FTSE 100 Index Declines After Labour Market NewsFTSE 100 Index Declines After Labour Market News The British stock index FTSE 100 (UK 100 on FXOpen) dropped nearly 1% yesterday due to the release of economic data indicating a rise in unemployment. According to ForexFactory: → The Claimant Count Change (number of unemployment benefit claims) was 50,000 (expected = 10.2k, previous month = 8.4k). This is the highest number since March 2021. → The unemployment rate slightly increased to 4.4% compared to the previous value of 4.3%. However, today the FTSE 100 (UK 100 on FXOpen) chart is showing signs of recovery. Fundamentally: → GDP news did not bring any unpleasant surprises; → Weakening in the labour market might prompt the Bank of England to lower the interest rate to stimulate the economy, which should support the stock index. From a Technical Analysis Perspective of the FTSE 100 (UK 100 on FXOpen): → At the low of the decline, the price found support at the median line of the upward channel that has been in place since last autumn (shown in blue); → The median line is reinforced by the 50% Fibonacci retracement level from the bullish impulse A→B; → The price failed to consolidate below the late May low around the 8150 level, indicating a local capitulation of bears. Bulls, on the other hand, might use these technical support factors to attempt to resume the upward trend within the blue channel. To do this, they will need to break the resistance of the trend line (shown in red). Trade global index CFDs with zero commission and tight spreads.

FTSE 100 - index prepares for bumper run to 10kThis is a macro outlook into late 2024. On the above 3-month chart price action has been trading under resistance since 1999. A significant development has now occurred. That resistance after 22 years has confirmed as support. Isn’t there a recession coming? Since the UK imposed economic sanctions on itself in 2016 (A world first believe?) there is a growing realisation that extended dependancy on external resources will mean accepting higher and higher costs for everyday goods and services. Much like the US, the UK is about to enter a period of internal investment as it seeks to rediscover why protectionism does not work. You would think with so many history graduates in parliament.. The Macro outlook for the FTSE 100 is fascinating. Many many stocks are oversold in the FTSE 100. Not all. But a great many are with little to no ideas published on them. Identifying this trend a couple of years ago, the ideas on Rolls Royce and Centrica were published (attached below), now up 100 and 200%, respectively. However you will notice such performance does not apply equally across the index. My belief or rather hours of study informs us selecting the correct stocks will outperform over the next 2 to 3 years. Already have begun to identify them. The TA.. On the chart we have: 1) Macro higher lows forming an ascending triangle. 2) Price action printed the first macro higher high in October 2017. 3) Inverse head & shoulders pattern with confirmation and 10k target. 4) The 3-month hammer candle. 10 days until it closes. IF it closes as is, it will be the shot that starts the race. Is it possible the index corrects and crashes as everyone suggests? Sure. Is it probable? No. Ww Type: Investment Risk: 30-40% exposure, you don’t want to sit this one out. Timeframe: Long between now and end of year. Return: 30%

FTSE Retreats to Key Fibonacci LevelsAfter powering to all-time highs at the start of the month, the FTSE 100’s uptrend has started to falter with the index pulling back more than 300 points during the last two weeks. Let's explore the reasons behind this pullback and identify key levels where the index might find support. Why is the FTSE Falling? Rising Bond Yields: Concerns about prolonged high global interest rates have driven bond yields higher, making bonds more attractive compared to stocks and putting downward pressure on the equity market. Strong Sterling: The British pound has surged to a 21-month high against the euro due to persistent inflation in the UK. Investors are speculating that the Bank of England will delay rate cuts longer than the European Central Bank. A stronger pound negatively impacts FTSE’s multinational companies. Natural Market Cycles: It's crucial to recognise that uptrends often experience periods of correction. These pullbacks are not necessarily the end of a trend but can present opportunities to enter the market at favourable risk/reward levels. Key Levels to Watch The FTSE’s pullback has brought it to some significant support levels that could potentially halt the decline if the long-term uptrend resumes: 50% Fibonacci Retracement (April Swing Low to May Swing High): The recent trend from April to May offers a smooth basis for Fibonacci retracements. The FTSE has now reached the 50% retracement level of this move, making it a critical point to monitor. 50-Day Simple Moving Average (50MA): This moving average coincides with the 50% Fibonacci retracement level mentioned above, adding further weight to its importance as potential support. February 2023 Highs: Before the breakout in April, the highs from February 2023 served as significant resistance. In an established uptrend, former resistance levels often become support as traders look to buy back in. 38.2% Fibonacci Retracement (October 2023 Lows to May 2024 Highs): Fibonacci retracements can be taken from longer term trend legs and this is a prime example. A 38.2% retracement of the impressive run higher from October 2023 to May 2024 comes in just below the levels mentioned above and should be closely watched.

FTSE-100 : ROUNDING TOP- The market has been registering higher highs and low since mid-April ; the mid-term trend was then bullish. - As stated in our previous analysis, the market has successfully accelerated to a new historical high around 8,483pts. Since then, with continuing disappointing economic developments regarding inflation, PMI and retail sales data, investors have been pushed to take some profits out. This led to this technical situation where the market seems to have come to a state of exhaustion, highlighted by a rounding top pattern. Both moving average are in bearish configuration following a downside cross. The MACD indicator evolves inside its selling zone too. - The short-term outlook is bearish for the market. The rounding top pattern is seen as a bearish reversal configuration, especially when it occurs far in a bullish trend, at an all-time high level. The market has just broken-out the 23.6% fibonacci level at 8,310pts and its next targets can be found around 8,200pts, 8,117pts and 8,030pts by extension.

Ichimoku Watch: FTSE 100 Approaching Ichimoku Cloud Following UK inflation data earlier today, the FTSE 100 market index has continued to decline from its all-time high of 8,474 last week. Technical Market With the FTSE 100’s trend still firmly to the upside, the H4 timeframe is offering interesting price action at the moment. Firstly, you will notice that as the index tested all-time highs, price action formed the head of a head and shoulders top pattern and recently drove through the pattern’s neckline (taken from the low of 8,406) to complete the formation. This has likely led to traders plotting the pattern’s profit objective at 8,330. This, on its own, suggests that the index could pull lower to test the pattern’s profit objective. Secondly, price action has formed a possible bullish flag pattern (8,474-8,406). Price is now testing the pattern’s support line, and if this breaks, it will invalidate the flag pattern but strengthen the possibility that the index may reach the head and shoulders top pattern profit objective at 8,330. An alternative scenario to consider may also be that price continues to decline steadily within the bullish flag pattern’s boundaries until testing 8,330. That way, traders will likely look for price to breakout above the flag pattern’s boundary to help confirm bullish interest. Finally, the Ichimoku Cloud (the difference between the Leading Span A and the Leading Span B) offers wide support, currently between 8,292 and 8,412, and holds the head and shoulders top pattern profit objective at 8,330. From the Ichimoku Indicator, you will also see that price is above the Lagging Span, which is a bearish signal, and the conversion line has recently crossed below the baseline, movement that is also considered bearish. Price Direction? The uptrend, the Ichimoku Cloud support area and the head-and-shoulders top pattern profit objective at 8,330 may be enough to drive buying within the Ichimoku Cloud support area if tested this week.
