FTSE 100 Breaks Consolidation Channel - Is a Retest in Play?Friday’s price action saw the FTSE 100 break and close below a key consolidation channel, raising questions about whether a new phase of volatility is ahead. Let’s dive into the price action across multiple timeframes and explore sector performance to identify any emerging trends. Technical Analysis: • Daily Timeframe Starting with the daily chart, the FTSE kicked off the year on strong footing but has been stuck in a four-month consolidation since. This consolidation range is clearly marked by the May trend high and the August spike low. For context, we’ve added the 50-day and 300-day simple moving averages (SMAs). Over recent months, the FTSE has oscillated around the 50-day SMA, but the more telling indicator is that it has held firmly above the 200-day SMA, signalling that the broader long-term uptrend remains intact. While the FTSE may appear range-bound, that doesn't mean trading opportunities are limited. There's been plenty of momentum on both the long and short sides within this range. For instance, the recent formation of an ascending channel was pushing the market toward previous swing highs. However, Friday's break below this channel hints at the possibility of a retest of the bottom of the broader consolidation range. FTSE 100 Daily Candle Chart Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results • Hourly Timeframe Zooming in to the hourly chart, we get a clearer view of the breakout. Following Friday’s break, today’s price action has moved back up to retest the lower boundary of the broken channel. This sets up a classic ‘break and retest’ scenario—an attractive setup for short-term swing traders looking for opportunities either to ride the downside momentum or catch the rebound. FTSE 100 Hourly Candle Chart Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results 7-Day Sector Snapshot At the sector level, there’s a notable shift that FTSE bears should keep an eye on. Traditionally defensive sectors like Utilities, Consumer Staples, and Healthcare—which have been market leaders over the past few months—have shown signs of weakness over the past seven days. Utilities and Consumer Staples, in particular, were the strongest sectors on a three-month basis, but recent softness suggests a potential shift in sector rotation. The big question is whether this is the start of a larger trend or just a temporary mean reversion within the defensive sector dominance.

FTSE 100 Sellers Eye Key Levels Amid Profit-TakingThe ERRANTE:UK100 has faced selling pressure as investors lock in profits. This comes as inflation in the UK nears the central bank's target level, prompting expectations that the Bank of England will keep interest rates steady at 5%. The combination of stable rates and profit-taking from shareholders has contributed to a correction in the ERRANTE:UK100 after a week-long upward trend. Technical Outlook On the four-hour chart, the ERRANTE:UK100 has entered a corrective phase as buyers retreat from the uptrend that began on September 9. The index is now testing a key support level at 8280.80, and a sustained break below this point would confirm the completion of a bearish head-and-shoulders pattern. If the sellers succeed in breaking this level, the next targets are 8272.04, 8267.47, 8260.90, and finally 8248.60. However, if buyers regain control and push the price above the right shoulder resistance at 8313.00, the bearish pattern will be invalidated. Read the full article here: erranteacademy.com

FTSE 100 Bullish Ahead of Key AnnouncementsFTSE 100 Bullish Ahead of Key Announcements The chart of the UK stock index FTSE 100 (UK 100 on FXOpen) shows prevailing positive sentiment in the market. The right side of the daily chart displays a series of bullish candles, with a likelihood of this trend continuing today, as the price has been rising since the market opened. This optimism is likely driven by the anticipation of key announcements: → Tomorrow at 09:00 GMT+3, the UK CPI figures will be released. Analysts expect inflation to remain steady without an increase. → Also tomorrow, at 21:00 GMT+3, the Federal Reserve will announce its decision on interest rates, with a cut seeming inevitable. Technical analysis of the FTSE 100 (UK 100 on FXOpen) chart shows: → In 2024, the price movement has followed an upward blue channel. The period starting in May may represent an interim correction (marked by red lines) within the ongoing uptrend. → The significance of the current rise lies in it being the second attempt to break through the upper red line, offering a chance to exit the corrective channel and resume growth. The first attempt was unsuccessful, as the bullish breakout above the upper red line encountered resistance from the median of the blue channel (indicated by an arrow). Therefore, tomorrow's expected volatility spike could either reinforce the positive momentum, pushing the FTSE 100 (UK 100 on FXOpen) higher beyond the red line, or act as a "cold shower," undoing recent bullish gains and driving the price back into the red channel.
