UK100 trade ideas
FTSE100 | UK Stock Market | Price Action MasterclassHey Traders,
Global indexes are easier to read when you can see where market value exists.
I previously called it short from the highs in this analysis:
This was just before the mammoth fall in which we have seen. The UK economy has been subdued and the latest Inflation readings are not appetising. This is causing huge uncertainty within the British economy and has led to lowered company forecasts and problems with growth.
Policy setters are attempting to battle their way through and politicians are determined to not give tax cuts further adding to the issue.
The actual index itself has formerly rallied to new highs due to the heavy weighted oil companies within, only briefly. House building companies have dropped out of the FTSE due to mortgage rates and costs.
Overall, Market Sentiment is poor, but a technical perspective persists amongst similar areas where you have had a similar situation. Poor sentiment always comes before good hence my bias.
The UK Index, the FTSE 100 is a great example of using Price Action to wade through the midst. It never lies and will always give you a gauge before you see any improvement in market sentiment and a following upmove.
Risk management is key in these situations. Just because you have a good Tech setup does not mean you should sell the farm and it does not mean the price cannot fall further. So be prepared and plan future entries if applicable to your strategy. But never, ever overleverage, just use Price Action as a guide to entry and a guide to the value of the market.
Here's how I'm trading it.
UK100 MEET RESISTANCE [ DISTRIBUTION] UK100 shows sign of distribution
1) the first sign was the light volume breakout above the 25 oct 2023 resistance level.
2) we believe the light breakout on thu 02 nov 2023 was a pure sign of shakeout, our reason is that after the 02 nov 2023 on the 3 nov 2023 we saw uk100 dropping below the 25 oct 2023 resistance with increasing volume.
3) On Monday confirm our expectation with the weak demand that couldn't break above the 25 oct 2023 resistance, sign of weakness.
4) on the 07 nov 2023 we took our first SHORT POSITION.

FTSE100 - Long Signal (Relief Rally)FTSE100 D1
Buy some came into play late last week, following the latest stock dump, we have since started to bounce following an upside gap, pushing as much as 1.7R, but sat at a current 1.3R.
Eyes on FTSE100, we may see a second attempt bounce from that 7265 support price. It's going to be a busy week, I can't stress that enough, with all the risk events, economic data and earning figures to come out, NFP, AE and UE figures Friday too.
FTSE Last drop before buying for the medium-term.The FTSE 100 Index (UK100) delivered a strong short-term buy signal last time we looked at it (see chart below):
The index has been since rejected twice on the Lower Highs trend-line of what is almost a year long Descending Triangle. We will wait for a test of the Support Zone, ideally when the 1D RSI tests its Higher Lows trend-line and buy for the medium-term. Our target is the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level at 7535.
