Analysing the FTSE 100's Summer ConsolidationSince mid-May, the FTSE 100 index has been in a consolidation phase. In this analysis, we'll build a picture of this phase by sequentially adding technical indicators to the daily candle chart of the FTSE 100. While technical indicators can provide valuable insights, overloading a chart with too many can be overwhelming. We'll take a methodical approach to enhance clarity and understanding.
Horizontal Support and Resistance
Let’s start with the fundamentals of price action trading – horizontal support and resistance levels. For many traders, these levels are all that is needed to make informed decisions.
Even this minimalistic view of the FTSE provides valuable information about market price action. We can see that the market has started to establish an area of support in recent weeks. During the last month, the FTSE has formed four swing lows around a similar level.
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results
Price Pattern Observation
By mapping the recent series of swing highs and lows, we can see a wedge pattern starting to emerge. This wedge suggests that the market is being "funnelled" into an apex, a formation that often precedes significant trending moves.
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results
Anchored VWAP
Adding the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) anchored to the April swing lows, which preceded the last trend leg higher, we see that the FTSE is consolidating around the anchored VWAP. The VWAP is moving horizontally, indicating the market has reached a short-term equilibrium.
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results
Fibonacci Levels
Adding the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the recent trend from April to May, we find it aligns with the horizontal support levels formed over the last month. This adds depth to our market structure analysis.
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results
Volume
Finally, we add a volume histogram to our chart, which shows decreasing volumes in recent weeks – a common summer trend. A breakout above the wedge on rising volume may indicate the FTSE’s long-term uptrend is ready to resume.

FTSE 100 Index Behaves Bullishly Amid ElectionsFTSE 100 Index Behaves Bullishly Amid Elections
On Friday, the FTSE 100 index rose by 0.4% to 8273 points, continuing its 0.9% rise on Thursday. According to Trading Economics, the centre-left Labour Party, as expected, won the parliamentary elections and secured a majority, ousting the Conservative Party after 14 years in power.
The Labour Party emphasised the importance of economic stability in its decisions and committed to strict budgetary spending rules.
Prime Minister Sunak conceded defeat, and the UK stock market positively received the official election results. As shown by the chart, the FTSE 100 index (UK 100 on FXOpen) has risen by approximately 1.9% from the July 2nd low.
However, the situation remains unfavourable for the bulls.
According to the technical analysis of the FTSE 100 (UK 100 on FXOpen) chart:
→ the market has formed an upward trend (shown in blue), but its relevance remains in question;
→ the B→C rise constitutes 50% of the A→B downward impulse – a bearish sign;
→ in June, the price formed a range zone (shown with red lines), within which it currently resides.
In a favourable scenario, the bulls may break the upper boundary of the red range to return within the long-term channel.
Otherwise, the long-term blue channel will lose its relevance, and the Labour Party may experience a period of decline in the FTSE 100 index (UK 100 on FXOpen) early in their term.

UK100 Bullish Trade Idea Uk100 Is Looking Good In the Bullish Direction After Being Bearish for a Few Days.
Now Uk100 is Making Consecutive HL and HH.
FTSE Losing Steam (Next Moves)Previous long zones have presented themselves repeatedly around the current area, and lower highs have brought a continuous return to these areas.
This is because the long side bias that existed for so long around UK Stocks has started to fade.
Buying, therefore, comes with caution. Would not be shocked if you get lower nearer 8060.
Only RE-shorting on pushes back up to continue lower high structure.
FTSE 100 Inverted Cup-And-Handle Hints at Bearish BreakLike Germany's DAX that we highlighted earlier today, the UK's FTSE 100 is also on the verge of a bearish break down after a strong start to 2024.
The UK index has formed a clear inverted cup-and-handle pattern over the last 10 weeks. Akin to the "head" and "right shoulder" of a head-and-shoulders pattern, this setup shows fading buying pressure and a potential reversal of an established bullish trend if the neckline, in this case at 8110, gives way. In that scenario, the UK index could erase much of the Q2 gain and retreat toward the 200-day MA around 7800.
Continuation of HH HLAs the market is already in bull run, so will at least touch the top once again for a reverse.

FTSE-100 : SELLERS TAKE CONTROL- The market is trading above a bullish trendline since February-2024 ; the long-term trend is then bullish.
- However, recently the upcoming general election has risen a lot of uncertainty in the UK.
And with such a blurry political outlook, many investors have chosen to readjust their portfolio's exposure, which led to a pull back in prices.
This pull-back led the market back to its mid-term bullish trend line for a fifth impact.
The RSI indicator has already broken-out its own bullish-trend line, confirming that sellers are now in control.
Both moving averages have registered a bearish cross and reversal, which also supports the case of a bearish continuation.
- The anticipated bearish break-out registered by the RSI, combined with the current political uncertainty, tends to allow us to expect the bullish trend to be invalidated soon.
We expect the market to remain volatile on the short-term basis, while next support levels can be located around 8,075pts, 4,945pts and 7,820pts by extension.

UK100 FTSE100 - ABC Correction Uderway?Hello Guys,
The yearly Candle is slightly Bullish - but we did not see a break on a closing base of the crucial 7900 area -> ATH.
A Retest of this area would constitute a Bullish setup - which I would be happy to be part of after the last rallye.
Q2 Close - Doji -> might see a consolidation phase from here with a sideways to down mentality - considering the recent gains the bulls had.
The monthly Bias is Bearish. A Bearish Engulfing Pattern (Although a small one) has been formed. The Stochastic confirms a Bearish Bias - not totally contradicting the higher Timeframes! So Bulls be prepared for some drop… Just an idea from my side. A Double Top at 8400 would be a strong sign of Bears being back.
-> For the bulls 7900 has to hold - for the bears 8400.
Thats all for now…
Thanks for reading

UKX.X heading down?Monthly chart of UKX.X from inception.
Price is rejecting the upper channel line having completed 5 waves.
Down would seem to be more likely than up at least for now.
FTSE 100 Trade Plans UpcomingThe UK major stock index (FTSE100) has seen sustained falls over a reasonable period of time.
Currently there is no strong case for up moves, and similarly down moves. However, It is ranging to the downside on a slightly more 'unsure' outlook, as summarised by the technicals drawn.
1. Tech bias illustrates losing of value and a push to lows that ultimately may break on continued pressure.
2. Sentiment shows no real growth outlook and slight risk off view.
