UK100: Could the slide bellow 7,190 extend?FTSE100 (UK100) index is also an interesting one to watch this week. The index was bounded in a range above 7,000 handle since August. Note that FTSE has been in a loose inverse relation with the pound since the Brexit referendum. So, in case of a clear Conservative win this Thursday, a strong rally in both the pound and FTSE would be a strong sign of return in investor confidence. Take in mind that the UK elections are held when markets are open, and a new government may be formed on Friday, so volatility could be significant throughout the night and also during all day at Friday. UK100 index were steady on Monday after posting the biggest weekly loss in 9 weeks last week. A firmer pound prevented more extreme gains as the latest poll showed the Conservatives increasing its lead over Labour by two-digits percentage points. The UK100 index is trading below the 50-day and 200-day SMAs on 4-hour chart. The RSI indicator is sloping down on both H4 and D time frames. This morning FTSE broke the first support at 7,200. We opened Short position at 7,190 with Stop Loss above 7,250 and Take Profit around 7,130. There is located the lower line of Bollinger Bands on 4-hour chart and since October this level is acting as key support. On opposite side, the first resistance is the top in the last 3 days at 7,256, followed by H4 50 SMA, middle line of BBs and 200 SMA (on both H4 and daily charts is around 7,320). Do you trade this index and how?

FTSE Bottoming Pattern on 4 Hour Trade/ British ElectionsJust before I talk about this trade, just a fair warning that the British Elections are this week on Thursday December 12th. So a high risk event, and will be dominated by Brexit promises. I have spoken about how Central Banks in the Western world are stuck, and they are now attempting to maintain confidence in the system. They want to go back to easing and QE but remember, QE was supposed to be a one time desperate policy to prevent a 1920-30's like great depression. When we go back to QE, people will realize it did not work in the first place. They will use different names to mask QE, but this is the confidence crisis that looms. These central banks have one role now: to keep assets propped. This will eventually be morphed into buyers of LAST RESORT (instead of lenders of last resort...which was the central banks original mandate when they were first being formed). I am expecting higher equity prices in the US because there is nowhere to go for yield anymore. Also, many investors know the Fed will support this market. Not to mention the President needs high stock markets if he wants to win the next election using "Keeping America Great" slogan. Yes, we will have pullbacks, but equity markets will go higher. I speak about why this can be a problem for the Fed and the US Dollar. Post linked below. In terms of the current FTSE chart, we did make a bottoming/ double bottom pattern at a flip/support zone. From here, we had a nice break above a flip zone marked in blue, a strong break, and now it seems we are making our first higher low which will be confirmed with this current 4 hour candle close. Target will be the flip zone at 7340 for the trade.

FTSE 100 - Selling ralliesTrade Idea Broken out of the channel formation to the downside. Continued downward momentum from 7404 resulted in the pair posting net daily losses yesterday. Negative overnight flows lead to an expectation of a weaker open this morning. Further downside is expected although we prefer to set shorts at our bespoke resistance levels at 7310, resulting in improved risk/reward. Expect trading to remain mixed and volatile. We look to Sell at 7310 Stop: 7355 Target 1; 7095 Target 2: 7005
