Footsie Hasn’t Topped Yet; Shows Bullish PatternWe talked about Footsie back in May 2024, where we mentioned and highlighted an ongoing 5th wave in the weekly chart with space up to 8800 – 9400 target area.
Footsie a.k.a. FTSE100 or UK100 stock market index is still bullish with nice and clean inverted H&S pattern on a daily chart. After a higher degree A-B-C correction in wave (4), it can be getting ready for a bullish continuation within wave (5) by a new lower degree bullish setup formation. With sharp leg up into wave 1, we are actually tracking an a-b-c pullback in wave 2, where subwave »c« is coming out of subwave »b« triangle, so ideal support is at 8100 – 8000 area, from where we should be aware of a bullish resumption for wave 3 of a five-wave bullish cycle.

Yesterday, we had both short and long UK100 - all hit nicely.
FTSE 100 Potentially topped. Strong pull-back incoming.Earlier this month (August 08, see chart below), we got the most optimal buy entry on FTSE 100 (UK100) that quickly hit the 8300 short-term Target, even earlier than we expected:
The price is now above the top (Lower Highs trend-line) of the Bearish Megaphone, a symmetrical pattern to May - August 2023. We expect this rally to top soon and then pull-back the same way to the symmetrical Support Zone, below the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line).
Shorters can target its top at 8150 and then buy for 8500.
