FTSE 100 Year in Review: Key Levels and Sector Standouts As 2024 draws to a close, let’s take a deep dive into the performance of the UK’s flagship index. We’ll explore the standout sectors, technical dynamics, and the key moments that defined 2024 for the FTSE 100. The Big Picture: FTSE 100’s Weekly Technical Story Looking at the weekly candle chart, the FTSE 100’s broader post-pandemic uptrend remains intact, barring any last-minute surprises before year-end. The index breached trend highs earlier in the year, only to spend the last six months consolidating. What’s notable is how broken resistance levels have transformed into firm support, a broadly bullish sign. FTSE 100 Weekly Candle Chart Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results Zooming In: The Daily Drama of 2024 If the weekly chart gives us the framework, the daily chart paints the details. From January to May, the FTSE 100 surged almost exponentially, driven by optimism over earnings growth and a stable macro environment. However, this momentum hit a ceiling at the 8,400 level, which proved to be a stubborn resistance point. Meanwhile, the 8,000 level established itself as a key support zone, with multiple successful retests throughout the year. The second half of 2024 has been defined by mean reversion, with the index recently touching its 200-day moving average. This signals a return to equilibrium after the exuberance of the first half. The FTSE now sits in a relatively narrow range, and traders will be eyeing breakouts above 8,400 or breakdowns below 8,000 to determine the next major move. FTSE 100 Daily Candle Chart Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results Sector Winners and Losers: A Tale of Two Markets 2024 has been a year of stark contrasts across sectors. Financials emerged as the standout performer, delivering double-digit gains, supported by rising interest rates and robust earnings growth. Consumer Staples and Industrials also posted strong returns, benefiting from defensive positioning and steady demand. On the flip side, Real Estate struggled, reflecting challenges from rising borrowing costs and weaker demand. Energy and Materials grappled with falling commodity prices and a strong dollar, while Utilities faced pressure from regulatory changes and inflationary costs. These divergences underscore the importance of sector rotation in navigating the FTSE 100. For traders, keeping an eye on lagging sectors like Real Estate and Energy might uncover opportunities in 2025, especially if macro conditions shift in their favour. UK Market Sector Snapshot (YTD) Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results The Broader Context: 2024’s Defining Global Stories The FTSE 100’s performance didn’t happen in a vacuum. Labour’s win in the UK general election brought renewed focus on infrastructure spending and regulation, boosting sectors like Industrials while weighing on Utilities. Across the Atlantic, Donald Trump’s return to the White House introduced fresh uncertainties for global trade and diplomacy, while the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and Middle East tensions kept geopolitical risks elevated. These global events shaped investor sentiment, creating both tailwinds and headwinds for the FTSE’s sectors. They also highlighted the index’s role as a barometer for global economic health, with its diverse composition reflecting the interplay of local and international forces. Looking Ahead: What to Watch in 2025 As we turn to 2025, the FTSE 100 faces a pivotal moment. The consolidation around 8,000-8,400 offers a well-defined range for traders to monitor. A breakout above 8,400 could signal a renewed uptrend, while a breakdown below 8,000 might suggest a deeper retracement. Sector-wise, Financials and Consumer Staples may continue to lead, but lagging sectors like Real Estate and Energy could present contrarian opportunities if macro conditions shift. Keep an eye on the evolving regulatory landscape, geopolitical developments, and earnings trends—all of which will play crucial roles in shaping the market’s trajectory.

4-hr UK100: Possible 100 points DropSince November, the UK’s major stock index gained nearly 400 points but began correcting downward on Monday, December 9. Early buyers from November are now taking profits, triggering this pullback. In recent hours, the UK100 fell below 8230, aligning with the key 38% Fibonacci retracement level, signaling a potential further decline. Additionally, a Death Cross—a classic bearish indicator—has emerged, reinforcing the strong downward momentum. These lower levels might draw short-term buyers, possibly causing a brief rebound towards 8240. However, given the correction phase, the index could dip further, potentially retesting the 8140 zone, which aligns with the crucial 61.2% Fibonacci level. Short sellers aiming to capitalize on the prevailing bearish momentum may target a drop of at least 70 points from current levels.

1-hr UK100: Upward Momentum Detected The 100 point correction in UK100 seems to be over now, with the value rising with 50 points since Friday so far. The FTSE is lagging behind its EU and US peers and makes it very likely that we will see further growth in this index as well. The Death Cross, a classic sell signal, didn't materialize and we currently see strong momentum in the opposite direction. Last week's low at 8 290 attracted buyers, as the RSI was nearly oversold back then and we see this upward move extending further north into today as well. UK100 broke above the critical 61.8% Fib earlier today and this has served as a historic indication of momentum reversal. If the value holds above 8 320, which aligns with the important 38% Fib, it is very likely that it will find support at that level and retesting previous highs seems logical. We would prefer if the UK100 reached 8 390, where a Double Top would form. If this reversal pattern doesn't truly precede a drop, 8 450 might be the next top to retest.
