PineScript v6: Conditional Expressions from Libraries
I thought it appropriate to make some quick notes on calling conditional expressions from PineScript v6 libraries, seeing as I have recently updated all of my libraries to v6 and most of my function exports output booleans or values that are ultimately derived from other functions that output booleans.
When calling functions in v6 that output booleans or values derived from other functions that output booleans, it is best practice to first declare the function return globally before you use said output as input for anything else.
For example, instead of calling my swing low and uptrend functions (which both return booleans) as part of a broader conditional expression:
//@version=6
indicator('Example Conditional Expression 1')
import theEccentricTrader/PubLibSwing/3 as sw
import theEccentricTrader/PubLibTrend/2 as tr
uptrend = sw.sl() and tr.ut()
plotshape(uptrend)
I would first declare the function returns as global variables and then call the broader conditional expression using said variables:
//@version=6
indicator('Example Conditional Expression 2')
import theEccentricTrader/PubLibSwing/3 as sw
import theEccentricTrader/PubLibTrend/2 as tr
sl = sw.sl()
ut = tr.ut()
uptrend = sl and ut
plotshape(uptrend)
This demonstrates different behaviour from v5, where you could combine functions that output booleans in conditional expressions without error or warning.
The same also applies to functions that output values derived from other functions that output booleans. In the example below, my swing low price and bar index functions output float and integer values, respectively, but these values are derived from the swing low function, which is a function that returns a boolean. So these return values should also be first declared globally for later use, just like the swing low and uptrend functions:
//@version=6
indicator('Example Conditional Expression 3', overlay = true)
import theEccentricTrader/PubLibSwing/3 as sw
import theEccentricTrader/PubLibTrend/2 as tr
sl = sw.sl()
ut = tr.ut()
slp_0 = sw.slp(0)
slpbi_0 = sw.slpbi(0)
slp_1 = sw.slp(1)
slpbi_1 = sw.slpbi(1)
if sl and ut
line.new(slpbi_1, slp_1, slpbi_0, slp_0, color = color.green)

FTSE 100 Wave Analysis – 16 May 2025
- FTSE 100 broke the resistance level 8650.00
- Likely to rise to resistance level 8800.00
The FTSE 100 index recently broke the resistance level 8650.00, which stopped the previous medium-term impulse wave (1) at the start of this month.

Trendline Break Continuation The price has been on a bullish trend and broke a larger trendline, now we see a smaller trendline as a continuation, followed by a pullback and now the price looks to make a bullish impulse at a higher high
WE ONLY TRADE PULLBACKS
FTSE100 INTRADAY sideways consolidation supported at 8454The FTSE 100 is showing bullish momentum, supported by an ongoing uptrend. Recent price action suggests a breakout above a period of sideways consolidation, indicating strong buying interest.
Key Support: 8454 – This was the previous consolidation zone and now acts as a critical level.
If the index pulls back to 8454 and holds, it may resume the uptrend with potential upside targets at:
8650 (near-term resistance)
8730, then 8825 (longer-term targets)
Bearish Scenario: A daily close below 8454 would weaken the bullish case and could lead to a decline toward:
8373 (next support)
Then 8272 and possibly 8100 if selling pressure increases
Conclusion:
The FTSE 100 remains bullish above 8454. Watch for a bounce from this level to confirm further upside. A break below would shift the outlook to bearish in the short term.

UK100 FTSEWhat is UK100?
UK100, commonly known as the FTSE 100 Index or the Footsie, is the United Kingdom’s premier stock market index. It tracks the performance of the 100 largest and most highly capitalized blue-chip companies listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE). The index is capitalization-weighted, meaning companies with larger market caps have a greater influence on the index’s movements.
As of March 2025, the FTSE 100 had a total market capitalization of approximately £2.12 trillion.
The index includes many internationally focused companies, so its performance is influenced by global economic factors and currency exchange rates, not just the UK economy.
Does Bond Yield Affect UK100?
Yes, bond yields significantly affect the FTSE 100 in several ways:
Rising UK government bond yields (gilts) increase borrowing costs for companies, which can reduce profits and weigh on stock prices, including those in the FTSE 100.
Higher bond yields also make fixed-income investments more attractive relative to equities, potentially causing capital to flow out of stocks and into bonds, putting downward pressure on the index.
Conversely, falling bond yields lower borrowing costs and often encourage investment in equities, supporting the FTSE 100.
Bond yield movements are also influenced by monetary policy expectations, inflation outlook, and fiscal policy, which indirectly impact stock valuations.
Recent volatility in German and UK bond yields has caused ripple effects in the FTSE 100, reflecting concerns about interest rates and economic outlook.
Major Companies That Make Up UK100 (Selected Key Constituents)
The FTSE 100 includes companies from various sectors such as banking, energy, healthcare, consumer goods, and industrials. Some of the largest and most influential companies by market capitalization as of 2025 include:
Company Sector Approx. Market Cap (2025)
AstraZeneca Healthcare £190+ billion
Shell Energy £185+ billion
HSBC Holdings Banking & Financials £130+ billion
Unilever Consumer Goods £100+ billion
Rio Tinto Mining & Materials £95+ billion
BP Energy £85+ billion
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Healthcare £75+ billion
Diageo Consumer Goods Large-cap
Barclays Banking & Financials Large-cap
British American Tobacco Consumer Goods Large-cap
The FTSE 100 covers 20 industry sectors, with Banks, Health Care, Industrial Goods & Services, and Energy sectors making up about 50% of the index’s total capitalization.
Summary
What is UK100? The FTSE 100 Index, tracking the 100 largest UK-listed companies by market cap
Bond Yield Impact Rising yields increase borrowing costs and attract capital to bonds, often pressuring stocks; falling yields support equities
Key Companies AstraZeneca, Shell, HSBC, Unilever, Rio Tinto, BP, GSK, Diageo, Barclays, British American Tobacco
In conclusion, the UK100 (FTSE 100) is a major UK stock market index heavily influenced by global economic factors, including bond yields. Movements in UK government bond yields affect corporate borrowing costs and investor asset allocation decisions, thereby impacting the FTSE 100’s price action. The index is dominated by large multinational companies across diverse sectors, making it a broad indicator of UK-listed blue-chip performance

UK100 Bulls Charging – Will They Breach 8,490 or Stall?Price is currently consolidating just below the 8,490 🔼 resistance after a strong bullish rally.

Resistance at: 8,490 🔼, 8,625 🔼, 8,729 🔼
Bias:
🔼 Bullish: A confirmed breakout above 8,490 could trigger a continuation toward 8,625 and 8,779.
🔽 Bearish: Rejection at 8,490 or break below 8,378 could initiate a drop back to 8,165 or lower.
📛 Disclaimer: This is not financial advice. Trade at your own risk.
FTSE INTRADAY Resistance retestThe FTSE 100 Index remains in a bearish structure, with recent price action confirming a break below the prior consolidation zone, indicating potential for further downside.
Key Resistance: 8380 – former support turned resistance, aligning with the intraday consolidation area.
Support Levels:
8113 – near-term target if bearish momentum continues
7960 and 7850 – medium to long-term downside objectives
An oversold bounce may occur, but unless price breaks and closes above 8380 on the daily chart, the bearish outlook remains intact.
Conversely, a confirmed breakout above 8380 would invalidate the bearish bias and open the path to test 8455, with 8485 as a secondary resistance.
Conclusion
The FTSE bias is bearish below 8380. Watch for a rejection at that level to confirm downside continuation. A daily close above 8380 would shift the outlook to bullish.
