FTSE 100 Pullback: Key Support Levels to Watch Last week, we flagged a potential pullback in the FTSE 100, and it came to pass – the market dropped 195.16 points (2.33%) to close at 8181.47.
Looking ahead, key support levels are just below the current market:
• First, the 8044 high we mentioned last week.
• Then, the August low at 7906.
• However, the critical levels to watch are the uptrend at 7775 and the 23.6% retracement from the October 2020 low, sitting at 7778.
These combined levels could provide significant support moving forward. Stay tuned!

UK100 Index Faces Resistance: Short-Term Pressure Ahead🚨 Market Update: The UK100 Index (FTSE) recently hit resistance around the July high of 8408, peaking at 8418. It’s now facing short-term pressure, with the daily RSI showing a divergence that signals a loss of upward momentum. Given this, we could see further declines, possibly slipping back to the 55-day moving average at 8234, or even towards the 2023 high of 8044.

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.

FTSE at a crossroad - Potential short term down play!Simple yet effective.
Given the earnings so far from FTSE came out negative and the broad relief rally / dead cat bounce, I expect global indices to fall next week.
Should 61.8% fib level break and close higher, we may very well see ATH for FTSE so trade carefully with a very tight stop loss.
We were waiting for the UK to reach our short postionEarlier today, we were waiting for the UK to reach the 5th of August at 8405. However we wait for the pull back toward 8393 that where we enter our short position. We set our stop loss at 8410. We are looking at the target ranges 8362-45. We also expect September, the UK will likely heading into bearish trend toward 8250 ranges.
FTSE 100 (ICE Europe) may fall to 8248.00 - 8284.00Pivot
8365.00
Our preference
Short positions below 8365.00 with targets at 8284.00 & 8248.00 in extension.
Alternative scenario
Above 8365.00 look for further upside with 8401.00 & 8433.00 as targets.
Comment
As long as 8365.00 is resistance, look for choppy price action with a bearish bias.

UK100 Maintains Bullish Momentum as Key Support Holds FirmHello Everyone,
The UK100 has maintained a steady bullish trend, recently reaching our target of 8399.4. Looking ahead, the bullish momentum is expected to continue. The 8225.064 level, previously a strong resistance, has now turned into solid support, further reinforcing the positive outlook. While some fluctuations are possible, they are currently less likely to significantly disrupt this upward trajectory.

FTSE100 Recovers Sideways RangeU.S. and European stock markets have staged a significant rebound on Wednesday, with gains between 3% and 6% from the lows of “panic Monday” in early August. The Nasdaq 100 has led the gains on Wall Street, up 6.5%, while the S&P 500 is up 5.1%. However, both indexes continue to show losses so far this month. Slowing inflation has bolstered bets for a September rate cut, while Flutter and Playtech stocks have stood out with strong gains following positive news. In Europe, the EuroStoxx 50 has advanced 3.4%, but is still down 3% in August. The European market faces key technical resistance for its recovery.
In the United Kingdom, the FTSE 100 (Ticker AT: UK100) closed higher yesterday for the fourth consecutive session, boosted by softer inflation data in July that has raised expectations that the Bank of England could cut interest rates at its next meeting. Both the FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 are up 0.6% and 1%, respectively, reaching two-week highs. Interest rate sensitive sectors, such as housebuilders, have led the gains with a 3.4% rise. However, industrial metals miners have fallen nearly 1% due to an unexpected decline in Chinese lending. British trade balance, GDP, industrial and manufacturing production, and investor sentiment data are released today. If the results exceed expectations, they could boost the index further, signaling a possible tentative recovery in the UK economy.
Looking at the chart, the index is currently at 8,282 points, following the upward movement initiated on August 7 after the candle of indecision on August 6, which has marked the continuation trend to the average of the annual uptrend. At the moment the price resistance coincides with a drop in the RSI towards oversold, we will see if the price is able to pierce the 8,411.15 points. Currently the Control Point (POC) is located in the area of 8,200 points. If the price pierces again, it is very likely that the market will try to encourage a new bull market as is happening with the U.S. market at the moment.

Overcoming Self-doubt and Pushing ForwardHow did I overcome self-doubt & push forward towards my goals? I wanted to share my personal journey on how to pick yourself up when self-belief falters:
1️⃣ Acknowledge the feeling: It's okay to have moments of self-doubt. I've learned that recognizing and accepting these emotions is the first step towards overcoming them.
2️⃣ Reflect on past successes: Reminding myself of the goals I've already achieved and the obstacles I've overcome boosts my confidence. I've done it before, and I can do it again!
3️⃣ Break goals into smaller steps: When overwhelmed, I break my big goals into smaller, manageable tasks. Progress on these smaller milestones fuels motivation and keeps me moving forward.
4️⃣ Seek support & encouragement: I reached out to friends, mentors, and my trading community for support and encouragement back in the day. Surrounding myself with positive influences helps me regain perspective and self-belief.
5️⃣ Embrace the learning curve: Instead of dwelling on setbacks, I view them as valuable learning experiences. Every challenge is an opportunity to grow and refine my approach.
6️⃣ Visualization & positive affirmations: I visualize myself achieving my goals with clarity and conviction. Positive affirmations reinforce my belief in my capabilities and attract success. PS: I also dismissed this voodoo at the beginning. Trust me, don't.
Remember, it's normal to have moments of doubt, but they don't define you. Embrace the journey, draw strength from within, and persist with determination. Trust in yourself and your abilities to reach those goals!

Elliott Wave Intraday Analysis: FTSE should Continue HigherShort Term Elliott Wave in FTSE suggests that the index has completed a bearish sequence from 5.15.2024 high. The decline made a zig zag Elliott Wave structure. Down from 5.15.2024 high, wave A ended at 8106.79 low. Rally in wave B ended at 8405.24 high with internal subdivision as a expanded flat structure. Up from wave A, wave ((a)) ended at 8279.75 and wave ((b)) ended at 8056.01. Wave ((c)) higher ended at 8405.24 which completed wave B in higher degree.
Then, FTSE turned lower in wave C with internal subdivision as an impulse structure. Down from wave B, wave ((i)) ended at 8158.03 low and wave ((ii)) ended slighly up at 8174.71 high. Wave ((iii)) lower ended at 7972.35 and wave ((iv)) ended at 8024.83 high. Final leg wave ((v)) ended at 7915.94 low which completed wave C and (4) in higher degree. The current rally is in progress expecting to continue higher as wave (5). Near term, we are calling an impulse structure as wave ((i)) from wave (4) low. This wave ((i)) should be completed very soon and we are expecting a retracement in 3, 7 or 11 swings as wave ((ii)) before resuming the rally. The view is valid as price action remains above 7915.94 low.
