FTSE 100 Target reached. How to trade next.Only a month ago (January 03, see chart below) we gave a strong buy signal on FTSE 100 (UK100) right after it bottomed on its 1W MA50 (blue trend-line): As you see, the subsequent rebound hit our 8650 Target even quicker than we expected and the price now sits exactly at the top (Higher Highs trend-line) of the 3-year Channel Up. We will now proceed with the standard break-out or rejection strategy based on candle closing. If the index closes a 1W candle above the 3-year Channel Up, buy and target 9050 by May, which translates to a +13.40% rise from the Higher Low (December 16 2024) of the diverging (blue) Channel Up, similar to its first Bullish Leg. As long as the index doesn't close a 1W candle above the 3-year Channel Up, our next buy opportunity will be on the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line) again, a fair technical correction/ Bearish Leg. Again the Target will be 9050. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

FTSE 100: Breakout Confirmed—What’s Next for the Rally?The FTSE 100 has finally broken through to new all-time highs, but now comes the real test. Can momentum carry it even higher, or is a consolidation phase on the horizon? With the index in uncharted territory, let’s break down the key technical levels and sector performance driving this move. Structure Analysis: Why This Breakout Matters The FTSE’s recent price action has underlined the importance of structure analysis—the study of key support and resistance levels and how price reacts around them. At the start of the year, the index faced multiple layers of resistance. Several minor swing highs clustered around the 8,400 level, reinforcing the importance of this zone. Add in the May 2024 all-time high, and you had a significant technical barrier. That barrier was shattered in mid-January when the FTSE burst through resistance with strong momentum. However, what followed was even more important. Instead of a sharp pullback, the market consolidated near the highs, a clear sign that sellers were struggling to regain control. A brief one-day dip tested the broken resistance zone—but buyers quickly stepped in, turning old resistance into new support. That’s the hallmark of a strong breakout. Now, with the FTSE pushing into uncharted territory, traders are turning to Keltner Channels for guidance. The index has been using the upper Keltner Channel (a 2.25 ATR band around a 20-day EMA) as dynamic resistance. Meanwhile, the 20-day EMA and the broken resistance zone are providing support. This creates a well-defined range for swing traders and trend continuation setups—watching for either a clean breakout or another support retest. FTSE 100 Daily Candle Chart Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results Who’s Leading and Who’s Lagging? While the FTSE’s breakout is a broad-market story, not all sectors are participating equally. The rally has been powered by Financials (+11.68%) and Tech (+14.86%), two sectors that have historically struggled for leadership in the UK market. Their strength has been enough to offset weakness elsewhere. Meanwhile, Healthcare (+7.33%) and Industrials (+3.83%) have added steady support, while Energy (+2.82%) has held up despite recent weakness in oil prices. On the other end of the spectrum, Materials (-6.70%) and Real Estate (-6.31%) have been clear laggards. This suggests that materials and real estate stocks are struggling under the weight of higher interest rates and global growth concerns—factors that could continue limiting upside unless sentiment shifts. This divergence raises an important question: is there a rotation trade coming? If lagging sectors start to find support, we could see the rally broaden out, giving the FTSE further upside. If not, continued gains will depend on Financials and Tech holding their leadership role. UK Sector Snapshot (3-Month) Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results What’s Next? With the FTSE now testing dynamic resistance, the battle between trend continuation and consolidation is in full swing. If the index breaks above its upper Keltner Channel, momentum traders may look for an acceleration higher. If resistance holds, the broken 8,400 resistance zone and the 20-day EMA will be key levels to watch for potential support. Disclaimer: This is for information and learning purposes only.

FTSE 100 Index Wave Analysis 30 January 2025 - FTSE 100 Index broke resistance level 8450.00 - Likely to rise to resistance level 8800.00 FTSE 100 Index rising strongly after the earlier breakout of the resistance level 8450.00, which is the upper border of the weekly sideways price range inside which the index has been trading from the start of 2024. The price briefly corrected back to the price level of 8450.00 (which is acting as support now after it was broken). Given the multi-year uptrend on the weekly charts, the FTSE 100 Index can be expected to rise further to the next resistance level, 8800.00 (the target price for the completion of the active impulse wave 5).

4-hr UK100: Breaking Above the Multiple To Add 80 PointsFor the past 1 month, the UK100 saw a fantastic 600 point rally! The occasional corrections only attracted more buyers, which is healthy for the current up trend and the RSI currently exhibits elevated demand. A 130 point correction started last week on Friday, dipped below the 23% Fibonacci retracement, but held above the 38% Fib level, a critical support zone. Since then, we see a continuation of the bullish momentum, also confirmed by an earlier Golden Cross. Currently, the FTSE100 is sitting at a Multiple Top chart pattern. Historically, the more a resistance gets tested, the thinner it becomes and it eventually fails. The broader risk on sentiment also supports the hypothesis of further growth in the international equity markets. Should the UK100 break above the current multiple top it formed, we will target another 80 points to the upside.

UK 100 Index- Breakout or Fake Out Above Range Highs?While other UK markets, like GBPUSD or Government bonds have been under pressure recently, the UK 100 index has been outperforming due to its composition of multi-national companies. In fact, the fall in the GBPUSD exchange rate back towards 14-month lows (1.2099 Jan 13th) and a more dovish repricing of market expectations towards a Bank of England rate cut when they next meet in February have helped the UK 100 hit new all-time highs above 8,500. However, since the break higher last week, the index hasn’t exactly raced away as investors remain cautious around President Trump’s plans for global trade tariffs, tax cuts and spending. So, with that in mind let’s take a moment to analyse the potential upside and downside scenarios from this point by looking to what the Pepperstone charts and technical indicators show. Technical Update: Since the May 2024 highs, the UK 100 index has been caught within a choppy sideways price range, reflecting a search by traders for the next directional themes. This type of activity often suggests balance between buyers and sellers, with neither side dominant and able to overcome the other. In this set up, buying support is strong enough to hold and reverse price weakness back to the upside, while selling pressure continues to be found at the upper extremes of the range, which proves to be strong enough to reverse any price strength and prompt fresh declines. Within the UK 100 index, buyers have been found at lower range extremes marked by the trendline dating back to August 5th 2024 extremes at 7906. However, it was the downtrend from the May 2024 highs at 8477 that has highlighted the upper range extremes that have held previous attempts at price strength and prompted fresh weakness. This balance between buyers and sellers can remain for a prolonged period and it is only when one side is able to produce a successful closing break of either the support or the resistance, that the range ends and potential then turns towards a new trend. For the UK 100 index, January 17th may prove a breakout session, where buyers may have finally gained the upper hand, prompting closes above the upper extremes of the 8 month sideways range. Clearly, the question now is, does this represent a positive breakout, or a fake upside move? Historically, it could be suggested that previous upside breaks from similar sideways ranges, have resulted in further price strength. However, this is no guarantee of a similar move for the UK 100 index this time around, and much will still depend on future price trends. That said, the upside break and subsequent shift to new all-time highs this week may lead to a more sustained period of price strength, and ultimately the development of a positive trend. That said, it is possible within this type of technical pattern to see a ‘pullback’ to retest the old trendline, which having previously been a resistance area, potentially should now become a support zone. This currently stands at 8350, so it’s possible a correction in the price of the UK 100 index can still be seen back towards this level. However, it is important to note, any breaks and closes back under this support zone might suggest the latest push to new all-time highs was a false upside break, which could in turn lead to further price declines back into the recent range again.

FTSE BEAR AGAIN for free in 2025I have already sent out this Analysis on #FTSE previously so if you want to check out where target 2 is you should check those ideas out. Plus you can squeeze the chart down here so you can locate the Target structure... & entry for the for the BULL trade ... but now there is a viable short again... This could go much lower as detailed in a previous idea. Lets go #FTSE and yes it was a close call on the last #BEAR idea which was again correct but closed it for perspective on stops... (as you will see) even though we are clearly still in play for still the lower TP 3.

UKX - 8 months SYMMETRICAL TRIANGLE══════════════════════════════ Since 2014, my markets approach is to spot trading opportunities based solely on the development of CLASSICAL CHART PATTERNS 🤝Let’s learn and grow together 🤝 ══════════════════════════════ Hello Traders ✌ After a careful consideration I came to the conclusion that: - it is crucial to be quick in alerting you with all the opportunities I spot and often I don't post a good pattern because I don't have the opportunity to write down a proper didactical comment; - since my parameters to identify a Classical Pattern and its scenario are very well defined, many of my comments were and would be redundant; - the information that I think is important is very simple and can easily be understood just by looking at charts; For these reasons and hoping to give you a better help, I decided to write comments only when something very specific or interesting shows up, otherwise all the information is shown on the chart. Thank you all for your support 🔎🔎🔎 ALWAYS REMEMBER "A pattern IS NOT a Pattern until the breakout is completed. Before that moment it is just a bunch of colorful candlesticks on a chart of your watchlist" ═════════════════════════════ ⚠ DISCLAIMER ⚠ Breakout Area, Target, Levels, each line drawn on this chart and any other content represent just The Art Of Charting’s personal opinion and it is posted purely for educational purposes.
