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.

UK 100 1. Positive Economic Data in the UK Recently, there have been signs of resilience in the UK economy, with some key data points supporting the bullish trend. For example: GDP Growth: The UK economy showed some signs of growth after initial post-Brexit slowdown. Even though growth has been slow, there's been recent evidence of recovery in sectors like services and manufacturing. Employment Figures: Unemployment in the UK has remained relatively low compared to other regions, which signals economic stability. Retail Sales & Consumer Confidence: Positive retail sales figures and a return of consumer confidence could support the broader market, especially with large consumer-facing companies in the FTSE 100. 2. Strong Corporate Earnings Many companies listed on the FTSE 100 are seeing strong earnings reports, particularly in sectors like energy, banking, and commodities. Energy Prices: As global energy prices remain elevated (e.g., oil and gas), companies in these sectors like BP, Shell, and other energy giants are benefiting, which is boosting the overall index. Banking Sector: UK banks like HSBC and Barclays have posted solid profits, benefiting from rising interest rates and increased lending activity, further bolstering the FTSE 100. 3. Global Market Trends A strong global market environment, particularly in the U.S. and other European markets, often has a positive effect on the UK market. Global equities have been performing well, supported by: U.S. Stock Market: If the S&P 500 or NASDAQ performs well, international investors often seek out UK equities as a way to diversify. European Stability: Stabilization in the EU economy or favorable trade deals with major partners can lead to more optimism in the UK, considering its trade relationships with the continent. 4. Monetary Policy in the UK Bank of England's Rate Decisions: The Bank of England has recently been cautious with interest rate hikes, and although interest rates are higher, there's a possibility of a more dovish policy if inflation starts to cool. A stable interest rate environment or even a pivot toward easing would help stocks thrive as borrowing costs decline. 5. Weakness in the British Pound (GBP) Currency Impact: The FTSE 100 is heavily weighted toward multinational companies that earn a significant portion of their revenue abroad. When the British pound weakens, these companies’ profits from overseas sales become more valuable when converted back to GBP. This tends to lift the FTSE 100, as investors look to benefit from stronger earnings in USD or other foreign currencies. 6. Geopolitical Stability Post-Brexit Sentiment: While Brexit has had long-term challenges, there is now more clarity around the UK's trading relationship with the EU and the rest of the world. The sense of stability around the UK’s position globally can contribute to stronger investor confidence. Global Geopolitical Environment: Stability in key geopolitical areas (for example, easing trade tensions or a more stable political climate in the U.S. and Europe) can have a positive spillover effect on markets worldwide, including the UK. 7. Sector-Specific Strength Energy and Commodities: Companies in the energy sector like BP, Shell, and mining companies such as Rio Tinto have been experiencing strong performance due to higher oil, gas, and commodity prices. Financial Sector: Strong earnings from UK banks, partly due to interest rate rises and a robust global financial environment, provide positive momentum for the FTSE 100. Tech & Consumer Staples: While technology and consumer staples represent a smaller portion of the index, large firms like Unilever have been performing well, contributing positively to the broader market. 8. Market Sentiment Optimism about Post-COVID Recovery: Even though the COVID-19 pandemic is less of a daily concern, the UK economy has been recovering from the effects of lockdowns. Optimism regarding long-term recovery and new economic policies can encourage investment in equities. Investor Confidence: Strong market sentiment, driven by easing recession fears and hopes for continued economic stability, often triggers a rally in major indices like the FTSE 100.

FTSE 100 Index May Reach 8500FTSE 100 Index May Reach 8500 As shown on the chart of the UK stock index FTSE 100 (UK 100 on FXOpen): → It has risen by over 3% in three days; → It is near the record high set in May last year and may reach the psychological level of 8500 points. Bullish sentiment has been supported by yesterday's news of GDP recovery – according to media reports, the economy grew by 0.1% in November 2024 (compared to a previous decline of 0.1%), primarily driven by the dominant services sector. Technical analysis of the FTSE 100 (UK 100 on FXOpen) chart shows that since mid-2024, the index has predominantly fluctuated within the 8000–8400 range, only briefly moving beyond it, which was accompanied by spikes in the RSI indicator. The current RSI level indicates strong overbought conditions, making the FTSE 100 (UK 100 on FXOpen) vulnerable to a pullback. Should this occur, it will provide important insights into the strength of demand. This could be assessed by the index’s ability to remain above the 8333 support level and the lower boundary of the ascending channel (marked in blue). Potential challenges for bulls are highlighted by MT Newswires, which report that analysts forecast higher inflation and weaker growth in 2025, amid expectations of a significant rise in labour costs.
