UK100 - Expecting The Price To Drop Lower FurtherHi Traders, on March 11th I shared this "UK100 - Looking To Sell Pullbacks In The Short Term"
We expected to see correction prior to the bearish continuation. You can read the full post using the link above.
Price is moving as per the plan!!!
Based on the current scenario my bearish view still remains the same here.
We have bearish divergence in play based on the moving averages of the MACD and I expect the price to drop lower further until the strong resistance zone holds

FTSE INTRADAY awaits BoE MPC The FTSE 100 index could see some volatility today as the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting is set for 12:00 London time. The central bank is expected to keep the benchmark rate at 4.50%. Earlier today, UK jobs data showed the ILO Unemployment Rate remained steady at 4.4% for the three months to January.
The FTSE 100 index is currently exhibiting a neutral sentiment, as evidenced by the prevailing sideways consolidation. The primary focus remains on the key resistance level at 8745, which corresponds to the current intraday swing high. Alternatively the downside is supported at 8616. This levels are critical as they determine the next directional move of the index.
Key Support and Resistance Levels
Resistance Level 1: 8745
Resistance Level 2: 8770
Resistance Level 3: 8834 - 8910
Support Level 1: 8616
Support Level 2: 8505
Support Level 3: 8352

A BUY of FTSE at last week's lowHere is why we are buying this pair at 8635.
1) It is well supported by last week's low
2) There was a big pattern last week to buy at the same area. This level is being retested.
3) There is a small pattern to buy right now (Although not clear on this platform)
4) M15 divergence in place.
Stops is about 40 pips.
UK100 GOING UP?!Good day traders, my analysis shows that the price will head up but we need some few confirmations first before that
The previous trend was a bearish trend and price failed to create new lower lows and we had our Change of Character/Trend. Price broke above our CHoC giving us a New higher high which shows that buyers are more than sellers, causing price to head up
We broke above the New high and now the price is "Retracing" before it continues it's bullish movement, the best thing to do would be to wait for a bullish candlestick on the Zone(new high) before buying
FTSE INTRADAY capped by 8715The FTSE 100 index is currently exhibiting a neutral sentiment, as evidenced by the prevailing sideways consolidation. The primary focus remains on the key resistance level at 8715, which corresponds to the current intraday swing high. This level is critical as it determines the next directional move of the index.
From the current levels, an oversold rally could potentially emerge, leading to a retest of the 8715 resistance. A bearish rejection from this level would reinforce the downtrend, paving the way for a move towards the 8500 support. Further downside momentum could extend losses to the next support levels at 8440 and 8352 over a longer timeframe.
On the other hand, a confirmed breakout above 8715 on a daily closing basis would invalidate the bearish outlook. In such a scenario, the index is likely to experience renewed buying interest, targeting the next resistance at 8770, followed by a potential rally towards the 8834 and 8910 level.
Conclusion:
The overall sentiment for the FTSE 100 remains bearish unless a decisive breakout above the 8715 resistance occurs. Traders should monitor price action around this critical level for confirmation of either a continuation of the downtrend or a potential bullish reversal.

UK100 - Trade IdeaHi all,
Here we have a strong Counter Trend setup, in my own opinion it looks to be very strong with no resting Liquidity sitting higher telling me price will want to chase for that sell side Imbalance.
It is a counter trend setup so its a high risk to high reward but could be worth the trade.
Ill be keeping my eyes on this for the close future to see how Price Action develops.
Good luck if you decide to follow this trade idea
Cheers
FTSE 100 Wave Analysis – 17 March 2025
- FTSE 100 reversed from key support level 8425.00
- Likely to rise to resistance level 8832.00
FTSE 100 index recently reversed up from the key support level 8425.00, a former strong resistance from last year, which has stopped multiple upward impulses from May to December as can be seen from the daily FTSE 100 chart below.
The support level 8425.00 was strengthened by the lower daily Bollinger Band and by the 50% Fibonacci correction of the sharp upward impulse from December.
Given the clear daily uptrend, FTSE 100 index can be expected to rise to the next resistance level 8832.00 (which reversed the previous waves 3 and b).

FTSE INTRADAY bearish oversold bounce backThe FTSE 100 index is currently exhibiting a bearish sentiment, as evidenced by the prevailing downtrend. The primary focus remains on the key resistance level at 8638, which corresponds to the current intraday swing high and the falling resistance trendline. This level is critical as it determines the next directional move of the index.
From the current levels, an oversold rally could potentially emerge, leading to a retest of the 8638 resistance. A bearish rejection from this level would reinforce the downtrend, paving the way for a move towards the 8520 support. Further downside momentum could extend losses to the next support levels at 8476 and 8327 over a longer timeframe.
On the other hand, a confirmed breakout above 8638 on a daily closing basis would invalidate the bearish outlook. In such a scenario, the index is likely to experience renewed buying interest, targeting the next resistance at 8693, followed by a potential rally towards the 8760 level.
Conclusion:
The overall sentiment for the FTSE 100 remains bearish unless a decisive breakout above the 8638 resistance occurs. Traders should monitor price action around this critical level for confirmation of either a continuation of the downtrend or a potential bullish reversal.

THE IMPORTANCE OF TREND FOLLOWINGMost people tend to not check the overall trend not knowing that could potential be a danger to their trades and account
If the overall trend is a downtrend(making lower lows and lower high)- you should look only for selling entries especially if you trade bigger time frames(M15 to upwards). However it's not that simple or everyone would be making millions of dollars lol.
when you check the overall trend you should make sure the swing lows and high are clear, strong and the bearish/bullish pressure(volatility) should also be strong and clear if one of these is missing
then it's best to stay away from the market or you'll become liquidity for other trades😂
so all in all, combine your Trend following with liquidity and market volatility.
UK100 about to drop again?good day traders, our past trades were a success and as you can see UK100 is repeating the same pattern again, meaning we are anticipating another drop, I won't explain much because it's simple and clear analysis that is self-explanatory. all I can say is wait for a candle rejection and enter

FTSE100 INTRADAY , previous support - new resistance at 8760The FTSE equity index currently shows a bearish sentiment, driven by the breakdown of the long-term prevailing uptrend. The recent oversold bounceback is attempting to retest major resistance at 8760, which marks the intraday swing high and aligns with the falling resistance trendline.
Key Support and Resistance Levels
Resistance Level 1: 8760 (intraday swing high and falling trendline resistance)
Resistance Level 2: 8837
Resistance Level 3: 8900
Support Level 1: 8565
Support Level 2: 8476
Support Level 3: 8327
Bearish Scenario
If the oversold rally is met with a bearish rejection at the 8760 resistance level, it would reaffirm the bearish outlook. This could trigger a decline targeting the 8565 support level, followed by further downside movement toward 8476 and 8327 over the longer timeframe.
Bullish Scenario
Alternatively, a confirmed breakout above 8760 resistance and a daily close above this level would invalidate the bearish bias. This scenario could set the stage for further rallies, with potential upside targets at 8837 and ultimately 8900.
Conclusion
The FTSE index exhibits a bearish continuation setup, with the 8760 resistance level being crucial. A rejection at this level could prompt a renewed move lower, while a breakout would signal bullish momentum and open the way for further gains. Traders should watch for decisive price action around 8760 to determine the next directional bias.
