FTSE 100 Setup: Time to Go Long on This LSMA Breakout?🎯The UK100 "Capital Flow Heist" Blueprint 🚀 (Swing Trade Setup)
Buckle up, Thief Crew! 🏴☠️ We're plotting a bullish swing trade on the UK100, aiming to catch the next leg up. This isn't financial advice; it's a strategic blueprint for those who know how to handle the risk!
📈 The Master Plan (Analysis)
The strategy is simple: We're waiting for a confirmed bullish LSMA (Least Squares Moving Average) breakout to signal that the buyers are officially in control. This is all about timing the momentum shift and riding the wave.
⚙️ Trade Mechanics (The Heist Parameters)
Asset: UK100 (FTSE 100 Index)
Direction: Bullish
Style: Swing Trade
🎯 Entry Zone:
Action: Enter a LONG position on a confirmed candlestick close ABOVE the LSMA breakout level.
Level: 9560.0 (This is our launchpad! 🚀)
🛑 Stop Loss (The Escape Route):
Level: 9400.0
Thief's Note: This is my planned escape route. Place your SL where you are comfortable. Protect your capital like a pro! 💼
✅ Take Profit (The Loot Drop):
Level: 9750.0
Why Here? This zone represents a confluence of:
A strong historical resistance level.
Potential overbought conditions.
A classic bull trap area — so we grab our profits and exit stage left! 🎭
⚠️ Important Note from the OG: Dear Ladies & Gentlemen of the Thief Guild, I am not recommending you set only my SL or TP. It's your capital, your rules. You can make money, then take money at your own risk. Be a boss of your own trade. 😎
🔍 Related Pairs to Watch (The Intel)
To get a full picture, keep these assets on your radar. Movements here can influence our UK100 heist:
GBP/USD ( PYTH:GPUSD ): A stronger Pound can sometimes pressure the FTSE 100 (as many companies are multinational). Watch for inverse correlations.
US30 ($DOWI) / GER40 ( XETR:DAX ): Key global indices. Strong bullish moves in the US or German markets can often pull the UK market along for the ride.
EUR/GBP ( OANDA:EURGBP ): Economic dynamics between the UK and the Eurozone can cause capital flows in and out of UK assets.

FTSE 100 Is starting a brutal 2026 Bear Cycle.Last time we looked at FTSE 100 (UK100) was 3 months ago (September 19, see chart below) where we gave a strong buy signal at the bottom of its 7-month Channel Up, which methodically hit our 9700 Target:
This time we are switching to the longest time-frame possible, the monthly (1M) as a key development has taken place. We switch our long-term stance to bearish as the index almost hit last month the top of its 16-year Channel Up, which started at the bottom of the 2008 U.S. Housing Crisis, and closed a very volatile November candle flat.
The use of the Sine Waves make the picture even clearer as they point out almost exactly every major Cycle Top since the 2008 Housing Crisis (5 such Cycle including that). And we are on one of them.
At the same time, the index also hit the top of the 5-year Channel Up that started shortly after the COVID crash bottom. Every correction (Bear Cycle/ Bearish Leg) within this pattern hit the 1M MA50 (blue trend-line) and rebounded. With the exception of the COVID flash crash which even broke below its 1M MA200 (orange trend-line), every other Bear Cycle since June 2012, hit the 1M MA100 (green trend-line) and rebounded.
As a result, we are expecting 2026 to be a strong Bear Cycle for FTSE, hitting at least its 1M MA50 at 8400, which is the bottom of the COVID Channel Up as well as the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level of the post 2008 Channel Up.

FTSE100 post-Budget rally: Inverse Head & Shoulders eyes 9800Chancellor Reeves unveiled tax rises worth £26 billion annually by 2029-30 but showed fiscal discipline by committing to reduce government spending as a share of GDP each year and more than doubling the fiscal headroom buffer to £21.7 billion, reassuring bond markets still scarred by the Liz Truss mini-budget crisis.
With gilt yields falling, sterling at its best level since October, and a Bank of England rate cut expected in December, the macro backdrop supports further upside for Footsie, though sticky inflation and OBR growth downgrades remain headwinds.
Key drivers:
UK Budget introduces tax rises totalling £26bn annually by 2029-30 via threshold freezes, mansion tax, and dividend levies, but spending will decline as a share of GDP each year, calming government borrowing concerns and sending gilt yields lower.
Fiscal headroom buffer more than doubled to £21.7bn (from £9.9bn last year), giving bond vigilantes confidence that the debt trajectory is sustainable.
Sterling rallied above 1.32 towards 1.33 on lower borrowing risks, while FTSE 100 gained, led by financials.
Bank of England expected to cut rates 25bp in December, supporting equities, though sticky inflation and OBR growth downgrades are headwinds.
Technical setup : inverse head and shoulders with neckline/support at 9,630 (38.2% Fib), measured move and Fib confluence target 9,800 (between 61.8% and 78.6% retracement).
Trade idea : Entry on pullback to 38.2% Fib (9,630), stop below previous low (9,434), target 9,800, for 2:1+ risk-to-reward.

The end of crypto being an alt investment?If ever there was evidence that crypto has become normalized and absorbed into mainstream institutional behaviour—moving more like a unified asset class and less like a collection of wild outliers—this is it.
Across four randomly selected coins with very different purposes and market caps ( COINBASE:BTCUSD - top left, COINBASE:XRPUSD - top right, COINBASE:SOLUSD - bottom left and BINANCE:TRXUSD - bottom right):
2 out of 4 ranged 35–40% in an almost identical pattern over the same period
3 out of 4 ranged 35–48% in an almost identical pattern over the same period
4 out of 4 ranged 20–48% in an almost identical pattern over the same period
These similarities raise the question: are we now past the era of:
Huge, isolated crypto swings?
Crypto consistently moving counter to the S&P, FTSE and other indices?
Crypto acting as a true alternative asset class?
Not quite.
Yes, institutional capital is now clearly in the market, but how crypto behaves still depends heavily on how those institutions manage their allocations.
Crypto remains capable of sharp, counter-intuitive moves—but with less of the explosive upside (or catastrophic downside) that defined the early years. Crypto volatility is likely to be lower than before—but still far above that of major indices or mega-cap equities (the “Apple/Google/Amazon equivalents” of traditional markets). And crucially, crypto can still move counter to the stock market, as shown in the second image where BTC (and most major coins) fell while equities rallied.
This also leads us to the following - the three investor archetypes now dominating crypto:
The Whales – Formerly wealthy early adopters, but now overwhelmingly institutional players. Their capital, risk management structure and access to liquidity eclipse everyone beneath them.
The Sharks – Yesterday’s whales. Powerful enough to cause volatility and trigger widespread stop-loss cascades, but no longer able to dictate the market the way they once could.
The Nemos – Retail investors, small and scattered, swimming in the wake of the larger fishes while trying (often desperately) to “find Dory*.”
At the same time, crypto has shown increasing correlation with stock market trends—particularly between April and October—further evidence of institutional influence and a sign that crypto is becoming mainstream, integrated, and less viable as a true alternative asset class capable of life-changing returns (or losses).
Notes:
* Dory: Alpha – mythical, elusive, and mostly found in pixel form (cinemas, and charts on social media trading apps :-) ).
