๐ง Setup & Trade Plan
Bullish Plan: Anticipating continuation from value area / liquidity sweep, confirmation of buyers.
Entry: Any favorable price level BUT Thiefโs preferred LIMIT LAYER entries (zone stacking) at:
๐ 10,160
๐ 10,180
๐ 10,200
(Precision entries for better R:R โ if price respects buyers here, odds tilt bullish.)
Stop-Loss (Thief SL): ๐ 10,120
(Adjust according to your risk tolerance โ trade safe, manage risk before entries.)
๐ฏ Profit Target
โ๏ธ Primary Target: 10,350+
Rationale: Potential reaction zone โ overlapped resistance, overbought divergences, correlation trap zone โ consider partial profit taking. (Not financial advice; scale out with structure.)
๐ Related Markets / Pairs to Watch
Monitoring correlations can help confirm trend strength and risk sentiment:
๐ GBP/USD
Weak GBP often boosts UK100 performance (many FTSE constituents earn overseas revenues).
Watch for strength/weakness sign changes around key levels.
๐ EUR/GBP & EUR/USD
Can signal broader risk shifts and GBP cross moves. Positive EUR/USD often reflects USD weakness which may align with equity strength.
๐ S&P 500 / US Indices
Global risk sentiment influence โ broad equity strength often lifts UK indices.
๐ Gold & Commodities
Risk-off lift in gold might signal equity hesitations โ use for context.
๐ Key Technical Notes
โ๏ธ Price zones respected โ layered demand strategy adds precision.
โ๏ธ Watch for structural breaks or topping tails on higher TFs for reversal cues.
โ๏ธ RSI / Stoch divergence tools can help confirm entry timing.
๐งพ Fundamental & Macro Factors
๐
Upcoming Events That May Influence FTSE 100:
UK economic data (GDP, inflation prints, labour stats) โ impact sentiment and monetary stance.
BOE interest rate expectations / policy bias โ can shift GBP & equity flows.
Major global macro events (Fed pivots, US job data, China trade cues).
(These drive broader risk flows and can swing indices fast.)
๐ Economic Influence:
UK100 has strong international revenue exposure โ GBP weakness often boosts FTSE returns as overseas revenue translates into stronger GBP earnings.
๐ Risk Management Reminder

Asset: #UK100 #FTSE100 ( TVC:UKOIL , FX:GBPUSD , OANDA:EURGBP )
๐บ๏ธ The Heist Plan Overview
Ladies & Gentlemen, Thief OG's! ๐๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ Welcome to the vault. Our plan is a calculated BULLISH swing trade on the UK100, triggered by a key breakout. We're not kicking the door down; we're waiting for the alarm to be disabled first.
Trade Bias: Bullish (Pending Order Plan) ๐
Strategy: "The Thief" Layering Entry (Minimizes risk, maximizes opportunity)
Key Level: 9,250.00 โ The Vault Door ๐ช
โก Execution Details (The How)
ENTRY CONFIRMATION: We only move after a CONFIRMED BREAKOUT above 9,250.00. โก
SET AN ALARM! {{ticker}} > 9250 - Don't miss the signal!
ENTRY METHOD ("The Thief" Layer Strategy): ๐ฏ
Instead of one risky entry, we use multiple BUY LIMIT orders placed below the breakout level to catch any retest. This is a sophisticated, risk-aware method.
Layer 1: 9,200.00
Layer 2: 9,225.00
Layer 3: 9,250.00 (Breakout Level Retest)
You can add more layers (e.g., 9,275) based on your capital & risk appetite.
STOP LOSS (The Escape Route): ๐จ
My SL: 9,150.00 (Place after your entry is filled).
โ ๏ธ IMPORTANT NOTE: This is MY plan. You, the Thief OG, MUST adjust your stop loss based on your own risk management strategy. Protect your capital.
TAKE PROFIT (The Escape with the Money): ๐
TP Target: 9,400.00
Why Here? This aligns with a major historical resistance zone, potential overbought conditions, and a classic bull trap area. Escape with your stolen profits before the market reverses!
โ ๏ธ IMPORTANT NOTE: You can choose to take partial profits earlier or trail your stop. "Make money then take money at your own risk."
๐ต๏ธโ๏ธ Why This Heist? (The Analysis)
This isn't a random guess. It's a plan backed by data.

FTSE closes in on 9.5KThe FTSE 100 (+0.7%) has continued to push higher along with other European indices. The UK benchmark index has actually hit a new record high today to close in on the 9,500 level. Distributor Bunzl (+4%) leads the blue chips while miners such as Fresnillo are also among the gainers amid rallying metals prices.
As we have been banging on about it, the FTSE remains in a strong bullish trend and dips are continuing to be bought with resistance levels giving way. Old resistance at 9,360 is now the most important short-term support to watch. Below that 9,270 is the next key level where a trend line converges.
By Fawad Razaqzada, market analyst with FOREX.com
FTSE 100 Index Closes at an All-Time HighFTSE 100 Index Closes at an All-Time High
Earlier, when analysing the chart of the UKโs FTSE 100 stock index, we outlined an ascending channel and anticipated a scenario with a continued upward trend and an attempt to establish a new historical high.
Since then:
โ The index has risen by almost 5%. The channel structure has shifted slightly, but not dramatically โ after adjustment, it remains relevant given the latest price dynamics.
โ Yesterday, the stock index climbed to 9,325, thereby setting an all-time high.
Bullish sentiment was supported by news of a shrinking public sector deficit and increased private sector output. How might the situation develop further?
Technical Analysis of the FTSE 100 Chart
From a bullish perspective:
โ The market remains in bullish territory.
โ The price successfully broke through the resistance zone at 9,180โ9,200 (in effect since late July).
โ The 0โ1 impulse was strong, signalling buyersโ dominance.
โ The price remains above the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the 0โ1 impulse, which may serve as support during a pullback.
โ Additional support could come from the green zone, where bulls were strong during the breakout above the 9,180โ9,200 resistance area.
From a bearish perspective: the upper boundary of the channel has confirmed its role as resistance. At the same time, peaks 1 and 2 have formed:
โ They show signs of a bearish Double Top pattern, creating bearish divergence with the RSI indicator.
โ The fact that the second peak is slightly above the first adds weight to the bearish case: this could have been a bull trap for late buyers, while in reality the rally may already be exhausted.
The ability of bulls to keep the price above the green zone may confirm the strength of the FTSE 100. Nevertheless, in the short term, scenarios involving pullbacks and retests of the mentioned support levels might be realised (as seen in early August, when the 9,040 level was tested in an aggressive manner).

FTSE UK100 Rebound: Navigating Fragile Markets & Resistance Zone๐ FTSE 100 Recovery in Focus: The FTSE 100 has bounced back ๐ after a sharp sell-off, showing signs of recovery. Here's a breakdown of the key points to consider:
๐ Recent Performance: After a steep 4.4% drop on Monday, the FTSE 100 rebounded by 1.9% (+144.29 points) to 7846.37. This recovery mirrors improved global market sentiment ๐, with indices like the Nikkei 225 surging 6% ๐ (source: Evening Standard).
๐ Market Sentiment: Analysts warn that the recovery remains fragile โ ๏ธ, with risks of volatility stemming from geopolitical tensions and trade concerns. However, bargain-hunting investors ๐ have supported the rebound by targeting undervalued stocks.
๐ Technical Levels: The FTSE 100 is climbing from multi-month lows, with momentum suggesting a potential test of resistance levels. But the rally's sustainability hinges on broader market sentiment and key economic data ๐ (source: Saxo Group).
๐ง Analyst Views: While the recovery is promising, some experts caution it could be a "dead cat bounce" ๐ฑ, where the rally fizzles out if negative news arises. This makes short-term trading decisions highly dependent on intraday developments.
๐ก Trade Setup: With the current momentum, a buying strategy for a day trade ๐ฏ targeting resistance levels may be more favorable than selling at the current level. However, traders must closely monitor intraday sentiment and technical indicators to manage risks effectively.
FTSE 100: Can April's Seasonal Surge Overcome Fiscal Tightening?๐ธ April: A Historically Bullish Month for the FTSE 100 ๐
Over the past 25 years, April has consistently been the strongest month for the FTSE 100, delivering an average return of 2.28% and boasting a 76% win rate. ๐ This seasonal strength is driven by several key factors:
๐ Earnings Season Momentum: April is a pivotal month for corporate earnings, with many FTSE 100 companies benefiting from a post-first-quarter earnings boost. ๐ผ
๐ท Fiscal Year-End Flows: UK-based funds often adjust their portfolios at the end of the tax year in early April, leading to a reallocation into equities. ๐
๐ธ Dividend Reinvestment: As a high-dividend-yielding index, the FTSE 100 typically experiences dividend reinvestment flows in April, further supporting stock prices. ๐
Despite the challenging macroeconomic environment, these seasonal drivers suggest that the FTSE 100 could maintain its historical trend of strong April performance. Notably, even in years with intra-period declines of up to 6.88%, the index has managed to deliver positive returns during this period. ๐ช
๐ฌ๐ง UK Fiscal Policy and Market Implications ๐ก
This year, the bullish seasonal trend for the FTSE 100 coincides with significant fiscal developments. On March 26, UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves delivered the Spring Statement, outlining measures to stabilize public finances amidst mounting economic pressures. ๐ According to the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), the UK is at risk of missing key fiscal targets, prompting the government to model spending cuts of up to 11%. Welfare programs and green investments ๐ฑ are expected to bear the brunt of these reductions.
Additionally, the Bank of England's stance on inflation remains a critical factor. ๐ Persistent inflation risks could lead to a more hawkish monetary policy, potentially weighing on rate-sensitive sectors within the FTSE 100. However, the index's strong seasonal pattern, driven by earnings momentum, fiscal year-end flows, and dividend reinvestments, provides a counterbalance to these headwinds. โ๏ธ
๐ฎ Outlook for April 2025 ๐
As of late March 2025, the FTSE 100 has shown resilience, with sectors such as energy โก and homebuilders ๐ leading gains ahead of the Spring Statement. While fiscal tightening and inflationary pressures present challenges, the historical strength of April, combined with supportive seasonal factors, suggests that the FTSE 100 could still deliver positive returns this month. ๐
Investors will closely monitor the impact of fiscal policy adjustments and the Bank of England's monetary stance as they navigate this critical period. ๐ง

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

Made in England.. FTSE 100 Triangle BreakoutFinally the long term triangle pattern in blue chip UK stocks has broken - and the weekly chart for the FTSE 100 index is looking very positive.
The breakout weekly candle is a long one with a close right near the highs - showing bulls are well in control of the market.
We can see the triangle break in more granular detail on the daily chart with the break confirmed on Thursday and a strong follow-through move on Friday.
Support is found first at the former all time high (8450-8475) then back at the broken trendline from the triangle pattern.
These support levels define our risk - the price back inside the triangle will inform us the breakout has failed - this time at least.
But if things move as we expect, using the height of the triangle pattern as a price objective from the breakout point, the UK 100 could reach 9,000.
But - as always - thatโs just how the team and I are seeing things, what do you think?
Share your ideas with us - OR - send us a request!
Comments welcome :)
