$GBIRYY - CPI (YoY)ECONOMICS:GBIRYY 2.3% (April/2024) source: Office for National Statistics The annual inflation rate in the UK eased to 2.3% in April 2024, the lowest since July 2021, compared to 3.2% in March and market forecasts of 2.1%. The largest downward pressure came from falling gas (-37.5% vs -26.5% in March) and electricity (-21% vs -13%) cost, due to the lowering of the Office of Gas and Electricity Markets (Ofgem) energy price cap in April. At the same time, prices slowed for food (2.9%, the lowest since November 2021 vs 4%) and recreation and culture (4.4% vs 5.3%). On the other hand, the largest, partially offsetting, upward contribution came from cost of motor fuels. The average price of petrol rose by 3.3 pence per litre between March and April 2024 to stand at 148.1 pence per litre, up from 145.8 pence per litre in April 2023. Prices also rose faster for restaurants and hotels (6% vs 5.8%) and miscellaneous goods and services (3.6% vs 3.4%). Compared to the previous month, the CPI rose 0.3%.

UK100 FTSE100 - ABC Correction Uderway?Hello Guys, The yearly Candle is slightly Bullish - but we did not see a break on a closing base of the crucial 7900 area -> ATH. A Retest of this area would constitute a Bullish setup - which I would be happy to be part of after the last rallye. Q2 Close - Doji -> might see a consolidation phase from here with a sideways to down mentality - considering the recent gains the bulls had. The monthly Bias is Bearish. A Bearish Engulfing Pattern (Although a small one) has been formed. The Stochastic confirms a Bearish Bias - not totally contradicting the higher Timeframes! So Bulls be prepared for some drop… Just an idea from my side. A Double Top at 8400 would be a strong sign of Bears being back. -> For the bulls 7900 has to hold - for the bears 8400. Thats all for now… Thanks for reading

United Kingdom GDP (QoQ) ECONOMICS:GBGDPQQ Great Britain officially entered in Recession due to Two Consecutive Negative Quarters. The British economy contracted 0.3% on quarter in Q4 2023, following a 0.1% decline in Q3, worse than market forecasts of a 0.1% fall, preliminary estimates showed. The economy entered recession amid a broad-based decline in output, namely in services (-0.2%, the same as in Q3), particularly wholesale and retail trade (-0.6%); industrial production (-1% vs 0.1%), mostly manufacture of machinery and equipment (-7%) and construction (-1.3% vs 0.1%). On the expenditure side, there was a fall in exports (-2.9% vs -0.8%), imports (-0.8% vs -1.8%); household spending (-0.1% vs -0.9%), particularly lower spending on recreation and culture, miscellaneous goods and services, and transport; and government consumption (-0.3% vs 1.1%), namely lower activity in education and health. Those falls were partially offset by an increase in gross capital formation (1.4% vs -1.4%), mostly other buildings and structures. Considering full 2023, the GDP in the UK edged up 0.1%. source: Office for National Statistics

$GBIRYY -CPI (YoY)The inflation rate in the United Kingdom remained stable at 6.7% in September 2023, holding at August's 18-month low and defying market expectations of a slight decrease to 6.6%. Softer price increases in food and non-alcoholic beverages (12.1% vs 13.6% in August) and furniture and household goods (3.7% vs 5.1%) were offset by a smaller decline in energy costs (-0.2% vs -3.2%) on the back of a monthly rise in motor fuel costs. Moreover, the core inflation rate, which excludes volatile items such as energy and food, dropped to 6.1%, reaching its lowest point since January but slightly exceeding forecasts of 6%. Both of these figures have remained significantly above the Bank of England's 2% target, further emphasizing the mounting inflationary pressures in the country and complicating further the task for policymakers who are expected to keep interest rates unchanged at the upcoming meeting. On a monthly basis, the CPI rose by 0.5% in September, the most substantial increase since May. source: Office for National Statistics

The RICS UK House Price Balance - Trending Up For Now The RICS UK House Price Balance (Released this Thursday 14th Mar 2024 for Feb month) The Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) House Price Balance is a monthly survey that indicates whether more or less surveyors expect housing prices to rise or fall in the U.K. housing market. A positive net balance suggests house price increases, while a negative net balance implies price decreases. The RICS provides valuable insight into the UK housing markets trend and helps gauge the direction of house price movements whilst also offering insight into consumer spending. The Chart The RICS House Price Balance is calculated as the proportion of surveyors reporting a rise in housing prices minus the proportion reporting a fall in prices. It reflects the expected monthly change in national house prices. Positive vs. Negative Net Balance: A positive net balance indicates that more surveyors expect price increases, signaling a robust housing market. A negative net balance implies that more surveyors anticipate housing price decreases, indicating a fragile housing market. Green Area 🟢 = More Surveyors Reporting an Increase in House Prices Red Area 🔴 = More Surveyors Reporting an decrease House Prices Grey Areas ⚫️= Recessions ▫️ The RICS fell sharply from April 2022 down to the 0% level in Oct 2022. This was a leading indication of a downward trend UK House market prices (falling from 78% in Apr 2022 to 0% in Oct 2022). ▫️ The RICS fell into the red zone from Oct 2022 forward indicating that houses prices from this date were in net decline (per surveyors responses). ▫️ Almost 12 months later the RICS reached a low of -66% in Sept 2023. Since this date we have started to trend upwards sharply recovering from -66% to -18.4% today. However we remain in net negative territory indicating house prices are still in declining but not as much as before, a change of trend may forming indicating a move to house price appreciation (not confirmed until we move above the 0% level into + territory). ▫️ The Historic Recession Line on the chart illustrates the -63% level which crossed by the RICS at the onset of the 1990 and 2007 recessions (grey areas on chart). We recently penetrated this level moving to -66% in Sept 2023 which historically does not bode well. This weeks RICS release will be very revealing and could tell us if we have a continuation of the upward trend for UK House prices or if we we remain firmly in negative territory. Lets see what Thursday brings, a fascinating little metric to help us keep an eye on the property market in the UK and the to get an idea of UK consumer behavior. PUKA

British pound is ready for a new fall!In last post, I drew your attention to the problem of the UK public debt. The situation there is critical... It is logical to expect that the problem with public debt will lead to a weakening of the pound. High inflation, high key rate, high budget deficit relative to GDP are fundamental factors that will put pressure on the GBP. According to technical analysis, the situation is also negative. We saw a false exit of the GBP/USD pair beyond 1.24, and now we should expect a fall to the level of 1.18 - which is support. If such a scenario is realized, a bearish “head and shoulders” pattern will form on the chart, which implies a further medium-term drop to 1.11.

Bitcoin : Be Ready for the next moves Good Day Everyone Bitcoin's Consolidation at 28/28.5k Areas Suggests Possible Retest of 25k Areas Bitcoin, the world's most popular cryptocurrency, has been consolidating in the 28/28.5k areas for some time now. This consolidation phase suggests that a possible downside move may be in the cards, with the 25k areas being the likely target for a retest. One of the key indicators that support this bearish scenario is the RSI (Relative Strength Index), which is currently in overbought territory on the daily timeframe, with readings above 60 points. This level of RSI typically suggests that an asset is due for a corrective move. Furthermore, the wave 5, which was previously discussed, is now completed, and any further extension would require a breakout above the 29k areas. However, the current price movements and volume do not seem to support such an upward move anytime soon. Given the current market conditions, the best trading strategy, in my opinion, would be to sell around the 28.4/28.5k areas, with a stop-loss set above 29k. For those trading on leverage, it is advisable to use a low leverage of 3-5x maximum to minimize potential losses. Overall, while there is still some uncertainty in the crypto market, the consolidation phase at the 28/28.5k areas and the overbought RSI suggest that a corrective move may be imminent, with the 25k areas being a likely target for a retest. As always, it is crucial to stay up-to-date with the latest market developments and adjust trading strategies accordingly. Good Luck And Have A Nice Weekend

FTSE going to beat major indices and close the year in gains?The FTSE100 index (FTSE100) has resumed its bullish trend since the October 13 bottom after hitting both the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) and 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) on December 20. In fact, against all odds during this inflation crisis and in contrast to its heavy stock index counterparts, it is about to close the year in gains (if it stays above the 7420 level this week). Practically, the index has been within a huge Rectangle pattern in 2022, ranging within 7700 and 6710. If that's not impressive enough, it just completed a Golden Cross on the 1D time-frame (when the 1D MA50 crosses above the 1D MA200), which is technically a bullish formation. Last time we saw this pattern was on December 02 2020, as the index was recovering from the COVID crash globally. The price made a Low exactly at the time of the Golden Cross and started a very sustainable rise pattern. What adds more weight to a bullish continuation, is the fact that the RSI on the 1W time-frame tested and held the former Lower Highs trend-line that was in effect through the majority of 2022. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, SUBSCRIBE ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

UK policy announcements fuels rally against the greenbackEUR/USD 🔼 GBP/USD 🔼 AUD/USD 🔼 USD/CAD 🔽 USD/JPY 🔼 XAU 🔼 WTI 🔽 The new UK chancellor has scrapped more tax cuts in the "mini-budget", and slashed its energy subsidies. Although the new administration's grip on authority remains tenuous, the British Pound and Euro significantly managed to bounce back against the US dollar. GBP/USD reached a high of 1.1431, then retreated to 1.1353, while EUR/USD rose over 100 pips and closed at 0.9838. Stocks also improved upon a return of risk appetite. The three major indices rebounded with notable gains, the biggest earner being the Nasdaq 100, which increased 370 points (+3.46%) to 11,062. Dow Jones and S&P 500 also added 1.86% and 2.65% respectively. AUD/USD climbed and stabilized at 0.629, and the Reserve Bank of Australia maintained that moderate rate hikes are likely needed to control inflation. USD/CAD plunged almost 170 pips to 1.3709, and USD/JPY traded higher to a 32-year high of 149.03. A weaker dollar sees the gold price last trading at $1,650.67 after a high of $1,666.4 an ounce.

Europe&Japan to perform better than USA from now on, 3-UKComparision of "FTSE (UKX) in USD dollars" to "SPX". I am publishing the same for all (please see my other analysis): Germany, UK, Japan. I ignore all the fundamentals and only make technical analysis. Fall of EUR&GBP&JPY and their stock market's negative divergence compared to USA (SPX) is about to end, I believe. Important: This doesn't mean that the equities&indices are going to rise from now on. My analysis only says: Europe&Japan will perform better than USA. Just because they are very cheap.

Double-digit inflation for the UKEUR/USD ▶️ GBP/USD 🔽 AUD/USD 🔽  USD/CAD 🔼  XAU 🔽  WTI 🔼 As the Governor of the Bank of England warned months prior, the UK CPI has recorded a 10.1 increase, compared to the market estimate of 9.8%. Such a high reading is not seen for four decades, and the British central bank is likely to bring more rate hikes to tame the raging inflation, possibly slowing the economy in the process. As a result, GBP/USD declined and stabilized at 1.2047. Though the Fed meeting minutes are fairly dovish, the subsequent lower CPI data continues to increase bets for another 50 or 75 bps bump in the interest rate. The greenback rallied against its peers, USD/CAD rose to 1.2909, moving further toward the 1.3000 level. Meanwhile, EUR/USD was little changed at 1.018, Eurozone CPI for July will be announced this afternoon. The Aussie suffered from falling iron prices and slid to a closing price of 0.6932, as the latest employment change results showed more than 400,000 people in Australia are no longer employed in a supposedly compact labor market. Gold futures broke through 1,780 to 1,776.7 with minor fluctuations, extending its weakened run. US Crude Oil Inventories were reduced by over 7 million barrels, and a tightened supply moved WTI oil futures slightly higher to $88.11 a barrel, after meeting resistance at $88.00.

Brent Crude Oil 1-day classic patternsQ: What has the highest probability of occurring? Since February 2021 price has been stabilising on $65 per barrel. There is a combination of 2 classic patterns forming at 65.00 support. The inverse head & shoulders, which is in the process of forming the right shoulder, is currently invalid. This pattern projects 85.25 as the target. The double bottom, having recently tested and rejected 65.00, would need to breakout from 76.50 to be validated. This pattern projects 52.00 as the target. Objectively looking at 65.00 support the two high volume bars appear to be putting the weight in favour of the formation of the double bottom following the ~15% correction. Since the double bottom is not validated so the current position is neutral with a bias in favour of the uptrend continuing. It is worth paying attention to the high of the left shoulder at ~72.00 and how the bulls and bears interact as validation of the double bottom is required at 76.50
