FTSE uptrend resistance at 9285The FTSE remains in a bullish trend, with recent price action showing signs of a corrective pullback within the broader uptrend.
Support Zone: 9195 – a key level from previous consolidation. Price is currently testing or approaching this level.
A bullish rebound from 9195 would confirm ongoing upside momentum, with potential targets at:
9285 – initial resistance
9346 – psychological and structural level
9438 – extended resistance on the longer-term chart
Bearish Scenario:
A confirmed break and daily close below 9195 would weaken the bullish outlook and suggest deeper downside risk toward:
9133 – minor support
9100 – stronger support and potential demand zone
Outlook:
Bullish bias remains intact while the FTSE holds above 9195. A sustained break below this level could shift momentum to the downside in the short term.

FTSE Reignites Uptrend After PullbackA key characteristic of uptrends is broken resistance turning into support. Last week’s price action on the FTSE 100 showed clear evidence of this, with buyers defending the prior breakout zone.
Let’s take a look at the potential trigger levels that could fuel momentum, as well as the red flags traders should keep on the radar.
Daily Chart: From Breakout to Retest
The FTSE broke to new highs in August after spending several weeks consolidating in a tight range. The breakout was followed by a sustained but orderly pullback that carved out a descending channel. As the market retested that old range, buyers stepped back in and forced prices back above the channel, keeping the broader uptrend intact.
Interestingly, there were subtle price action clues before the breakout even occurred. On Tuesday 2nd September, the index sold off sharply in the morning but closed well off its lows, leaving behind a hammer candle that signalled selling exhaustion. The next day produced a bullish hammer contained within Tuesday’s range, forming an inside day pattern that hinted at pressure building. That combination of exhaustion and contraction set the stage for the breakout that followed.
UK100 Daily Candle Chart
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results
Hourly Chart: VWAP as the Battleground
If we drill down into the hourly candles, the detail helps refine market timing. Anchoring a VWAP to last week’s lows highlights the average entry point for traders who powered the FTSE’s recovery. That line now acts as a battleground: if price slips back beneath it, bullish momentum traders should be on alert.
In terms of entry triggers, last week’s swing high becomes a key pivot. A clean break above this level would confirm that buyers are back in control and could fuel another leg higher towards the August highs. Until then, the VWAP support zone remains the level to watch for signs of dip buying.

FTSE100 What is the FTSE 100?
The FTSE 100 Index (Financial Times Stock Exchange 100 Index), also called the "Footsie," is the UK’s leading stock market index. It represents the 100 largest companies listed on the London Stock Exchange by market capitalization. These companies cover a wide range of industries including finance, energy, healthcare, consumer goods, and more.
The FTSE 100 is widely regarded as a barometer of the overall health of the UK stock market and economy. It is capitalization-weighted, meaning larger companies have more influence on the index's movement. Examples of major constituents include Shell, HSBC, AstraZeneca, and Unilever.
How Do GB 10-Year Bond Yield (GB10Y) and Bank of England Interest Rate Affect FTSE 100?
1. GB 10-Year Government Bond Yield (GB10Y)
The 10-year UK government bond yield reflects long-term interest rates and investor outlook on inflation and growth.
Rising bond yields typically increase borrowing costs for companies, which can reduce profit margins and dampen stock prices, negatively affecting the FTSE 100.
Higher yields also make bonds more attractive relative to stocks, potentially leading investors to reallocate funds away from equities like the FTSE.
Lower bond yields make borrowing cheaper and bonds less competitive, boosting stock valuations and supporting the FTSE 100.
2. Bank of England (BoE) Interest Rate
The BoE’s interest rate influences short-term borrowing costs, consumer spending, and business investment.
An increase in the BoE rate usually raises loan and mortgage costs, slowing economic growth and often putting downward pressure on the FTSE 100.
Conversely, a rate cut or stable low rates encourage borrowing and spending, generally supporting equities including the FTSE 100.
The BoE’s rate decisions also signal monetary policy direction and economic outlook, impacting investor sentiment.
Summary
The FTSE 100’s performance is closely linked to UK bond yields and BoE interest rates. Rising GB10Y yields and higher BoE rates tend to pressure the FTSE by increasing costs and diverting investment to bonds. Lower yields and accommodative BoE policy usually support higher FTSE valuations by lowering costs and boosting investor confidence.
These UK economic factors, combined with global market trends and currency fluctuations (like GBP strength), shape the FTSE 100’s market dynamics.

Title: FTSE 100 - Bouncing Off Lower Channel BoundaryThe price of the FTSE 100 has reached the lower boundary of a major ascending channel, which is a strong support level. Historically, the price has demonstrated a strong bounce from this area, which makes the current entry point potentially attractive.
Key Factors:
Channel Support: The price is resting on the lower boundary of a clear ascending channel.
Historical Bounce: The price has historically rebounded from this level, confirming its significance.
Idea: During the next 4 hours, I expect the price to bounce from the current level and move towards the median line of the channel.

Bears in full charge on UK100My first post here so, bare with me. I trade the uk100 with the broker Tradenation. The past few days and especially last week we had high bearish movements, establishing new lower lows. seems it hasnt run out of steam just yet. trendlines and support/resistance lines waiting to be broken or bounced off of. all eyes on UK100for the next couple of days to see a continuation downtrend, or a possible break into a new upward trend making newer ATH. Trade the range, wait for the open morning breakout of the first 1 hour candle, establish high, low, wait for the test, breakout and enter trades. goodluck to every single trader here.
FTSE100 surges to records despite CPI surprise but can it last?The FTSE 100 has surged to a new all-time high, defying expectations after UK inflation surprised to the upside at 3.8%. This resilience can be attributed to renewed global interest in undervalued UK stocks, particularly defensives, as investors anticipate a potential end to the BOE’s easing cycle in 2025 due to persistent price pressures.
The market remains sensitive to global cues, with attention turning to the upcoming Jackson Hole symposium. A more hawkish tone from the Federal Reserve could reinforce risk aversion and further boost the FTSE’s appeal as a relative safe haven, while a dovish Fed may see flows return to US equities, posing a conditional risk to the FTSE’s rally.
From a technical standpoint, the FTSE 100’s recent breakout places immediate focus on the 9,367–9,400 resistance zone, which marks the upper boundary of the latest upward channel. A sustained daily close above 9,400 could open the door to further upside, targeting the psychological 9,500 level next.
On the downside, initial support is seen at 9,200, with a break below there potentially exposing the 9,050–9,000 area for a deeper pullback. Traders should watch for confirmation of direction at these levels, as volatility may increase around key macro events.

FTSE 100 grinds higher, momentum slowsThe FTSE ran into resistance at 9360, its record high, before rebounding lower to 9100. The price has recovered from this low and it is grinding higher, guided by the rising trendline and the 20 SMA, but the RSI points to slowing momentum, warranting caution.
Should momentum pick up, buyers will look to extend gains towards 9360 and fresh record highs.
Minor support is at 9200. Below here, the 50 SMA comes into focus at 9100. A break below here opens the door to 8890 to negate the longer-term uptrend.

FTSE Challenges Key Resistance - Breakout or False Dawn?UK100 Technical Analysis: 🇬🇧 FTSE Challenges Key Resistance - Breakout or False Dawn? 🌅
Asset: UK100 (FTSE 100 Index CFD)
Analysis Date: September 5, 2025
Current Closing Price: 9,222.0 (as of 11:54 PM UTC+4)
Timeframes Analyzed: 1H, 4H, D, W
Executive Summary & Market Outlook 🧐
The UK100 is testing a critical technical and psychological resistance zone between 9,200 and 9,250. 🚧 This level has acted as a significant barrier in the past. The index is in a near-term uptrend but remains in a broader multi-month consolidation phase. A decisive breakout above 9,250 could signal the start of a new bullish leg, while a rejection here would reinforce the range-bound narrative and trigger a pullback. This analysis provides a clear roadmap for intraday 🎯 and swing traders 📈 navigating this pivotal level.
Multi-Timeframe Technical Analysis 🔍
1. Trend Analysis (Daily & 4-Hour Chart):
Primary Trend: 🟡 Range-Bound (Neutral). Price is trapped within a larger consolidation rectangle between ~8,800 and 9,250.
Short-Term Trend: 🟢 Bullish. The recent rally from the 9,000 support has been strong, bringing price to the upper boundary of the range.
2. Key Chart Patterns & Theories:
Range-Bound Consolidation 📊: The dominant pattern is a large rectangle. The current test of the range high (~9,250) is a make-or-break moment. A breakout would be significant, while a rejection is a classic range-trading signal.
Elliott Wave Theory 🌊: The move off the recent low looks corrective (3 waves), suggesting it may be a B-wave or part of a larger consolidation pattern within the range. This reinforces the importance of the 9,250 resistance.
Ichimoku Cloud (H4/D1) ☁️: Price is trading just above the Cloud on the daily chart, indicating a tentative bullish bias. However, the Cloud is relatively flat, reflecting the lack of a strong trend. A clear break above 9,250 would see price move decisively above the Cloud.
Wyckoff Method: The price action could be interpreted as part of a potential re-accumulation phase near the top of the range. A breakout on increasing volume would confirm this.
3. Critical Support & Resistance Levels:
Resistance (R1): 9,220 - 9,250 (Key Range High & Technical Ceiling) 🚨
Resistance (R2): 9,400 (Projected Target if breakout occurs)
Current Closing Price : ~9,222
Support (S1): 9,100 - 9,150 (Immediate Support & 21-period EMA) ✅
Support (S2): 9,000 - 9,050 (Major Range Support - Must Hold) 🛡️
Support (S3): 8,800 (Ultimate Range Low & 200-day EMA)
4. Indicator Consensus:
RSI (14-period on 4H/D): Reading is near 62, in bullish territory but not yet overbought. This suggests there is room for further upside if buyers can maintain control. A bearish divergence here would be a strong sell signal.
Bollinger Bands (4H) 📏: Price is pressing against the upper band, a sign of strong short-term momentum. A rejection here could see price move back towards the middle band.
Moving Averages: The 50 and 200-day EMAs are flat, confirming the range-bound nature. The 21-period EMA on the 4H chart is key short-term dynamic support.
Volume & VWAP: A breakout above 9,250 needs to be confirmed with a significant increase in volume to be trusted. Low-volume breakouts are often false.
Trading Strategy & Forecast 🎯
A. Intraday Trading Strategy (5M - 1H Charts):
Bearish Scenario (Range Rejection Play) ⬇️: This is a classic range trade. Fade the resistance with a short position.
Entry: On clear rejection signals at 9,240-9,250 (e.g., bearish pin bar, engulfing pattern).
Stop Loss: Tight, above 9,270.
Target: 9,150 (TP1), 9,100 (TP2).
Bullish Scenario (Breakout Play) ⬆️: If price breaks out with conviction, wait for a pullback for a better entry.
Entry: On a pullback to re-test 9,220-9,230 as new support.
Stop Loss: Below 9,200.
Target: 9,350 (TP1), 9,400 (TP2).
B. Swing Trading Strategy (4H - D Charts):
Strategy: RANGE TRADING OR BREAKOUT WAIT. The most logical play is to trade the range until it breaks.
Ideal Long Zone: Near the 9,000 - 9,050 support area. ✅
Ideal Short Zone: Near the 9,220 - 9,250 resistance area. ✅
Breakout Strategy: A daily close above 9,270 would be a strong buy signal targeting 9,400+. A daily close below 8,950 would be a strong sell signal.
Risk Management & Conclusion ⚠️
Key Risk Events: UK economic data (GDP, CPI, BoE decisions) and GBP volatility are key drivers. 🔥 As a heavily international index, the FTSE is also highly sensitive to global risk sentiment and commodity prices (particularly oil and mining stocks).
Position Sizing: Trading within a range requires tight stop losses. Ensure your position size allows for a stop placed just outside the range boundaries without incurring excessive risk.
Conclusion: The UK100 is at a critical juncture. ⚖️ The battle between the bulls and the bears is concentrated at the 9,220-9,250 resistance wall. Until a decisive break occurs, the range-bound strategy is favored. Swing traders should be patient for entries near support or a confirmed breakout. Intraday traders can fade the range extremes. The next major move will be dictated by the resolution of this level. 📊
Overall Bias: 🟢 Bullish above 9,270 | 🔴 Bearish below 8,950 | 🟡 Neutral/Range-Bound between 9,000-9,250

No clear break of UK100 yetTRADENATION:UK100
Good morning my fellow traders!
uk100 price still within its downward trend range, currently rising but seems to have hit some consolidation around the 9150 - 9155 area.
