Turmoils in the UKThe British benchmark index is in a rapid decline.
However, the market tends to simply "slip through" only in exceptional conditions, which I do not currently see in the overall market. There is a chance that there will be a short-term reversal at the March 2023 lows .
We place the SL a bit below the low so that we get a reasonable CRV of 3:1 .
In the longer term, it is likely that the FTSE will head for the area around 6,850 . There is a lot of liquidity down there and it wants to be cleared.
Therefore, there is also a short setup in the chart.

FTSE 100 Drops Below June LowEarlier we wrote about the reasons for the weak behavior of the UK stock market.
Firstly, it is the highest inflation among the G7 countries.
Yesterday JP Morgan analysts suggested that the base rate in the UK could be raised to 7% under certain scenarios. And the likelihood of a hard landing for the British economy next year is rising due to the impact of rising borrowing costs on business confidence and rising unemployment.
Secondly, this is a decline in commodity prices, which is important for the FTSE 100 index, where the share of oil and mining companies is relatively large. Commodity prices reflect expectations of a global economic growth outlook that has been overshadowed by news from China. There, according to the latest data, activity in the services sector in June grew at the slowest pace in 5 months.
At the same time, the FTSE 100 chart gives hope to the bulls, as the price of the index is at the level of the lower line of the descending channel (shown in red), which, it is possible, will show support properties for the FTSE 100, which may lead to a slowdown in the fall or even a short-term rebound.

FTSE Elliott Wave Analysis Higher Timeframe (01/07/2023)A pullback in the higher timeframe seems likely. We have 5 waves up as an impulse in the weekly and daily. However, as divergence in the weekly is not really outspoken, a new high is still possible. Investors should wait for the pullback to buy. Traders should analyze the lower timeframe.
