May look to take new shorts on a backtest of the breakout point.

We are looking at 6450 here

Possible 123 high formation breakout on this currently??


dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4899609/ftse2ndnov2016.png

I tend to agree although I like to look ahead of where a reversal may take place just so I'm ready ... IMO we are in for a big move either way my gut feeling is the downside just with the bearish divergence on the daily and the fact its well oversold but I wouldnt be suprised at a quick spike beforehand hence my chart idea

A pullback and reversal is possible Rich, but i think its dangerous to short these indices atm, they look technically bullish, but things can change quickly....

I think buying the dips is the correct position atm.
For shorts maybe wiser to wait for a sell signal like a lower low, or drop below support....with bullish markets, it's safer not to try and catch the top, but some of the p/b, with a entry when the momentum is with a down move.....

I see a good potential short for what its worth

I think RC is correct, next leg up coming up here.

inv h&s on weekly.



Another weekly here, pivot level breaks, and looks like a bullish crossover of moving ave's coming up.




At the top of the channel trendline, so needs to break above, but it looks like a bull flag imvho.
Buy the dips for now, keep bullish outlook imho.....



atb, good weekend c/viewers!!

The monthly candles look mental. Also took a loss trading the FTSE & S&P today. Interesting times..

Must say i'm suprised where the Ftse has gone, i'm out of my trade at loss, and it seems like Brexit is something good in investors eyes at least, if you look at weekly chart we've got inverted head and shoulders pattern

I'm shorting Ftse at 6300 with stop above recent high

ftse looks like its developing what looks suspiciously like a bear flag to me...

ATB, wdik, dyor.
Trendfriend.

Im gonna short this at 6450 with a 40 point stop. This area has a lot of resistance so expect this to turn back down on first attempt.The 61.8 fib from high is at 6500 so worth keeping an eye on that as well.
If you look carefully at the fib levels you can see the ftse has respected those key levels on the way back up.


dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4899609/ftse19thapril2016.png

I would very surprised if this went any higher.
Looks to be right at the top of the channel.
Time to be super cautious with long ftse, and stock positions now imho..

atb, and wdik....

What's your target Remo?

Thanks

Keep an eye out for a breakout . The area to watch is
the 200ema which is at 6230, but id go long if it goes
past the recent high at 6237.
The fact that this is hanging around the resistance area means its possibly building strength and increases the chance of a breakout.
im going long at 6240 with a 40 point stop


dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4899609/ftse10011thapril2016.png

its best to stay out of new longs until a 123 low has formed on the ftse 100

Technical confirmation of a bear market is a 20% drop in the index.(Although fwiw it could be argued we were in bear market sine june/july 15??)
We got that on the ftse 100 today when we fell below 5700 today. possibly another 20% from here??

Ftse looking extremely bullish, weekly closed abv 7000, now i want to see monthly confirm abv...

Here is the yearly chart as it takeaway all the noise... i posted this chart up on here abt 2 years ago....

notice the points and the fib ratio's.

any pullback to 6980/6960 (6830 stops, initially to give breathing space n scale it up) need to buy em for multi month and possible to end of year swing....

also see short term bottoming action in gold and oil, so should help ftse jack up.

wow - im suprised no mention of ftse abv 7000 today

Play what you see Cynic. Ignore the noise. After all that's what charts are for, leave the fundamentals to one side.

Greece action is just temp volility, think many will be shocked how high the markets will rise over the next year or so.....

New job , means less time to spend here, will try to put up some charts...

'so what's to be cheery about?'

It's friday and i'm going to the pub in 20 mins?

...given all of the below the markets are still going up, even the rejection of the greece proposal yesterday only caused 100 point blip on dow so there is stilla massive bullish undercurrent. Some thing like that in 2011 would have caused a 500+ drop.

The below are all fundamentals anyway, don;t worry about those ...i've come to the impression that the media just use those to try and explain whats happened in the charts (see them trying to pass off a near 2000 point dow drop on fears of ebola in sept/oct, yet Europe potentially falling apart only causes 100 point drop)....I think the charts drive the news now, with the media deciding a stories relevance and how much air time to give it based by how much action happened to be going on in the market at the time!...maybe that's taking things a bit far but then maybe after a pint i'll be declaring it as de facto

"so what's to be cheery about?"

I woke up this morning and I'm still above ground!

Psst! You don't have to trade the ftse: there's masses of trades out there.

Best plan? Investigate; line 'em up; hit 'em; and smile

i admit only to being a professional numpty and i accept that you guys generally trade the trend

however, i confess to being much more bearish than the markets seem to indicate
greece has bought itself some time, but most assuredly that problem has not gone away
ukraine looks to be steadily deteriorating, and no one really knows how that will pan out even over the next couple of months
chinese economy is undoubtedly slowing down which has significant to severe consequences for many sectors
collapsed oil price is fine for consumers in the short term, but is severely impacting the investment capabilities of a number of countries as well as wreaking havoc with international trade
general election is imminent, which in itself brings uncertainty - something that markets dislike greatly - following which uk will almost certainly have some kind of weak coalition led by one uninspiring nonentity or another, supported by similar lieutenants

so what's to be cheery about?

Is this finally going to break 6930???

Going to watch closely @ 6930, during market hours....
Long above 6930, mid term target 7500(ish).

Short if it breaks stay below.... target 6400(ish)

key level approaching.....

dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/40497882/Fts...0_%20daily_dec14.PNG

needs to recharge

Break above 6773 and this could test high of 6905

Well, indices looked like they were stalling after such a nice run but now seen very bullish:



Weekly is right on resistance on both Price and RSI. 6865 next resistance, but



Daily broke out Friday on both. Next resistance 6878

The US indices are showing similar signs. No time to go short IMO.

123 high breakout on 4H chart

Indices showing signs of weakness - be cautious with your long positions

Short @ 6770
SL above 2 - above 6795

Well it made the target of 6700. I'm expecting a pull-back anytime soon before another upward move.

dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7238706/FTSE...281Hnov142014%29.png

This is now showing signs of weakness, so time to take profits and wait for the pull-back to around the 6340 before getting long again. I'm a bit of a coward so I'm out early

This should be a buy btween 6425-6450 with a target of 6700.

IMO Monday could prove to be a good day for those looking to go long or close shorts or both, stocks and indices alike. Here's why:

FTSE as noted here
S&P 500 is a smidgen away from 1900
DOW is a smidgen away from 16500
Russell's 2000 is a smidgen away from 1050
Fear is at a high. It has been a long while in soft markets
US reporting season starts in earnest this week (this could be key)
Cyclicals. In the past October has been good for a good retrace before the Xmas rush

After Friday's US close, expect fear in Asian and EU markets Monday. I think US will dip and bounce in the pm.

Enough froth has been skimmed maybe? It may just be temporary if EU data does not pick up but it has the potential to be a telling one.

My views only (Or second guessing the markets!)

Double bottom on daily chart!!! RSI divergence

Trading range breakout to the downside

Be careful with long positions
