FTSE 100 Daily Technical Analysis & Setups

Tuesday 14 April 2026 — FTSE 100 Daily TA & Intraday Setups
Data: Close 13 April 2026 · UKX: ~10,582 (-0.17%) · Futures: ~10,614 (+0.15%, Investing.com)



MARKET OVERVIEW

FTSE 100 closed Monday at 10,582, down 17 points (-0.17%), pressured by Middle East tensions after the weekend collapse of US-Iran talks and a planned US naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Oil majors (BP +0.96%, SHEL +1.34%) outperformed on the crude bid. Miners were firm weekly (ANTO +10%, AAL +7.06%, RIO +2.75%) as copper and iron ore held. UK banks gave back some of last week's strength into Monday's close but remain higher week-on-week (BARC +7.4%, STAN +9.26%, NWG +7.29%, HSBA +5.06%). Defensives mixed — pharma firm (AZN, GSK, HSBA context) while staples weak (ULVR, DGE still basing).

Today's overnight futures indication is marginally positive (~+0.15%), but the Iran deadline is the swing factor — risk-on bias only holds if crude stays stable.

Monday 13 April 2026
Data: Close 10 April | UKX: ~10,601 | Futures: ~10,614-10,648 (mixed; oil stocks bid higher, broad market under pressure)

Source: FTSE 100 Futures via Investing.com, TradingView, IG | Scanner: ChartsView webhook (20 stocks)

CRITICAL MACRO EVENT: US-Iran peace talks collapsed Saturday in Islamabad after 21+ hours. Trump ordered a US naval blockade of all Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz from 10am ET Monday (3pm BST). Brent crude surged 7-8% to ~$102-103/bbl. European shares primed to open ~1.5% lower according to Bloomberg. Oil and gas names (SHEL, BP) will buck the trend -- expect significant gap-up. Defence (BAE) may recover. Risk-off for growth and consumer names.



NOTABLE CHANGES (Day-over-Day: 9 Apr to 10 Apr)

CPG -- Crossed BELOW EMA20, crossed BELOW POC. Week: -6.13%. RSI swung +41.2 pts over the week (volatile). Bearish breakdown developing.

BAE -- Crossed BELOW EMA20, MACD BEARISH crossover. Fell -2.82% on Friday -- the biggest single-stock decliner in the scanner. Defence weakness into the weekend.

ANTO -- Big move: +3.4%, crossed ABOVE POC. Week: +9.21%. Mining strength continuing.

ABF -- Crossed ABOVE EMA50, crossed ABOVE POC. Recovering.

DGE -- Crossed ABOVE EMA20 for the first time -- potential base formation after extended decline.

WPP -- Crossed ABOVE EMA20. Restructuring news (potential PR arm sale) providing catalyst.

INF -- Crossed ABOVE EMA20.

HLN -- MACD BEARISH crossover. Watch for follow-through weakness.

SGE -- 4-day down streak. Persistent selling pressure.

Weekly standouts: BARC +7.8%, STAN +7.66% (banks surging), ANTO +9.21% (mining).



SECTOR HEATMAP

STRONG -- Oil and Gas (SHEL, BP): Both Bull above all EMAs. Hormuz blockade is a major bullish catalyst for Monday. SHEL MACD fading into Friday but geopolitical premium will override technicals. Expect gap-up opens.

STRONG -- Mining (RIO, GLEN): Both Bull above all EMAs. GLEN near 52w high (-2.3%). RIO surging with MACD bullish. ANTO +9.21% for the week. Sector leadership clear.

STRONG -- Pharma (AZN, GSK): Both Bull above all, MACD bullish. Defensive bid likely to strengthen on Monday's risk-off session. AZN only -3.1% from 52w high.

STRONG -- Banking (HSBA): Bull above all. BARC and STAN posted +7.8% and +7.7% weekly gains respectively. Sector momentum.

MIXED -- Defence (BAE): Just crossed below EMA20 with MACD bearish crossover. -2.82% Friday. However, the Hormuz escalation could reverse this weakness on Monday.

MIXED -- Utilities (NG): Bull above all, defensive. Steady but not exciting.

MIXED -- Industrials (RR., ADM): Both Bull above all but RR. fell -1.03% with recovering MACD. ADM fading slightly.

MIXED -- Tobacco (BATS): Below EMA20 and EMA50. Neutral RSI. Stuck in a range.

WEAK -- Consumer Staples (ULVR): Bear below ALL EMAs. RSI 31.1 approaching oversold. MACD bearish. -21.9% from 52w high. Oil price spike will pressure margins further.

WEAK -- Tech/Data (III, EXPN, REL): All Bear below all EMAs. Risk-off Monday will hurt these names further. III -40.2% and EXPN -37.2% from 52w highs.

WEAK -- Consumer (RKT, DGE): Both weak. RKT bear below all. DGE just recovering but still below EMA50 and EMA200. Higher oil is a consumer headwind.

TOP SWING TRADE SETUPS

1. SHEL -- Oil Spike Play (Geopolitical Catalyst) -- NEW

Shell closed at 3412, just above EMA20 (3409.86), Bull above all EMAs. MACD is above signal but fading -- however, the Hormuz blockade changes the calculus entirely. Brent crude surging 7-8% to $102+ will gap SHEL higher on Monday. This is a NEW catalyst not reflected in Friday's data.

Entry: 3450-3470 (above Friday's high of 3449, confirming gap-up strength) Stop: 3380 (below Friday's low and EMA20) T1: 3525 T2: 3591 (52w high) R:R: 1:1.6
Confluence: 4/5 -- Trend (bull), catalyst (Hormuz), momentum (RSI 53 = room to run), structure (above all EMAs), POC above.
Risk: If Hormuz situation de-escalates rapidly, oil reversal could be sharp. Use trailing stop once T1 hit.


2. BP -- Oil Spike Play (Higher Beta) -- NEW

BP at 571.9, Bull above all EMAs. Higher beta oil play than SHEL. MACD fading slightly but same Hormuz catalyst applies. BP has more room to the 52w high (609.4, 6.2% away).

Entry: 579-582 (above Friday's high of 579.4) Stop: 564 (below EMA20 at 563.54) T1: 595 T2: 609 (52w high) R:R: 1:1.7
Confluence: 4/5 -- Trend, catalyst, structure, POC above.
Risk: BP is more volatile than SHEL on oil moves. Position size accordingly.


3. RIO -- Mining Momentum Continuation -- CONTINUING

RIO at 7339, Bull above all EMAs, MACD bullish (114.41 vs signal 22.57 -- strong expansion). RSI 64.1 -- bullish but not overbought. Only -3.1% from 52w high. ANTO +9.21% for the week shows mining sector bid remains strong.

Entry: 7375-7400 (above Friday's high of 7375) Stop: 7230 (below Friday's low) T1: 7500 T2: 7575 (52w high) R:R: 1:1.2
Confluence: 4/5 -- Trend, momentum (MACD expanding), structure, sector strength.
Risk: Risk-off Monday could temporarily weigh on miners. Thin volume (rv 0.29).


4. GLEN -- Near 52-Week High Breakout -- CONTINUING

Glencore at 564.1, only 2.3% from 52w high of 577.26. Bull above all EMAs, MACD bullish, RSI 65.3. Mining and commodities sector in clear leadership. Oil/energy exposure adds Hormuz tailwind.

Entry: 568-570 (above Friday's high of 567.5) Stop: 554 (below classic S2) T1: 577 (52w high) T2: 590 (new high territory) R:R: 1:1.5
Confluence: 4/5 -- Trend, momentum, 52w high proximity, sector leadership.


5. BAE -- Geopolitical Recovery (Counter-Trend, Half Size) -- NEW

BAE fell -2.82% on Friday and crossed below EMA20 with MACD bearish crossover. Normally this is bearish. HOWEVER -- the Hormuz escalation and naval blockade is a direct catalyst for defence names. BAE could gap up Monday, reclaiming EMA20 (2218). This is a NEWS-DRIVEN counter-trend setup.

Entry: 2220-2240 (on confirmed reclaim of EMA20) Stop: 2175 (below Friday's low area) T1: 2284 (Friday's high) T2: 2360 (52w high) R:R: 1:1.4
Confluence: 3/5 -- Catalyst (strong), structure (EMA50 support at 2145), POC above. But MACD bearish = HALF SIZE.
Risk: If defence doesn't catch the Hormuz bid, the technical breakdown is valid. Tight stop essential.



INTRADAY SETUPS

NOTE: Monday's open will be heavily gapped due to the Hormuz blockade news. Pivot and Camarilla levels below are calculated from Friday's data and may be less reliable than usual. Watch the first 30 minutes to see where the market settles before committing.

1. SHEL -- Camarilla Breakout Long

Friday's Cam R4 = 3448.3. If SHEL gaps above this on the oil surge, it confirms a trend day.
Entry: 3450+ (above Cam R4) Stop: 3430 (Cam R3) T1: 3480 (classic R2) T2: 3512 (classic R3) R:R: 1:2.5
Direction: Long Why: Hormuz blockade = trend day for oil names. Cam R4 break = explosive move.


2. BP -- Pivot Bounce Long

Classic pivot at 572.7 -- very close to Friday's close of 571.9. If BP opens near pivot and holds, look for push toward R1 and R2.
Entry: 573-575 (at or above pivot with confirmation) Stop: 566 (below S1) T1: 579 (R1) T2: 585 (R2) R:R: 1:1.5
Direction: Long Why: Oil catalyst + pivot support + bullish daily trend.


3. RIO -- Camarilla Range to Breakout

Cam S3 = 7299.7, Cam R3 = 7378.3. Range = 78.6 pts vs ATR of 231.0 -- narrow range signals potential trend day.
Entry: 7380+ (above Cam R3 for breakout) or 7300 for range bounce long Stop: 7260 (Cam S4) or 7370 (for breakout) T1: 7418 (Cam R4) T2: 7460 (classic R2) R:R: 1:1.5
Direction: Long Why: Mining momentum, MACD expanding, tight Cam range signals directional move imminent.


4. BAE -- Camarilla Range Fade Short (if no defence rally)

If BAE fails to rally on the Hormuz news, the technical breakdown is valid. Cam R3 = 2234.4 could be a shorting level.
Entry: 2230-2235 (at Cam R3) Stop: 2264 (above Cam R4) T1: 2205 (Friday close) T2: 2176 (Cam S3 area) R:R: 1:1.4
Direction: Short Why: Crossed below EMA20, MACD bearish crossover. Only take if defence names fail to catch a bid on Hormuz.


5. GSK -- Pivot Bounce Long (Defensive Bid)

Classic pivot at 2175.7 -- right at Friday's close of 2175. Pharma should catch a defensive bid in a risk-off session.
Entry: 2176-2180 (at pivot) Stop: 2155 (below S1) T1: 2195 (R1) T2: 2216 (R2) R:R: 1:1.5
Direction: Long Why: Bull above all EMAs, MACD bullish, defensive sector, pivot support.

BEARISH WARNINGS

ULVR (Unilever) -- Bear Below All, Near Oversold
Close: 4313.5. Below ALL EMAs (20=4493.5, 50=4744.7, 200=4969.5). RSI 31.1 -- approaching oversold but not there yet. MACD bearish (-198.31 vs -196.15). -21.9% from 52w high. Below POC (4825.6). Oil price surge adds cost pressure for consumer staples. No reversal signal yet -- avoid.

RKT (Reckitt) -- Bear Below All, Persistent Downtrend
Close: 5172. Below ALL EMAs (20=5294.7, 50=5592.9, 200=5664.9). RSI 38.8, MACD bearish. -20.6% from 52w high. Below POC (5890.9). Consumer headwinds from oil prices. No base forming yet.

EXPN (Experian) -- Bear Below All, Growth Weakness
Close: 2575. Below ALL EMAs (20=2624.3, 50=2721.2, 200=3177.9). RSI 44.4. -37.2% from 52w high. Risk-off Monday will hit data and tech names. Avoid.

III (3i Group) -- Bear Below All, Deep Correction
Close: 2687. Below ALL EMAs (20=2708.4, 50=2929.9, 200=3412.5). RSI 46.0. -40.2% from 52w high. Below POC (2990.7). Some MACD recovery but far from turning bullish.

BAE -- Technical Breakdown (But Watch for Hormuz Reversal)
Close: 2205. Just crossed below EMA20 (2218.4). MACD bearish crossover confirmed Friday. -2.82% was the largest single-day drop in the scanner. This is a bearish WARNING -- but the Hormuz naval blockade could flip this to bullish for defence. If BAE fails to rally on Monday despite the escalation, the bearish case strengthens significantly. Key level: EMA20 at 2218 must be reclaimed.

SGE (Sage Group) -- 4-Day Down Streak
Flagged in comparison data. Persistent selling. Monitor for further deterioration.



EVENTS CALENDAR

Monday 13 April
- US naval blockade of Iranian ports begins 10am ET (3pm BST) -- CRITICAL. Markets will react to any escalation or de-escalation in real-time.
- Oil prices in focus all day. OPEC+ response expected.

This Week
- UK unemployment data expected mid-week
- US CPI data this week
- WPP restructuring news may develop further (PR arm sale process)
- Ongoing Iran/US situation -- any diplomatic breakthrough would reverse the oil and defence trade rapidly

Risk Advisory: This is a GEOPOLITICALLY-DRIVEN week. Technical levels matter less when headline risk dominates. Use smaller position sizes than normal. Expect whipsaw moves on any Iran/Hormuz developments. Oil names and defence will be the most volatile. Consumer and growth names will underperform if oil stays elevated.


Not financial advice. Always DYOR. Capital at risk.

Friday 10 April 2026
Data: Close 9 April | UKX: ~10,603 | Futures: ~10,648 (+0.4%)



MARKET OVERVIEW

The FTSE 100 closed at 10,603 on Thursday 9 April, essentially flat on the day (-0.05%). Futures are pointing to a modestly higher open around 10,648 (+0.4%), suggesting tentative risk appetite returning after a mixed session.

The macro backdrop remains dominated by elevated oil prices -- Brent crude surged above $101/barrel on 9 April (+7.3% on the day) as Middle East tensions persist and the Strait of Hormuz situation continues to pressure energy markets. UK CPI remains at 3.0% (February reading), unemployment has risen above 5%, and rate cut expectations have been pushed out entirely, with markets now pricing in the possibility of a hike. Stagflation fears are real: the economy flatlined in January and Q4 GDP was just +0.1% q/q.

Despite the grim macro picture, the FTSE 100 itself has been resilient, trading near record highs above 10,000 -- benefiting from its heavy weighting toward energy, mining, and financials which are outperforming in this environment.

RR. -- Crossed ABOVE POC. Week: +12.84%, RSI week: +17.9 pts. Rolls-Royce leading the recovery charge.

EVENTS CALENDAR

- Earnings season kicking off: AstraZeneca, Barclays, Shell, BP, GSK, Lloyds, Standard Chartered all expected to report in April.
- Middle East tensions remain a wildcard -- Brent crude volatile between $90-111 this week. Any escalation/de-escalation moves oil and FTSE sharply.
- Bank of England next decision 8 May -- markets pricing in a hold, but an outside chance of a hike if CPI surprises.

Friday 10 April 2026
Data: Close 9 April | UKX: ~10,603 | Futures: ~10,648 (+0.4%)



MARKET OVERVIEW

The FTSE 100 closed at 10,603 on Wednesday 9 April, essentially flat on the day (-0.05%). Futures are pointing to a modestly higher open around 10,648 (+0.4%), suggesting tentative risk appetite returning after a mixed session.

The macro backdrop remains dominated by elevated oil prices -- Brent crude surged above $101/barrel on 9 April (+7.3% on the day) as Middle East tensions persist and the Strait of Hormuz situation continues to pressure energy markets. UK CPI remains at 3.0% (February reading), unemployment has risen above 5%, and rate cut expectations have been pushed out entirely, with markets now pricing in the possibility of a hike. Stagflation fears are real: the economy flatlined in January and Q4 GDP was just +0.1% q/q.

Despite the grim macro picture, the FTSE 100 itself has been resilient, trading near record highs above 10,000 -- benefiting from its heavy weighting toward energy, mining, and financials which are outperforming in this environment.

Thursday 9 April 2026
Data: Close 8 April | UKX: ~10,608 (+2.5%) | Futures: ~10,442 (Investing.com, intraday range 10,266-10,477)



MARKET OVERVIEW

The FTSE 100 closed Wednesday 8 April up ~260 pts at ~10,608, its highest since March and within touching distance of February's record highs. The catalyst was a US/Iran two-week ceasefire struck just before Trump's deadline, sparking a broad risk-on rally. Gains were led by miners (ANTO +10%, AAL +6.8%), UK banks (BARC +7%, NWG +6.5%, STAN +9.9%, LLOY +6.4%, HSBA +5.1%) and aerospace (RR. +9.9%). The conspicuous laggards were the energy majors: BP -6.1% and SHEL -5% as crude unwound the war premium.

Futures this morning are softer vs yesterday's cash close (10,442 vs 10,608) suggesting an element of profit-taking on the open. Treat the rally as a relief bounce until price holds above 10,600 on a closing basis.

SECTOR HEATMAP

BANKS — STRONG LLOY +6.4% · BARC +7% · STAN +9.9% · NWG +6.5% · HSBA +5.1%. All five compared names crossed above POC same session — textbook sector rotation into UK financials. Sub-sector breakout day.

MINERS — STRONG ANTO +10.2% · AAL +6.8% · RIO up-streak. Risk-on, China demand and weaker USD on ceasefire premium unwind.

INSURERS / LIFE — STRONG PRU +3.7% · LGEN +2.9% (crossed ABOVE EMA50 & POC) · AV +2.3% (crossed ABOVE EMA20). Rates-sensitive names catching the rally.

ENERGY — WEAK BP -6.1% · SHEL -5%. Both suffered the biggest RSI drops in the index as the geopolitical risk premium evaporated. These are the stocks to fade into strength.

DEFENSIVES — NEUTRAL TSCO +0.8% · IMB +0.0% · SSE +0.4% · HLN +0.1%. Ignored on a risk-on day; underperformers but stable.

STAPLES / CONSUMER — MIXED DGE +3.2% (RSI +10), ULVR (RSI +10.5), ABF +1.7% (crossed ABOVE EMA20), SGE -0.1%.

BEARISH WARNINGS

BP — Just triggered MACD BEARISH crossover, RSI -11.9 pts in a single session, -6.8% on the week. The geopolitical unwind names are the weakest chart in the index today.
SHEL — Crossed BELOW EMA20 today, RSI -14.4 pts, weekly RSI -22.4. Companion short to BP; fade rallies.
HLN — Only name in tracked 20 sitting in Bear(all EMAs) — close 369.5 below E20 374.26, E50 378.50, E200 373.17. No strength. Avoid longs until a reclaim of 374.
VOD — RSI 69.4 approaching OB, near 52w high. Trim / take profits rather than chase.
WPP / SGE — Still trading ~37-59% below 52w high. Bounce but not a trend change; use as dead-cat fade candidates on any rejection at EMA50.



EVENTS CALENDAR — WEEK AHEAD

Thu 9 Apr — Today: UK monthly GDP / industrial production / trade balance. ECB rate decision (EU) likely to set the European tone.
Fri 10 Apr — US CPI (market-moving for FTSE via rates/USD channel).
Earnings / RNS watch — Banks interim season approaches; Tesco FY update window. Monitor BP / SHEL for any trading-update RNS following yesterday's selloff.
Macro overhang — US/Iran ceasefire is 2-week window; watch headlines closely, any breach and energy snaps back violently while miners/banks give back gains.

Wednesday 8 April 2026
Data: Most recent scanner snapshot 16 March 2026 · UKX: ~10,462 (7 Apr close) · Futures: ~10,679 (Investing.com indicative, +/- intraday)



MARKET OVERVIEW

UK blue-chips finished 7 April near 10,462, with energy and defensives doing the heavy lifting as Middle East tension kept Brent bid. Scanner data in this report is the latest ftse_scanner snapshot available on the webhook (16 March close) — treat individual signals as a structural read of the tape rather than fresh intraday levels. Macro driver into today's session is the Iran/Strait of Hormuz deadline; oil names and defence remain the cleanest expression.



NOTABLE CHANGES (vs prior snapshot)

- IMB — RSI +10, crossed ABOVE EMA20 AND EMA200, MACD BULLISH cross. Tobacco bid mirrors BATS.
- RIO — 5-day up streak, +8.86% week, RSI +15.5 pts. Miners thawing.

- III — MACD bull cross but -3.5% day; weekly +11.7%. Mixed — wait for confirmation.
- RR. — Crossed BELOW EMA20, big move -3.3%. Profit-taking after a long run.
- ANTO — Crossed BELOW EMA20 even as MACD crossed bullish. Conflicted.

BEARISH WARNINGS

- ANTO — Crossed BELOW EMA20 even as MACD attempted bullish cross. Conflicted: do not chase.
- III — Bear-all, RSI 37, near 52w low (2887). Weekly bounce already done; rejection risk into 3000.
- DGE — Bear-all, RSI 33, near 52w low (1420.5). Continuation short on rallies into 1490.
- ULVR — Bear-all, RSI 36, no reclaim signal. EMA20/50 sit overhead at ~5060.
- RKT — RSI 30.8 oversold; +2.4% bounce day but no structural change. Wait for EMA20 reclaim.
- GSK / AZN — Both Bear20/50, RSI 40-43. Pharma laggard; need EMA20 reclaim before any long.



EVENTS CALENDAR (week ahead)
