Entry: 1985-1995 · Stop: 1925 · T1: 2011 · T2: 2050 · T3: 2061
Top weekly RSI mover (+15.9 pts). EMA50 at 2051 is the structural test — clearing converts MIXED to BULL above all.


NG — Trend-change long (NEW triple trigger)
Entry: 1283-1287 · Stop: 1265 · T1: 1297 · T2: 1321 · R:R: 1:1 / 1:3
EMA50 reclaim + MACD bull cross + 5-day uptrend on the same day. POC 1290 is the magnet.


HSBA — Trend continuation long (CONTINUING)
Entry: 1370-1376 · Stop: 1352 · T1: 1386 · T2: 1395 · T3: 1410 (52w hi)
Cleanest sector leader. Above POC, bull stack, tight ATR 33.

Entry: 3470-3490 · Stop: 3445 · T1: 3516 · T2: 3582 · T3: 3686 (52w hi)
Cam pivot pullback in a strong trend. Asymmetric upside to a new high.



6. INTRADAY SETUPS


SHEL — Cam S3 fade long (range play)
Entry: 3193-3198 (Cam S3) · Stop: 3179 (below Cam S4) · Target: Pivot 3212 / R1 3210
Despite the EMA50 break, MACD still bull-aligned. Range fade only — invalidated on close below Cam S4.


BAE — Pivot bounce long (intraday)
Entry: 1979-1985 (Cam pivot) · Stop: 1962 (below Cam S4) · Target: 1998 → 2008 → 2011
Continuation of swing thesis. Tight 1-ATR stop on a rising name.


HSBA — Pivot continuation long
Entry: 1373-1376 (above Cam pivot) · Stop: 1364 (below Cam S4) · Target: R1 1377 → R2 1381 → R3 1394
Bull stack with tight Cam band. Clean break above pivot resolves quickly.


BP — Cam R3 fade short / S4 breakdown
Fade: Entry 552-554 (Cam R3) · Stop 557 · Target 548 → 546 (POC) → 543
Break: Entry < 543.06 (Cam S4) · Stop 549 · Target 541 → 533
Biggest single-day RSI deterioration in the index. Two ways to play it.


NG — Cam R1 breakout long
Entry: Break and hold > 1288.70 (Cam R1) + > POC 1290 · Stop: 1278 · Target: 1293 → 1299 → 1308
Triggers off the swing setup. POC alignment for confluence.

Monday 25 May 2026 - Spring Bank Holiday (LSE CLOSED)
Data: Close Friday 22 May - UKX: 10,466.26 (+0.41%) - Futures: not reliable (market closed today) - Next session: Tue 26 May


1. MARKET OVERVIEW
The FTSE 100 closed Friday at 10,466.26 (+0.41%), its highest since April and up roughly +2.8% on the week. The advance came despite soft UK data - April retail sales missed and the budget deficit widened to GBP 24.3bn (vs ~20.9bn expected) - with sentiment carried by US-Iran de-escalation optimism.

Today (Mon 25 May) London is CLOSED for the Spring Bank Holiday; US markets are also shut for Memorial Day. There is no live cash session, so no reliable futures print to quote - this report frames levels for the next session, Tuesday 26 May.

Macro: UK CPI cooled to 2.8% in April (from 3.3%); BoE held Bank Rate at 3.75% on 30 April.
Liquidity warning: every tracked stock printed relative volume below 0.8 on Friday (thin pre-holiday tape). Treat Friday's closes as low-conviction and widen stops on the reopen.


2. NOTABLE CHANGES (day over day)
The most actionable shifts vs Thursday's close:

- BP -2.72%: crossed BELOW EMA20, RSI -7.2 pts to 46.4, RSI zone flipped Bull to Bear. Fresh breakdown.
- EXPN -2.14%: heaviest faller, RSI -4.9 to 43.8, below all EMAs, -36.9% from 52w high.
- RR. +3.36%: big move, crossed ABOVE POC, week +6.59% (note: abnormal intraday low - levels distorted).
- BAE +2.12%: crossed ABOVE EMA20, 5-day up streak, week +6.36%, RSI week +15.9 pts. Recovery underway.
- III +2.31%: week +10.62% (top weekly mover) - but still below all EMAs, -48.8% from high. Counter-trend only.
- NG +0.59%: crossed ABOVE EMA50, MACD BULLISH crossover, 5-day up streak. Cleanest new long signal.
- SHEL -1.00%: crossed BELOW EMA50, 4-day down streak.
- AZN -0.49%: RSI zone Bull to Bear, close -118.

The FTSE 100 closed Thursday 21 May around the 10,440 area, holding near the top of a tight 10,150-10,470 range that has held since mid-May. Index has been consolidating just below all-time-high territory rather than trending.

Macro backdrop (verified):
- UK CPI fell to 2.8% in April (below the 3.0% forecast, lowest since March 2025) - supportive for rate-cut expectations and a tailwind for the index.
- Brent crude rose to ~$104.5 (+1.9%), elevated on Middle East / Iran tension - a tailwind for energy weight.
- Copper firm near $6.25/lb (+2% the prior session) on improved risk appetite - supportive for the miners.
- Gold elevated near $4,500 on safe-haven demand.
- GfK consumer confidence weak at -25 (April) - the soft spot in an otherwise constructive backdrop.

Futures note: Per our own rule, we do not fabricate futures levels. A reliable, internally-consistent real-time FTSE futures print for the 22 May session could not be confirmed (the only futures-tagged figure found conflicted with cash by ~3% and was clearly stale). Trade the cash levels below; treat direction as range-bound until 10,470 breaks or 10,150 gives way.

8. BEARISH WARNINGS

III - Bear below all EMAs, deep multi-month downtrend, RSI 38. Today's +2.71% is a bounce into resistance, not a reversal.
RTO - Below EMA20/50, RSI 37.2 and dropping (-2.5), -0.83% on the day. Weak support services name.
REL / EXPN / INF / WPP / LSEG - The whole Media/Data complex remains heavy; LSEG just lost EMA20. Avoid longs here until trends turn.
BNZL - Momentum rolling over fast (RSI -5.5, -1.23%) even though price is still above EMAs - early warning.
Overbought: BATS RSI 69.1 and DGE 63.8 - extended, watch for mean reversion.



9. EVENTS CALENDAR
Mon 25 May: UK Spring Bank Holiday - LSE CLOSED. Next session is Tue 26 May.
This week's ex-dividends (May): BP, Unilever, GSK already ex-div (14 May); RELX, Glencore, Tesco among others marked ex-div across the month - factor into open prints.
Earnings: Week of 25 May is light for FTSE 100 - the bulk of May results are already out. No major tracked-name reports scheduled into the holiday-shortened week.
Macro to watch: follow-through on UK CPI (2.8%) feeding rate-cut odds; oil/Brent and the Iran headlines driving energy and the safe-haven bid.

Thursday 21 May 2026
Data: Close 20 May | UKX: ~10,300 (-0.3%) | Futures: ~flat open | WTI: $98.26 (-5%)



MARKET OVERVIEW
FTSE 100 closed Wednesday around 10,300, slipping ~0.3%. Futures point to a broadly flat open Thursday as investors digest a sharp drop in oil - WTI crude fell more than 5% to $98.26, back below $100, after President Trump flagged progress on Iran negotiations. Lower energy is risk-supportive but a headwind for oil majors.

Macro backdrop is constructive for domestic names: UK CPI cooled to 2.8% in April (from 3.3%), below the 3.0% expected and the softest in over a year. The Bank of England held Bank Rate at 3.75% on 30 April. Disinflation plus a stable rate path is exactly the mix that lifted UK banks on Wednesday.

Note: the scanner's "LLOY" row printed an anomalous price (9998) inconsistent with Lloyds' actual share price - treated as a feed error and excluded from setups below.

The most actionable day-over-day moves from the comparison engine:

Wednesday 20 May 2026
Data: Close 19 May · UKX: ~10,341 (+0.17%) · Futures: data unavailable (no confirmed pre-market number) · Stocks scanned: 40



MARKET OVERVIEW

UKX closed Tuesday 19 May at ~10,341, just under recent highs, with a quiet +0.17% session. The headline macro driver this morning is UK CPI for April printing 2.8% YoY versus 3.0% expected and 3.3% prior — a clear downside surprise driven mostly by the new Ofgem energy price cap (housing/services inflation collapsed from 5.3% to 1.4%). The pound dipped on the print as markets pulled BoE cut bets forward. For equities, the combination is supportive for rate-sensitive sectors (housebuilders, utilities, REITs proxies) and large-cap exporters benefit from a softer sterling.

No confirmed FTSE 100 cash futures price was returned by the searches available this morning — flag the futures gap rather than guess. The underlying tone overnight is constructive: disinflation surprise + softer sterling is usually a bid for the index. Watch the open for confirmation around the 10,330–10,360 zone.

Beneath the index, the tape is two-speed. Miners (AAL, ANTO, RIO, GLEN) are mid-way through a 4-day down-streak and broke key EMAs this week. Defensives and select large caps (BATS, BP, SHEL, LSEG, STAN, ADM, LGEN) are working. Recovery rotation continues into beaten-down quality (WPP, REL, EXPN, SGE, RKT).

TOP SWING TRADE SETUPS

1. BATS — Trend continuation in the strongest stock on the board (CONTINUING)

Bull-all, ADX 37 (strongest reading in the universe), MACD widening by 71 pts, well above POC. RSI 68 is hot but not extreme, and the 4892 close is -8% from the 52-week high (5326) so room remains. StochRSI 76 — high but not pinned. ATR 155.
Entry: 4860-4880 pullback (Cam S2 4809 to Cam S1 4850) · Stop: 4720 (below EMA9 4725, just over 1 ATR) · T1: 4970 (Cam R2) · T2: 5140 (Cam R4) · R:R: 1:1.5
Why: Sole BULL+ADX>30 stock with widening MACD. Multi-week leader.

2. EXPN — Bullish continuation, just crossed above EMA50 and POC (NEW)

Crossed above EMA50 and POC yesterday, 4-day up streak, week +7.6%, RSI +18 over the week. Above EMA20 and EMA50 (recovery posture). StochRSI is pinned at 100 — short-term hot — so any pullback into Cam S1-S2 is the cleaner entry.
Entry: 2705-2715 (Cam S1 2712 / pivot 2710) · Stop: 2640 (below EMA9 2648 and pre-cross level) · T1: 2776 (Classic R2) · T2: 2812 (Classic R3) and reach toward 3069 EMA200 over multi-day · R:R: 1:1.7
Why: Best new bullish trigger overnight + price/POC alignment.

3. WPP — Deep value recovery accelerating (CONTINUING)

Above all near-term EMAs (e2 265.7, e5 263.7) but still -54% from 52H (605.4) — a long way to run. MACD bullish cross, RSI 60.9, week +9.65%, ADX 20 building. POC at 255 is solid support.
Entry: 275-277 pullback (Cam S1 277 / EMA9 268.8 below) · Stop: 263 (below EMA50) · T1: 285.5 (Classic R1 / Cam R4) · T2: 298 (Classic R3) · R:R: 1:1.7
Why: Reversal candidate with the most room to mean-revert.

4. SHEL — Oil-major rotation joins BP (NEW MACD cross)

MACD bullish cross overnight, crossed above POC (3266), bull-all, ADX 28. Sister stock BP also flipped MACD bullish — sector confluence. StochRSI 97.7 means buy a dip rather than chase.
Entry: 3265-3275 (POC + Cam S2) · Stop: 3230 (below EMA20/50 cluster) · T1: 3305 (Classic R1) · T2: 3342 (Classic R3) · R:R: 1:1.3

5. LSEG — Bull-all, fresh EMA20 reclaim, growth name (NEW)

Crossed above EMA20 yesterday. +2.10% on the day, RSI 55.6, ADX 23 building, POC well below at 8884. Still 20% off 52H so plenty of room.
Entry: 9430-9470 (Cam S1 9450 / pivot 9417) · Stop: 9290 (below EMA9/EMA20 cluster) · T1: 9594 (Cam R4) · T2: 9780 (Classic R3) · R:R: 1:1.6



INTRADAY SETUPS

PIVOT BOUNCE — BP long
Close 569.20 sits right on classic pivot 569.07. Bull-all, MACD just flipped bullish. ATR is small (15.55) but Cam R3 only 2.30 above pivot — favours a clean Cam scalp.
Direction: LONG · Entry: 568-569 (pivot) · Stop: 565 (below S1 564.93) · Target: 573 (R1) then 577 (R2) · Trail above Cam R1 569.97 if hit.

CAM RANGE FADE — STAN range (S3/R3 range trade)
Cam S3 1867.66 to Cam R3 1894.34 forms a 26.7-point range. Stock is bull-all and 3% from 52H but turned MACD bearish — clean range conditions with short-term oversold StochRSI 9.
Direction: LONG at S3 / SHORT at R3 · Cam S3 1867.66 with stop 1854 (below S4) target 1885 (R1) · Cam R3 1894.34 with stop 1908 target 1881.
Why: StochRSI extreme oversold supports a S3 bounce first; daily MACD bear cross caps upside near R3.

CAM BREAKDOWN — AAL short below Cam S3
Yesterday closed at 3656 between Cam S2 3631 and Cam S1 3643 — already broken. Watch Cam S3 3619; loss of this opens the trend-day short.
Direction: SHORT · Entry: 3618 on break · Stop: 3670 (above Cam S1 1.05x ATR) · Target: 3582 (Cam S4) then 3555 (Classic S2) · R:R: 1:1.4
Why: Crossed below EMA20 yesterday, MACD bear cross, 4-day down streak.

PIVOT BOUNCE — REL long off pivot
Close 2529 right at Cam S1 2524.88 / pivot 2534. Crossed above EMA20 yesterday for the first time. 4-day up streak.
Direction: LONG · Entry: 2525-2534 · Stop: 2510 (below Classic S1 2509 and EMA20 2526.6) · Target: 2554 (R1) then 2579 (R2) · R:R: 1:1.7

CAM BREAKOUT — LSEG long above Cam R1
Close 9471 sits just above Cam S1 9450; the 9492 Cam R1 is the trigger.
Direction: LONG · Entry: 9495 on break · Stop: 9417 (below pivot) · Target: 9512 (R2) then 9594 (R4) · R:R: 1:1.5

BEARISH WARNINGS

JUST BROKE DOWN

AAL — Crossed below EMA20 (3747.30) yesterday. MACD bear cross. Loss of Cam S3 3619 opens the trend-day short to Cam S4 3583. Targets back to Classic S2 3555 / S3 3473.

ANTO — Crossed below EMA50 (3726.91), below POC (3715.78), MACD bear cross, 4-day down streak. -14.93% in a week. RSI 46 still falling. Next supports: Cam S3 3614 then Cam S4 3571 then Classic S2 3522.

RIO — Crossed below EMA20 (7625.12). RSI bled 28.7 points in a week (sharpest in universe). MACD bear cross. Watch 7407 (Cam S4) / 7339 (Classic S2). Volume RV 0.77 — selling has been measured, not panic — risk: capitulation candle still ahead.

GLEN — Crossed below EMA20 (567.45), MACD bear cross, week -5.24%. StochRSI 0 (max oversold). Next support is EMA50 549 / POC 543 — bounce-worthy area.

AV — From bull-all to bear-all in five sessions. Crossed below EMA20 AND EMA50 AND POC together. MACD bear. RSI 45.5 still has room down. Avoid bottom-fishing until daily prints a base.

WATCH FOR FOLLOW-THROUGH

CPG — Still bull-all but -3.5% with RSI down 8.3 pts. ADX is only 10.5 — uptrend not strong. A close below EMA20 3044 confirms a regime change.

HSBA — Crossed below EMA20 (1326.63). Still above EMA50/200 but momentum lost.

PRU — Crossed below EMA20 (1130). Mixed posture; not a confirmed breakdown yet.

STAN — Bull-all leader but MACD just turned bear. StochRSI 9 says bounce-likely first; failure of pivot 1891.83 would confirm topping behaviour 3% off the 52H.

BEAR-ALL, NO BOTTOM YET

BAE — RSI 37.4, ADX 28, all EMAs above. Bounce yesterday +1.75% inside a downtrend. Resistance EMA20 1994.79 (4% above).
III — +6.15% one-day bounce in a -50.9% from 52H downtrend. EMA200 still at 3215. ADX 26.2. Counter-rally only.
NWG — RSI 46.5, bear-all. Mining-style profile but in financials.
SSE / NG — Utilities still in downtrend; disinflation print might support, but not confirmed.



EVENTS CALENDAR

Today (Wed 20 May): UK CPI April released this morning at 2.8% YoY (below 3.0% est.). Reaction: pound weaker, gilts bid, equities supported in rate-sensitives.
This week: Watch UK Retail Sales Friday. BoE speakers throughout the week — every dovish lean now amplified after the CPI miss.
Earnings: No major FTSE 100 names among the 40-stock universe report this week (LSEG next prints 30 July 2026 per filings). Monitor RNS for AGM updates.
US: FOMC minutes on Wednesday evening — historically a UK overnight tail risk into Thursday open.

Not financial advice. Always DYOR. Capital at risk.

Friday 15 May 2026
Data: Close 14 May 2026 | UKX: ~10,350 | Futures: 10,642.6 (+2.8% implied vs Thu close)



1. MARKET OVERVIEW

UKX Level: ~10,350 (Thursday 14 May close estimate based on intraday reports)
Futures (15 May pre-market): 10,642.6 (Source: Investing.com - FTSE 100 Futures)
Implied Direction: STRONGLY HIGHER - a significant overnight gap is signalled by futures. This may reflect the US-UK trade deal optimism and positive macro backdrop.

Macro Drivers (Thursday 14 May):
- UK Q1 2026 GDP growth confirmed stronger than expected (+0.5%), beating forecasts and lifting market sentiment
- Banking sector broadly higher - Barclays +2.77%, Standard Chartered +1.30%, Lloyds +1.09%, NatWest +0.92%
- Mining stocks benefited from copper's eight-session winning streak; Anglo American near 52w high, Antofagasta +8.31% week
- Legal & General surged +6.40% in heavy volume - crossed ALL three EMAs in one session; full technical reset
- BAT (BATS) surged +15.98% over the week in a powerful tobacco sector rotation - not in 20-stock scanner but dominant in comparison data
- 3i Group (III) CRASHED -13.5% (week: -19.16%) after Action posted disappointing like-for-like sales in France and Germany despite strong NAV growth and a GBP 750m share buyback announcement

Key risk for Friday: With futures implying a large gap open, early price action is critical. Gap fills are common after large implied moves. Watch banking and mining for continuation vs fade.

Note: Volume is thin across most names (rv < 0.5). LGEN is the standout with rv=2.07 and RTO showing elevated rv=1.93. Thin volume moves should be viewed with caution; wide stops may be warranted.



5. TOP SWING TRADE SETUPS

Setup 1: LGEN -- Full Technical Reset / Continuation
The most powerful setup generated this week. LGEN crossed above ALL THREE EMAs in a single session with heavy volume (rv=2.07) and a MACD bullish crossover. RSI surged 14.9 points. This is a NEW signal - it triggered on Thursday and has NOT been in play previously. The stock closed above its Point of Control (254.07p), confirming buyer conviction.

Context: Institutional buying into Legal & General likely driven by insurance sector rotation and possibly index-driven flows. The +6.4% move on 2x average volume is genuine.

EMA support: EMA200 = 252.30p, EMA50 = 255.09p, EMA20 = 253.81p - all clustered tightly, forming a strong support zone at 252-256p.

Entry: 262-265 (open range, or pullback to Cam S3 261.84) Stop: 254.00 (below all EMAs and POC, 1.25x ATR) T1: 271.50 (Classic R2) T2: 277.00 (Classic R3 / approaching 52w high zone) R:R: 1:1.4 (to T2)

POC support: 254.07p - if price pulls back to POC it becomes a high-conviction re-entry.


Setup 2: STAN -- Near 52-Week High / Bull Continuation
Standard Chartered is the strongest sustained bull trend in the banking sector. Price is only 1.5% from its 52-week high of 1938.2p. Bull above ALL EMAs with a wide stack (EMA200 = 1612.83p), MACD bull (line > signal), RSI 62.9. This is a CONTINUING setup - STAN has been in a sustained uptrend.

POC: 1684.8p - price is 13.3% above POC, confirming sustained accumulation by buyers.

Entry: 1895-1910 (current range, or pullback to Classic S1 1885.98) Stop: 1849 (Classic S3 / below all near-term support) T1: 1938 (52w high / psychological resistance) T2: 1960 (Classic R3 / new 52w high territory) R:R: 1:1.2 (to T1), 1:2.0 (to T2)

Note: Volume has been thin (rv=0.36) - a higher-volume breakout above 1938.2 would be a very strong signal.


Setup 3: AAL -- Mining Bull Near All-Time Highs
Anglo American is only 1.2% from its 52-week high of 4118.5p, Bull above all EMAs, MACD bull, RSI 68.7 (approaching overbought). Week +5.68% as copper prices continue their record-breaking run. This is a CONTINUING setup supported by the broader commodity supercycle narrative.

POC: 3386.48p - price is 20% above POC, showing sustained institutional accumulation.

Entry: 4013-4067 (pullback to Cam S4/current close) Stop: 3914 (Classic S3) T1: 4119 (52w high) T2: 4200+ (new high territory) R:R: 1:1.0 tight (to T1), better on breakouts

Caution: RSI 68.7 approaching overbought. Day was slightly negative (-0.19%) on thin volume (rv=0.31). Wait for either a dip to Cam S3 (4040) or a breakout above 4100 with volume.


Setup 4: IMB -- Tobacco Recovery from Oversold
Imperial Brands has just crossed above EMA20 (2823.45p) with RSI surging 10.7 pts. Week RSI: +16.3 pts total recovery from the oversold 35 zone. This is a NEW breakout signal. Still below EMA50 (2931p) and EMA200 (3008p) so this is a recovery trade, not a full bull.

Key resistance to watch: EMA50 at 2931p is the next test. POC at 3019p is strong resistance.

Entry: 2840-2870 (current range or Cam S3 2840) Stop: 2790 (below Cam S4, below EMA20) T1: 2931 (EMA50 resistance) T2: 3019 (POC) R:R: 1:1.6 (to T2)

Note: Volume thin (rv=0.31). Monitor for confirmation on Friday. Tobacco sector broadly rotating.


Setup 5: WPP -- Deep Value Technical Recovery
WPP crossed above EMA50 (262.69p) for the first time in this recovery, crossed above POC (255.40p) and RSI moved from Bear to Bull zone. Close at 262.86p is marginally above EMA50 (262.69p) - only 17p of clearance. This is a NEW signal. However the stock is -57% from its 52-week high, indicating deep structural issues. This is a speculative recovery trade only.

Entry: 260-263 (pullback to EMA50 support zone) Stop: 254 (below POC and EMA50) T1: 270 (Classic R1 area) R:R: 1:1.0 (marginal)

Note: Not a high-conviction bull - more of a tactical bounce play. WPP is still -57% from 52w high at 611.8p and far below EMA200 at 334.53p. Position size accordingly.



6. INTRADAY SETUPS (Using Pivot and Camarilla Levels)

Intraday 1: STAN -- Cam R4 Breakout (Trend Day Long)
Direction: LONG
- Context: Bull trend, RSI 62.9, MACD bull, only 1.5% from 52w high. If futures gap holds, STAN could see a trend day.
- Entry: Break and hold above Cam R4 = 1930.10p
- Stop: 1906.65 (Cam S1)
- Target: 1938.2 (52w high) then 1959 (Classic R3)
- Why: Cam R4 breakout = trend day signal. Strong bull trend. Futures implying large gap up.

Intraday 2: BARC -- Pivot Bounce / Continuation
Direction: LONG
- Context: Just crossed above EMA20 and EMA50 (new signal). Closed at 434.05p above pivot (433.62p). RSI 53.1 in bull zone.

- Stop: 429.27 (Cam S4, below EMA20)
- Target 1: 438.18 (Classic R1) Target 2: 442.32 (Classic R2)

Entry: 433.62-434.05 Stop: 429.27 T1: 438.18 T2: 442.32 R:R: 1:1.3

Intraday 3: LGEN -- Camarilla Range Fade / Continuation
Direction: LONG on dips within Cam range
- Context: Big +6.4% day Thursday. Heavy volume. New bull. RSI 59.2.
- After a gap-up open, watch for a pullback into Cam S3 (261.84p) zone to add longs.
- Entry: 261.84-263.55 (Cam S3 to S1 zone)
- Stop: 259.29 (below Cam S4 and below all EMAs)
- Target: 267.97 (Classic R1) then 271.53 (Classic R2)
- Why: After a big-volume day, pullbacks to S3/Cam zone are high-probability long entries in bull moves.
Entry: 261-264 Stop: 259 T1: 268 T2: 272 R:R: 1:1.6

Intraday 4: TSCO -- Pivot Resistance Short
Direction: SHORT
- Context: Bear below EMA20 (471.95p) and EMA50 (472.93p), closed below POC (478.22p). RSI 37.1 and falling. Week -3.29%. 4th consecutive day with downward pressure.
- Note: Futures gap up may push TSCO to retest pivot (454.42p) or Cam R3 (454.19p) on open.
- Entry: Short rejection at Classic Pivot 454.42p or Cam R3 454.19p
- Stop: 458.80 (previous day high)
- Target 1: 450.03 (Classic S1) Target 2: 447.72 (Classic S2)
- Why: Bear trend continuation. Rejection at pivot/Cam R3 is classic bear structure.
Entry: 454-455 Stop: 459 T1: 450 T2: 448 R:R: 1:1.3

Intraday 5: SSE -- Camarilla S4 Breakdown Short
Direction: SHORT
- Context: 4-day down streak. Bear below EMA20 (2548.77p) and EMA50 (2566.48p). MACD deepening (signal diverging). RSI 37.7 and falling weekly. Week -2.2%.
- Entry: Break and hold below Cam S4 = 2433.60p
- Stop: 2451.57 (Cam R1 / near close)
- Target: 2429 (Classic S2) then 2411 (Classic S3)
- Why: Cam S4 breakdown = trend day short signal. 4-day down streak provides directional conviction.
Entry: 2433 Stop: 2452 T1: 2429 T2: 2411 R:R: 1:1.3

8. BEARISH WARNINGS

III (3i Group) -- MAJOR CRASH -- OVERSOLD / DANGEROUS
Close: 2095p | -13.5% Thursday | -19.16% WEEK | RSI: 24.1 (OVERSOLD) | Volume: rv=3.4 (VERY HEAVY)
3i's Action division posted disappointing LFL sales growth, particularly in France and Germany. Despite strong NAV growth (+19%) and a GBP 750m buyback, the market sold heavily. RSI at 24.1 is deep oversold. Three consecutive losing days before the crash week (-1.03%, -2.33%, -5.02%). POC at 2711p is now very distant overhead resistance. This is not a buy-the-dip candidate until there is evidence of stabilisation. Potential bounce candidate only on RSI divergence after further base-building.

HLN (Haleon) -- SUSTAINED DOWNTREND, ADX RISING
Close: 329.55p | Bear below ALL EMAs | RSI: 34.3 | ADX: 42.0 (strong trend) | POC: 367.64p (18p overhead)
ADX at 42 confirms the downtrend is strong and gathering strength. Price is at a 52-week low zone (52w low: 325p). The stock is -21.4% from its 52w high. Near-term risk is a break of 325p support which would trigger new 52-week lows. MACD in bear territory. Close is just 4.55p above the 52-week low.

SGE (Sage Group) -- DEEP STRUCTURAL BEAR, -36% FROM 52W HIGH
Close: 854.4p | Bear below ALL EMAs | RSI: 44.1 | EMA200: 985.46p | POC: 850.60p
The worst EMA picture in the tracked universe. -36% from its 52-week high of 1335p. EMA200 sits at 985p, 131p overhead. The stock is trapped below all major moving averages and the POC marginally (close at 854.4 vs POC 850.6). An EMA200 recapture would require a 15% rally from here.

GSK (GSK plc) -- BELOW ALL EMAs, BEARISH MACD DEEPENING
Close: 1875p | Bear below ALL EMAs | RSI: 34.9 | MACD: -58.6 (signal: -51.17) | POC: 2063.62p (way overhead)
-10% from 52w high. RSI recovering slightly week-on-week (27.0 to 34.9) but MACD is still deeply bearish and diverging. POC at 2063p represents significant overhead supply from institutional selling. Not a buy until above EMA200.

BAE Systems -- BEARISH MACD DEEP, RSI 33, -12% FROM 52W HIGH
Close: 1919.5p | RSI: 33.0 (near OS) | MACD: -67.2 (signal: -53.99) | POC: 2163.92p
Defence sector underperforming despite geopolitical tailwinds. RSI holding above oversold but MACD is diverging bearish. POC at 2163p is 12.7% overhead. Three negative days in the past five sessions.

ABF (Associated British Foods) -- BEAR BELOW ALL EMAs DESPITE BOUNCE
Close: 1803.5p | Bear below ALL EMAs | RSI: 44.9 | POC: 1859.41p | From 52w H: -23.5%
Thursday's +2.53% bounce is encouraging but does not change the structure. Still below EMA20 (1822p), EMA50 (1855p), EMA200 (1979p) and POC (1859p). RSI recovery from 34.8 to 44.9 is a positive sign but needs follow-through.

SSE -- 4-DAY DOWN STREAK, MACD DEEPENING
Close: 2449p | Bear below EMA20/50 | RSI: 37.7 | Week: -2.20% | 4-day down streak
MACD at -43.02 vs signal -27.43, gap widening = accelerating momentum to the downside. Cam S4 at 2433.6p is the next breakdown level. Break below 2429 (Classic S2) opens a run to 2411 (Classic S3). Thin volume (rv=0.47) on these moves.
