FTSE 100 Daily Technical Analysis & Setups

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.

BEARISH WARNINGS

- RR. — Just crossed BELOW EMA20 with -3.3% session. Trend weakening after long advance; lose 1212 (cam_s4) and the EMA50 (1259) is no longer valid support — mark 1180 next.
- 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)

- Macro: Iran/Strait of Hormuz deadline driving oil & risk sentiment this week. Watch BoE speakers and US CPI mid-week.
- Earnings: UK Q1 trading updates begin — Tesco, Sainsbury and the big banks (HSBA, LLOY, BARC) cluster later this month; no major FTSE 100 reports today from the tracked names.
- Ex-div: Several FTSE 100 names through April — confirm against your broker before sizing.

Tuesday 7 April 2026 — FTSE 100 Daily Technical Report
Latest Scanner Data: Close 1 April 2026 (most recent run available) · UKX Futures: ~10,442 (+0.78%) · Bias: RISK ON

Note: The FTSE scanner has not produced fresh ftse_scanner snapshots since 1 April. All technical levels and indicators below are calculated from the 1 April close. Treat intraday levels as a reference framework — re-check pivots against today's open before trading.



1. MARKET OVERVIEW

FTSE 100 futures are trading around 10,442, up roughly +0.78%, with a daily range of 10,266–10,477 and a Strong Buy daily technical signal across moving averages. The 1 April close marked the end of a powerful broad-based reversal week — banks, insurers, miners and pharma all printed +3% to +6% sessions on heavy volume, with multiple stocks crossing back above EMA20 / EMA50 / EMA200 in a single day. Cash market re-opens with momentum on its side and futures pointing to a constructive open.

Key macro context: oil and miners benefiting from a global reflation rotation, sterling-sensitive financials catching a bid as gilt yields stabilise, and pharma (AZN-led) recovering off oversold levels. Watch UK rate expectations and any incoming BoE commentary this week.



2. NOTABLE CHANGES (1 Apr vs 31 Mar)

The most actionable shifts since the prior session:

- LLOY — RSI surged +11.9 pts, crossed ABOVE EMA20 and EMA50, MACD bullish crossover, +5.8% on the day, week +5.83%. Full bullish flip.
- NWG — RSI +10.4, crossed ABOVE EMA20 and EMA200, +5.4%, 4-day up streak, week +9.01%. Strongest UK bank momentum.
- PRU — RSI +11.7, crossed ABOVE EMA20 and EMA200, MACD bullish crossover, +4.4%. Insurer reversal.
- BARC — RSI +9.3, crossed ABOVE EMA20 and EMA200, +5.1%, week +6.14%.
- LGEN — RSI +8.5, crossed ABOVE all three EMAs (20/50/200) on the same day, +3.5%. Cleanest trend reset of the day.
- INF — RSI +11.8, crossed ABOVE EMA20, +3.5%. Mid-cap reversal.
- AAL — Crossed ABOVE EMA50 and POC, 4-day up streak, week +9.64%. Miners rotating.
- CPG — RSI dropped 33 pts, "Big move: -98.6%". This is a corporate action (likely special distribution / spin-off / share consolidation), not a real crash. Do not interpret as a price signal.
- SHEL — RSI dropped 15.8 pts, MACD bearish crossover, -3.9%. Lone heavyweight bearish flag.
- HLN — Crossed BELOW EMA200 even as MACD turned bullish. Mixed and weak relative to peers.



3. SECTOR HEATMAP

STRONG / LEADING:
- UK Banks: LLOY, NWG, BARC, HSBA, STAN — coordinated reversal, all up 3.7%–5.8% on 1 Apr, multiple EMA breakouts in one session. This is the cleanest sector rotation signal of the week.
- UK Insurers: PRU, LGEN, AV — all +3% to +4.4% with RSI surges of 8–12 pts. PRU and LGEN both reclaimed key EMAs.
- Miners: AAL, ANTO, RIO — multi-day up streaks, weekly gains 7%–10%, RSI rebounding sharply.
- Industrials / Defence: BAE +4.3% week +9.65%, RR. +6.6%, III +6%.

WEAK / LAGGING:
- Big Oil: SHEL alone broke down (-3.9%, MACD bearish cross). Watch for follow-through or one-day blip.
- Tobacco / Defensives: IMB -0.5%, RSI 41, below all EMAs. Defensive lag confirms risk-on rotation.
- Consumer Health: HLN crossed below EMA200, RSI 45.6, weakest in its peer group.

NEUTRAL / MIXED: TSCO, BNZL, RTO, ABF, SGE, WPP — small daily moves, mixed EMA structures, no clean signal.

8. BEARISH WARNINGS

SHEL — RSI dropped 15.8 pts in a single session, MACD bearish crossover, -3.9%. The only heavyweight to break down on a broadly green day. Watch for follow-through; if SHEL leads oil weakness, the broader index reversal narrative weakens.

HLN — Crossed BELOW EMA200 on 1 Apr, RSI 45.6, below all three EMAs. Defensive consumer health weakness.

IMB — Below all EMAs, RSI 41 (weakest in the universe), weak relative strength against the broad reversal. Tactical short-bias on rallies into 3060–3098.

AV — Despite the +3.1% bounce, still classified Bear (below all EMAs) with MACD still bearish. Counter-trend bounce, not a confirmed reversal yet — wants a close above 633 (EMA200) before flipping bullish.



9. EVENTS CALENDAR — Week of 7 April

Macro: Watch for BoE commentary, UK GDP / industrial production prints, and any updates on US tariff / trade developments that have driven recent reflation moves. US CPI and FOMC minutes are the major external catalysts to monitor.

Earnings & Updates (typical April cadence — confirm with company calendars): Q1 trading updates begin in earnest mid-April. Tesco (TSCO) annual results window approaching. Banks (LLOY, BARC, NWG, HSBA, STAN) Q1 reporting begins late April.

Ex-Dividend Watch: Several FTSE 100 financials and miners typically go ex-div in early/mid April — confirm exact dates per holding before trading.

Always verify event dates against the live company calendars before sizing positions.

Monday 6 April 2026 (Easter Monday - LSE Closed)
Data: Close 1 April | UKX: ~10,337 (Apr 1) / ~10,431 (Apr 2 close) | Futures: Unavailable (Easter Monday - London closed)

Note: London Stock Exchange is closed today for the Easter bank holiday. Markets reopen Tuesday 7 April. This report covers the April 1 scanner data with April 2 close context from web sources. US markets reopen today while London remains shut.



MARKET OVERVIEW

The FTSE 100 closed Thursday April 2 at approximately 10,431 - up 0.63% (+66 points) - before shutting for the four-day Easter break. The index surged 1.58% on Wednesday April 1 (the scanner data date) to 10,337, marking a strong start to Q2 2026.

Key macro drivers: Oil prices surged to $110/barrel on April 2 as Middle East tensions around the Strait of Hormuz escalated, directly benefiting SHEL and BP. Diplomatic talks between Britain and Iran provided some optimism. The OECD has cut UK GDP growth to 0.7% for 2026 and raised inflation forecasts to 4.0%. Bank of England expected to hold at 3.75% rather than cut. UK unemployment rose to 5.2%, with youth unemployment at 14.5%. Tariff concerns eased with the effective US tariff rate at 13.7% post-negotiations.

BEARISH WARNINGS

ULVR - Deeply Oversold, Bear Below All EMAs
RSI at 18.2 - the most oversold stock in the scanner by far. Below all EMAs. Below POC (4893) by 14.4%. Heavy selling volume (rv=1.9). Lost 6.6% on the week. Hit new 52-week low at 4068. MACD deeply bearish. This is a falling knife - do NOT try to catch the bounce until RSI shows a bullish divergence and price reclaims EMA20 (4643). The close at 4187 is 16.3% below EMA200 (5006) - extreme dislocation.

SHEL / BP - Energy Reversal Despite Oil Strength
SHEL dropped 3.9% with a MACD bearish crossover despite oil at $100+. Hit 52-week high intraday (3563.5) then reversed hard. BP fell 5.0% with RSI dropping 12.6 pts. Both remain above all EMAs but the reversal signals are fresh and strong. Distribution pattern - institutions selling into strength.

DGE - Continued Bear Trend
RSI at 35.0, below all EMAs, 37% from 52-week highs. Near 52-week lows (1350). Persistent downtrend with no signs of reversal. Avoid.

RKT - Below All EMAs, Oversold
RSI at 34.7. Below all three EMAs and below POC (5949) by 12.9%. MACD deeply bearish (ADX 45.3 - strong downtrend). Consumer goods sector under pressure. Avoid until trend structure changes.

HLN - Crossed Below EMA200 (NEW)
Haleon just crossed below EMA200 (373.25) to close at 371.5. Below all EMAs now despite a MACD bullish crossover. The EMA200 break is the more important signal - this turns negative until price recovers 373.

TOP SWING TRADE SETUPS (for Tuesday 7 April open)

1. LLOY -- Bank Breakout Continuation

NEW setup triggered 1 April. Crossed above both EMA20 (95.03) and EMA50 (97.39) on a single day with MACD bullish crossover. RSI surged from 41.7 to 53.6. Banking sector had coordinated institutional buying.

Entry: 97-98 (pullback to EMA50) · Stop: 90.3 (below EMA200) · T1: 105 (POC level) · T2: 114.5 (52w high) · R:R: 1:1.0 / 1:2.1
Confluence: 4/5 -- Trend (just turned bull), MACD crossover, RSI momentum surge, sector strength. Volume 1.27x normal.
Risk: Easter weekend -- gap risk on Tuesday open. Size half until direction confirmed.


2. NWG -- Multi-EMA Reclaim + Bank Sector Tailwind

NEW setup. Crossed above EMA20 (562.80) and EMA200 (568.21) on 1 April. 4-day up streak, RSI surged 10.4 pts. Still below EMA50 (587.34) -- needs to clear that for full confirmation.

Entry: 580-585 (current level / pullback) · Stop: 555 (below prior swing low, 1.5x ATR) · T1: 605 (POC level) · T2: 640 · R:R: 1:1.0 / 1:2.2
Confluence: 3/5 -- RSI momentum, EMA reclaim, sector tailwind. Needs EMA50 break for 4/5.


3. RR. -- Defence Sector Momentum

NEW setup. +6.6% day, crossed above EMA20 (1200.92). Still below EMA50 (1225.22) and below POC (1262.63). RSI surged 10.5 pts from oversold territory. Defence spending narrative intact with Hormuz tensions.

Entry: 1207-1215 (at pivot level) · Stop: 1146 (below 1x ATR from entry) · T1: 1263 (POC) · T2: 1310 · R:R: 1:0.9 / 1:1.6
Confluence: 3/5 -- Momentum surge, EMA20 reclaim, geopolitical catalyst. Below EMA50 and POC limit conviction.


4. LGEN -- Triple EMA Reclaim

NEW setup. Crossed above ALL THREE EMAs (EMA20=248.06, EMA50=253.61, EMA200=250.85) in a single session. RSI surged 8.5 pts. Insurance/financial sector strength.

Entry: 254-256 (pullback to EMA50 area) · Stop: 242 (below EMA20 by 1x ATR) · T1: 270 · T2: 279.5 (52w high) · R:R: 1:1.2 / 1:1.9
Confluence: 4/5 -- Triple EMA reclaim, RSI surge, MACD bull cross, sector strength.


5. ULVR -- Mean Reversion (Counter-Trend, HALF SIZE)

NOT new -- this has been developing for weeks. RSI 18.2 is EXTREME oversold (lowest in the entire scanner). Price at 4187 is 24.2% below 52w high and hit a new 52w low at 4068. Heavy volume (rv=1.93) suggests capitulation selling. HOWEVER: below all EMAs, MACD bearish, no exhaustion candle yet. Wait for a reversal candle before entry.

Entry: 4100-4150 (on reversal candle / hammer) · Stop: 4050 (below 52w low) · T1: 4440 (EMA9) · T2: 4643 (EMA20) · R:R: 1:3.4 / 1:5.4
Confluence: 2/5 -- Only extreme oversold RSI and volume capitulation. NO trend confirmation. HALF SIZE ONLY.



INTRADAY SETUPS (for Tuesday 7 April)

Note: Pivot and Camarilla levels are calculated from 1 April session. If the market gaps significantly on Tuesday due to the long weekend, recalculate before trading.

1. LLOY -- Camarilla S3 Long (Range Fade)

Daily trend just turned bullish. If LLOY pulls back to Cam S3 (around 95.03, near the EMA20), it's a buy-the-dip opportunity.
Direction: LONG · Entry: Cam S3 ~95 · Stop: below Cam S4 ~92 · Target: Pivot ~97.5 · R:R: 1:0.8
Why: MACD just crossed bullish, RSI momentum confirms. Sector-wide bank buying.


2. BAE -- Pivot Retest Long

Classic Pivot at 2269. If BAE opens near this level, it's a long opportunity with daily bull trend.
Direction: LONG · Entry: Pivot 2269 · Stop: below S1 2231 · Target: R1 2333 · R:R: 1:1.7
Why: Bull (above all EMAs), defence sector momentum, close to 52w high (-2.8%). POC at 2116 far below -- price accepted at higher levels.
Cam levels: S3 2267 . R3 2323 . S4 2239 . R4 2351


3. RIO -- Camarilla R3 Breakout

RIO is near its 52w high (-5.8%). Cam R3 at 7148.53, R4 at 7179.05. A break above R4 signals a trend day targeting R1 classic at 7169 then R2 at 7221.
Direction: LONG · Entry: above Cam R4 ~7179 · Stop: below Cam R3 ~7149 · Target: Classic R2 7221 then 7280 · R:R: 1:1.4
Why: Bull (above all EMAs), 4-day streak, mining sector strong. Week +10.7%.


4. SHEL -- Pivot Bounce Short (Counter-Trend)

SHEL dropped 3.9% on 1 April with MACD bearish crossover and RSI dropping 15.8 pts -- despite oil at $110+. This is institutional profit-taking. If SHEL opens near Pivot (3480), fading back toward S1.
Direction: SHORT · Entry: Pivot ~3480 · Stop: above R1 3527 · Target: S1 3396 then S2 3348 · R:R: 1:1.8
Why: Despite bullish daily structure, short-term momentum has flipped bearish. MACD bear cross, RSI drop of 15.8 pts in one day. Sell-the-news pattern on oil spike.
CAUTION: Counter-trend trade -- daily is still bull above all EMAs. HALF SIZE.

BEARISH WARNINGS

ULVR -- Extreme Oversold but NO Reversal Signal Yet
RSI 18.2 is the lowest reading in the entire FTSE 100 scanner. Price made a new 52-week low at 4068. Below all EMAs by huge margins (EMA20 at 4643, EMA50 at 4852, EMA200 at 5006). MACD deeply bearish. Heavy selling volume (rv=1.93). This is a falling knife -- do NOT buy until a reversal candle appears.

DGE -- Persistent Downtrend
RSI 35.0 approaching oversold. Below all EMAs. -37% from 52w high. MACD bull cross (below zero) hints at potential stabilisation, but no confirmation yet. 52w low at 1350 is close -- a break below opens the trap door.

RKT -- Consumer Weakness
RSI 34.7. Below all EMAs. -20.4% from 52w high. MACD has a bull cross below zero which is a tentative positive, but the daily structure is firmly bearish. POC at 5949 is miles above current price of 5184.

III -- Dead Cat Bounce?
+6.0% day with heavy volume (rv=1.72) looks impressive, but context matters: III is -42.5% from its 52w high, below all three EMAs, and MACD is still bearish. The 4-day bounce has taken RSI from 23.7 to 40.1 -- progress, but not enough. Needs to reclaim EMA20 (2734) for any bullish case.

BP -- Profit-Taking Risk
Despite oil at $110+, BP fell 5% on 1 April. RSI dropped 12.6 pts in a single session. Still above all EMAs (bull structure intact), but the sharp RSI reversal is a warning. If oil pulls back over the Easter weekend, BP could test EMA20 at 553.

SHEL -- Selling Into Strength
Same pattern as BP. MACD bearish crossover triggered. RSI dropped 15.8 pts. -3.9% despite oil at multi-year highs. Smart money taking profits. Still above all EMAs but momentum has turned.



EVENTS CALENDAR

This Week:
- Fri 3 Apr: Good Friday -- UK and US markets CLOSED
- Mon 6 Apr: Easter Monday -- UK markets CLOSED (US markets reopen)
- Tue 7 Apr: UK markets reopen. Expect volatility -- 4-day gap to digest.

Macro Context:
- Strait of Hormuz crisis ongoing. Oil at $110+ is the dominant macro driver.
- Iran-Oman protocol monitoring Hormuz traffic -- no resolution in sight.
- Trump speech provided no ceasefire roadmap -- geopolitical risk elevated.
- UK economic data: watch for PMI updates and any BoE commentary next week.

Earnings (FTSE 100):
- No major FTSE 100 earnings this week due to Easter.
- Note: Compass Group (CPG) switched trading currency to USD on 1 April -- all historical GBP data is now discontinuous.

Key Risk: The 4-day market closure creates significant gap risk. Oil prices, Hormuz developments, and any US market moves on Monday (when UK is still closed) will all feed into Tuesday's opening print. Size positions accordingly.



Not financial advice. Always DYOR. Capital at risk.

Thursday 2 April 2026
Data: Close 1 April | UKX: ~10,350 | Futures: ~10,279 (-1.4%)

Source: Investing.com FTSE 100 Futures at 10,278.5 (-146.6 pts, -1.41%). Yesterday's strong rally (+1.7%) being given back in pre-market amid renewed oil volatility after Trump's Iran address and Brent surging to $105.53.



NOTABLE CHANGES (Day-over-Day)

These are the biggest moves from yesterday -- the stocks that demand attention today:

CPG (Compass Group) -- DATA NOTE: Compass switched its LSE trading currency from GBP pence to USD on 1 April. The -98.6% shown is a currency redenomination, NOT a business collapse. Exclude from TA signals. Business remains solid (7.3% organic revenue growth in Q1).

LLOY +5.8% -- RSI surged 11.9 pts, crossed ABOVE EMA20 and EMA50, MACD bullish crossover. New swing setup triggered.
NWG +5.4% -- RSI surged 10.4 pts, crossed ABOVE EMA20 and EMA200, 4-day up streak, week +9.0%.
HSBA +5.3% -- RSI surged 10.2 pts, crossed ABOVE EMA50 and POC, 4-day up streak, week +7.4%.
RR. +6.6% -- RSI surged 10.5 pts, crossed ABOVE EMA20. Biggest single-day mover.
III +6.0% -- Heavy volume (rv=1.7), 4-day up streak, week +12.4%. Bouncing from near 52-week lows.
BARC +5.1% -- RSI surged 9.3 pts, crossed ABOVE EMA20 and EMA200, week +6.1%.
BP -5.0% -- RSI dropped 12.6 pts. Sharp reversal despite oil strength. Possible profit-taking after 52-week high approach.
SHEL -3.9% -- RSI dropped 15.8 pts, MACD bearish crossover. Also selling off despite oil at $105+.



SECTOR HEATMAP

STRONG -- Banks/Financials: avg +4.9% (LLOY +5.8%, HSBA +5.3%, BARC +5.1%, NWG +5.4%, STAN +3.7%). Massive coordinated rally with multiple EMA crossovers. Best sector by far. Insurers also strong: PRU +4.4%, LGEN +3.5%.

STRONG -- Defence/Aerospace: BAE +4.3% (new 52-week high territory), RR. +6.6%.

STRONG -- Mining: RIO +2.5%, AAL +5.2%, ANTO +4.7%, GLEN -0.5%. Broad-based strength except Glencore. RIO on a 4-day streak, week +10.7%.

NEUTRAL -- Pharma: AZN +2.3%, GSK +2.1%. Steady gains, both above all EMAs.

NEUTRAL -- Utilities: NG +2.0%, SSE +3.1%. Recovering, both above all EMAs/POC.

WEAK -- Oil & Gas: SHEL -3.9%, BP -5.0%. Unusual divergence -- oil at $105 but both stocks sold off hard. SHEL MACD bearish crossover. Possible "sell the news" on Iran de-escalation hopes.

WEAK -- Consumer Staples: ULVR -0.3% (at 52-week low, RSI 18.2 -- deeply oversold), DGE -0.1% (near 52-week low), BATS -1.3%, RKT +1.9% (still below all EMAs). Whole sector under pressure.

Broke back above EMA20 (1200.9) on high conviction (+6.6%). RSI surged 10.5 pts to 49.2 -- approaching bull territory. Still below EMA50 (1225.2) which is the next target. POC at 1262.6 is the medium-term magnet.

Entry: 2580-2600 Stop: 2465 (prev day low) T1: 2734 (EMA20) T2: 2987 (EMA50) R:R: 1:1.1
CAUTION: Counter-trend setup. Half size. Still below all EMAs -- this is a recovery play, not a trend trade.


5. GLEN -- Bull Trend Near 52-Week High (CONTINUING)

Above all EMAs, RSI 67.1 (strong but not yet overbought), above POC at 503.8. Just 2.6% from 52-week high of 577.3. Weekly chart: +5.7%. ADX only 12.7 suggesting early stage trend, not exhausted.
Entry: 560-563 Stop: 543 (below EMA20 at 532.9) T1: 577 (52wH) T2: 592 (Cam R4) R:R: 1:1.5
Confluence: Above all EMAs + above POC + near breakout + sector (mining) strength



INTRADAY SETUPS


1. RIO -- Pivot Bounce Long

Why: Bull trend + above all EMAs + above POC + 4-day streak + mining sector strong


2. GSK -- Camarilla Range Long at S3

Daily trend: Bull (above all EMAs). Cam S3-R3 range: 2092.2 to 2121.9 (29.7 pts vs ATR 45.2 -- tight range, good for fade). Above POC 2048.4.
Direction: LONG
Entry: 2092 (Cam S3) Stop: 2077 (below Cam S4) T1: 2107 (pivot area) T2: 2122 (Cam R3) R:R: 1:2.0
Why: Bull trend + tight Cam range (fade setup) + pharma steady + above POC


3. BAE -- Breakout Watch Above Cam R4

Hit new 52-week highs yesterday at 2307. Cam R4 at 2351.1. If price breaks above R4, this becomes a trend day long. Week +9.7%.
Direction: LONG
Entry: 2352+ (confirmed break above Cam R4) Stop: 2323 (below Cam R3) T1: 2371 (Classic R2) T2: 2435 (Classic R3) R:R: 1:2.8
Why: New 52-week high territory + bull trend above all EMAs + defence sector momentum


4. SHEL -- Pivot Fade Short

Despite being above all EMAs, SHEL dropped 3.9% with a MACD bearish crossover and RSI plunging 15.8 pts. If opens near R1 3527.3 or Classic Pivot 3479.7, fade short.
Direction: SHORT
Entry: 3480-3527 (Pivot to R1) Stop: 3560 (above prev day area) T1: 3432 (prev low) T2: 3396 (S1) R:R: 1:1.6
Why: MACD bear cross + RSI dropped 15.8 pts + oil sector divergence from crude price + mean reversion candidate


5. AZN -- Camarilla Range Long at S3

Bull trend above all EMAs. Cam S3-R3 range: 14958 to 15086 (128 pts vs ATR 353 -- narrow range). Above POC 14474. Week +8.6%.

BEARISH WARNINGS

ULVR -- Deeply Oversold at 52-Week Low
RSI 18.2 is extremely oversold. Close at 4187, sitting at the 52-week low of 4068 (hit intraday yesterday). Below all EMAs. Heavy selling volume (rv=1.93). MACD deeply bearish. Week -6.6%. This looks like a capitulation phase. Not tradeable short here -- too oversold -- but not buyable yet either. Wait for RSI divergence or a hammer candle at support before considering a reversal long.

DGE -- Persistent Downtrend Near 52-Week Low
RSI 35.0, below all EMAs, close at 1395 vs 52-week low of 1350. MACD has turned slightly bullish (above signal) but both lines remain well below zero. No reversal signal yet. The entire consumer staples sector is under pressure.

RKT -- Below All EMAs, Bearish Structure
RSI 34.7, below all three EMAs and POC (5949). Close at 5184 vs EMA200 at 5688. ADX at 45.3 confirms a strong trend -- unfortunately, it is a strong downtrend. MACD slightly above signal but both deeply negative. Week +1.9% suggests some stabilisation but the structure remains firmly bearish.

SHEL -- MACD Bearish Crossover Despite Bull Trend
Still above all EMAs but yesterday's -3.9% with a MACD bearish crossover and RSI dropping 15.8 pts is a warning. If this continues, SHEL could test EMA20 at 3373. Watch for a retest of yesterday's low at 3432 -- if it breaks, expect 3373 next. Unusual divergence from oil prices -- may signal broader oil sector rotation.

HLN -- Crossed Below EMA200
Haleon crossed below its EMA200 yesterday -- a bearish development. Despite a MACD bullish crossover, the EMA200 break is the dominant signal. RSI at 45.6, below POC (383.0). Watch for follow-through selling.

BP -- Sharp Reversal From Near 52-Week High
Was just 5.5% from 52-week highs but dropped 5.0% in one session with RSI falling 12.6 pts. Still above all EMAs so the trend is technically bullish, but the selling pressure is severe. Oil at $105+ should be supportive -- the divergence is concerning. Watch EMA20 at 553 as the first support test.



EVENTS CALENDAR

- Bank of England rate held at 3.75% (19 March decision). Next MPC meeting: 8 May 2026.

Tuesday 1 April 2026
Data: Close 31 March | UKX: ~10,176 | Futures: 10,294 (+0.10%)

Source: Investing.com FTSE 100 Futures, 1 Apr 2026 pre-market



MARKET OVERVIEW

The FTSE 100 closed at approximately 10,176 on Monday 31 March, gaining 0.48% on the session. Futures are pointing to a flat-to-slightly-higher open on Tuesday at 10,294 (+0.10%). The index continues to trade in a broadly constructive range, supported by energy sector strength (Brent crude at ~$118/barrel amid Strait of Hormuz tensions) and a rebound in defence names. Mining stocks are also rallying on improved risk appetite and easing Iran tensions. Against this, consumer staples remain under pressure -- Unilever hit a new 52-week low and Diageo continues to slide. Q4 UK GDP confirmed at +0.1% and house prices surprised to the upside (+0.9% in March).

Key macro drivers for Tuesday: Brent crude elevated above $118, ongoing Strait of Hormuz closure risk, FCA car loan redress bill (GBP7.5bn), and Q1 end-of-quarter rebalancing flows.



NOTABLE CHANGES (Day-over-Day)

These are the most significant moves from yesterday's session compared to the prior day:

ULVR -- RSI dropped 9.5 pts, -7.3% day, heavy volume (rv=2.6), new 52-week low at 4,197. McCormick deal rumours + global hiring freeze. Week: -7.2%.

BATS -- Crossed BELOW EMA20, BELOW EMA50, BELOW POC. Tobacco giant losing all short-term support, -1.2% day.

III -- +3.4% bounce, heavy volume (rv=2.0), but still -12.7% on the week. Dead cat bounce or capitulation low? Still deep bear below all EMAs.

BAE -- Crossed ABOVE EMA20, +3.2% day. Defence spending catalyst. Touched 2,200 (52-week high zone).

RR. -- Crossed ABOVE EMA200 at 1,110. Recovery signal, but still -5.2% on the week and below EMA20/50.

BP -- 5-day up streak, +6.9% on the week. New 52-week high at 609. Oil bull in full swing.

LSEG -- +3.1% big move, reclaiming ground above EMA20 and EMA50.

CPG -- Heavy volume (rv=3.1) but only +0.2% change. Accumulation or distribution? Below all EMAs -- watch closely.

TOP SWING TRADE SETUPS


1. BP -- Momentum Long (CONTINUING)

5-day winning streak, new 52-week high at 609.4. Price above all EMAs with strong ADX (41.7). RSI at 73.4 (overbought) so expect pullbacks, but the trend is powerful. Brent crude above $118 is the fundamental driver.

Entry: 600-606 (pullback to EMA9 at 577 for aggressive add) · Stop: 583 (below 1x ATR) · T1: 625 · T2: 650 · R:R: 1:1.8
Close above POC (495). Volume normal (rv=0.78). Confluence: 4/5 (trend + structure + momentum + fundamental).
Caution: RSI overbought -- trail stop, don't add at highs.


2. GLEN -- Breakout Long (CONTINUING)

Testing 52-week high at 571.2 on Tuesday. Above all EMAs, MACD bullish. Mining sector tailwind from easing Iran tensions and commodity demand. ADX only 11.6 though -- trend not yet fully established.

Entry: 562-566 (on pullback to R1 pivot) · Stop: 545 (below S3 pivot) · T1: 580 · T2: 600 · R:R: 1:1.7
Above POC (502) by 12.7%. Needs volume confirmation (rv=0.83, slightly below avg).
Best entered on a clean break and hold above 571 with volume.


3. RIO -- Recovery Swing Long (NEW today)

+2.5% on the day, +5.8% on the week. Above all EMAs. MACD bear recovering (crossing up). RSI 56.5 with room to run. Above POC (6,734).

Entry: 6,900-6,950 (pullback) · Stop: 6,700 (below EMA50 at 6,672) · T1: 7,100 · T2: 7,300 · R:R: 1:1.5
ADX 34.3 -- solid trend strength. Week: +5.8% confirms momentum.


4. ULVR -- Mean Reversion Long (NEW -- HIGH RISK)

RSI at 18.5 (deeply oversold), -7.3% on the day, new 52-week low. McCormick deal could be a catalyst if confirmed. Heavy volume (rv=2.6) suggests capitulation selling.

Entry: 4,200-4,230 (only if RSI divergence forms on lower TF) · Stop: 4,090 (below Cam S4) · T1: 4,450 (Cam R1 area) · T2: 4,690 (EMA20) · R:R: 1:2.3
HALF SIZE ONLY. Counter-trend. Below all EMAs and POC. Only valid if selling exhaustion confirmed -- do not catch falling knife.


5. LSEG -- Breakout Recovery Long (NEW today)

+3.1% day, reclaiming above EMA20 and EMA50. Still below EMA200 (9,024) which is the next major target. RSI 60.4 with room.

Entry: 8,800-8,864 · Stop: 8,500 (below EMA50 at 8,443) · T1: 9,024 (EMA200) · T2: 9,200 · R:R: 1:1.3
ADX only 12.8 -- weak trend, so keep size modest until ADX picks up.



INTRADAY SETUPS


1. SHEL -- Camarilla R3 Breakout Long

Closed at 3,583, right at Cam R3 (3,604). In a strong uptrend (ADX 44). If price pushes through R3 early, trend day likely.

Entry: Break above 3,604 (Cam R3) · Stop: 3,568 (below Cam S2) · T1: 3,625 (Cam R4) · T2: 3,650 · R:R: 1:1.3 · Direction: Long
Why: 4-day up streak, above all EMAs, oil at $118. Daily trend fully supports intraday longs.


2. BAE -- Pivot Bounce Long

Classic pivot at 2,169. If BAE pulls back to pivot after yesterday's +3.2% surge, look for bounce.

Entry: 2,169-2,175 (Classic pivot) · Stop: 2,138 (below S1) · T1: 2,200 (yesterday's high) · T2: 2,231 (R1) · R:R: 1:1.8 · Direction: Long
Why: Crossed above EMA20, defence sector momentum, above POC.


3. BATS -- Camarilla S3 Fade Short

Lost EMA20, EMA50, and POC yesterday. If price bounces to Cam R1 (4,378) or R3 (4,392), fade the rally.

Why: Just broke below three key support levels. Daily trend shifting bearish. Fade rallies.

Classic pivot at 6,899, right near yesterday's close (6,944). Strong daily trend.

Entry: 6,890-6,900 (Classic pivot) · Stop: 6,825 (below S1) · T1: 7,018 (R1) · T2: 7,092 (R2) · R:R: 1:1.6 · Direction: Long
Why: +2.5% day, above all EMAs, MACD recovering, above POC. Mining sector strong.
