FTSE 100 Daily Technical Analysis & Setups

Wednesday 27 May 2026
Data: Close 26 May (Tue, post bank-hol catch-up) | UKX (last verified): ~10,466 (Fri 22 May close) | Futures: Data unavailable



MARKET OVERVIEW

Mon 25 May = UK Spring Bank Holiday (LSE closed). Tue 26 May opened with a strong catch-up move, trading near 10,546 in initial dealings, led by miners and banks. No verified Wed 27 May futures print could be confirmed at the time of report generation — trade the levels, not a guessed direction.

Macro: UK CPI April 2.8% (vs 3.3% in March, below 3.0% consensus). Core CPI 2.5%. BoE still flags CPI back toward 3.3% in Q3 on energy/food. Copper at record highs (~$14k/tonne) driven by Strait of Hormuz acid disruption + Grasberg recovery + AI/EV/grid demand. Middle East: fresh US strikes on Iran but tape remains pro-cyclical.

Tone: STRONG UK banks + miners + life insurance. WEAK staples, distributors, energy majors (BP collapsed).



NOTABLE CHANGES (Day-over-Day)

BEARISH BP — Crossed BELOW EMA50, MACD bearish crossover, -4.3%, below POC, week -7.29%, RSI -16.5 pts. Sharpest single-name breakdown on the board.

BEARISH WARNINGS

BEARISH IMB — Bear below ALL EMAs (EMA200 2997). MACD bear. Week -3.29%. 3-day down. Below POC. Path of least resistance: down.

BEARISH ABF — Just crossed BELOW EMA20 today — now bear below all EMAs. ADX 35.5 confirms real trend. Watch 1809 (Cam S4) for next leg.

BEARISH BNZL — Crossed BELOW EMA20. RSI -5 pts day. MACD flattening but still positive — could be re-test. Stop hunt zone.

WEAK VOD — Bear 20/50. 3-day down. Week -2.19%. SRSI 0 (oversold short-term) — bounce plausible but no reversal yet.

WEAK TSCO — Bear 20/50. MACD bear. RSI 42, ADX 15.9.

WATCH RTO — Bear 20/50 but RSI 36.6 / SRSI 6 — closest to OS bounce.

OFF-LIST BP — Crossed below EMA50, MACD bearish crossover, week -7.29%, RSI -16.5 pts in a week. Avoid longs in energy majors until structure repairs.

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.

Friday 22 May 2026
Data: Close 21 May | UKX: ~10,440 (consolidating, range 10,150-10,470 since mid-May) | Futures: no reliable real-time print confirmed - see note



1. MARKET OVERVIEW
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
VOD - Just broke below EMA50 and POC today, -2.1%, RSI 44.5 and falling. Below EMA9/20/50, only EMA200 (101.7) below as support. Primary short.
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.

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).



NOTABLE CHANGES — yesterday vs Friday

SECTOR HEATMAP

WEAK — Miners
AAL -3.31% · ANTO -3.41% · GLEN -2.20% · RIO -2.69%. Synchronised 4-day down streaks, multiple EMA breaks, RSI bleed across the group. Sector under heavy distribution. Avoid longs; only fade rallies.

STRONG — Tobacco / Defensive Consumer
BATS -0.69% (cooling but RSI 68 in firm uptrend) · IMB flat. BATS the standout — bull-all, MACD widening, ADX 37.

MIXED — Banks

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.
