FTSE 100 report AI transcript
Hello everybody and welcome again to a different Brooks Buying and selling Course weekend market replace. My title is Tim Fairweather. I’m an expert worth motion day dealer. And at the moment I’m going to cowl the FTSE 100 futures. So let’s go and have a look.
Effectively, let’s check out the month-to-month chart. In order we lined final week, the month-to-month chart was a bear inside bar, and it’s obtained a small tail under, and it’s sitting in a bull channel.
So the bears see it as a second entry brief. We triggered under this bear bar, additionally an inside bar, and now we’ve obtained one other bear inside bar. So we’re searching for a set off under that bar.
What are the bulls doing? Effectively, the bulls have gotten three consecutive bull bars closing on their highs. We’ve had a pause.
We’ve triggered above a purchase sign as soon as, and I think we’re going to do it once more. So even when the bears are in a position to get down decrease, bulls are going to be joyful to purchase above something under that. Bullish or fade something bearish above that transferring common. It’s a breakout check of the prior all time excessive.
On the FTSE 100 futures weekly chart, we will see what we stated final week about fading under a bear inside bar. The bulls can be joyful to purchase below that bar and the transferring common, betting that this isn’t going to be the beginning of a stronger pullback. Bears had an opportunity to create a spike, however they’d a few legs. One, fours, foo. Pullback three or one or two. We’re beginning to go above the excessive of pullbacks.
This was a pullback for the bears. They see it as a decrease excessive they usually’ve obtained a deeper push down, however now we’ve gone above that. So bears have to work very exhausting to persuade merchants. That’s the place for a cease for a swing down as an alternative. Bulls are seeing this as a broad bull channel. They know one of the best the bears are going to get might be a wedge.
And at this stage, it’s most likely not going to be a decrease low. It’s going to be the next low for that wedge and inverse head and shoulders. So merchants are joyful to purchase under something bearish, purchase the transferring common and scale in decrease. Betting we’re going to go and check again as much as the all time highest. So it wasn’t an excellent cease entry above final week, and we didn’t even go as much as set off it.
Merchants most likely purchased the shut of that bull bar, which is an inexpensive commerce. They’re additionally in a position to purchase under that bar by under that honest inside bar. And it appears to be like like they obtained again to the excessive of that bar, however there’s no purpose for these merchants to panic. It’s a good buying and selling vary.
There’s been numerous reversals and it’s 50 50, however in conditions like this. Once we name it 50 50 breakout mode, I all the time give an additional 5 % to the merchants which have the transferring common. The 20 bar EMA, we’re above the 200. So I’m going to offer that additional proportion to the bulls. Are we all the time in lengthy or all the time briefly? Effectively, if that is the swing level down right here, or if the underside of the robust bull breakout is the low of the swing level, we by no means broke it.
And that is most likely the explanation it’s tough for bears to swing. They’ve obtained to place a cease all the way in which up right here, they usually’re promoting in the midst of a buying and selling vary. As we rise up larger, we would discover extra bear, extra bears prepared to promote there. However what’s the purpose? We’re all the time in lengthy. We’re above the transferring averages.
It’s most likely higher to purchase and purchase decrease, slightly than having to fade a bull breakout in a bull development. So on the FTSE 100 futures, Subsequent week, nonetheless all the time in lengthy, nonetheless above the transferring common, nevertheless it’s actually for, uh, extra skilled merchants buying and selling in a good buying and selling vary, in any other case ready for the subsequent purchase sign.
So let’s check out the FTSE 100 each day chart. So on the each day chart, we will see that tight buying and selling vary breakout mode and that triangle. That we’re squeezing in, we’ve obtained barely decrease highs and we’re beginning to get larger lows and it’s squeezing into this worth vary. So what do the bulls see?
Effectively, they nonetheless see a bull channel. You possibly can see that, you’ll be able to see that wedge backside and try to double high bear flag for a development down failed. So it’s a bull channel. We’ve obtained a bull breakout, breaks a development line. After which down right here, we get a decrease low. So bulls see it as a decrease low main development reversal.
And so they need this to maintain going up, which is probably going in a bull channel. However bears maintain getting units you. Of very robust bear bars. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. 3 enormous bear bars. 4, 5. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 in a row. Bears are usually not prepared to surrender on this worth level but. I’ve highlighted a few wedge trades inside that buying and selling vary, however you’ll be able to see there’s numerous reversals and sideways worth motion.
Final week, although the bears had been in a position to get a powerful promote down, There was no observe by way of, and we instantly got here again to the midpoint. And I think the identical goes to occur for the bulls. Bulls are joyful to purchase below the transferring common, betting we’re going to go up and run these skunk stops, however then go sideways and are available again.
So not nice for cease entry merchants on this timeframe. Is it all the time in lengthy or all the time briefly on this timeframe? Effectively, let’s have a look. That was the final swing level for the bulls from the excessive. And we went under it. In order that places the market right into a buying and selling vary. Some merchants would possibly argue that as a result of there’s two swing factors right here, we took out each that it’s all the time briefly.
Both manner, as soon as we went above the excessive of that spike right here, we put it again right into a buying and selling vary. So slightly than getting too hung up on the swing factors, you’ll be able to simply have a look and go, nicely, we’re going sideways. This transferring common is the 200 is up. So it’s most likely a continuation sample in the next timeframe bull development.
Bear’s obtained a spike three legged pullback. However have actually struggled to get continuation down right here. Do they get yet one more leg? So it’s ABCD to shut that hole. That’s doable in a buying and selling vary, however the bulls are going to be defending this. Now you’ve obtained the next timeframe, transferring common and an open hole, they usually need bears to fail right here.
That may enable bulls to purchase low on this buying and selling vary for a check of the all time excessive. So a buying and selling vary on the each day chart and all the time in lengthy on the weekly and the month-to-month chart. So tough for cease entry merchants on these larger time frames. We’re in breakout mode ready for a stronger sign. So most likely higher to be buying and selling a decrease timeframe chart the place the worth motion is a bit of bit extra clear.
Effectively, thanks very a lot for watching. It’s been a Brooks Buying and selling Course Weekend Market Replace. My title’s Tim Fairweather and I’ll see you subsequent week. Comfortable buying and selling.
