FTSE100 | UK Stock Market | Price Action Masterclass

Hey Traders,

Global indexes are easier to read when you can see where market value exists.

I previously called it short from the highs in this analysis:

03:31

This was just before the mammoth fall in which we have seen. The UK economy has been subdued and the latest Inflation readings are not appetising. This is causing huge uncertainty within the British economy and has led to lowered company forecasts and problems with growth.

Policy setters are attempting to battle their way through and politicians are determined to not give tax cuts further adding to the issue.

The actual index itself has formerly rallied to new highs due to the heavy weighted oil companies within, only briefly. House building companies have dropped out of the FTSE due to mortgage rates and costs.

Overall, Market Sentiment is poor, but a technical perspective persists amongst similar areas where you have had a similar situation. Poor sentiment always comes before good hence my bias.

The UK Index, the FTSE 100 is a great example of using Price Action to wade through the midst. It never lies and will always give you a gauge before you see any improvement in market sentiment and a following upmove.

Risk management is key in these situations. Just because you have a good Tech setup does not mean you should sell the farm and it does not mean the price cannot fall further. So be prepared and plan future entries if applicable to your strategy. But never, ever overleverage, just use Price Action as a guide to entry and a guide to the value of the market.

Here's how I'm trading it.
