- The London Stock Exchange is one of the world’s largest and oldest exchanges, but the U.K.’s FTSE 100 index has significantly underperformed compared to the U.S. Dow Jones.
- Technical analysis suggests a critical setup where the FTSE 100 is consolidating between key resistance and support levels, poised for a major breakout.
- Market sentiment toward the U.K. is deeply contrarian, with current morale described as the lowest in decades, potentially setting the stage for a significant move.
- A breakout above 11,000 could signal an “epic” upward ride, while a fall through 10,000 could be an equally dramatic negative turn.
A critical chart pattern is emerging for the venerable London Stock Exchange, indicating a potential major move for the U.K.’s primary stock index. Technical analysts are now watching a simple but powerful setup that has developed after years of underperformance against U.S. markets.
For a Brit, the long-term comparison chart is sobering, showing “a picture of abject failure” for the FTSE 100 versus the Dow Jones. Consequently, the market finds itself at a pivotal juncture, trapped in a narrow trading range. The current setup is so classic it’s almost invisible, according to analysis from ADVFN.
When the index breaks out of its current box, it is expected to ride significantly in one direction. Meanwhile, the probability of an upward move is estimated at roughly 70%, or a 2-to-1 favorite for British gamblers. Morale in the U.K. is currently the lowest the analyst has ever experienced, making a bullish view deeply contrarian.
The ultimate signal will be a decisive break through either the 11,000 resistance or the 10,000 support level. If the breakout is upward, what happens next could be epic, while a breakdown would likely be epic in a negative way.
