FTSE 100 NEWS AND ANALYSIS

  • FTSE 100 continues lower – crucial long-term support on the horizon

FSTE 100 Plagued by Weak GDP Data, Political Missteps and Rising Yields

The FTSE 100 remains vulnerable to downside risk as traders and investors eye key dates later this month. The Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey confirmed that Friday marks the last day the Bank stands ready to intervene in the bond markets in an attempt to quell reports of the possibility of an extension. As discussed earlier by Nick Cawley in his GBP update, the end to the Bank’s support sets a target for those who wish to test the BoE’s resolve. UK central bankers’ jobs have been made even tougher after August GDP figures revealed a shock decline in growth – something the new Prime Minister is looking to tackle head on.

After calming the longer-dated UK bond markets via direct purchases by the central bank, the 30-year government yield in on course to test the recent high - around 6 basis points away at the time of writing – which may see the Bank step up efforts once more.

    • In a strategic move to further solidify its position in the global cryptocurrency market, Bitget, a leading CEX, has made a significant move by appointing Min Lin as its new Chief Business Officer. With a history of leadership at Binance and Goldman Sachs, Lin brings over a decade of expertise to Bitget's ambitious expansion in Latin America. His unique blend of traditional finance and blockchain experience positions him to navigate the complex market dynamics in the region.  Bitget's CEO, Gracy Chen, believes Lin’s expertise is crucial for their strategic vision. “Min’s track record in scaling cryptocurrency businesses aligns seamlessly with our growth goals,” says Chen. In his new role, Lin emphasizes his commitment to innovation and user-focused products. He aims to promote wider acceptance of blockchain technology while tailoring solutions to meet the unique needs of Latin American users. This move underscores Bitget’s commitment to emerging markets. With a 98% increase in active users in Latin America in 2024, the potential for growth is evident. The question remains: how will this move influence the competitive landscape in Latin America?
    • Exchange tokens are a good alternative investment. Unlike regular coins, they provide access to exclusive privileges, including: -Deduction of trading fees, whether in spot or futures trading -Participation in airdrop campaigns, such as Launchpool, Launchpad, PoolX, and others The benefits of holding an exchange token cannot be overstated, yet many users are still unaware of these advantages.  I currently hold some MX, BGB, BNB, and KCS in my portfolio, though I initially knew little about the privileges associated with them. After joining this Bitget online community, I was able to connect with other BGB holders, interact with them, and discover a lot more. The minimum requirement is 100 BGB to gain access to the community, and there's an ongoing campaign with a range of merchandise giveaways. We could take advantage of this campaign as we’re now in Moonvember if you’re holding more than the minimum required amount. I’m not a financial advisor, so always DYOR.
    • Natural Gas Elliott Wave Analysis The late October recovery continues as the commodity has stayed within a sideways price structure since April 2023. Meanwhile, in the meantime, it appears prices will attempt to break the October and June highs of 2024 to retest the January 2024 and October 2023 highs of the range. From the long-term price action, Natural gas completed the bearish impulse wave sequence from August 2022, when it exchanged for $10, in February 2024 at barely $1.5. That was a whooping crash! However, from the perspective of the Elliottwave theory, a 3-wave correction follows a 5-wave trend. It appears the price is correcting the bearish impulse from August 2022. The correction could advance as much as $4.79-5.8. On the daily chart, the correction starts from 1.522 and is emerging into a zigzag structure of the primary degree. Wave ((A)) finished with an impulse structure at 3.16 in June 2024. Since June, the price fell and went sideways suggesting a triangle structure for wave ((B)). Thus, when wave ((B)) ends, wave ((C)) should advance to $4 or higher. On the H4 chart, it appears wave (E) of ((B)) is incomplete. Thus, the pullback from late October could extend to 2.47 -2.35 to complete wave (E) and then price surges to continue the bullish correction that started on February.
