Chart Analysis
On the daily timeframe, GB100: D1 breached above the resistance line of the short-term downtrend. Now it is correcting upwards from the minimum since August 2011. A number of indicators of technical analysis formed signals for the further increase. We do not exclude bullish movement if GB100 rises above the last two upper fractals: 5840. This level can be used as an entry point. The first stop loss is possible below the Parabolic signal and the last lower fractal: 5340 or below the last low since August 2011: 4830. After opening a pending order, the stop loss should be moved following the Bollinger and Parabolic signals to the next fractal minimum. Thus, we change the potential profit / loss ratio in our favor. After the transaction, the most risk-averse traders can switch to a four-hour chart and set a stop loss, moving it in the direction of the trend. If the price overcomes the stop loss level (5340 or 4830) without activating the order (5840), it is recommended to delete the order: market sustains internal changes not taken into account.
Fundamental Analysis of -
Some British macroeconomic data were not as bad as expected. Will GB100 quotes grow?
The Markit UK Manufacturing PMI in March this year unexpectedly turned out to be better than expected and amounted to 47.8 points. Thus, its decrease was not so significant compared with February data (48 points), despite the spread of coronavirus. In March, the Bank of England increased its asset buyback program, and in particular corporate bonds, by £ 200 billion to £ 645 billion a year. These funds will be used to reduce the debt burden of companies and support the British economy. In addition, the Bank of England lowered the rate to 0.1%. Starting April 15, at this rate, businesses and households crediting will begin as part of the economic assistance program. On April 9, Britain will publish data for February: GDP, trade balance, industrial production and others. If they turn out to be positive, this may support GB100 quotations.
