FTSE100: Potential 100 Points Drop

Since November, the UK’s major stock index gained nearly 400 points but began correcting downward on Monday, December 9. Early buyers from November are now taking profits, triggering this pullback. In recent hours, the UK100 fell below 8230, aligning with the key 38% Fibonacci retracement level, signaling a potential further decline. Additionally, a Death Cross—a classic bearish indicator—has emerged, reinforcing the strong downward momentum.

These lower levels might draw short-term buyers, possibly causing a brief rebound towards 8240. However, given the correction phase, the index could dip further, potentially retesting the 8140 zone, which aligns with the crucial 61.2% Fibonacci level. Short sellers aiming to capitalize on the prevailing bearish momentum may target a drop of at least 70 points from current levels.
