Technical analysis for FTSE 100 for 9th September 2025
For today I am again thinking that we will see a rise and dip and it would be ideal if the FTSE100 manages to test the 9280 resistance area before dropping. There is decent resistance there, if the bulls can break above the 9253 recent high. The US markets looks positive and that may well help to pull the FTSE100 up to start with. We saw a good defence of the 9195 level yesterday in the end, with a bounce back to the 9230 level, so initially the bulls will be looking to build on that and try to push past 9230.
9215 30m 200ema has held overnight as support so any foray below that down towards S1 at the 9200 level will likely see the bulls step up. Initially we are just below the 9221 daily pivot so the bears will be looking to build on that break, hence thinking that a small initial dip will play out. The balls is in the bulls court though.
I am gearing up for a bear Tuesday though so shorting the rallies looks to be the sensible play with the 9250 and 9280 levels looking key. Shorts are worth taking off both of those levels. If the bulls were to break the 9280 area then ultimately we will likely see a retest of the 9337 recent high.
9204 is the current 2h coral (green) and as such should help to support the FTSE100 for today.
That said, if the bears break below the 9190 level then 9170 S2 and 9163 key fib should arrive in short order and will likely see a bounce, though lower down there is the 9027 daily support which the bears will be aiming for if they regain the upper hand. However, I am thinking that any dip is likely to find support at S3 9149 today if it were to get that low.
It's a similar picture for the DAX40 with a rise and dip looking possible and a test of the 23933 key fib resistance which is also just below R2 23947. As such a short in this zone looks to be worth taking. The S1 level at 23708 has held so far this morning and may well act as the early springboard for a rise and dip to play out. Below this then look for the key fib 23623 level as the lower support.
The S&P500 could potentially get a rise to test the 6541 level, if the green 30m coral and daily pivot at 6498 can hold initially. Below that then 6480 is the 2h coral, and also the 30m 200ema. The bulls will be looking to break above the 6532 level being yesterdays high, and just above R2 at 6525. The daily Raff channels continue to head upwards though we are only mid channel on both the 10 & 20 day at the moment, so no trades off the Raffs currently.
Good luck today.
