Technical analysis for FTSE 100 for 15th October 2025
A great reaction at both our long and short order levels yesterday and we have the seen the bulls stage a decent fightback following Friday’s drop. Still not back to the highs prior to that but it’s looking possible. Initially today we may well see a drop down to test the daily pivot area at 9450 and we also have the green 30m coral and 200ema here at 9460. If this 9450 breaks then we will however likely see a slide down to the now bullish Hull MA 9430 whereupon a decent bounce should materialise. Worth a long here if it were to test that.
Lower down then S1 9407 and the bottom of the 20d Raff channel at 9393 would be the likely target for the bears but given that the bias is currently bullish, I am not expecting it to get that low.
Market Bias
| Time Frame | Bias | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Intraday (30 m) | Bullish-neutral | Above pivot and EMAs – momentum recovering |
| Daily | Uptrend intact | Channel support held |
| Momentum | Positive | Rising RSI and EMA alignment |
On the upside, then I am looking for a rise to test the 9520 area today where we have R1 and also the key fib. We may well see the bears have a decent attempt here for another drop down below the 9500 level. Higher up than 9560 R2 and 9566 daily resistance remain in play and should we see this level then a short here is worth a go, as its also near enough to the recent high prior to Friday’s sell off. With the 2h chart now swinging back to bullish Hull MAs then the bias across the board is firmly bullish.
Compared to the FTSE100 the DAX40 bulls are struggling a little bit, and the 2h chart is still not locked in as bullish though the support level of 24300 is trying! We are just testing the 30m 200ema resistance as I write this at 24368 so again a dip and rise may well play out, with a hold of the daily pivot and 30m coral area at 24250 looking like a decent bounce point and worth a long. Ultimately we have some strong resistance at the 24406 key fib level. If the bulls can break this then look for a potential rise towards the 24528 R1 level.
For the S&P500 then again, a dip and rise with a test of the daily pivot at 6631 is looking possible, and then a rise toward the 6707 R1 level. If the bulls were to break above that then look for R2 at 6758 – might be a big ask as it may well consolidate a bit after yesterday but with a decent bullish hammer on the daily chart then the bulls are certainly regaining their strength. Further bank results may well help them today. Below the daily pivot then 6579 S1 and 6550 to set up a double bottom with yesterday are on the radar.
Good luck today.
