Today’s charts are for the FTSE 100, DAX, Dow, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Gold, Ascent, Audioboom, East Star, Fusion Antibodies, Greatland, Phoenix Copper, Pensana, Tribal, and Transense.\n\nMarkets have taken on a distinctly upbeat tone. Major indices are breaking short-term resistance, cryptocurrencies are probing recovery levels, and commodity moves are adding fuel to bullish scenarios. The common thread is the 50-day moving average and the relative strength index (RSI, acting as the clearing house for the next leg of any move. Below is a concise, chart-focused read on the key instruments and small-cap names showing the most actionable setups.\n\nAs always, do your own research and treat these as chart-based observations rather than hard recommendations.\n\n### Indices\n\n#### FTSE 100\n\nThe FTSE looks comfortable above a recently broken resistance line, with a nominal pivot at **9,700**. The immediate aim is a run back toward last month’s highs near **9,900**, and the top of the rising trend channel sits near **10,000**. Expect progress toward that area by the end of next month if momentum continues. Downside risk is anchored by the 50 day moving average around **9,626**. RSI in the upper 50s supports the bullish case.\n\n#### DAX\n\nA clean break through the October resistance near **24,150** opens the road toward record highs around **24,600**, with a longer term channel top closer to **26,300**. The 50 day moving average, just under **24,000**, is the key support to stay above for the uptrend to remain intact.\n\n#### Dow\n\nThe Dow is rapidly approaching a year end target near **49,000**. Support has been steady above a rising 50 day line and price has shown two RSI rebounds above 50, a bullish leading indicator. If momentum holds, a projection toward **51,300** is plausible by the end of next month. The bullish view breaks if the index drops below the 50 day moving average around **47,000**.\n\n### Cryptocurrencies\n\n#### Bitcoin\n\nBitcoin has pushed above a resistance area in the low **90,000**s, with an initial hurdle at the old support near **93,000**. A decisive reclaim of **94,000** to **95,000** would clear the way to the 50 day moving average around **97,500** and then psychological resistance near **100,000**. On the downside, the April uptrend sits near **88,000**, and the lower channel floor around **81,400** would be the worst case. Note that RSI remains below the neutral 50 level, so confirmation is still needed.\n\n#### Ethereum\n\nEthereum has regained the **3,000** area and is fighting to stay above the 50 day moving average at about **3,306**. Above that, the 200 day average at **3,557** is the next technical target. Dips toward the **3,000** zone look like buying opportunities while RSI sits comfortably above 50.\n\n### Commodities\n\n#### Gold\n\nGold gapped higher through a sticky resistance near **4,260**, which is a strong bullish signal. With the gap cleared, the top of the October trend channel suggests a stretch target near **4,600** by the end of next month. Support to protect that view is the floor of the latest channel and the 50 day moving average near **4,107**.\n\n### Selected Small Caps and Mid Caps\n\nThese names have actionable chart setups. Targets and key support levels are given for each, with a time horizon biased toward month end or the end of next month.\n\n- **Ascent**, bouncing off the floor of a rising trend channel. End of day close above **0.46p** would be constructive. Targets: **0.60p** by month end, best case** 07.0p** next month. Support near **0.40p**.\n\n- **Audioboom**, edging higher after results. Key resistance zone between **600p** and **700p**. Expect to challenge **680p** by month end, best case near **900p** next month, provided price stays above **600p**. Suggested stop area near **595p**.\n\n- **East Star**, momentum is building after cracking the old target. Current action near **3.75p**, first objective **4p**. Above that, look toward a fresh target around **5p**. Stay long on the right side of **3.5p**.\n\n- **Fusion Antibodies**, resistance broken around **16.75p**. Next target **24p** in the coming weeks.\n\n- **Greatland**, gapped up strongly, mirroring the gold move. Past the ambitious **460p** target, the top of the rising channel points as high as **600p** by the end of next month. Director buying has been notable.\n\n- **Phoenix Copper**, bouncing from deeply oversold territory. A close above the recent resistance around **1.91p** should expose **2.0p** to **2.5p**, the midpoint of a prior sharp decline.\n\n- **Pensana**, attempting to recover from the October sell off. Maintain exposure while price holds above the rising support near **95p** to **100p**. Near term targets: **109p** initial, best case **115p** and then the 50 day average.\n\n- **Tribal Group**, low volume but steady. Riding a rising trend channel and the top of that channel sits near **82p**. Keep position while above the rising 50 day line at about **63p**.\n\n- **Transense**, showing classic strength with rising 50 and 200 day lines. Price has cleared recent resistance near **127p** and the channel top is around **154p**. The setup includes an extended RSI rebound above 50, which adds conviction.\n\n### Practical Rules and Takeaways\n\n- 50 day moving average is the clearest dividing line between constructive and vulnerable price action across multiple instruments.\n\n- RSI above 50 on rebounds tends to be a reliable leading indicator for further upside.\n\n- Watch for decisive breaks, not just probes, of resistance levels before assuming a new leg up.\n\n- Manage risk by defining support levels and stop areas. For several small caps, support zones were highlighted above.\n\n- Gaps and director buying can be catalysts, but confirm momentum with moving average alignment and RSI.\n\nMarkets are in an encouraging posture, but confirmation remains important. Holding above key moving averages and seeing continued RSI strength will justify stretching targets into the new year. More updates will be useful as these setups evolve.\n\n**Disclaimer & Declaration of Interest:**\n\nThe information, investment views, and recommendations in this Zaks Traders Cafe interview are provided for general information purposes only.
