Zak Mir takes a charting look at some of the most closely followed small caps on the London Stock Exchange. Today’s charts are the **FTSE 100, DAX, Dow, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Gold, WTI Crude Oil, Bango, Buccaneer, Celebrus, 80 Mile, Ferrexpo, Forgent, GCM, KR1, Medpal, Oxford Biomedica, Ondo, RUA.**

Several markets are testing the sort of levels that make the next close more interesting than the latest intraday wobble. The FTSE 100, DAX and Dow are all near channel support, while Bitcoin is trying to turn former resistance into support. Among UK shares, the question is whether recent rebounds can become more durable.

###### As always, do your own research and treat these as chart-based observations rather than hard recommendations

## Major indices: Can channel support hold?

### FTSE 100

The FTSE 100 is trying to find its feet at the floor of a rising trend channel around **10,650**. For now, it sits in a relatively tight range between that support and the 50-day moving average near **10,768**. An end-of-day close outside that range should give a clearer signal than an intraday move.

The relative strength index, or RSI, remains below its neutral 50 level, so momentum has not yet confirmed a recovery. Even so, the working assumption is that channel support holds, possibly after a brief move below it that clears nearby stop losses. The more cautious approach is to wait for the RSI to regain 50, or for the late-July resistance line near **10,800** to break. That would bring **11,000-plus** into focus.

Developments involving Russia and Ukraine or Iran could affect sentiment, particularly through the oil price. The chart, though, still needs to do the work.

### DAX

The DAX briefly swept below support dating from April, around **25,300**, before rebounding. That has the makings of a bear trap rather than a decisive breakdown, although confirmation is still needed.

While the index holds above 25,300, the first upside test is the rising 50-day moving average near **25,800**. An end-of-day close above it would put **26,200** on the list. The RSI has repeatedly struggled below 50 and appears to be settling into a lower neutral range in the 40s, so there is no need to call this a momentum breakout yet.

There is also a gap towards **25,100**. The recent dip looked like an attempt to fill it but fell short. If that remains the case, the failed move lower may support the argument for continuation to the upside.

### Dow

The Dow is also trading around a price-channel boundary. The support line is adjustable, but currently comes in near **51,200**. Staying above it would keep a rally back towards the 50-day moving average at roughly **52,800** in play.

## Bitcoin and Ethereum: Former resistance faces a fresh test

### Bitcoin

Bitcoin has pulled back towards the **$82,000 to $83,000** area, with a recent low around $83,000. That is the immediate test: can recent resistance now act as support?

If it can, the resistance line dating from February points towards **$95,000**, potentially by the end of October. If the move instead turns into a sharp reversal, the 50-day moving average near **$75,000** becomes the next notable level to assess.

### Ethereum

Ethereum is still holding above former resistance around **$2,580**. While that remains intact, the target is **$2,900**. A move there looked possible sooner, but progress has been slow, making the end of October a more plausible window than the end of September.

The rising 50-day moving average, near **$2,357**, is the wider support level underpinning that outlook.

## Gold and crude oil: Two different channel stories

### Gold

Gold has been frustrating, but it is once again testing a potentially important floor: the base of a rising channel in place since June, around **$4,250**. If that floor holds, recent resistance at **$4,400** is the first substantial upside objective. A stronger recovery could take it back towards the 200-day moving average near **$4,542** by the end of October.

For a more conservative signal, I would want an end-of-day close above the 50-day moving average at **$4,317**, together with an RSI recovery above 50. The RSI is currently around 46, so neither confirmation should be taken for granted.

### WTI crude oil

Crude remains a useful barometer of Middle East tensions, but its chart has weakened. After gapping down, WTI failed at the lower edge of that gap near **$97**. While it stays below $97, a return towards the 50-day moving average around **$88** looks a reasonable possibility.

## Smaller-Cap Shares to Watch

- ***Bango: **Bango is up sharply on the day, but a single strong session does not establish a lasting recovery. The shares still look as though they are bouncing along the bottom of their range. An end-of-day close above the **200-day moving average at 70p** would make the move more convincing. If follow-through arrives, the upper boundary of the channel dating from February points as high as **86p**, potentially by the end of October. Ideally, the shares now hold above broken resistance at **66p**, or at worst the 50-day moving average near **64p**.*

- ***Buccaneer: **Buccaneer is making a better attempt at recovery than I had expected. Former resistance around **0.011** is acting as support, with the top of the channel near **0.017** the next objective. A best-case move towards **0.023** by the end of October remains a more ambitious prospect. Both the 50-day and 200-day moving averages are rising, and the shares are finding support above the shorter average. That combination strengthens the technical case, provided the support holds.*

- ***Celebrus: **Celebrus is close to the floor of a rising trend channel around **91p**. The pivotal hurdle is **98p**, where the 50-day moving average sits. A quick recovery through it would improve the case for a move towards the channel top near **118p** by the end of October. Recent candles suggest some accumulation, but there is still work to do. A resistance line dating from around this time last year also stands in the way, which makes the 98p breakout particularly important.*

- ***80 Mile: **80 Mile has moved well beyond the initial recovery expectations. The broader pattern resembles a **bear-trap island reversal**: the shares gapped down in August, then gapped back up in September. A further gap has added to the strength of the move. The best-case chart target is now the resistance line dating from last October, as high as **2.4p** by the end of October. To keep that prospect intact, the shares ideally remain above the floor of the latest gap, around **1.25p**, on an end-of-day closing basis.*

- ***Ferrexpo: **Ferrexpo is bouncing from a rising 50-day moving average, while its RSI has rebounded from the neutral 50 area. That points towards the top of the rising channel around **36p to 37p**. The best-case objective is the 200-day moving average near **43p** by the end of October. There may be a sentiment angle here if the Russia-Ukraine situation improves, but caution is warranted. This share has produced deeply disappointing reversals before, so a constructive chart is not a guarantee of follow-through.*

- ***Forgent: **Forgent has finally broken above its 50-day moving average near **0.01**. While it remains above that level, the top of the nearby channel, around **0.014**, is the first target. A further break could open up the top of a broader triangle near **0.021**, although reaching that by the end of October would ask a great deal of the shares. An RSI rebound from 50 adds support to the recovery case. More importantly, the price is behaving better above its 50-day line than it has for some time.*

- ***GCM Resources: **GCM Resources has been one of the stronger shares this year, gaining well over 100%. Its current range between roughly **12p and 20p** looks like a mid-move consolidation rather than an obvious end to the advance. A break above 20p would bring a projection from the October resistance line, around **25p**, into focus by the end of next month. The latest move is a strong one, but clearing the top of the range is the decisive test.*

- ***KR1: **With cryptocurrencies looking healthier, KR1 has regained momentum. The earlier technical targets near **15p** and **26p** have both been met. The next hurdle is recent resistance at **27p**; above that, the last major resistance area near **40p** becomes the target, potentially by the end of October. The supporting details are encouraging. Both the 50-day and 200-day moving averages are rising, raising the prospect of a golden cross. The shares also gapped above a neckline near **14p** and have held that gap. None of those signals removes the need to break 27p, but together they make it a chart worth following.*

- ***MedPal: **MedPal appears to have held above a funding level around **5p** and has returned to the previous technical target near **6.5p**. A break above 6.5p would point towards the upper parallel of its rising channel from February, as high as **10p** by the end of October. So far, the shares have delivered on the technical levels. The company’s online pharmacy business provides the commercial backdrop, but the immediate chart question is whether 6.5p gives way.*

- ***Oxford Biomedica: **Oxford Biomedica has held up reasonably well since its last check, but the **50-day moving average at 508p** remains the obstacle. An end-of-day close above it would put the August gap, extending to around **577p**, in play as a potential gap-fill target. The RSI has rebounded from 50, which suggests more underlying strength than the hesitant price action might imply. Recent intraday support at **478p** is the level I would like to see preserved.*

- ***Ondo: **Ondo has had a rocky ride, mostly to the downside, but is bouncing from the floor of a rising channel near **5p**. Above that, the first target is the 50-day moving average around **6.96p**. A fuller recovery could reach **10p** by the end of October, although the company still has work to do to steady the situation.*

- ***RUA: **RUA’s notable feature is its repeated support above a rising 50-day moving average. Multiple successful tests of that line can precede a faster move higher, and the current channel points towards roughly **36p**, perhaps by the end of October or sooner. There may be scope beyond that channel top, but first the shares need to deliver on the nearer target. That is the common thread across these charts: promising setups are plentiful, while sustained breaks and closing confirmation remain the deciding factors.*
