Uk100 has been following a downside trend which we can see on 4-hour time frame chart, however, the price is in a crucial zone to decide the next movement.

As we can see, this last 4hour candle tried to break the downside trend but without success.

On the other hand, we have a relatively important level of support which the price has shown some difficulties in breaking down.

Therefore, we can expect a bearish movement once this support level is broken.

But if the price continues to reject the support level, it is also expected to see a slight correction of previous bearish movement.

European stocks broke their longest losing run in a year on Thursday, with major regional indexes rebounding after well-received corporate updates. Investors also cheered a rise in shares of car makers after the release of encouraging EU sales figures.

U.S. stocks closed higher Thursday, with earnings-inspired gains by Cisco and Wal-Mart helping to set the pace, while House passage of a Republican-sponsored tax cut plan helped cement the rally.

The global stock rebound continued Friday in Asia, with equities working to erase declines from earlier in the week. Japan again led the way. The Nikkei NIK, +0.24% jumped 1.5%, putting it into positive territory for the week. It hasn't had a down week since early September and if it does notch a 10th straight weekly advance today, that would be the longest winning streak since January 2013.
