On the four-hour chart, in the area of one of the key support lines at 9908.4, the Three Advancing White Soldiers and Hammer patterns appeared, while at 10062.7, Rising Three Methods and Bullish Marubozu appeared, the combination of which confirms the high potential for strengthening the "bullish" momentum and the interest of market participants in buying the asset. 

The benchmark FTSE 100 index of the London Stock Exchange is trading sideways near 9917.0, largely driven by a correction in bond yields, while the annual expiration of derivative contracts has significantly reduced market volatility following investors’ exit from risk assets. Market focus is now shifting back to macroeconomic data and developments in the debt market — the key drivers that could enable the FTSE 100 to renew its annual high at 9930.0 before the end of the calendar year.
