1) Overview:
The FTSE 100 index exhibits a clear bullish tendency towards the end of the year, particularly in December. The index tends to rise steadily from November, reaching a peak around December 29 with an average gain of +5.6%. Before this bullish phase, the index experiences a notable bearish period in March, with a significant dip around March 15, averaging -2.2%. The index then recovers and consolidates through the spring and summer months before the year-end rally.
2) Buy-the-dip points:
A potential buying opportunity arises in March, specifically around March 15, when the index experiences a significant pullback of -2.2% on average. This dip is followed by a recovery period in April, making it an attractive entry point for investors anticipating a rebound. The negative trend bottoms out in early April, presenting another opportunity to buy before the index begins its upward trajectory towards the year-end rally.
3) Summary:
Based on the 10-year average seasonality, a strategic approach would involve considering entry points during the weakness in March, capitalizing on the dip around March 15. Investors should be aware of the historical tendency for a decline during this period and position themselves to benefit from the subsequent recovery. The strong performance in December, peaking around December 29, suggests a potential exit point for short-term gains or a hold for longer-term investors.
