Boris Johnson has announced his intention to step down as UK Prime Minister. His departure followed the mass resignation of members of his government, including Treasury chief Rishi Sunak.

"It is clearly now the will of the parliamentary Conservative party that there should be a new leader, and therefore a new prime minister," Johnson said.

His decision left UK mired in political and economic uncertainty, especially since it is still under pressure from rising inflation, potential recession and the threat of widespread strikes.

The news also put the FTSE100 index in a downward trend, posing pressure on the yearly lows.

So far, an Elliot wave (ABC pattern) is developing, where wave A represents the selling pressure in early June. Wave C will be completed if the quote hits the monthly low.

For those who have already formed a short position on the FTSE100 index, continue working for a decline in accordance with the picture presented above.

Set stop loss at 7400 and take profit on the breakdown of 7000.
