The UK equities have started to experience some bullish sentiment once again. This can be attributed to the increasing oil prices and a dovish BOE. The British benchmark, the FTSE 100 index, gained 17.5 points on Monday and was up 0.25% till press time.

BT Share Price Forecast
The following LON: BT.A chart shows the price consolidating above the 111p support level. The daily chart also shows the price bouncing off 111p support in August, but the bull failed to gain strength above 116p. As a result, the price is once again heading to retest the 111p support level.
The BT share price forecast is likely to flip very bearish if the the price breaks below the 111p support level. In this case, a 14.1% correction to the 95p support level will be on the cards. On the other hand, the bulls must reclaim 116p to avoid a bearish outlook.
