tl;dr
Indexes - October is behind us and markets closed at the monthly lows. Clear sell signal going into November, since this is an amazing bear breakout. Markets are now in search for a intermediate bottom to form a proper channel. Most markets are also at bigger support and we can expect some more sideways to up movement before we get another impulse. That does not mean we can’t print another huge down day on Friday and have the pullback next week.
dax xetra
comment: Monthly chart shows a rejection at the top of multiple patterns and odds favor more downside over the next 1-2 months to have something of a pullback in this bubble. Weekly 20ema is around 18800, so only 200 points lower, which is reasonable to hit over the next days but we can’t expect that ema to be broken too easily. My rough target for November is 18000-18500. Daily chart shows huge bear gap bars and market needs some sideways to up movement soon.
current market cycle: trading range - bull trend is over.
key levels: 18900 - 19400
bull case: Bulls running for the exits and want to take profits before they are gone. 19000 is a decent target for market to take a breather and move sideways to up. Targets for bulls are gap close to 19270, which is also the daily 20ema. 19400 is far but could happend. I can’t imagine anything above that for now. 18900 has to hold, otherwise we see a flush down to ~18340, which is the 50% pullback.
Invalidation is below 19000.
bear case: Bears are in full control of the market after 3 huge selling days. Volume is increasing and xetra has not touched the 1h 20ema since Tuesday. Bears can view this leg down as w1, which already had 3 nested legs down (1 per last 3 days). Some pullback and sideways movement is expected. If bears can keep this below 19300, that would show strength and w3 would accelerate down in that case, since bulls had no better relief. Next target is 18900 and below that is 18800 (weekly 20ema), below that is nothing until 18400.
Invalidation is above 19300.
short term: Bearish but more cautious and only selling pullbacks again. 18900/19000 should be bigger support. Expecting two more legs down in November, rough target is 18000.
medium-long term: Will update this over the weekend.
current swing trade: None
trade of the day: ~19170 was rejected many times and bears had enough chances to get on the short train. 19000 was obvious support and one should have covered there.

Indexes - Many bull trend lines are gone for good. Bears closed at the lows and they desperately need follow through tomorrow. If nq won’t keep the markets afloat tomorrow and drops below 20400, we will likely see a big sell off with 20200 or lower. Dax looks done, clear break of the trend line, swing shorts are juicy here.
dax futures
comment: Daily chart now looks really bad. Next support is around 19000-19100. If bears fail to generate follow through tomorrow, we could retest the bull trend line even up to 19600 again but as of now I heavily favor the bears to go deep red into the weekend.
current market cycle: trading range more likely than start of a bear trend but we only know once we reach 19000 and see if it’s support or not
key levels: 19000 - 19800
bull case: Bulls gave up today after the market failed to print a better close yesterday. Since they have been trying to go above 19800 for so long now, I do think many will wait for a deeper pull back to at least 19000 before buying again. They could try to retest the bull trend line up to 19600 but as of now, it’s a stretch. Got not much for the bulls here.
Invalidation is below 19000.
bear case: Bears now have the best setup in a long time. Clear trend line break and market has tested the highs more than enough. Bears next target is 19000 where we could expect bigger support. 19000 is the previous October low and an exact measured move from the current range down. I will watch futures open in an hour and will likely get on some swing shorts.
Invalidation is above 19620.
short term: Bearish for 19000 if we stay below 19620. My bullish targets are met with this lower high and trend line break. Expecting a deeper pull back before a year end rally.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-10-19: 20000 is the goal for 2024, if bulls do not get it until year end, it will probably not happen for the next 5-10 years. This market is beyond overvalued and will drop 30-50% in the next 5 years. I have no doubts about that. That fact should not be relevant to your trading at all. Right now there is no selling pressure. I am confident that we will hit 17000 in 2025 but timing is more important than price, so let’s not waste brain capital on being bearish for now.
current swing trade: None
trade of the day: Globex marked the high of the day and market just sold off. 19300 was expected to be bigger support and market showed a decent reaction where one should have covered shorts.
DAX H4 | Potential bullish bounce off 61.8% Fibonacci supportDAX (GER30) is falling towards a pullback support and could potentially bounce off this level to climb higher.
Buy entry is at 19,412.53 which is a pullback support that aligns close to the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level.
Stop loss is at 19,300.00 which is a level that lies underneath an overlap support and the 50.0% Fibonacci retracement level.
Take profit is at 19,624.78 which is a swing-high resistance.

2024-10-29 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
Indexes - Mixed and still undecided. Not one broke out of their patterns today and I expected the breakout last Friday. Dax faked to the upside to sell off to the bull trend line again while nasdaq printed a strong bullish outside bar and is now near the top of the bull wedge. All patterns are still valid and the only constant is that bears are not able to generate follow through selling, so naturally market tries the opposite.
dax futures
comment : Daily chart says it all. Bulls not strong enough to close a day at the highs but bears even weaker and not able to print lower lows. 19600 is the middle of the range and mean reversion pays. I still lean more bullish than bearish for another run at the ath.
current market cycle: late bull trend
key levels: 19400 - 20000
bull case: Bulls broke above the minor bull channel but it was a trap and market sold off to near the bull trend line. As long as this line holds and market makes higher lows, I favor the bulls to retest the ath or go higher for 20000. The current trading range is fairly tight, so there is no deeper meaning to what the market is doing. No side has an advantage and we are waiting for the next impulse. Play the range until it clearly stops working.
Invalidation is below 19490.
bear case: Bears had a decent sell off today but market closed only 40 points lower. Bears need to start printing lower lows but most bears use the lows to cover and scalp out of positions.
Invalidation is above 19750.
short term: Bullish below 19600 for at least 19700. Stop is 19490
medium-long term - Update from 2024-10-19: 20000 is the goal for 2024, if bulls do not get it until year end, it will probably not happen for the next 5-10 years. This market is beyond overvalued and will drop 30-50% in the next 5 years. I have no doubts about that. That fact should not be relevant to your trading at all. Right now there is no selling pressure. I am confident that we will hit 17000 in 2025 but timing is more important than price, so let’s not waste brain capital on being bearish for now.
current swing trade: None
trade of the day: Buying before EU open was good if you were awake. The selling after the open surprised me big time and I absolutely did not expect bears to be able to get all the way down to below 19600. Good for you if you took it. Best trade was obviously selling 19700 and just holding. Was tough to take if you were long before, because the breakout look good enough.
#202443 - priceactiontds - weekly update - dax Good Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
dax xetra : 4h chart shows a triangle if you adjust the bull trend line from August. It will break out on Monday and I clearly favor the bears to break below and go for 19000. Above 19650 I am wrong and we could see the leg up to 20000. Bear confirmation is only below 19300. Until the breakout, you can either wait or play the tight range.
Quote from last week:
comment: Bullish was good but the rally is losing steam. We are in the final leg before we probably transition into a trading range before we go down. 20000 is the target for bulls and I expect them to get it one way or the other. Preferred path is a spike followed by huge profit taking. Nothing about the chart is good for bears and I would not even think about shorts, before we see some decent selling again. You never want to be early in a trade as a retail trader.
comment: Market closed 200 points lower than last week but was mostly range bound. Bull trend line and the daily 20ema are still intact and we did not get the expected breakout. Market has absolutely no more room to inside the pattern. End of September market was at 19470 so we have a month of going nowhere behind us. Was it bulls scaling into longs for 20000 or bears scaling into shorts because the upside potential is probably very limited? Very likely both. Going into next week I can’t be anything but neutral until we see one side clearly giving up. The one thing that's clear on the weekly chart for the past 12 weeks is that bears only managed to print 1 bear in between bull bars. So 3 out of 13. That is really something and we should not expect it to end until it very clearly does. Don’t try to be the first.
current market cycle: Late bull trend. Has likely ended already and we are now in a trading range.
key levels: 19000 - 20000
bull case: We learned nothing last week, other that market is in balance at 19500. Bulls need to stay above 19320 to keep the trend alive and their target is 20000. How likely is follow through buying above 20000 and another bull break above for much higher prices? I can’t think of anything less likely tbh. That obviously does not mean it can not happen. I was wrong about the top a couple of times in the past 3 years.
Invalidation is below 19300.
bear case: If you look at this chart and go “I really want to short this right now”, dm me and let’s do a remote counselling session. You are so out of touch with the market, that there has to be deeper stuff going on inside you, causing that. Nothing about this is bearish and until we see actual selling pressure, we should not waste brain capacity on bearish thoughts. 19300 is the clear target for a daily close below. Once bears have that, we will likely test down to 19000 and there we have a big decision. Market can either find new buyers there in hopes of 20000 or most bulls are done for the year and let it go. Below 19000, nothing can save this until 18000. That is the lowest I can see this go this year and even that price is very unlikely.
Invalidation is above 19400.
outlook last week:
short term: Bullish for 20000. Can see a pullback first or not. We are in the middle of the channel, which is always a bad spot. Trade momentum or long a decent pullback.
→ Last Sunday we traded 19779 and now we are at 19463. Wrong outlook. Thesis still stands. If we keep above 19300, market wants 20000.
short term: Neutral. Clear levels to break for both sides.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-10-19: 20000 is the goal for 2024, if bulls do not get it until year end, it will probably not happen for the next 5-10 years. This market is beyond overvalued and will drop 30-50% in the next 5 years. I have no doubts about that. That fact should not be relevant to your trading at all. Right now there is no selling pressure. I am confident that we will hit 17000 in 2025 but timing is more important than price, so let’s not waste brain capital on being bearish for now.
current swing trade: None
chart update: Adjusted the potential two legged correction
2024-10-24 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
Indexes - Bulls bought the lows as was expected but they could not close the day with a strong bull bar. Instead we printed weak bull bars or inside bars. Are we any smarter today? Not much. Both sides are to weak to show a clear direction and so we mostly move sideways. Bears do not have any arguments after not getting any follow through. Bulls at least closed it above the daily 20ema, so we are still inside the bullish patterns and upwards is more likely than down.
dax futures
comment: We have formed nested triangles and I have no opinion on who might win the breakout. Today my bias was heavily bullish and that paid big time in the morning but then the weak bulls surprised me. I do expect the breakout to happen tomorrow.
current market cycle: late bull trend
key levels: 19400 - 20000
bull case: Bulls broke above yesterday’s trading range which was an obvious magnet but were not strong enough to get above Tuesday’s highs and closed the day slightly above the open price. The formed triangle will likely play out in tomorrow’s EU session and during the US session we should see a bigger breakout. Bulls still have the valid 20000 target.
Invalidation is below 19300.
bear case: Bears are showing signs of life and the pattern the market has printed over the past 2 months, shows us that we are late in this bull trend and the end is probably near. I have little doubt that if we get to 20000, the high should be around that price and if you can hold shorts for longer and scale in higher, it will be an amazing short opportunity. Until bears print a big bear bar below the bull trend line and daily 20ema, this market is still inside the bull trend.
Invalidation is above 19700.
short term: Neutral. 19413 should hold as the low and I slightly favor the bulls to break above the triangle but I will wait for strong confirmation or buy longs on decent pullbacks.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-10-19 : 20000 is the goal for 2024, if bulls do not get it until year end, it will probably not happen for the next 5-10 years. This market is beyond overvalued and will drop 30-50% in the next 5 years. I have no doubts about that. That fact should not be relevant to your trading at all. Right now there is no selling pressure. I am confident that we will hit 17000 in 2025 but timing is more important than price, so let’s not waste brain capital on being bearish for now.
current swing trade: None
trade of the day : Yesterday I wrote this is a strong buy and so it was. Buying the Globex low while bar 24 formed was an amazing trade.
2024-10-23 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
Indexes - Big bear day on most indexes but they did not accomplish enough to flip the markets to always-in-short. I do think the odds of a bullish reversal into the weekend are much greater than continued selling. Many markets are at perfect support and buying this is a no-brainer for many bulls. We still have bullish targets above us (e.g. sp500 → 6000 and dax to 20000).
dax futures
comment: Bulls have waited for this pullback a long time and I highly doubt they will let it go to waste. Very high chance of this being a bear trap and we melt from here. Wait for confirmation before you trade this. We are right at the daily 20ema and the big bull trend line from August. Buying with a stop 19416 is probably risky but could work. Waiting for bears to try 19400 again might be wiser but it depends on tomorrows price action. Last thing I want to do here is enter new shorts. As mentioned in my weekly update and over the last weeks, 20000 is the target and I doubt the market can move significantly lower without touching it. Buckel up for tomorrow and Friday, we will see some big moves.
current market cycle: bull trend
key levels: 19400 - 20000
bull case: Bulls got the textbook pullback to huge support and they want to go straight up to 20000 from here. There is nothing more fancy to say about this. Look at the chart and wait for bulls to come around tomorrow, use a decent stop and let your trade run when it happens. Where would most bulls give up? Tough. It’s probably not 19399. Many will scale in but I do think this should not go below 19300 or the bull case is likely over.
Invalidation is below 19300.
bear case: Bears had a strong day but did not close below the daily ema and the big bull trend line. Zero doubt that bears will give up quickly once bulls come around because they know it’s big support. They made some decent points the past 3 days and most won’t overstay their welcome. If they manage to get below 19300, they would flip the market to always in short and their next targets would be 19100. Very unlikely that will happen but it’s possible, so I think it’s useful to mention.
Invalidation is above 19480.
short term: If we stay above 19400, max bullish for 20000.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-10-19 : 20000 is the goal for 2024, if bulls do not get it until year end, it will probably not happen for the next 5-10 years. This market is beyond overvalued and will drop 30-50% in the next 5 years. I have no doubts about that. That fact should not be relevant to your trading at all. Right now there is no selling pressure. I am confident that we will hit 17000 in 2025 but timing is more important than price, so let’s not waste brain capital on being bearish for now.

trade of the day: Selling 19570 has worked on Tuesday and so today. Obvious resistance.

tl;dr
Indexes - Sideways movement with some lower lows but closes were mostly weak. Neutral going into tomorrow, since both sides can get the breakout. Market is still controlled by bulls until we close below the daily 20ema and those are far away.
dax futures
comment: Look at the daily or 4h chart, cause the lower time frames are misleading. This is not as bearish as it looks on the 15m chart. It’s still just a minor pullback in this bull trend and we still have not touched the daily ema. The bull trend line and daily ema are coming closer and we will probably chop more until we hit them. Then we see where the market wants to go next. I still expect 20000 but not much more. I am neutral until I have seen 20k or daily close below 19300.
current market cycle: bull trend
key levels: 19500 - 20000
bull case: Bulls did not find enough buyers above 19780 but they bought 19600, which was expected and important. We did not learn much and nothing changed to what I wrote in my weekly outlook.
Invalidation is below 19500.
bear case : Bears had a minor pullback but stayed inside the trading range under the ath. Nothing to get excited about. Will they try to get follow through tomorrow and fight for this to hit 19500? Less likely than bulls buying the dip again.
Invalidation is above 19820.
short term: Neutral inside given range. Still favoring the bulls for 20k but we could hit 19400 first.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-10-19: 20000 is the goal for 2024, if bulls do not get it until year end, it will probably not happen for the next 5-10 years.

current swing trade: None
trade of the day: Selling 19770 since market found no buyers above that price and produced many tails. The EU open was just weakness and we did not stop until we hit 19600.
#202442 - priceactiontds - weekly update - dax xetraGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
dax: We are in W5 and no idea how high it will go. 20000 is the obvious choice and only 300 points higher on xetra. Until we hit that level, it’s hard to get bearish. The bull channel is also perfectly leading up to that price and who tf am I to deny technical patterns eh. Only longs for me are on strong momentum and they will be scalps. I am awaiting the weakness to short this into oblivion over the next 2 years.
Quote from last week:
comment: Bullish outlook was good. Bulls will likely retest ath on Monday/Tuesday and have good chances of making new ones. My targets above are 19500 and 19600 with 20000 being possible if we get blow-off top. Don’t be a bear until bears can close below 18900.
comment : Bullish was good but the rally is losing steam. We are in the final leg before we probably transition into a trading range before we go down. 20000 is the target for bulls and I expect them to get it one way or the other.

You never want to be early in a trade as a retail trader.
current market cycle: bull trend
key levels: 19000 - 20000
bull case:
Bulls have all arguments on their side again. My bullish wave thesis is still fitting perfectly and W5 could lead to 20000. Any close below 19200 would seriously hurt the bull case.
I can’t write anything else but the stuff from last week. Nothing changed. We are moving higher, bears have no arguments, 20k is the target. Don’t make this more complicated as it is.
Invalidation is below 19300.
bear case: If you don’t want to long this, you simply have to wait. Bears are doing nothing and until we see much greater selling pressure, I will not even waste time on thinking bearish. Will this overvalued trash index lose 30-50% in the next 5 years? I have zero doubts about that. Is this the time to start scaling into shorts? Absolutely fucking not.
Invalidation is above 19400.
outlook last week:
short term: Bullish for 19500 and higher.
→ Last Sunday we traded 19373 and now we are at 19779. Everyone is a genius in a bull trend. Never forget that when your uber driver tells you about Nvidia or Dogecoin.
short term: Bullish for 20000. Can see a pullback first or not. We are in the middle of the channel, which is always a bad spot. Trade momentum or long a decent pullback.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-10-19: 20000 is the goal for 2024, if bulls do not get it until year end, it will probably not happen for the next 5-10 years. This market is beyond overvalued and will drop 30-50% in the next 5 years. I have no doubts about that. That fact should not be relevant to your trading at all. Right now there is no selling pressure. I am confident that we will hit 17000 in 2025 but timing is more important than price, so let’s not waste brain capital on being bearish for now.

tl;dr
Indexes - Bullish spikes on all of them but markets closed mixed. All closed with a big tail above and we are where we closed yesterday. Near but still above the daily 20ema, near bull trend lines but also with bulls not strong enough to get a big breakout above with follow through. Most of the current patterns are in their last stages and the breakout will happen over the next days. I am neutral for now and scalp in both directions.
dax futures
comment: Big spike to new ath but also big rejection. Market is contracting inside the clear bull wedge. I doubt we get the breakout tomorrow but it could happen but next week for sure. Where will this break out to? Right now I favor another leg down to 19500ish more than a breakout above. On the daily chart it’s bullish and nothing else. I still do have my 20000 target.
current market cycle: bull trend
key levels: 19500 - 20000
bull case: Bulls touched 19800 and got rejected, no surprise there. Only question is how fast do will they retest that price. It’s possible that we need to sell some more to find new buyers but I do think bulls have a better chance of the blow off top if they stay above 19600. Since we are oscillating around 19700, I can’t be anything but neutral for now.
Invalidation is below 19500.
bear case: Bears need a daily close below 19500 to break outside the bull wedge inside the bigger bull channel on the daily chart. Volume is increasing which is better for the bears than the bulls but they can’t print one decent daily bear bar and until that changes, you simply can not be a bear here.
Invalidation is above 19820.
short term: Neutral. Bullish above 19820 and bearish below 19500.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-10-06: 3 Months left in 2024 and I do think the market is in a trading range where the upper area is around 19500 and the lower area is probably 17000 or 16000 if something bigger comes up. Since we are at the very top, I expect the market to go some sideways before trying to go down again. Not so sure about 19491 being the high, since liquidity could see a bigger increase and upside could be higher. We will likely have another 10%+ correction this year and a possible year end rally.
Update 2024-10-13: Possibility of a blow-off top to 20000 is there. If we get there, it will be the short opportunity of the decade.
current swing trade: None
trade of the day: S elling 19800 or buying the opening breakout above 19640, which was good for 160 points.

dax futures
comment: A daily bear bar closing on it’s low. What a time to be alive. Kinda in the middle of the channel now, which is a bad bad place to trade. Both sides have valid arguments. I would rather sit on hands and only scalp on momentum than initiate trades around 19600.
current market cycle: bull trend
key levels: 19500 - 20000
bull case: Bulls can be happy a decent dip came which they can now buy. Will they buy 19600 or will they wait? I am not sure but would you really want to buy 19600 now in hopes of a climactic continuation above 19800? Hard to make that a good trade. I do think the rally was fueled by momentum, that is gone now.
Invalidation is below 19500.
bear case: Bears finally got a decent day and they want/need follow through tomorrow. Obvious targets to hit next are 19350ish (breakout price) and the potentially much bigger support at the daily 20ema and the bull trend line around 19300-19350. If we get there, I highly doubt bears will push their luck and we see another strong move up. On the 1h tf, the first target for tomorrow is the open of the week 19536 and that is also where a smaller bull trend line is. Can be bigger support and bears could also give up there. Hard to make a bigger bear case for now but it’s worse for the bulls to blindly buy this just because we dipped some.
Invalidation is above 19800.
short term: Bullish but a bit more neutral right now, until we know where the next support is and bulls come around again
medium-long term - Update from 2024-10-06: 3 Months left in 2024 and I do think the market is in a trading range where the upper area is around 19500 and the lower area is probably 17000 or 16000 if something bigger comes up.

Not so sure about 19491 being the high, since liquidity could see a bigger increase and upside could be higher. We will likely have another 10%+ correction this year and a possible year end rally.
Update 2024-10-13: Possibility of a blow-off top to 20000 is there. If we get there, it will be the short opportunity of the decade.
current swing trade: None
trade of the day: Shorting 19750 was not the hard part about the short trade but holding through bar 38 - 52 was. Had to get short bar 32 or latest 33. Can you hold afterwards? Tough. Open price was an obvious magnet when we hit 19650, so do you want to hold through a 60 point up move when you are short? I did not. Could have gone short below bar 57 but then you see the spike and hope for more and when you hold, market reverses bad again and you are underwater or break even at best. Then you do what? The 15m 20ema was decent to short then but all in all tough because market wanted lower but also produced many big tails below the bars that touched 19600.
2024-10-14 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
Indexes - In my weekly post yesterday I wrote “max bullish” a couple of times and I hope you did not short this today. Bulls are in absolute control and they have no reason to stop buying every small dip. You can not be a bear on the hope that this madness will stop eventually. It can go much further than you can imagine. Strong day, strong close, can only expect higher prices until bears print consecutive big bear bars on higher time frames. My best guess is still a blow-off top this week, which can mark the top before we see a bigger correction. Today felt like we are already in it.
dax futures
comment: Bulls got follow through and confirmed Friday’s bullishness. There is nothing bearish about this so don’t waste time looking for bear arguments. You never want to be the first in trading unless you are a big institution who needs to scale into positions because you literally move the market otherwise. 19700 is almost a given but buying high is not the way to go here. Wait for decent pullbacks. Today the 30m 20ema was perfect to buy on 3 occasions.
current market cycle: bull trend
key levels: 19500 - 20000
bull case: Bulls are close enough to 20000 and bears absent to enough to expect that we get there. We have formed a proper channel where the lower trend line is around 19600. If that holds, it’s max bullish again but we could also reach the bigger trend line around 19500 before going higher again. Since bulls literally bought every dip since Wednesday, expect for them to continue to do so.
Invalidation is below 18500.
bear case: Best they can hope for is sideways movement and maybe get down to the 1h 20ema. Anything below 19500 would surprise me. Their target is to test the 1h 20ema and the lower bull channel line around 19600ish. If they somehow break that, their next target would be the price area around 19550.
Invalidation is above 18720.
short term: Max bullish until bears come around. Look for longs.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-10-06: 3 Months left in 2024 and I do think the market is in a trading range where the upper area is around 19500 and the lower area is probably 17000 or 16000 if something bigger comes up.

Update 2024-10-13: Possibility of a blow-off top to 20000 is there. If we get there, it will be the short opportunity of the decade.
current swing trade: None
trade of the day: Close of last week held during Globex, EU opened could not even get down there, that was the last big hint bulls mean business and you should get long. Only real tricky thing today was to either hold through bar 32 - 34 or get long again on bar 49 or 54.

tl;dr
dax: Max bullish for 19500/19600. Bulls have all the arguments if they stay above 19200. 19000-19200 is neutral and only a daily close below 19000 could start a bear case. My base assumption is that we are in W5 of this bull trend which could lead up to 20000.
dax xetra
Quote from last week:
comment: Bearish scenario played out during the week and bears managed to reach the lower bull trend line which bulls happily bought on Friday. Right now the odds heavily favor the bulls. Market has two very good reasons why the area around 18950 is support and since we are in a bull trend and got a decent signal bar on Friday, I want to be long above 19200 for 19400 or higher.
comment : Bullish outlook was good. Bulls will likely retest ath on Monday/Tuesday and have good chances of making new ones. My targets above are 19500 and 19600 with 20000 being possible if we get blow-off top. Don’t be a bear until bears can close below 18900.
current market cycle: bull trend
key levels: 19000 - 20000
bull case: Bulls have all arguments on their side again. My bullish wave thesis is still fitting perfectly and W5 could lead to 20000. Any close below 19200 would seriously hurt the bull case.
Invalidation is below 1920.
bear case: Bears need a daily close below 19200 to start making more bulls doubt this breakout above the minor trading range which was my W4. As of now bears do not have any reasonable arguments to stop this.
Invalidation is above 19400.
outlook last week:
short term: Neutral between 19000-19200, very bullish above 19200 and slightly bearish but more cautious below 19000.
→ Last Sunday we traded 19120 and now we are at 19373. Bullish outlook above 19200 was perfect and I hope you made some.
short term: Bullish for 19500 and higher.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-10-06: 3 Months left in 2024 and I do think the market is in a trading range where the upper area is around 19500 and the lower area is probably 17000 or 16000 if something bigger comes up. Since we are at the very top, I expect the market to go some sideways before trying to go down again. Not so sure about 19491 being the high, since liquidity could see a bigger increase and upside could be higher. We will likely have another 10%+ correction this year and a possible year end rally.
Update 2024-10-13: Possibility of a blow-off top to 20000 is there. If we get there, it will be the short opportunity of the decade.
current swing trade: None
chart update: Removed the ABC wave up and replaced it with a 5-wave series.
2024-10-10 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
dax - Perfect two legged (ABC) correction on the 1h tf and now bulls are free to continue the short squeeze. Buckle up. Bears are only allowed to speak below 19250. If bears manage that, next target would be 19100 and a continuation of the trading range since last Tuesday. My swing long is going.
comment : My line in the sand for the bulls was 19250 and the low was 19276. Bulls now want the third big leg up tomorrow and they have all the reason to assume it will happen. We have a perfect bull trend line, so watch what the market is doing around it and don’t short until it’s broken. I’m full bull here.
current market cycle: bull trend
key levels: 19000 - 20000
bull case: Bulls want the third leg to 19600+. That’s it. As long as the bull trend line holds, it’s bullish. You can either long now or wait on a breakout above 19450 with follow through. Either is fine. Stop is obvious (if not, ask me).
Invalidation is below 19276.
bear case: Bears fumbled it today. Selling was decent but they could not get below the breakout price 19270 and if bulls start the better buying tomorrow, I don’t think we will see much fighting. If bears somehow manage to print below 19250, consider me surprised and that I am wrong.
Invalidation is above 19450.
short term: Max bullish. Stop is still 19250.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-09-01 : 4 Months left in 2024 and I do think the market is in a trading range where the upper area is around 19000 and the lower area is probably 17000 or 16000 if something bigger comes up. Since we are at the very top, I expect the market to go some sideways before trying to go down again. Next 2000 Points will be made to the downside but it’s too early to short this.
current swing trade : Can do long now, 19358 or wait on breakout. Stop is the same.
trade of the day: Selling 19400 was decent I guess but on these days you find the middle of the range and scalp.
DAX: Channel Up intact. Bullish.DAX is bullish on its 1D technical outlook (RSI = 61.639, MACD = 2020.300, ADX = 35.161) but only neutral on 4H, indicating the significant upside potential it has. Right now the price found support on the 4H MA50 and is rebounding. This suggests the the previous correction is over, the bearish wave of the two month Channel Up bottomed near the 4H MA200 and the 0.5 Fib. We turn buyers again on DAX, aiming for the -0.382 Fib (TP = 19,900).

2024-10-08 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
dax - Do or die for the bears at exactly at the bear trend line and last weeks close and also Monday’s pullback high around 19260. Above 19290, bulls are favored for a breakout and target 19330 or higher. If we turn here, I expect 19100 or lower.
dax futures
comment: Watch the 30m 20ema tomorrow and see if bulls can hold above it. The 19250-19280 area should be resistance and I favor the bears, once we drop below 19200 again. Bulls want the breakout above 19280 and then a strong move for a retest of 19491 ath. We are near are exactly at two very important trend lines. One is the big bull trend line from early August (please see my weekly post and chart) and the other is the bear trend line from the ath. I expect a huge day tomorrow, once we know who wins the battle. Right now I think odds are 50/50.
current market cycle: bull trend (big trend line is currently at 18950 on xetra) - close below 19000 ends that bull trend
key levels: 19000 - 20000
bull case: Bulls need to break above the bear trend line to stay above the bull trend line and daily 20ema. Market traded the 4th consecutive day around the daily ema and tomorrow we will likely have a huge breakout. If bulls win, we will probably retest the ath.
Invalidation is below 19000.
bear case : Bears are in do or die mode. Either reverse hard and stay below the bear trend line, or give up and see 19400+ again. Both sides showed strength this week and there is no clear direction for tomorrow. Bear case gets better once we trade below 19200 again.
Invalidation is above 19280.
short term: Neutral between 19200 - 19280. Bearish below, bullish above. Best to wait for the breakout tomorrow or Friday but I favor tomorrow.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-09-01: 4 Months left in 2024 and I do think the market is in a trading range where the upper area is around 19000 and the lower area is probably 17000 or 16000 if something bigger comes up. Since we are at the very top, I expect the market to go some sideways before trying to go down again. Next 2000 Points will be made to the downside but it’s too early to short this.
current swing trade: Will swing in the direction of tomorrows breakout
trade of the day: Strong selling through Globex but market made a tripple bottom near 19050 and whenever the market tries to do something 2-3 times and fails, it will likely try the opposite. Long above 19130 - bar 10 was a very good trade.
DAX Bullish ContinuationDAX price seems to exhibit signs of overall bullish momentum. A potential new ALL TIME HIGH may form as the price action may form a credible Higher Low on key Fibonacci levels.
If price action breaks the ALL TIME HIGH of 19500, chances of TP2 may increase. Till then, opportunity may be seized by the Bulls.
Trade Plan :
Entry @ 19025
Stop Loss @ 18570
TP1 @ 19480
TP2 @ 19935
No. of Trades: 2
Move SL to Break Even if TP1 hits.
DAX Analysis: Consolidation Signals Pending BreakoutDAX Technical Analysis:
The price is anticipated to consolidate between 19100 and 18975 until a breakout occurs. A close below 18975 on the 4-hour chart would signal a bearish trend, with potential targets at 18890 and 18780.
Conversely, a 4-hour close above 19110 would support a bullish trend, likely driving the price toward 19250.
Key Levels:
Pivot Point: 19020
Resistance Levels: 19110, 19250, 19330
Support Levels: 18970, 18780, 18650
Trend:
- Consolidation 19100 and 18970
- Bearish below 18970
- Bullish above 19110
previous idea:
