DAX Strong probability for a technical pull-back here.DAX (DE40) hit last week our 20000 Target, which we established 2 months ago (October 04, see chart below):
That Target was near the top (Higher Highs trend-line) of the 1-year Channel Up that started on the week of the October 03 2022 bottom. As you can see, this pattern has topped both previous Bullish Waves on the 1.618 Fibonacci extension level and after a pull-back consolidation phase (red Arc), it started the Bearish Legs that bottomed and made Higher Lows on Support 1, which was the previous Resistance level.
Having now already hit its 1.618 Fib ext, we expect DAX to pull-back a little and turn sideways as per the pattern, which we will short, targeting 19000 (Support 1). If however we see a 1W MA200 (blue trend-line) hit and immediate rebound and weekly closing above it, we will book our sell profit earlier.
Notice also the high symmetry on those Legs, between their 1W CCI fractals.

GER 40 Trade Log GER40 4H Long Setup
Trade Idea:
- Long in the 4H FVG post-CPI wick grab, following a potential exhaustion of the ongoing short setup.
Confluence:
- FVG Zone: Price retraces into the 4H Fair Value Gap, providing a strong discounted entry point.
- Liquidity Grab: CPI wick likely cleared liquidity below, setting the stage for a bullish reversal.
- Dynamic Support: 4H Kijun aligns with FVG, reinforcing the zone as a high-probability support.
Risk-Reward:
- Tight stop-loss below the 4H FVG.
- Targeting 1:2+ RRR with initial profit-taking at 20,400 and extended targets toward 20,500 .
Quick Take:
If CPI triggers downside liquidity sweep, this setup offers a clean bullish reversal opportunity. Watch for confirmation before entry!
GER 40 Trade LogGER40 1H Short Setup
Trade Logic:
- Setup: Short position initiated within the 1-hour Fair Value Gap (FVG) after a confirmed bearish structure and pre-market rejection.
- Confluence Factors:
- Fair Value Gap (FVG): Price retraces into a bearish FVG for a high-probability short entry.
- Break of Structure (BOS): Confirmed bearish break supports downside continuation.

- 1:2.35 RRR as per chart, targeting liquidity zones below.
- Targets:

Macro Context:
- Market Sentiment: GER40 shows bearish signals with a weakening broader market sentiment.
- Volume Profile: Declining buy-side volume within the FVG zone signals limited bullish interest.
- Pre-Market Behavior: Rejection from the FVG aligns with pre-market bearish tendencies, further supporting the setup.
Execution Plan:
- Short entry within the FVG zone, managing risk with a stop-loss above the FVG.
- Strict adherence to the 1:2.35 RRR with partial profit-taking at TP1 and remaining at TP2.
- Monitor market conditions and invalidate if price reclaims the FVG or breaks the Kijun level.
Extra Note: Keep an eye on macroeconomic triggers that could cause sudden volatility, particularly during the European session. Let me know if further adjustments are needed!

tl;dr
dax futures - Weekly outlook on point. 20506 was the max and we have seen the start of profit taking today. I expect 20200 to be hit tomorrow or Wednesday but it will be a choppy way to get there. We have an ugly head & shoulders on the 30m/1h tf and the measured move goes to around 20200. Close is always close enough. It’s possible that we retest 20500 before another leg down, so don’t short the lows, unless there is a clear and strong break below.
dax futures
comment: Clear trading range 20300 - 20500 until we strongly break above or below. Bears closed at the lows, which is good for them and fits with my weekly outlook.
current market cycle: bull trend but very late and will end soon
key levels: 20000 - 20500
bull case: As long as bulls keep it above 20300, they are good. They want to keep the market in a tight trading range near the ath. That’s about it. Got no higher targets for you. 20500 is beyond insane but we can go higher if we see another Santa rally after the pullback.
Invalidation is below 20280ish.
bear case: Bears want to print lower highs and trap late bulls. If they strongly break below 20300 tomorrow, we could see some acceleration to bigger support. The poor structure between 19700 and 20300 is one giant spike that wants to be filled. For now I take it level by level. 20300 and then see if we can do 20200 and 20000 after.
Invalidation is above 20520.
short term: No bigger interest in shorting now lows but rather pullbacks, as long as we make lower highs. 20200 is my first target and if we go above 20400 again, I would only short 20500 again or on really strong momentum.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-12-02: 20000 hit, hope you listened. 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 current trading at all. Now it’s about being patient and waiting for the profit taking to start.
current swing trade: None
trade of the day: 20478 was previous resistance and the open was 20480. Shorting it was the trade of the day.
#202449 - priceactiontds - weekly update - dax Good Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
dax xetra: 20425 is the ath. It’s a parabolic blow-off top at the end of the bull trend. We will likely see a deeper pullback next week. My first targets below are 20000 and then the breakout retest around 19700. We can obviously print another higher high but the upside will probably be very limited next week. I have drawn 3 upper bull trend lines that fit the current structure and no matter how sloppy I draw them, I can’t see this going much further than 20500. Always keep in mind that this is not an exact science, especially when you try to determine tops. We could easily go 21000. At this point it’s just very unlikely compared to a pullback, given the structure and Opex next week.
Quote from last week:
comment: Late bull breakout during the week like the week before that. Another clear buying signal going into next week. There is not much to add from my tl;dr. Both of my upper bull trend lines run through 20k and I have multiple measured move targets there. More than enough reasons to be bullish and look for longs. Bears can do almost nothing to change my mind, unless we see on giant bear bar closing below 19100 on Monday.
comment: 20500-20600 is my max on this. You will not get any bullish outlooks from me anymore. I could be wrong on this for weeks and would not care. The chart shows my preferred path and the only I will be willing to trade. Market will most likely test the daily 20ema this year again. Currently at exactly the breakout point around 19660. There we will see a decisions if bulls can do another retest of the highs into year end or if profit taking and sideways movement will close this year.
current market cycle: Bull trend - parabolic rally which is the very end.
key levels: 19000 - 20600
bull case: Bulls can keep this going as long as not many start to take profits and bears not doing anything. If the momentum stays on, there is no reason why this could not go up to 20600 or higher. Is this likely after 800 points last week? The first pullback after such a leg up is probably getting bought and a good buying opportunity for many bulls. Until we begin to see a bigger pullback, bulls have all the arguments on their side, no matter how overbought it is.
Invalidation is below 19100.
bear case: Just the fact that this is overbought beyond anything ever before, does not help any trader. My preferred path forward is a deeper pullback to at least 19700 but as of now, we have not seen a single daily bear bar for 7 trading days. Anything in this section is dependent on bears actually building bigger selling pressure and breaking below prior lows. We are trading at the top of multiple multi-year or monthly patterns and that should be enough to at least stall the market for now. Best case for the bears would be a quick move down to 20000 on Monday, to open up the possibility of a decent two-legged move down to 19700 or more. At 20k, I expect buyers to step in hard and produce another bounce first.
Invalidation is above 20600.
outlook last week:
short term: Max bullish for 20k. Can we chop some before we get there? Sure but I don’t think bears can get this below 19300 again before we hit 20k.
→ Last Sunday we traded 19626 and now we are at 20384. 700+ points on the week.
short term: No more bullish outlooks. I want to see big juicy red bars and people posting on x about “buying opportunity of a lifetime” while they double down all the way back to 19000. Neutral until bears come around. No interest in buying anything above 20100 as of now. 20k might be a decent long scalp for a quick bounce.
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 for now. The current push is most likely the last of it. Bears will come back soon.
current swing trade: None
chart update: Converged all major upper trend lines around 20400-20600 and added a potential two-legged correction for next week.
GER 40 Trade Log GER40 1H Long Setup: Entering at 0.5 FVG Level
I'm eyeing a long position on the GER40 (DAX) based on the 1-hour timeframe. Here's the breakdown of my trade setup:
🔹 Entry Point:
- Entering at the 0.5 level of the hourly Fair Value Gap (FVG).
🔹 Risk Management:
- Risk: 1% of the trading account.
- Risk-Reward Ratio (RRR): 1:2.
- Stop Loss (SL): Placed below the 1H Kijun-sen line to account for potential volatility.
🔹 Trade Idea:
- Expecting a retracement to the FVG before resuming the upward trend.
- Aware that price action might slice through our SL, but willing to see how it unfolds.
📊 Technical Analysis:
- Ichimoku Cloud: The price is above the cloud, indicating a bullish trend. Placing the SL below the 1H Kijun-sen provides a safety net against sudden dips.
- FVG Levels: Fair Value Gaps often act as magnets for price retracements. The 0.5 level is a strategic entry point to capitalize on the potential bounce.
🌐 Macro Factors Supporting the Trade:
- Economic Resilience: Recent data shows that the German economy is demonstrating resilience amid global uncertainties, boosting investor confidence.
- ECB Monetary Policy: The European Central Bank's accommodative stance continues to support liquidity in the markets, which is positive for equities.
- Political Developments: Speculation around leadership changes, such as discussions about President Macron's position, might lead to increased investor optimism in European markets.
- Global Market Sentiment: A general shift towards risk-on sentiment globally can propel the GER40 higher.
📝 Note:
Trading always carries risk. While the setup aligns with both technical and macroeconomic factors, unforeseen events can impact the outcome. Stay vigilant and adjust your strategy as needed.
Let's monitor this trade and see how it plays out. Feel free to share your thoughts or any insights you might have!
GER 40 Trade LogGER40 Short Position (Discretionary)
Rationale :
- Overextension: The GER40 index appears significantly overextended without substantial fundamental support.
- Rising German Bond Yields: An increase in German government bond yields suggests a shift towards higher borrowing costs, potentially impacting equity valuations.
- MACD Divergence: A notable divergence between the MACD indicator and price action indicates a weakening bullish momentum, often preceding a trend reversal.
- CVD Divergence: Divergence in the Cumulative Volume Delta points to a disparity between buying and selling pressures, signaling a potential downturn.
Trade Details :
- Position: Short GER40 via market order
- Risk Management:
- Risk per Trade: 1% of trading capital
- Risk-Reward Ratio (RRR): 1:2
Note: This trade is discretionary and anticipates a sharp correction at market open. Despite the lack of a formal signal, the confluence of technical indicators and macroeconomic factors supports this decision.
2024-12-03 - priceactiontds - daily update - dax futuresGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
dax futures - Neutral again. More chop expected. Can bulls do another leg up? Yes. Is it likely? I think it’s 50/50 right now. Bears obviously not doing enough and bulls are still buying above 20000, which is very bullish. Bulls have 2 bull trend lines as support around 20000 and 19950. It’s still BTFD until we make lower lows again below 19900.
comment: After many months of writing about the most outrageous target for the dax, we finally did it. What a time to be alive. Don’t look to be the first bear. Can go higher obviously but I won’t chase anything here. My bullish targets are met, I don’t care about any more upside other than small scalps. Will wait for bigger bears to come around and will watch closely when bulls begin to take bigger profits.
current market cycle : bull trend but very late and will end soon
key levels: 19500 - 20000
bull case: Can do 20200 but we could have also seen the highs. It’s a gamble to bet on higher prices. Long the pullbacks until we make lower lows again on the 1h or 2h tf.
Invalidation is below 19700.
bear case: Nothing changed. Got nothing for bears until they can get a daily close below 19700 again. We most likely spend more time 19800 - 20100 before another impulse.
Invalidation is above 20100.
short term: Neutral. We can go higher but I don’t expect much tbh. 19800 - 20100 is my current range. Same as yesterday. Best bears can hope for is to test 19950 tomorrow.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-12-02: 20000 hit, hope you listened. 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 current trading at all. Now it’s about being patient and waiting for the profit taking to start.
current swing trade: None
trade of the day: Buying 20k or Selling 2070. Clear support and resistance on the day.
Sell your GER40. Short long-term setup.The GER40 index is currently in a critical phase, with a key sell zone identified between 20,150 and 20,200. Traders looking to short this area could have a favorable long-term setup, with a target price of around 19,000 by January 2025. If the index breaks below this level, it may signal further weakness, paving the way for a larger bearish trend.
Looking further ahead, by March 2025, if GER40 breaks the 18,900 curvature, it will trigger a major shorting opportunity. This could open up the path for a deeper decline, with a potential target of 16,300 by November-December 2025, as the index could enter a prolonged downtrend.
However, staying above the 19,000 area is critical. If GER40 maintains support above this zone, it could form a bullish cycle, with a potential turnaround in early 2026. A break higher in January 2026 could signal the start of a smaller bullish trend, offering an opportunity for recovery after a period of extended weakness.
Overall, the outlook for GER40 is shaped by the movement around 20,150-20,200. The direction it takes from this key level will dictate whether the index enters a bearish phase or potentially sets the stage for a long-term recovery.
2024-12-02 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
dax futures - Neutral for now. Bullish targets are met with 20k and I will scalp long we have a clear setup but not chasing anything Too early for shorts, best to not mess up your year this late.
comment : After many months of writing about the most outrageous target for the dax, we finally did it. What a time to be alive. Don’t look to be the first bear. Can go higher obviously but I won’t chase anything here. My bullish targets are met, I don’t care about any more upside other than small scalps. Will wait for bigger bears to come around and will watch closely when bulls begin to take bigger profits.
current market cycle: bull trend but very late and will end soon
key levels: 19500 - 20000
bull case: Got nothing more for you. Market’s tend to move from trend to trading range instead of trend in the other direction. So we could spend some more time up here.
Invalidation is below 19700.
bear case: Yeah… Also got nothing for you until bears can get a daily close below 19700 again. We most likely spend more time 19800 - 20100 before another impulse.
Invalidation is above 20100.
short term: Neutral. We can go higher but I don’t expect much tbh. 19800 - 20100 is my current range.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-12-02: 20000 hit, hope you listened. 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 current trading at all. Now it’s about being patient and waiting for the profit taking to start.
current swing trade: None
trade of the day: Longs only. My weekly outlook was pitch perfect and good for 300+ points. Bar 27 to 39 were more than enough signal bars to go long. 40 was really give up bar by the bears and market just went straight up.
Few like European equity, but they should - GER40 to new highs Few like investing in Europe at present, and while France remains constrained by political risk, the German equity index (GER40) is doing everything right from a technical and price action perspective, and positioning for further upside seems the play.
Having held the 19k support level throughout November, the bulls have built a solid platform to progress, taking the index through downtrend resistance & backed by solid range expansion and the index closing on weekly highs.
The ATHs are now being tested, subsequently, a closing break through 19.679 would encourage momentum accounts to chase the upside as we roll into the ECB meeting (12 Dec) and year-end.
A daily close below the 5-day EMA would be a signal to turn cautious, flipping to outright shorts on a closing break of 19k. But for now, long and strong seems the higher probability position.
Good luck to all.
#202448 - priceactiontds - weekly update - dax Good Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
dax xetra: Max bullish. Clear break above and dax printed 19600 again. New ath next week is likely just a matter of when. Targets above are 20000, That’s it. For bears it’s anything below 19130 but that is far away and very low probability. If November closes above 19600, I think 20k is almost a given. After that I will not care about bullish targets any more until we corrected at least 30%. Does not mean I won’t continue scalping it both ways.
Quote from last week:
comment: Thursday and Friday changed the character of the market. Bulls broke above the bear trend line and closed both days at the highs. Next target is the last bear trend line around 19430 before we can retest 19600+. Can only be bullish after past 2 days. Bears can only change my mind if they can close below 19100 again. For now I think many bears gave up and try again around 19500/19600. Is this structure very bullish? Absolutely not. I just think a retest of 19600+ is more likely than a close below 19100. The market spend enough time ins this trading range that the next push above could be the last before we correct in a bigger fashion. After this push up, I would not look for bullish targets until we have seen 18000. Market is overdue for a correction. We will see at least 16000 in 2025.
comment : Late bull breakout during the week like the week before that. Another clear buying signal going into next week. There is not much to add from my tl;dr. Both of my upper bull trend lines run through 20k and I have multiple measured move targets there. More than enough reasons to be bullish and look for longs. Bears can do almost nothing to change my mind, unless we see on giant bear bar closing below 19100 on Monday.
current market cycle: trading range but if we make higher highs, we are obviously in a continuation of the bull trend.
key levels: 19100 - 20000
bull case: Bulls want 20000. Clear as day, as is the breakout. My chart is clear and my invalidation levels are too.
Invalidation is a daily close below 19100.
bear case: Not much for the bears until they close below 19100 again. Did not change that sentence since past Sunday. Bears will dominate 2025 but now is not the time to be early as a bear.
Invalidation is above 20100.
outlook last week:
short term: Very bullish above 19400 and even more above 19600. Below 19100 we are absolutely neutral once again. Hell below 18800.
→ Last Sunday we traded 19322 and now we are at 19626. 300 points on the week, hope you made some.
short term : Max bullish for 20k. Can we chop some before we get there? Sure but I don’t think bears can get this below 19300 again before we hit 20k.
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 for now. The current push is most likely the last of it. Bears will come back soon.
current swing trade: None
chart update: Highlighted bull trend lines and my 5-wave series is still valid.
2024-11-27 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
dax xetra - 19300 was crushed early and we tested 19200 and given yesterday. Market tried to reverse it but failed below the breakout point. That’s bearish on one hand but we closed above the daily and 1h 20ema. Bulls need 19500 and bears 19100. We are trading right in the middle of it and that zone is death for your account. Wait for a strong breakout. It will likely happen tomorrow.
comment: Market hit the midpoint of this trading range and went back above 19300. We are in no mans land between 19200 and 19400. Bearish below, bullish above. Break above 19350 tomorrow and we will see 19400 and likely 19460 afterwards. Fail at 19200 and we go down to 19000. Absolute in balance is what this is, so no bias on my end.
current market cycle: trading range
key levels: 19200 - 19400
bull case: Bulls need a 1h close above 19350 for higher prices. That’s all there is to it right now.
Invalidation is below 19250.
bear case: Bears want to stay inside the bear channel and test 19200 again. We are seeing many converging lines for tomorrow, so it’s reasonable to hope for a bigger trend day tomorrow.
Invalidation is above 19350.
short term: Neutral. Clear levels given, hoping for a big day tomorrow.
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.
current swing trade: None
trade of the day: Short from the open, which was a bit unexpected imo. Market then formed clear and expected support at 19200, which was a good long for 200+ points.

tl;dr
dax xetra- Bullish. Globex opened with a big gap up and bears closed it but could not close the gap to Friday’s closing price. This is bullish confirmation and bulls will now poke the bear trend line until it breaks. Bears would need a 1h close below 19300 to make me question this move. Bear trend line held, which is why we are forming nested triangles. Expect more sideways movement until bulls break above 19500 with force. Afterwards 19600 will come fast and then we retest the ath.
comment: Doji on the daily chart but bulls confirmed the breakout. Not much to add after my tl;dr and my weekly outlook.
current market cycle: trading range
key levels: 19000 - 20000
bull case: Bulls need to keep it above 19300 and poke the bear trend line until it breaks. Next target is 1h close above 19500, followed by 19600/19650.
Invalidation is below 19300.
bear case: Bears could not close the gap to 19357, which shows weakness. If they get it tomorrow, we will test the next bull trend line around 19250 and bulls better pray that holds or it 19100 or lower again. 1h close above 19500 and most bears will give up until 19600. Not more magic to it.
Invalidation is above 19500 (need 1h close above, not another spike and reversal).
short term: Bullish for the breakout above 19500 but for now it’s a clear trading range 19350 - 19500, so buy low, sell high and scalp until we clearly go higher.
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.
current swing trade: None
trade of the day: Selling 19500 was the easiest. Other than that it was a limit order market for small scalps at best.

tl;dr
dax futures - Neutral. More sideways, all given levels still valid and another disappointing day for the bulls. Also a perfect doji when US closed. If you missed my weekly and the update from yesterday, catch up on those. Otherwise move on.
comment: Neutral market around 19150. No deeper meaning until we see the next big move which also closes at the lows or highs. Range and pattern is getting too tight and we will likely see the big move tomorrow or Friday.
current market cycle: trading range
key levels: 18800 - 19360
bull case: No side has an advantage here. Midpoint of the weekly range is 19114 and market closed us session at 19143. Above 19300 we likely go to 19359 and if we break above that, we go much much higher.
Invalidation is below 18869.
bear case: Bears did not dip below 19000 which was good for the bulls but still a daily doji, so no deeper meaning. Bears want a daily close below 19000 bad. If they get it, chances are high that this bull trend is over and we will see much lower prices. Until then, play the range and don’t swing for the fences.
Invalidation is above 19350.
short term : Neutral. Max bullish above 19360 and max bearish below 18860.

current swing trade: None
trade of the day: Market made only lower highs since bar 33 and selling it was ok on bar 42 or latest 55. Reasons to exit was bar 59 if bar 60 would have traded above it but it did not so bar 61 was a decent bull bar and 62 good follow through, had to get out of longs there latest. Could you also go long then? I would not. Too big of a risk that 15m 20ema is resistance and market is trying to test breakout price from bar 48, which it could not even get up to. I also think buying the double bottom 75 + 77 was ok.
