DAX - Inverse head and shouldersLooks like this is getting away from our ideal entry level. However, it looks a good candidate to buy on dips on the short term.
Trade Idea
Broken out of the Head and Shoulders formation to the upside.
Positive overnight flows lead to an expectation of a firm open this morning.
Price action looks to be forming a bottom.
Bespoke support is located at 11750.
Further upside is expected although we prefer to set longs at our bespoke support levels at 11750, resulting in improved risk/reward.
We look to Buy at 11750
Stop: 11680
Target 1: 12070
Target 2: 12200
Germany
Johnson's insidious plan, US GDP and dollar’s reactionBoris Johnson asks Queen to suspend parliament.
The decision will cut dramatically the time MPs will have to take action to prevent no-deal Brexit. he is going to ask the Queen to suspend parliament for five weeks from mid-September.
It seems like the Queen is ready to be in. And this means that the opposition will have time until September 12 to prevent the "no-deal" Brexit. The value of the pound has fallen by 1% following news that Prime Minister Boris Johnson is planning to suspend parliament
The signal is more than alarming. Chances of the "no-deal" Brexit have increased dramatically. And this means that you need to be careful. Now we consider such pound descents of 150 points as an opportunity for cheaper purchases. But with stops. Once again, we note that events are developing against the pound, for now.
Data on US GDP for the second quarter will be the main event. Experts expect a slight downward revision. The GDP growth rate is expected to remain at 2 %. Our expectations are more pessimistic. The fact is that the global economy as a whole and individual countries are increasingly showing signs of a slowdown. Very indicative is the data on German GDP, which, recall, showed a decrease in the second quarter. And most importantly, the decrease was due to the slow negative dynamics of exports. That is the direct evidence of the destructiveness of a trade war. There are reasons to expect further deterioration of the situation.
Thus, we will not be surprised if the data is reviewed for the worse, but not by 0.1%, but more for example 1.5%. That will shock markets and the dollar will inevitably suffer. Moreover, the dollar will be under double pressure: the reaction to weak economic data will be multiplied by the growth of confidence in the Fed rate cut in September. So today we will sell the dollar across almost the entire spectrum of the foreign exchange market.
Arrangements, collapse in Germany and data from the USAThe China-United States Trade War is an ongoing economic conflict between the world's two largest economies. Two countries cannot even agree if they are talking. According to Trump, he got a call from Chinese officials, however, China did not confirm that yet. Well, quite possible that there was no call. this means that we are in a situation where the parties are in the active phase of the confrontation. In the light, we will continue to look for points to buy for safe-haven assets (the Japanese yen in the foreign exchange market and gold in the commodity market).
Yesterday extremely weak data on the business climate in the largest economy of the Eurozone came out, today German GDP in the second quarter fell by 0.1%. Another quarter with a minus mark and the recession will be announced officially. Recall recession is a period of general economic decline, defined usually as a contraction in the GDP for six months (two consecutive quarters) or longer. An extremely alarming signal was the decline in German GDP mainly due to a sharp drop in the country's exports (it took 0.5% of GDP growth, actually leading it into the negative zone). This is an example of how the trade war could hurt.
This news confirmed our recommendation to avoid buying euros. Instead, we suggest selling the euro against the Japanese yen and the British pound. This trading idea this week works just great.
As for the dollar, not everything is that simple. Yesterday's data on orders for durable goods, consumer confidence and business activity in the US came out better than expected, which suggests that the US economy is getting better. But, our position on the dollar is unchanged - we are looking for points for its sales. First of all, against the pound and the Japanese yen. Also, on Thursday, revised data on US GDP for the second quarter will be published. Weak data may trigger a short dollar.
Balance, G7 and Jackson Hole outcome, problems of GermanyTrump: China is ready to go back to the negotiating table. China, for its part, reiterated its desire to resolve trade problems through negotiations. safe-haven assets against this background have slightly adjusted and provided excellent opportunities. Despite the optimistic comments from Trump’s side as well as Chinese, everything might change. We have recently observed something similar and buying safe-haven assets tactics on the descents over the past few weeks was the right decision. So our recommendation is to buy gold and the Japanese yen. The only thing, given the increased volatility, do not forget to set stops - it is better to re-enter.
The G7 meeting results can be called insignificant. We did not hear any revolutionary statements. So we believe that this event is already “played out” and taken into account.
As for the Jackson Hole symposium outcome, there was a lot of concern, but representatives of the Central Banks have stated that crisis and cyclical issues need to be solved not only by monetary methods but also by fiscal ones.
Returning to Powell’s speech on Friday, he did not say anything fundamentally new and did not clarify the current state of affairs. Nevertheless, our position on the dollar is unchanged - we are looking for points for its sales.
As for the euro. Data on the business climate in the largest economy of the Eurozone (Germany) again frankly disappointed. The IFO business climate index in August came out worse than expected 94.3 with a forecast of 95.1. This is the minimum value for the last 7 years. Therefore, markets expectations as for the monetary policy easing only intensified. So it’s better to wait a while with euro purchases. But its sales against the pound or the Japanese yen look like good trading ideas.
2 Ways to ride this trendForecast: I am expecting Bund to continue its uptrend going forward next 2 weeks. Currently, this week weekly candle close as an inside bar, suggesting consolidation period. Bund will either expand this coming week or next week.
First: Expansion next week, How to get in?
Trade entry: Long the Daily demand zone, with stop below
Confirmation: Reclaim last week low and eventually reclaim both H4 Support and Last week mid range
Invalidation: Daily candle close below Demand zone
Second: Expansion this week, first wait for monday range to develop, trade will be active afer confirmation is seen
Trade entry: Long at either last week high or weekly open after low of the week is in
Confirmation: Break of previous swing high OR Monday being a down candle and Price reclaim Weekly Open
Key levels mentioned:
- Monthly Open
- Last week high / low / mid - range
- Daily Demand zone
- H4 Support level
Wirecard - not long until bullrunthere are some technical resistances, but we got extreme support areas and an "long" term uptrend. the fundamentals are extreme bullish, we got an growth company with solid financials here. Im sure it will outperform the DAX(Germany 30) this year by a lot.
German Dax 2 hour set upBeen in a prolonged downtrend on the German Dax...world equities really, and it seems we began to bottom out here. We stopped making lower highs and lower lows.
We hit a support one and from there have gained some bids. Seems we got what appears to be a wedge/triangle break above a resistance zone on the 2 hour followed by higher highs and higher lows. A good risk vs reward trade.
Watching the 11920 zone as an interim target, and another zone at 12050 zone.
I still think central banks can cut rates and go back to QE/stimulus so markets can still remain propped...wall street can keep the party going a little longer.
Et tu DAX?Like the big US Indices DJ:DJI and SP:SPX we got a MASSIVE bearish divergence and a an ascending wedge on the 2 Months chart.
The German Economy really does not exude confidence since the creation of the Euro. As we know the EZB is already on an interest rate of 0% and there is no mild exit anymore from this state of economy in the Eurozone. Soon we will see the price they will have to pay, it does not look cheap..
German DAX Head and Shoulders?Not a textbook head and shoulders, but this is real life. What the head and shoulders tells us is a shift from one trend to another, we see this with the swings.
The German Dax had a break below a support/flip zone as other equity indices also sell off.
This is a nice and strong break, but again, perhaps await for the Federal Reserve to speak before entering.
11800 would be a good target zone.

Bitcoin pushed above $12,000 which helped trigger further buying.
Dax daily: 28 Jun 2019Thursday's session was very nice and with reasonably volatile moves for profitable trading. Dax first climbed to hit Wednesday's high and by doing this, the statistical probability of 82% to break previous day high or low was fulfilled. A bit later, sellers took over even though we expected them to react on higher prices. The price sliced through the support zone of 12 229 all the way towards 12 191, which functioned fantastically.
In the end, our analysis scored another success point as we fulfilled another statistic of price closing inside the previous day range, which had a probability of 87%. Today, we open with a small ascending gap.
Important zones
Resistance: 12 344
Support: 12 120
Statistics for today
Detailed statistics in the Statistical Application
Macroeconomic releases
G20 Meeting
Today's session hypothesis
For today, our chances are pretty balanced from the Price Action perspective. Nevertheless, it's important to mention that yesterday's lower price rejection was significantly vigorous. For such reason, Dax is likely to rose climb towards 12 344 where we could find some sellers and return back to yesterday's range. Due to the G20 meeting in Japan, we can expect a slower price movement and nervous markets.

DAX: Limited downside. Strong long term buy signal.With the majority of global stock indices on a seasonal correction, DAX hasn't escaped the pattern and is down -4.85% from the 2019 highs. What stands out is that the downside on this correction is limited to -5.85% (avg) based on the last occurrence of the Golden Cross (MA50 over MA200) on a similar candlestick pattern.
In 2016 following the post Brexit rally the Golden Cross occurred which led to a -5.85% price decline and subsequent consolidation for 90 days. When completed, the MA200 acted as a support for the 2017 bull cycle. With the current candle action being identical we expect a similar price behavior. 11,700 will most likely hold a nearly two month consolidation before the price breaks aggressively towards the All Time Highs.
