German index, what to expect next? In my previous analysis, I projected a reversal in GER40, expecting a corrective move toward the daily Fair Value Gap (DFVG) in the 18,000-18,200 range. Over the past week, the price has nearly reached this target. Looking ahead, I see two potential scenarios:
1. **Further Decline:** The price may continue to move lower, targeting the 1-hour FVG, which is also visible on the 4-hour, daily, and weekly timeframes.
2. **Rebalance and Retest:** A minor drop to the Previous Day's Low (PDL) could lead to a rebound, with a likely rebalancing toward the premium levels early next week (Monday-Thursday). This would include a retest of the Buy-to-Sell (BTS) zone and potentially the 4-hour bearish Order Block (OB), followed by more aggressive selling down to the 18,000-18,200 range.
Once this zone is reached, I'll be monitoring for a potential bounce, which I will detail in my next update.

DAX SHORTThe DAX, Germany's leading stock market index, is experiencing a downturn due to several factors. Global economic uncertainty, inflation concerns, and fears of higher interest rates are weighing on investor sentiment. Additionally, weaker-than-expected corporate earnings reports, especially from key sectors like automotive and manufacturing, have further contributed to the decline. The ongoing geopolitical tensions and energy supply issues in Europe, particularly related to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, are also playing a significant role. As investor confidence falters, the DAX continues to face pressure, signaling potential challenges ahead for the German economy and its broader market outlook.
Anyway, now SHORT.
The DAX index is correcting or changing the trend?Considering its dynamic resistance in the range of 18380, after breaking this area, we can expect the index to rise to the range of 18500 and 18605. Otherwise, after breaking its current support in the one-hour time frame in the 18190 range After the failure of this area, it can be expected to continue its descent to the range of 18071 and in case of strength to the bottom of the channel, i.e. the range of 17968

Riding the Bull: My Probability-Based Approach to Trading GER30The German DAX (GER30) is showing promising signs for potential upside movement, supported by several key fundamental factors:
1. European Central Bank's accommodative stance
2. Improving economic indicators in the Eurozone
3. Strong performance of German export-oriented companies
4. Increasing investor confidence in the European market recovery
To capitalize on this bullish outlook, I'm employing a probability-based approach to enter long positions on GER30.

DAX Index Recovers Its Losses!Following the release of the U.S. non-farm payroll report, which came in below expectations, market risk appetite weakened. The DAX index also accelerated its decline, targeting the 18,257 support level. Expectations for a Fed rate cut have strengthened to 50 basis points, while the ECB is expected to lower rates by 25 basis points at its meeting this week.
Technically, if the 18,285 level is broken on the downside, a pullback could extend first to the 18,075 support and then to 17,920. On the upside, if the price holds above the 18,500 resistance, buying could push the index first towards the 18,700 resistance and then to 18,900.
