DAX - SYMMETRICAL TRIANGLE BREAKS UP?Having traded in a daily range for several weeks/months now, Germany's most famous index has seen its medium-term trend remain neutral.
However, the symmetrical triangle, a pattern much appreciated by traders, has been forming on the index for several days now, providing a clear indication of the supports and resistances offered by the price action.
At the time of writing, the price is close to 18,520 points and in contact with the triangle's descending resistance. A break of this level could take prices back to the next resistance level, 18,750 - 18,790, where some buyers will certainly lighten up their positions and some short sellers will poke their noses in.
Bear in mind that the all-time high on the DAX is just above this at 18,913.
A failure of the buyers on the descending resistance of the triangle could bring the price back to the bottom of the triangle and allow the continuation of the pattern and therefore of the index's range.
