GER40FT trade ideas
#202428 - priceactiontds - weekly update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
Friday I wrote on twitter that the highs are probably in and I will stand by that. Can I be wrong by another 100 points in the sp500? Sure but I doubt it. The patterns to sell down are aligning on the monthly, weekly and daily tf. The buying was more than climactic and we can see enough indicators pointing down or are already bad. Big institutions won’t jeopardize their whole trading year with overstaying in this bubble. The past 3 trading days formed a perfect bull trap and if bears can start the reverse early next week, we will see some acceleration downwards. As always, don’t blindly long/short anything. Wait for confirmation before you enter a trade.
dax: Big up, big down, bigger up. Interesting week but again, nasty reversal bar on Friday. I doubt bulls will buy this up again. The right shoulder here looks decent enough on the daily chart and market could drop 600 points from here. Confirmation for the bears is a print below 18500. If bulls are strong, they stay inside the wedge and trade back above 18800. 55/45 for the bears imo.
Quote from last week:
comment: Market was completely neutral past week. Let’s look at the weekly chart and what it tells us. 5 Week selloff and now 2 bull weeks and past week was as neutral as it gets. Tells us that the market is in balance and does not know where it will go next. We can draw multiple bad bear trend lines and all are valid until broken. Does not help with trading at this price. Since we have a decent bull support line from the April and June low, we know that the market is in a triangle and the middle is most likely around 18300. As long as market is coming back to that price, you buy low and sell high. Since market is also staying above the weekly 20ema, bears are not favored to suddenly break below it. It’s also trading below the daily 20ema and did not have a daily close above it for 12 trading days. It’s a trading range near the ath, where the market is compressing and will soon see a breakout.
comment: We got the breakout to the upside, then the downside and another upside breakout again. Clearly not the continuation of a strong bull trend but a leg inside the trading range. Friday’s bull bar is a bad buy going into next week, which raises the odds of market moving sideways to down. Two bull wedges on the daily chart and I slightly favor the bears to break to the downside at least to the daily ema 18460. Weekly tf gives head & shoulders vibe but as long as market is staying above the weekly 20ema at 18200, it’s neutral inside the given key level.
current market cycle: trading range - go look at the monthly chart. It’s a clear 4 month trading range. —unchanged
key levels: small range 18200 / 18800
bull case: Bulls want to stay inside the bull wedges and break above them to retest the ath 19006. They are making higher highs and higher lows and are above all important ema.
Invalidation is below 18540.
bear case: Only hope for bears was the decent sell off on Friday for a quick -249 points in 1h which denied the market a daily close above 18700 for 29 trading days. Left shoulder from March/April high was 18836 and Friday’s high was 18822. Close is always close enough. They also see the two bull wedges we have formed and want a break to the downside. Their first target is a retest of Friday’s low 18575 which is almost the open of last week to the tick. If they manage to break below 18540, their next target is the daily 20ema at 18470 and that’s also close to the 50% pb for this whole trading range.
Invalidation is a 1h close above 18800.
outlook last week:
short term: Can’t be anything but neutral again. Bears managed to stay below the daily 20ema but bulls bought the weekly 20ema. Trading range price action. Will get a breakout soon.
→ Last Sunday we traded 18417 and now we are at 18666. High of the week was 18822 and the low was 18190. Outlook was ok. Market closed 40ish points above the open of the week and we made new lows and new highs. Trading range price action, which is why I was and am neutral for this market.
short term: Neutral. Higher highs, lower lows. Expanding triangle, form of trading range. 50% pb is 18439 and if bulls do not rally strongly on Monday, I will look for weakness and a pullback to 18450 or lower.
medium-long term: 17000 over the next 3-6 Months and when we get there, I update again. —unchanged
current swing trade: Nothing
Chart update: Bear wave and trend line is gone and added bull wedges.
The German DAX Is About to RecoverReasons why we are bullish for the German DAX:
the sell-off is politically driven. Political stock markets are known to have short legs
the global market environment is clearly bullish
various technical indicators show clear bullish divergences
the DAX is showing clearer signs of bottoming out in the 18,000 point range
ANALYSIS DAX 05/07/2024DAX index with various technical indicators. Here’s a detailed analysis and a strategy for trading based on the information presented:
Key Components of the Chart
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price):
Weekly VWAP: The values shown are 18,292.03 (low), 18,608.91 (average), and 17,975.16 (high).
VWAP is a trading benchmark that gives the average price a security has traded at throughout the day, based on both volume and price.
Volume Profile:
The gray bars on the left indicate the volume traded at different price levels.
Higher volume at specific price levels can indicate strong support or resistance zones.
Bollinger Bands:
These are the blue and green bands around the price action.
Bollinger Bands consist of a middle band (simple moving average) and two outer bands (standard deviations away from the middle band).
The bands expand and contract based on market volatility.
Candlestick Patterns:
The chart shows the price movement through candlesticks, which indicate the opening, closing, high, and low prices for each time period.
Horizontal Lines:
The orange line around the 18,450 level and the light blue lines around 17,900 and 18,600 levels indicate important support and resistance levels.
Technical Analysis
Trend Analysis:
The DAX index is in an uptrend, as evidenced by the series of higher highs and higher lows.
The price is trading above the weekly VWAP, indicating bullish momentum.
Support and Resistance:
Immediate resistance is around the 18,453.24 level (current price).
Significant support levels are at 18,000 and 17,800.
Bollinger Bands:
The price is currently near the upper Bollinger Band, which could indicate overbought conditions. This suggests a potential pullback or consolidation in the near term.
Volume Profile:
High volume nodes around the 18,000 to 18,500 range suggest strong buying interest and potential support if the price pulls back.
Market Sentiment:
The consistent uptrend and position above the VWAP suggest bullish market sentiment. However, traders should watch for signs of reversal or consolidation near resistance levels.
Strategy for Buying and Selling DAX
Entry (Buy) Strategy
Support Levels:
Buy on Pullbacks to Support: Look for buying opportunities when the price pulls back to the support levels at 18,000 or 17,800. Confirm the support with a bounce or bullish candlestick pattern (e.g., hammer, bullish engulfing).
VWAP:
Buy Above VWAP: Consider buying when the price is trading above the weekly VWAP (18,608.91) as it indicates bullish momentum.
Volume Confirmation:
High Volume on Pullbacks: Ensure there is significant volume when the price approaches support levels, indicating strong buying interest.
Bollinger Bands:
Buy Near Lower Bollinger Band: If the price touches or approaches the lower Bollinger Band, it can indicate the price is oversold and might reverse.
Exit (Sell) Strategy
Resistance Levels:
Sell at Resistance: Look to take profits near the resistance level at 18,453.24. If the price struggles to break this level, it may reverse.
VWAP:
Sell Below VWAP: If the price drops below the weekly VWAP, it can indicate a shift to bearish momentum. Consider selling if this happens.
Volume Confirmation:
High Volume on Rallies: Ensure there is significant volume when the price approaches resistance levels, indicating strong selling interest.
Bollinger Bands:
Sell Near Upper Bollinger Band: If the price touches or approaches the upper Bollinger Band, it can indicate the price is overbought and might reverse.
Risk Management
Stop-Loss Placement:
Below Support for Longs: Place stop-loss orders slightly below the identified support levels (e.g., below 17,800 if buying at 18,000) to limit potential losses.
Above Resistance for Shorts: If shorting, place stop-loss orders slightly above the identified resistance levels.
Position Sizing:
Use Appropriate Position Size: Calculate your position size based on your risk tolerance and the distance to your stop-loss. Ensure you're not risking more than a small percentage (e.g., 1-2%) of your trading capital on a single trade.
Trailing Stop:
Protect Profits with Trailing Stop: Use a trailing stop to lock in profits as the price moves in your favor. This allows you to capture more gains if the trend continues while protecting against sudden reversals.
Example Trade Plan
Entry: Buy at 18,000 with confirmation of support.
Stop-Loss: Place stop-loss at 17,700.
Take Profit: Set initial take profit at 18,453.24.
Trailing Stop: Implement a trailing stop of 100 points to capture additional gains if the price continues to rise.
This strategy leverages support and resistance levels, VWAP, and Bollinger Bands to identify optimal buy and sell points while incorporating sound risk management practices. Always adjust your strategy based on real-time market conditions and additional technical or fundamental analysis.

comment: Uneventful trading was expect, since US holidays mostly go sideways in a tight trading range. Market had a good spike at the open which had to be faded and that was the trade of the day. Other than that, market is oscillating around 18600, which is 25 points above the open of the week/month. It’s do or die for both sides here. If bulls can break above 18630, 18900 comes in play. If bears win it, we could have a nasty reversal and will be on our way to 18000 again. I still think the bears trend line could be in play, if bears trade below it early tomorrow. If not, successful breakout above and odds will favor the bulls.
current market cycle: trading range (triangle)
key levels: 18200 - 18600
bull case: Bulls want to break above 18600 and out of the triangle. If they manage that, bears will likely give up and market is free to trade 18800 or 19000 again. —unchanged
Invalidation is below 18500.
bear case: Bears need to prevent prices above 18630 and break outside of this tight bull wedge. Dax is in a trading range for 6 months and betting on a continuation of it, is far more profitable in the long run than betting on breakouts. R:R here is on the bears side but I would not think about shorts above 18500. So bears see an expanding triangle, a bigger triangle and a small bull trend that already had 3 pushes up. If they can’t turn it here, we will probably melt to 19000 like nasdaq did today. Since we are currently seeing a funny rotation between the markets, absolutely possible that liquidity will be shoved into Dax tomorrow for a breakout.
Update: Since text above is still valid, I did not change it.
Invalidation is above 18630.
short term: Can’t be bearish after 2 strong bull days but I sure won’t be bullish at multiple resistances. I wait for strong buying/selling and follow the market. Can absolutely see this breaking to either side tomorrow. What I don’t expect is market to stall above 18500. Either down or up. —unchanged
medium-long term: My long term outlook stays bearish and I expect at least a -20% correction in 2024. Medium term is 17100 while I think we can touch the big bull trend line starting 2022-10 around 16700 in 2024. —unchanged
current swing trade: None
trade of the day: Just don’t trade on these days unless you are 9/10 days in tight trading ranges profitable.
If you enjoy my writings, please leave a boost or follow.
Thank you and I wish your trading to be profitable.
German40Price hit its main support

Buy the dip on EU sharesDue to geopolitical and political uncertanties, we have seen declines EU stock market the last weeks. I think this could be a good place to start buying again for the longer run.

comment: Globex was the low of the day and bulls just bought relentlessly since the EU open. 3 doji bear bars on the 1h chart today will make follow through likely but we are again at the bear trend line in this big triangle and that line held 4 times now. Betting on a breakout is a losing strategy. Wait for it to happen and follow the market.

trade of the day: Long anywhere. Watch higher time frames because they left no doubt today. I made that mistake and could not get myself into longs. Bad trading on my end.

overall market comment
Indexes - SP500 and Nasdaq had bull trends from the open and almost went up in one straight line on higher time frames. Both produced lower highs but given the strength of today, we can expect some follow through tomorrow. If bears somehow manage to reverse here and keep the lower highs, there is no reason why we can’t reverse to the lows of the week again. Market is all still inside their trading ranges and most breakout attempts fail.
Commodities - Gold is again not worthy to be written about. Oil touched the bear trend line today on relentless buying but market gave back around 150 points afterwards. All of my bullish targets are met here and market could very well begin forming a top here before trading lower again.
Bitcoin turned exactly where it had to and where my painting showed it would. There is a tiny bull trend line around 61500 and if that is broken, we will see 58000 or lower again. For the slight possibility that bulls turn this around again and stay inside the bull channel, they would have to break the bear trend line above 63000, which would then open up the road to 65000 again but I think this is very low probability.
dax
comment: 18300 is the most important price for dax for many days now. Today we sold off but market grinded higher to the 50% pb and that is around 18300. We have a decent bear channel which could hold and a third leg down would bring us to 18000 again. It’s still a trading range and a bigger third leg is lower probability. Markets usually have two legs inside ranges, so we could turn up from here to 18500 again. Neutral is the name of the game.
current market cycle: trading range
key levels: 18000 - 18600
bull case: Bulls need to break outside of the bear expanding triangle and their first target above is today’s open pricea t 18419. If they could do that, they will probably get to 18500 again. For now I think bulls are not good and they don’t have many arguments on their side.
Invalidation is below 18180.
bear case: Strong selling by the bears since EU open and market could not trade above the 1h ema the whole day. They want follow through tomorrow and keep the bear expanding triangle alive. Their targets below are 18100 which is where the bigger triangle bull trend line is. I don’t see them breaking it but if they do, obvious target below is 18000.
Invalidation is above 18400.
short term: Neutral between 18300 - 18370. Bearish below and bullish above (if bulls can break outside of the exp triangle).
medium-long term: My long term outlook stays bearish and I expect at least a -20% correction in 2024. Medium term is 17100 while I think we can touch the big bull trend line starting 2022-10 around 16700 in 2024. —unchanged
current swing trade: None
trade of the day: Short since Globex or from the EU open. Low of last week was 18221 so a good place to look to take profits or exit shorts. Market turned at 18190.
Germany's DAX Threatening Big Break Below Trend SupportGermany's DAX index has had a solid 2024 so far, but the shine may be coming off the bullish technicals as we head into the second half of the year.
After hitting a record high near 19K in May, the index has seen its gains stall out. Prices retreated to bullish trend line support in mid-June, and with bulls failing to drive a convincing bounce off that level, the DAX is now at risk of a bearish breakdown below that level of dynamic support. A breakdown could target the March/April closing lows in the 17.7K zone next.
GER30 H4 | Potential bullish reversalGER30 is falling towards a pullback support and could potentially bounce off this level to climb higher.
Buy entry is at 18,050.68 which is a pullback support.
Stop loss is at 17,900.00 which is a level that lies underneath a multi-swing-low support and the 127.2% Fibonacci extension level.
Take profit is at 18,370.11 which is a pullback resistance that aligns with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level.

comment: Funny thing for me is the fact that ath to June high is about 200 points, June to July high now is about 200 and low of the week was 200 points below that. Markets eh. 4h chart tells it the best I think. Market touched the big bear trend line from ath and was rejected heavily. Bulls have going for them that the higher lows getting higher and the trend lines steeper. Means we are forming multiple triangles, which confirms the obvious trading range. Breakout this week. Buckle. Up.
current market cycle: trading range
key levels: 18400 - 18632
bull case: Bulls making higher lows but every high is sold big time. Only questions imo is, when will they give up? By not with every 1h bar it get’s more obvious that this bull trend is on it’s last legs and if you bought longer term above 18000, you are not happy with the bear trend line. Higher high above 18600 was unexpected somewhat but turned where it had to. Bulls need a strong daily close above 18600 to make bears nervous. I expect another try at 18600 tomorrow or Wednesday.
Invalidation is below 18400.
bear case: Bears trapped bulls buying above 18500 but the sell off afterwards was not deep enough to make a good bear case out of this. Bears need start making lower lows and closing the bull gap to 18400 with a bear bar closing on its low.
Invalidation is above 18632 or a 1h close above the bear trend line.
short term: Neutral but if bulls manage to get a 1h close above the bear trend line, it could go much higher much faster.
medium-long term: My long term outlook stays bearish and I expect at least a -20% correction in 2024. Medium term is 17100 while I think we can touch the big bull trend line starting 2022-10 around 16700 in 2024. —unchanged
current swing trade: None
trade of the day: Buy low, sell high and scalp. Best trade was shorting against the bear trend line 18600.
