#202446 - priceactiontds - weekly update - dax
Good Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
dax xetra: Neutral. Market dipped below previous support bears could not close at the lows and market reversed to trade back above the big number 19000. Bears had a great setup with the head & shoulders and it failed. If bulls can get above 19350 again, many bears will probably give up and only try again above 19500. Daily close below 19000 will probably be the death signal for prices above and we go down to 18000. I still don’t know if we print 18000 before 20000 but I do think we will see both prices this year.
Quote from last week:
comment: Another week where I can’t make up new stuff. Bears dipped below 19000 and again but could not close below it even once. Market is in balance around 19200-19300 and until we have a daily close below 19000 or above 19400, we will continue to oscillate around that range. It’s maybe slightly more bearish because we have closed 4 consecutive days below the daily 20ema.
current market cycle: trading range
key levels: 18800 - 20000
bull case: Bulls kept the market above 19000 but they fail too much against 19300. If the market can’t close above 19300 early next week, I think many bulls could give up on the chase for higher prices. Bulls do not have many arguments as of now, besides keeping it above 19000.
Invalidation is a daily close below 19000.
bear case: Bears are reasonably strong to prevent higher prices but since they can not close below 19000, we are moving sideways inside the range. I have no idea which side will show strength first next week. I do think it’s 50/50 for both sides and I would only join if it’s clear who is in control again. As a bear, I don’t think one can hold short if market goes above 19300 again.
Invalidation is above 19300.
outlook last week:
→ Last Sunday we traded 19215 and now we are at 19210. 5 points on the week. Outlooks do not get any better.
short term: Neutral 19000 - 19300, bullish above for 19600 or higher. Daily close below 19000 is worst case for bulls because there is no more support until 18200.
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
chart update: Highlighted the bull flag but nothing else.

Quote from last week:
comment:Bears failed at 19000 which keeps 20000 alive and it’s more likely that we continue sideways than a break to the downside. Above 19600 I would favor the bulls to get it to a new ath and potentially to 20000. Wednesday was the most important day last week and I would join either side above or below that bar. Otherwise there is currently no deeper meaning of this trading range near the ath.

outlook last week:
short term: Neutral 19000 - 19700, bullish above for 20000. I do think the triangle could play out some more and I am currently more willing to buy below 19200 than to short 19600.
