#202440 - priceactiontds - weekly update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
dax: Perfect bullish outlook last week and we can’t be anything but bullish going into next week as well. 5 consecutive bull bars and Thu+Fri got bigger and closed almost at the high of the day. Market held above the 15m 20ema since Thursday EU open and this should be your guide for now. If we break below, 1h 20ema is the next support and below that I favor a more complex pullback with sideways to down movement. Until bears manage that, it’s max bullishness and the bubble will probably grow to 20000 before we can talk about busting again.
Quote from last week:
comment: Monday left no doubt where we were heading and my outlook was perfect. No one wanted to buy above 19000 and we traded 300 points down again. We are contracting inside the bull wedge and will see a breakout over the next 3 days. That can go either way so I will go neutral into next week. Both sides have reasonable arguments. I do favor the bulls slightly but need confirmation for that and this would only be above 19300/19400 and that is 600 points away. We are inside a trading range 17700 - 19000 for over 6 months now. That is as neutral as it gets. We are making higher highs but by how much? Couple of points and that’s absolutely normal inside trading ranges. And if you think “bUt YoU sAiD wE aRe iN a BuLl wEdGe”, yes. Might blow your brain out but markets can trade inside a multiple of patterns on different time frames and you have to prioritize them by the one starting on the highest tf and working yourself to the lowest tf you want to trade.
comment: Big bull breakout on Friday and now the only question is, are we getting follow through and this breakout is for real or is it a bull trap? I do think both sides have reasonable arguments. Bulls have a very strong two legged move where leg 1 on the weekly chart was 11% and a measured move would bring us above 20000. Bears know that bullish breakouts above multiple bullish patterns are very rare and their chance of success small. I do favor the bulls slightly, since we left a big bull gap behind us and Friday closed at the very high. If bulls get follow through above 19500, this breakout is likely real, if we trade below 19200 again, it might go down to 19000 where the market will probably go more sideways before another impulse.
current market cycle: bull trend
key levels: 19000 - 20000
bull case: Bulls want this monthly September bar closing on it’s high and that would be a huge buy signal. Not many bears can hold long when we close above 19300, because it’s very possible that we see 20000 next. We are once again at a place where the pain trade is up and a blow off top a likely possibility. German GDP will likely be negativ this year, so let’s print the most absurd number the market can come up with. Market always goes where the most liquidity is and it’s obviously up, likely due to short squeezing.
Invalidation is below 19000.
bear case: Bears need to close this giant bull gap or more traders will trade this breakout as a runaway gap to 20000. If they manage to close it, they will likely need to fight more around 19000 until the daily ema comes closer and make the market go more sideways until the next impulse comes around. The more they can stall the market, the better for them. Bulls buying here is purely on momentum and once that fades, many want to secure the profits before the bubble pops.
Invalidation is above 19550.
outlook last week:
short term: Neutral around 18720 but expecting bulls to come around and retest 19000. Could drop to 18500/18600 first though. Anything below 18500 would surprise me big time.
→ Last Sunday we traded 18720 and now we are at 19473. Absolute perfect bullish outlook and I hope you listend and took the longs.
short term: Neutral until bulls break strongly above 19500 with follow through. Small chance bears show strength and trade below 19200 again but some form of pullback/sideways movement is expected. Favoring the bulls to close the month above 19200.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-09-29 : 3 Months left in 2024 and I do think the market is in a trading range where the upper area is around 19000 and the lower area is probably 17000 or 16000 if something bigger comes up. Since we are at the very top, I expect the market to go some sideways before trying to go down again. Not so sure about 19000 being the high, since liquidity could see a bigger increase and upside could be higher. We will likely have another 10%+ correction this year and a possible year end rally.
Update: Possibility of a blow-off top to 20000 is there. If we get there, it will be the short opportunity of the decade.
current swing trade: None
chart update: Removed potential two legged correction and added the big bull gap.
