DAX Channeling - Easter present?
Updated
The DAX has been channeling in a 400 pip wide band for the past 2 months. To make matters interesting, the highest high ever of the DAX has already been approached, already bouncing back just 15 pips away from it!
So the question arises: will the DAX break through the channel or not?
If the DAX REMAINS in the channel (as I am hoping), then the following targets and stop-loss arise:
Super Conservative Risk-Reward Ratio of 1:2.6 at Target 3.
Normal Risk-Reward Ratio of 1:4.4 at Target 3.
I suspect there to be strong resistance at the highest high ever (12,390.75).
I will enter a long trade if the DAX bounces off the lower channel boundary and rises nicely.
If it continues channeling, I believe Target 1 will be met after maximum 5 full days, Target 2 after max. 9 full days and Target 3 after max. 12 full days after the bounce.
What do you think?

- Super Conservative Stop-Loss at Fibonacci Extension Level 138.20%: 11986.7 (-107.4 pips)

Further thoughts:
- I like how the first border-to-border move's Fibonacci extension level of 161.80% at the beginning of the channel matches almost perfectly with the second border-to-border move's 100% level.
- That same first border-to-border's move's 112.7% level matches the next top-border bounce perfectly.
Note
The DAX seems to have broken through the channel! If it continues, it means an invalidation of this potential long move!
