Most overbought in 10 years !? I've used 3 forms of technical analysis to make a case for a major top forming in the European markets. If this turns around, it could lead to a 10% selloff very quickly and if this transforms into a bear market then 20% drop is totally on the cards. Nothing goes up forever.
DAX Index
DAX (DE40) The Week Ahead 03rd March ’25Market Sentiment:
The DAX index maintains a bullish outlook, supported by the long-term uptrend. However, recent sideways consolidation near the rising support trendline suggests a potential corrective pullback before the next move.
Bullish Scenario:
Key Support: 22234 (previous consolidation range, 20-day moving average, and rising trendline).
A bounce from 22234 would reinforce the uptrend and could drive price action higher.
Upside Targets:
22700 (initial resistance)
22900 (next resistance level)
23100 (long-term target)
A successful hold above 22234 would signal continued bullish momentum, strengthening the case for further gains.
Bearish Scenario:
A break below 22234, confirmed by a daily close, would weaken the bullish structure.
This could lead to a deeper retracement, targeting:
21780 (next key support)
21254, if selling pressure intensifies
A sustained move below 22234 would invalidate the bullish outlook, increasing the probability of a broader correction.
Market Outlook:
The 22234 remains the key pivot level—holding above this zone keeps the bullish bias intact, while a breakdown could indicate extended downside risk. Traders should monitor price action and volume around this level for confirmation of the next trend direction.

DAX H4 | Falling to swing-low supportDAX (GER30) is falling towards a swing-low support and could potentially bounce off this level to climb higher.
Buy entry is at 22,176.48 which is a swing-low support that aligns with the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level.
Stop loss is at 21,897.00 which is a level that lies underneath a pullback support and the 127.2% Fibonacci extension.
Take profit is at 22,811.89 which is a swing-high resistance.

2025-02-26 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: Very important day tomorrow. Bulls made a new high and higher lows. A breakout above would certainly open the path to the ath-retest 23000. Bulls have defended the bull trend line so far and if bears just step aside enough, we could print a big green day. Bears need lower lows below 22280 to keep this neutral and continue sideways. They would also then have a chance of breaking below the bull trend line and testing down to 22000.
Important this day was. Bulls followed-through as expected but came short of 22900 and a new ath above 23000. Again we have clear invalidation prices for both sides. Above 22750 bulls could try again and continue inside the current bull channel. Below 22550 the bull channel is broken and 22500 has to hold or we flush to 22400. Below 400 is 22k and I do think there is a decent chance we could close February below 22000. Be prepared for some EU trade war news and this could become a risk-off event tomorrow.
current market cycle: bull trend until trend line is broken (daily close below 22300)
key levels: 22100 - 23000
bull case: Was this a lower high major trend reversal? Bulls keep the bull channel alive if they stay above 22550ish. If they do, they remain in control and we could try another run at 22900 or a new ath. Biggest problem for them sits in the White House and we can expect some trade war related news tomorrow, which could be a big trigger for another sell-off.
Invalidation is below 22550.
bear case: Bears have a good setup to crash this down. Double tops on multiple time frames and a news event that could be a huge risk-off event. I have given invalidation prices for both sides, set up notifications and trade accordingly.
Invalidation is above 22750.
short term: Neutral until prices break above or below my given targets. I dream of a February close below 22000.
medium-long term from 2024-02-26: As much as I would love to see this 30% lower, it’s not happening anytime soon. Market will probably has to move sideways for some weeks before this could go down. Daily close below 22000 is needed to turn this neutral and end the bull trend-.
current swing trade: None
trade of the day: Long above 22600 as given yesterday. Was good for 280 points.
Will DAX go for another all-time high?It seems that geopolitics are the key driving force of the MARKETSCOM:DE30 bulls. The current news on a possible end of the war in Ukraine is helping boost trader morale. Let's dig in!

They would also then have a chance of breaking below the bull trend line and testing down to 22000.
current market cycle: bull trend until trend line is broken (daily close below 22300)
key levels: 22100 - 23000
bull case: Bulls give up above 22600 and we sold off on every touch since Thursday. If bulls want to retest 23000, they need to break strongly above 22600 and trap bears who are selling that price for 4 days now. The daily chart still looks bullish enough that bulls remain in control. We are above the daily ema, above the bull trend line and we still have a bullish gap from 22000 - 22300. Plan for tomorrow is to either get a strong breakout above 22600 to buy or look for longs around 22400 and continue with the higher lows.
Invalidation is below 22300.
bear case: Bears need lower lows again or bulls will become more aggressive for a ath retest. If 22600 continues as resistance we will likely go down to 22400 and there we will likely get a decision tomorrow. If we print higher lows again, the next touch of 22600 could get the breakout. Below 22400 the bull trend line could have become weak enough that we might do lower lows again and test down to 22200 or 22170 (last weeks low). Bearish plan is to wait and see if 22600 is still resistance and join the bears down to 22400 but keep a tight stop. I won’t bet on lower lows.
Invalidation is above 22650.
short term: Neutral. Clear plan given, mark the prices and set up alarms.
medium-long term from 2024-02-16: As much as I would love to see this 30% lower, it’s not happening anytime soon. Market will probably has to move sideways for some weeks before this could go down. For now it’s still only up. 23000 likely next.
current swing trade: None
trade of the day: Selling 22600 was the trade that worked since Thursday. Buying the EU open was also decent since 22300 has been support since Globex open on Monday.
DAX INTRADAY coiling, retest of 61.8% FibThe DAX (DE40) equity index price action sentiment appears bullish, supported by the longer-term prevailing uptrend. The recent intraday price action appears to be a sideways consolidation towards the breakout level, previous resistance, and now a new support zone.
The key trading level is at 21780 level, the previous consolidation price range and also the 61.8% Fib retracement zone from the 03rd Feb ’25 lows to the 19th Feb high. A corrective pullback from the current levels and a bullish bounce back from the 21780 level could target the upside resistance at 22400 followed by the 22705 and 22900 levels over the longer timeframe.
Alternatively, a confirmed loss of the 21780 support and a daily close below that level would negate the bullish outlook opening the way for a further retracement and a retest of 21585 support level followed by 21060.

#202508 - priceactiontds - weekly update - dax futuresGood Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: How fitting that the week where I gave up on bearish targets, that we start to see big selling again. Bears certainly surprised with the intensity all of a sudden but it’s the nature of markets that highs get retested. After such a climactic move up, it is not wise to get uber bearish on the first sign of bear strength. Market has moved down very quickly now to important magnets and until they are clearly broken, I will not bet on a breakout below.
I stop with the xetra update because I always questioned the decision to do xetra analysis as well. Is this really worth it because of the gaps or are futures just as good? What shattered my case was the futures 23000 touch and strong sell-off. You can not convince me that xetra is more important to most algo’s after this. No more xetra, only futures. If you do not trade futures, calculate the difference between eurex dax futures and your symbol and you are good. It’s not that hard and if it is, hit me up and I explain it to you.
current market cycle: Bull trend until consecutive daily closes below 22000
key levels: 22000 - 23000
bull case: Bulls see this is a pull-back in a bull trend, down to obvious support. The last time we dipped to the daily 20ema, we rallied 1800 points afterwards. It’s hard to imagine this going to 24000 but I think it’s more likely than continuous selling through the bull trend line and daily ema and 22000. Too much support and important magnets to not expect a bounce. Targets for the bulls are 22400 and then 22600 which is the 50% of the bear leg and then probably already 23000 again. It’s likely that the market has to move sideways first before we can go higher. Right now we are still in a strong sell-off where the market is not touching the 4h ema on the pull-backs.
Invalidation is below 21900.
bear case: Bears are in a spike and channel bear trend and until bulls can make higher highs above 22500 again, bears are in full control. Problem for their case is, who is willing to sell at multiple support in hopes of further downside after such a big rally? We will likely get our answer early on Monday. I think bears are absolutely not favored here and will give up quickly if bulls start the week strong. What I do think is that any upside will probably be limited to around 23000. For now I need to see how Globex opens and if we bottom out around 22200 or need to get to 22000 before we can bounce. Below 21900 I think the odds favor a flush down another 800-1000 points.
Invalidation is above 23000.
short term: Neutral but if bulls show strength, bullish for retest 23000. Problem is that we could go down to 22000 as well and right now I don’t want to risk 300-400 points on longs. Below 21900 this could drop much much lower though.
medium-long term from 2024-02-16: As much as I would love to see this 30% lower, it’s not happening anytime soon. Market will probably has to move sideways for some weeks before this could go down. For now it’s still only up. 23000 likely next.
current swing trade: None
chart update: Highlighted current bull channel.
DAX difficult to sustain price levelIn the recent period, the RSI has been at an extreme level three times (H4 chart).
None of the periods lasted longer than 7-8 days.
DAX showed a 4.5-5 percent increase in all three periods.
For me, this means that a strong correction may arrive within the day/days, but also within the week.
I don't think that a rise of more than 0.5 percent is expected, and after that we will most likely reach the peak (temporary or not?...we can't know, we are not fortune tellers:)
Setup:
Sell @ MKT
Sell @ until 22950
SL @ depend on your risk management
My Long Dax Idea 21-2-2025Took a long on GER40 After the dip that happened yesterday. The fundamentals are straightforward and DAX40 scores 6 on Edgefinder. The technical setups are looking good and indicating for a possible "bottom". Now we don't really know how far this price action will take us up since the European economy is not stable, yet.
Will keep an eye on it.

DAX Bullish Continuation (Potential New ATH After Elections)DAX price seems to exhibit signs of overall bullish continuation as the price action may form another credible Higher Low on key Fibonacci levels.
There might be a possibility that DAX may break it's All Time High Price of 22938.
With the German elections coming up, (given a pandemic free situation of the world), it might be worth observing price the action further if 22938 breaks. A potential break may be indicative of another top OR a prominent new high.
Trade Plan :
Entry @ 22240
Stop Loss @ 20980
TP 0.9 - 1 @ 23374 - 23500

2025-02-19 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: Neutral. Biggest bear bar since November and we are close to the elections. Market printed 23000 to the tick and now what? Tops usually get a retest, which can be a higher or lower high. Given today’s strength and the timing of this move, it’s tough to hold any bigger bias for the next two days.
current market cycle: bull trend (was trading range before and that was obviously wrong, sorry about that)
key levels: 22500 - 23200
bull case: As long as this big bull gap down to 22000 stays open, bulls are fine. If bears close it, market turns neutral for the time being. We have elections on Sunday and at this point it’s probably a bumpy ride for the next two days. 22500 should be huge support for the bulls or we flush to 22000. Xetra high was 22935 which is too close to 23000 to not expect it to get hit. Can bulls buy the lows at 22500 in hopes for an immediate reversal? I doubt it. Too strong and we will probably need some time around (sideways movement) 22500 first. The big bull trend line is somewhat 250 points lower and if we get there, I expect huge buying. My bias is still bullish since I expect bigger upside from here than downside.
Invalidation is below 21950.
bear case: Bears had a huge day and closed below 22500, which is really god for them. Their next target is the big bull trend line around 22250 and if they have enough momentum, they can overshoot down to 22000. 22000 is also the 50% retracement of this recent bull leg, the gap close from last Wednesday and the daily 20ema. Big magnets there but I am cautious after big up and then big down. What I absolutely can’t see for now is anything below 21950. If we get down to 22000, we will probably see big buying for a retest of the highs.
Invalidation is above 23200.
short term: Neutral and cautious. Big up, big down, big confusion. If bears get follow-through, they have big magnets below but I highly doubt the bull trend line will be broken.
medium-long term from 2024-02-16: As much as I would love to see this 30% lower, it’s not happening anytime soon. Market will probably has to move sideways for some weeks before this could go down. For now it’s still only up. 23000 likely next.
current swing trade: None
trade of the day: Sell anywhere. Market did not touch the 10m 20ema for 500 points down.
DAX extends drop to -500 points from ATHThe DAX hit a record high earlier in the day. Fast forward a few hours, it is now down 500 points from that high. A potential rebound may be on the cards, given how strong the trend has been. But this goes to show the markets go down as well as up. What caused the sell-off? Well, firstly it was US President Donald Trump raising the prospect of tariffs of up to 25% on automobile, semiconductor, and pharmaceutical imports. Then, concerns rose about the peace process talks over Ukraine without Kyiv’s involvement.
Trump has just posted THIS about Zelensky:
Think of it, a modestly successful comedian, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, talked the United States of America into spending $350 Billion Dollars, to go into a War that couldn’t be won, that never had to start, but a War that he, without the U.S. and “TRUMP,” will never be able to settle. The United States has spent $200 Billion Dollars more than Europe, and Europe’s money is guaranteed, while the United States will get nothing back. Why didn’t Sleepy Joe Biden demand Equalization, in that this War is far more important to Europe than it is to us — We have a big, beautiful Ocean as separation. On top of this, Zelenskyy admits that half of the money we sent him is “MISSING.” He refuses to have Elections, is very low in Ukrainian Polls, and the only thing he was good at was playing Biden “like a fiddle.” A Dictator without Elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left. In the meantime, we are successfully negotiating an end to the War with Russia, something all admit only “TRUMP,” and the Trump Administration, can do. Biden never tried, Europe has failed to bring Peace, and Zelenskyy probably wants to keep the “gravy train” going. I love Ukraine, but Zelenskyy has done a terrible job, his Country is shattered, and MILLIONS have unnecessarily died – And so it continues...

DAX GE40 Counter Trend Trade IdeaThe DAX is currently overextended, having reached all-time highs and trading at the top of its range. I'm anticipating a pullback on GE40 down to equilibrium for a potential counter-trend short. Once price retraces and establishes support, I'll be watching for a bullish market structure break as a signal to go long. This is not financial advice.
DAX pullback from ATH, support at 22563Key Trading Level is at 22563
Support: 270 followed by 22140 and 21923
Resistance: 23200 followed by 23300

2025-02-17 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: Nothing bearish happening, so max bullishness. I scalp long until it stops working because are obviously not.
current market cycle: trading range
key levels: 22500 - 23200
bull case: Bulls want 23100ish and keep going. Since no one is taking bigger profits and bears not doing anything, why would it stop? Scalp long. If we break outside the bull channel, which is likely in Globex session, wait for a pull-back to maybe 22700 and a good bull signal bar before longing again.
Invalidation is below 21900.
bear case: Bears not doing anything so let’s skip this. Daily close below 22500 changes that again.
Invalidation is above 23200.
short term: Can’t be anything but bullish. Goes only up. Scalp long until it stops. 23k next and likely 23100/23200 because xetra will likely overshoot somewhat.
medium-long term from 2024-02-16: As much as I would love to see this 30% lower, it’s not happening anytime soon. Market will probably has to move sideways for some weeks before this could go down. For now it’s still only up. 23000 likely next.
current swing trade: None
trade of the day: Buying the Globex low since we could not even touch the close of last week. Market printed 1 decent bear bar on the 15m tf and that is obviously not enough to exit any long.
“Rheinmetall Pushes DAX Higher“ but until When?. Trend Lines and Moving Averages:
• Moving Averages (MA): Check the 50-day and 200-day moving averages. DAX is trading above these averages and the 50-day is above the 200-day, that generally indicates an upward trend. A crossover (where the 50-day falls below the 200-day) might suggest a shift to a bearish trend. Stay tuned!!
• Trend Lines: Draw trend lines connecting recent highs & lows. An upward-sloping trend line suggests bullish momentum, Which, in reality triggers an alarm for shortterm buyers to start selling and waiting for a pull back to buy cheaper by waiting downward-sloping bearish pressure.
2. Relative Strength Index (RSI):
• An RSI above 70 typically indicates that the asset might be overbought, suggesting a possible pullback or consolidation.
