2024-12-19 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr dax futures - Neutral. Bears confirmed the sell-off and bears are hoping for a second leg down. I lean to closing tomorrow near 20000 instead of a big second leg down tomorrow but I am open to surprises. Anything above 20150 would surprise me. comment : Bear confirmation and I got 2 measured move targets between 19750 and 19800. Can we get there tomorrow? Possible but not likely I think. We saw decent buying above 19900 and I think it’s more reasonable to expect a close of the week around 19950 - 20000. If bear gap from 20100 - 20200 stay open for the whole 100 points, it would show great bear strength and we could expect a bigger second leg down. Base case for me tomorrow is chop from hell. current market cycle: trading range key levels: 19800 - 20200 bull case: Bulls tried multiple times and market still closed the US session at the lows. Best bulls can hope for tomorrow is to prevent the second leg down and stay above 19900. Invalidation is below 19900. bear case: Follow-through selling by the bears which is nice. For now I think it’s more reasonable for bears to take profits going into quad witching and that’s probably why we saw a bigger trading range today. Look at the 1h 20ema and if it continues to be resistance. Invalidation is above 20200. short term: Neutral around 20000 and very bearish below 19900. I expect this week to close a bit below 20000 and anything below 19900 would surprise me. medium-long term - Update from 2024-12-15: Will write a new outlook for 2025 next week. current swing trade: None trade of the day: Chop chop. Best trade was probably selling the double top bar 54 (prev high was bar 35).

2024-12-12 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr dax futures - Neutral. Bulls tried 4 times to push above 20450 and failed. Bears did not take advantage and we printed higher lows. As of now it looks like 20400 is the neutral price for tomorrow but I expect a bigger range to both sides before we settle probably somewhere around 20400 again. Any close at the extremes to either side would surprise me. comment: Clear trading range 20300 - 20500 until we strongly break above or below. For tomorrow I think we can do a retest of the ath 20506 and maybe even a breakout below the channel and test 20350 or lower. I do not expect the week to close to at either extreme. 20400 is the 50% of the current range and the biggest magnet for now. Tomorrow is quad witching. So don’t mess up your trading week getting trapped. current market cycle: bull trend but very late and will end soon key levels: 20000 - 20500 bull case: Market is not finding enough buyers above 20450 but bulls are still eager to not let the market make lower lows. Invalidation is below 20300. bear case: Bears are content with selling 20450 and that’s about it. We are far above the daily 20ema and bears have only printed 2 daily doji bars. That’s as weak as it gets. Higher prices are still possible. Only a daily close below 20k would help their case. On the 1h chart one could argue that we had 3 legs up inside the current bull channel and market is free to test lower but where are the consecutive strong bear bars? Bears are weak. Invalidation is above 20520. short term: Mostly neutral but we are making higher lows and higher highs. Expecting a bigger range for tomorrow but any close above 20500 or below 20380 would surprise me. medium-long term - Update from 2024-12-02: 20000 hit, hope you listened. 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 current trading at all. Now it’s about being patient and waiting for the profit taking to start. current swing trade: None trade of the day: Buy low sell high inside range or just don’t trade at all. Atrocious day.

2024-12-23 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr dax futures - Neutral. Bears defended the Globex gap and market stayed below the lower bear trend line, which we broke below on Thursday. Very good for the bears but since we opened and closed near Friday’s close, market is in balance for now. Bears need to break below 20000 and bulls above 20150. Clear support and resistance, so play the range or wait for a breakout. comment: Let’s try not to extrapolate more from today’s price action than there was. Open was 40 points below Friday’s close and US session closed 10 points above the EU open. current market cycle: trading range key levels: 19800 - 20200 bull case: Bulls stopped the selling near the 50% retracement of Friday’s bull leg. Until they get a 1h bar close above 20150, the market is as neutral as it gets. Above 20150 there probably won’t be any resistance until 20250ish or even 20300. Invalidation is below 19970. bear case: Bears have going for them that they kept it below the channel we broke below from and below Friday’s high, which means we have an open Globex gap. Problem they have is that they tried 3 times to get below 19990 today and failed. Now market has made two credible higher lows and bears can not hold short once we get above 20140. Invalidation is above 20140. short term: Neutral around 20050. Very bullish above 20150 and bearish only below 19980. medium-long term from 2024-12-22: Any short near 20000 is reasonable if you can hold for another 1000 points higher. 17000 is much more likely than 21000 though. My first target for the next months is 19000, followed by 17700ish and ultimately down to 16000-16300 in 2025. current swing trade: None trade of the day: Selling 20060 and buying 20000 was good for much more trades than you should take.

2024-12-18 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr dax futures - Neutral. Big up, big down, big confusion. Can the selling continue and accelerate? Yes. Can we also see a bigger bounce from 20000? Also yes. Not as easy to trade as you might think because bounces can be big and you have to trade really small. Huge volatility is not the time to swing for the fences. 19802 is the next target for bears (breakout retest) and chances are good that we get there. 20000 is a very important number and that is why the path leading down to 19800 could be choppier than your account is comfortable with. comment : Bull trend is likely over and I will give my bigger outlook on the next weekly update. US session closed it around 20000 and that price is the obvious magnet. 1h close below brings 19800 in play but it’s also possible that we bounce from here. Selling was strong enough that the best bulls can get over the next days is some sideways movement. Don’t short the hole. We have quad witching this week and markets can always do a huge pullback. current market cycle: bull trend is very likely over - expecting more sideways until end of 2024 before the real selling can begin key levels: 19800 - 20400 bull case: Bulls could be running for the exits to secure the profits. It’s hard to tell in quad witching weeks because prices tend to get distorted. In any case the upside will very likely be limited now. Best bulls can hope for tomorrow is sideways around 20000. Any bounce above 20200 would surprise me. Invalidation is below 19800. bear case: Huge day for the bears and they want to accelerate this down to trap many late bulls. 19800 is the breakout retest and their next target. If we drop below, this could get really nasty. 19600 is close to the big bull trend line and other markets have already broken theirs, so it could happen this week. If you still have long positions, I would not hope for a huge year end rally and just get out. Invalidation is above 20400. short term: Neutral around 20000. Bears need follow through down to 19800 and they can get it but always remember, markets can have huge pullbacks and huge volatility comes with big risk, so trade small. medium-long term - Update from 2024-12-15: Will write a new outlook for 2025 next week. current swing trade: None trade of the day: Choppy EU session and it closed near the open. FOMC totally changed the markets and now it comes down to tomorrow’s follow through by the bears. No trade of the day. You could not have known what Jpow says and how markets react. Don’t fool yourself.

2024-12-17 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr dax futures - Neutral. Third consecutive bear bar on the daily chart but the selling is weak. Bears barely push the market down and we are still 200 points above 20000. The bear channel held but chances are decent that it breaks tomorrow and we either go more sideways 20200 - 20400 or test 20500 again. comment: Bears made new lows, which is nice but the pullback is still minor on the daily chart. Anything below 20200 would surprise me and then we could see some acceleration down to 20000. Much more likely is a break of the bear trend line around 20300 and a retest of 20500+ current market cycle: bull trend but very late and will end soon key levels: 20000 - 20500 bull case: Bulls buying all the dips and it’s probably just a matter of time when the bears give up again. All bear bars below 20300 look weak and bears have tried 6 times now to break below the channel and have failed. Bullish targets for tomorrow are 20300, 20370 and then 20500. Invalidation is below 20200. bear case : Bears are trying but getting nowhere. Best they can hope for tomorrow is sideways between 20200 - 20300. How likely is it that Jpow grows some, tells the markets they are insane and no more rate cuts? Yeah. Invalidation is above 20600. short term: Neutral 20200 - 20300. Bullish above for 20400 or higher. Bearish below 20200 for 20000. medium-long term - Update from 2024-12-15: Will write a new outlook for 2025 next week. current swing trade: None trade of the day: Buying the open and then selling at the bear trend line. The move down accelerated at a weird time and price, so I cut my profitable shorts too early. FML.

2024-12-09 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr dax futures - Weekly outlook on point. 20506 was the max and we have seen the start of profit taking today. I expect 20200 to be hit tomorrow or Wednesday but it will be a choppy way to get there. We have an ugly head & shoulders on the 30m/1h tf and the measured move goes to around 20200. Close is always close enough. It’s possible that we retest 20500 before another leg down, so don’t short the lows, unless there is a clear and strong break below. dax futures comment: Clear trading range 20300 - 20500 until we strongly break above or below. Bears closed at the lows, which is good for them and fits with my weekly outlook. current market cycle: bull trend but very late and will end soon key levels: 20000 - 20500 bull case: As long as bulls keep it above 20300, they are good. They want to keep the market in a tight trading range near the ath. That’s about it. Got no higher targets for you. 20500 is beyond insane but we can go higher if we see another Santa rally after the pullback. Invalidation is below 20280ish. bear case: Bears want to print lower highs and trap late bulls. If they strongly break below 20300 tomorrow, we could see some acceleration to bigger support. The poor structure between 19700 and 20300 is one giant spike that wants to be filled. For now I take it level by level. 20300 and then see if we can do 20200 and 20000 after. Invalidation is above 20520. short term: No bigger interest in shorting now lows but rather pullbacks, as long as we make lower highs. 20200 is my first target and if we go above 20400 again, I would only short 20500 again or on really strong momentum. medium-long term - Update from 2024-12-02: 20000 hit, hope you listened. 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 current trading at all. Now it’s about being patient and waiting for the profit taking to start. current swing trade: None trade of the day: 20478 was previous resistance and the open was 20480. Shorting it was the trade of the day.

2024-12-05 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr dax futures - Neutral until we get a decent 1h bar close below the 20ema. 20400 is overbought on probably every metric known to man. Does this mean we will sell off tomorrow? Sadly not. Can go even higher, since bears not doing anything and the buyers are still making money because we print daily new ath. Chances are there for a deep pullback into the weekend but they are very low and we need strong confirmation first. Zero interest in buying this. comment: Break one bull wedge and print another. Bulls are still in control. Bears need a 1h close below ema , which would also be a break of the nearest lower bull trend line. 20300 tomorrow would be nice and anything below 20250 really bad for bulls. Got no more bullish targets for you. It’s a bubble. It will pop. current market cycle: bull trend but very late and will end soon key levels: 20000 - 20400 bull case: Even beyonder overbought today. Can obviously continue but buying this is asking for getting trapped. Invalidation is below 20250. bear case: The 1h 20ema now hold for basically 1100 points. It will break over the next 1-3 sessions. 20300 is the first target for bears and they should finally stop the market from making daily new ath. Still a couple of bullish patterns that need to be broken first, before we can talk about two-sided trading or bears having arguments for lower prices. Invalidation is above 20400. short term: Only waiting for bears to come around. Zero interest in buying. Below 20100 into the weekend would be nice but it’s unlikely. medium-long term - Update from 2024-12-02: 20000 hit, hope you listened. 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 current trading at all. Now it’s about being patient and waiting for the profit taking to start. current swing trade: None trade of the day: Buying the open, duh. 1h 20ema held for more than a week now.

2024-12-04 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr dax futures - Not getting bullish above 20000. We have a clear wedge which will likely break tomorrow. Once the profit taking begins, it will be nasty. For now longs against the 1h 20ema are decent until we clearly break below and outside of the wedge. I doubt we close this week above 20000 tbh. comment: Trade the current bull wedge until broken. I expect that we will see a breakout tomorrow or Friday and I do think it’s possible that we close the week below 20000. The rally is beyond overbought and climactic. current market cycle: bull trend but very late and will end soon key levels: 20000 - 20300 bull case: 20300. Beyond overbought. Can go some more but not much. High is near or already in. Invalidation is below 19700. bear case: Market broke above multiple patterns and chances are good that this is a bull trap and we will reverse soon. For now the bears have nothing but I expect a deep pullback soon. Maybe a pullback to 20000 tomorrow, retest of 20250 or even 20300 and then some more downside. Rough guess as of now. Invalidation is above 20400. short term: No more bullish targets. 20000 is the first pullback target and I think we will break out of the bull wedge tomorrow or Friday. medium-long term - Update from 2024-12-02: 20000 hit, hope you listened. 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 current trading at all. Now it’s about being patient and waiting for the profit taking to start. current swing trade: None trade of the day: Buying the open, duh. 20200 was good support, so longs against that paid multiple times.

2024-12-03 - priceactiontds - daily update - dax futuresGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr dax futures - Neutral again. More chop expected. Can bulls do another leg up? Yes. Is it likely? I think it’s 50/50 right now. Bears obviously not doing enough and bulls are still buying above 20000, which is very bullish. Bulls have 2 bull trend lines as support around 20000 and 19950. It’s still BTFD until we make lower lows again below 19900. comment: After many months of writing about the most outrageous target for the dax, we finally did it. What a time to be alive. Don’t look to be the first bear. Can go higher obviously but I won’t chase anything here. My bullish targets are met, I don’t care about any more upside other than small scalps. Will wait for bigger bears to come around and will watch closely when bulls begin to take bigger profits. current market cycle : bull trend but very late and will end soon key levels: 19500 - 20000 bull case: Can do 20200 but we could have also seen the highs. It’s a gamble to bet on higher prices. Long the pullbacks until we make lower lows again on the 1h or 2h tf. Invalidation is below 19700. bear case: Nothing changed. Got nothing for bears until they can get a daily close below 19700 again. We most likely spend more time 19800 - 20100 before another impulse. Invalidation is above 20100. short term: Neutral. We can go higher but I don’t expect much tbh. 19800 - 20100 is my current range. Same as yesterday. Best bears can hope for is to test 19950 tomorrow. medium-long term - Update from 2024-12-02: 20000 hit, hope you listened. 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 current trading at all. Now it’s about being patient and waiting for the profit taking to start. current swing trade: None trade of the day: Buying 20k or Selling 2070. Clear support and resistance on the day.

2024-12-02 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr dax futures - Neutral for now. Bullish targets are met with 20k and I will scalp long we have a clear setup but not chasing anything Too early for shorts, best to not mess up your year this late. comment : After many months of writing about the most outrageous target for the dax, we finally did it. What a time to be alive. Don’t look to be the first bear. Can go higher obviously but I won’t chase anything here. My bullish targets are met, I don’t care about any more upside other than small scalps. Will wait for bigger bears to come around and will watch closely when bulls begin to take bigger profits. current market cycle: bull trend but very late and will end soon key levels: 19500 - 20000 bull case: Got nothing more for you. Market’s tend to move from trend to trading range instead of trend in the other direction. So we could spend some more time up here. Invalidation is below 19700. bear case: Yeah… Also got nothing for you until bears can get a daily close below 19700 again. We most likely spend more time 19800 - 20100 before another impulse. Invalidation is above 20100. short term: Neutral. We can go higher but I don’t expect much tbh. 19800 - 20100 is my current range. medium-long term - Update from 2024-12-02: 20000 hit, hope you listened. 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 current trading at all. Now it’s about being patient and waiting for the profit taking to start. current swing trade: None trade of the day: Longs only. My weekly outlook was pitch perfect and good for 300+ points. Bar 27 to 39 were more than enough signal bars to go long. 40 was really give up bar by the bears and market just went straight up.

2024-11-28 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr dax futures - Max bullishness. Bulls bought it all today. We barely made higher highs and are still under 19500 but every small dip was relentlessly bought. Bulls also defended the Globex gap and that fact + that we closed right at the highs is the strongest buy signal going into tomorrow there is. I expect a quick move abov 19500, followed by some sideways movement before we go for 19600 and I don’t think it can prevent a new ath either tomorrow or next week. I only get bearish below 19350. comment : Bulls set up a big breakout for the coming days. Every dip was bought and we closed at the highs. Easy validation levels now. 19519 was high of the week and we will likely hit it tomorrow for some sideways movement afterwards. Very bullish for 19600 after that. If we drop below 19380 again, means the bull trend line broke and we have many support prices between that and 19300. Do or die for the bulls here. Fail and down to 19300 or lower. Break above and likely 19600 and new ath. current market cycle : trading range key levels: 19300 - 19600 bull case: Bulls want the breakout above 19520 and they are perfectly set up to get it. Measured move from today brings us almost exactly to the ath 19802. There. Are. No. Coincidences. Invalidation is below 19350. bear case: Bears need to stay below 19500 to have a reasonable chance of going more sideways and then down below 19350. Below that, they will likely gain more momentum and go down to 19300 or 19200. Until then, they have little arguments on their side after today. Market now closed 4 consecutive bars above the daily 20ema and bears could not even close the Globex gap today. That is so bullish because it’s so rare, you can not think about shorting this until bears have shown strength again. Invalidation is above 19520. short term: Bullish. Expect a meltup. 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 trade of the day: Longs only. Every dip buy made you money.

2024-11-27 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr dax xetra - 19300 was crushed early and we tested 19200 and given yesterday. Market tried to reverse it but failed below the breakout point. That’s bearish on one hand but we closed above the daily and 1h 20ema. Bulls need 19500 and bears 19100. We are trading right in the middle of it and that zone is death for your account. Wait for a strong breakout. It will likely happen tomorrow. comment: Market hit the midpoint of this trading range and went back above 19300. We are in no mans land between 19200 and 19400. Bearish below, bullish above. Break above 19350 tomorrow and we will see 19400 and likely 19460 afterwards. Fail at 19200 and we go down to 19000. Absolute in balance is what this is, so no bias on my end. current market cycle: trading range key levels: 19200 - 19400 bull case: Bulls need a 1h close above 19350 for higher prices. That’s all there is to it right now. Invalidation is below 19250. bear case: Bears want to stay inside the bear channel and test 19200 again. We are seeing many converging lines for tomorrow, so it’s reasonable to hope for a bigger trend day tomorrow. Invalidation is above 19350. short term: Neutral. Clear levels given, hoping for a big day tomorrow. 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 trade of the day: Short from the open, which was a bit unexpected imo. Market then formed clear and expected support at 19200, which was a good long for 200+ points.

2024-11-25 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr dax xetra- Bullish. Globex opened with a big gap up and bears closed it but could not close the gap to Friday’s closing price. This is bullish confirmation and bulls will now poke the bear trend line until it breaks. Bears would need a 1h close below 19300 to make me question this move. Bear trend line held, which is why we are forming nested triangles. Expect more sideways movement until bulls break above 19500 with force. Afterwards 19600 will come fast and then we retest the ath. comment: Doji on the daily chart but bulls confirmed the breakout. Not much to add after my tl;dr and my weekly outlook. current market cycle: trading range key levels: 19000 - 20000 bull case: Bulls need to keep it above 19300 and poke the bear trend line until it breaks. Next target is 1h close above 19500, followed by 19600/19650. Invalidation is below 19300. bear case: Bears could not close the gap to 19357, which shows weakness. If they get it tomorrow, we will test the next bull trend line around 19250 and bulls better pray that holds or it 19100 or lower again. 1h close above 19500 and most bears will give up until 19600. Not more magic to it. Invalidation is above 19500 (need 1h close above, not another spike and reversal). short term: Bullish for the breakout above 19500 but for now it’s a clear trading range 19350 - 19500, so buy low, sell high and scalp until we clearly go higher. 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 trade of the day: Selling 19500 was the easiest. Other than that it was a limit order market for small scalps at best.

2024-11-20 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr dax futures - Neutral. More sideways, all given levels still valid and another disappointing day for the bulls. Also a perfect doji when US closed. If you missed my weekly and the update from yesterday, catch up on those. Otherwise move on. comment: Neutral market around 19150. No deeper meaning until we see the next big move which also closes at the lows or highs. Range and pattern is getting too tight and we will likely see the big move tomorrow or Friday. current market cycle: trading range key levels: 18800 - 19360 bull case: No side has an advantage here. Midpoint of the weekly range is 19114 and market closed us session at 19143. Above 19300 we likely go to 19359 and if we break above that, we go much much higher. Invalidation is below 18869. bear case: Bears did not dip below 19000 which was good for the bulls but still a daily doji, so no deeper meaning. Bears want a daily close below 19000 bad. If they get it, chances are high that this bull trend is over and we will see much lower prices. Until then, play the range and don’t swing for the fences. Invalidation is above 19350. short term : Neutral. Max bullish above 19360 and max bearish below 18860. 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 trade of the day: Market made only lower highs since bar 33 and selling it was ok on bar 42 or latest 55. Reasons to exit was bar 59 if bar 60 would have traded above it but it did not so bar 61 was a decent bull bar and 62 good follow through, had to get out of longs there latest. Could you also go long then? I would not. Too big of a risk that 15m 20ema is resistance and market is trying to test breakout price from bar 48, which it could not even get up to. I also think buying the double bottom 75 + 77 was ok.

2024-11-19 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr dax futures - Neutral. Lower lows and lower highs but a nasty reversal from 18869. The buying was strong but still not good enough for the bulls to take control again. Bears are showing decent selling pressure but getting nowhere. I do think market wants to test higher tomorrow. 19250 is the first target, followed by 19300 and 19350. If 19200 turned resistance and bulls show weakness again, bears might do a real one and get to 18500. There is absolutely no more support until 18500 for the bulls. comment: tl;dr covered most of it. We closed in the middle of the current range, which is as neutral as it gets. I still favor the bulls but I was also wrong about the two previous sell offs and new lows, so maybe take my bias lightly. Market is in balance around 19150 and we have clear support and resistance for a week, despite the marginally lower lows. 18900 - 19330 is the range, play it until we have a 1h close above or below. current market cycle: trading range key levels: 18800 - 19700 bull case: Bulls need some follow through badly. 19250 and then 19300. If they break above 19360 tomorrow, we print 300 points higher. Invalidation is below 19100. bear case: Below 19100 bears take control again and I think the market can only do one thing so many times until one side gives up big time. If bears manage to print another low below 18869, we go down hard to 18500 or lower. Bears want to keep this below 19200. Invalidation is above 19350. short term: Neutral. Max bullish above 19360 and max bearish below 18860. 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 trade of the day: Shorting the open due to news was amazing. Also buying 18900. Both trades were mostly momentum based but we also had a quadruple top to sell and a double bottom to buy. Hope you took at least one of them.

2024-11-18 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr dax futures - 19350 was my line in the sand for bulls to conquer and high of the day was 19359. Bulls doing their best to make 19150 support again and if it holds a third time tomorrow, we could see 19400 if bulls move above 19350 with some force. No interest in selling this. Play the range 19150 - 19350 until it’s broken. comment : Not a bullish close but bulls kept it above 19150 and that’s the breakout price and very important to hold. Below 19140 I expect 19000 again. Only objective for the bulls is to move with force above 19350 so we can melt higher to 19600+. No interest in selling this. Otherwise not much to write about on a sideways day, so have a look at my weekly outlook. current market cycle: trading range key levels: 18900 - 19700 bull case: 200 point range which will likely break tomorrow and I do think the upside breakout is more likely than to the downside. Bears now tried 4 times to get below 19150 and they could not do it again. Bulls are defending their spike from Thursday and that means higher prices are likely. Invalidation is below 19140. bear case: Bears failed 4 times at 19150 now. They will probably give up soon and will try again around 19500. If they break below the current range, a retest of 19000 is most likely. Can’t see this going below 19000 again for now. Invalidation is above 19350. short term: Neutral inside given range but any long below 19200 is reasonable. I lean bullish to break above 19350 and print a new ath this week. 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 trade of the day: Shorting previous resistance 19350 was good for 200 points.

2024-11-14 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr dax futures - 19300 was the first target and bulls could not get above, since overall markets were very weak today. 19600 is still my target for tomorrow, if we stay above 19200. If US bulls do not want to reverse hard tomorrow and we have an overall weak market again, dax will likely close the week around 19100 or below. comment : Bulls listened and we got the huge reversal up. Measured move up target is 19600 and then there is no reason why we can’t make a new ath. Tomorrow is Friday and Opex, so we will likely see a huge move. Bias is still full bull, 1h 20ema should be support. Below 19200 bears will likely take control again and we can close the week below 19100 or around 19000, which would be bearish going into next week. current market cycle: trading range key levels: 18900 - 19700 bull case: Said the most in my comment. Watch if market holds it above the 1h ema and 19250ish. Also keep an eye on the other big indexes, if they are all weak again tomorrow, dax will likely not close the week above 19300. Invalidation is below 19200. bear case: Bears gave up early today, which was expected after today’s strong reversal from 18905. Will bears fight this at 19300? I can only see this happening if most markets are weak tomorrow. The leg up was very strong to expect a second one and the measured move up is 19600. Bears can not hold short if this goes above 19400 and the buying will accelerate then. Invalidation is above 19400. short term: Bull if we stay above 19200/19250 or 1h 20ema - target 19600 or higher. If all markets are weak, we could close the week below 19000 but I can’t see this for now. 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.

2024-11-13 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr dax futures - Bullish. 95 points below huge support is something. I banged my head against that wall today. Still think the bullish read is good, since market reversed for 200 points from the lows. Bear trend line needs to be broken and then we will likely see 19600 tomorrow or Friday. Below 18900 we flush down to 18500. There is no more support for the bulls and they either get a huge reversal day tomorrow or we will crash down and likely won’t trade above 19000 for a long time. comment: Market had it’s spike below 19000 and is now free to squeeze late bears. First target is 19300 and I think we can print 19600 this week. If it drops below 18980 again, I am wrong and we are most likely on our way to 18500, followed by 18300. Tomorrow is bulls last chance to keep it at the highs or the head & shoulders triggers and measured move down is 18300ish. current market cycle: trading range key levels: 18900 - 19700 bull case: Bulls need a break above the bear trend line and are then free to melt up and squeeze late bears. I don’t think they can let the market dip below 19000 again or they risk a flush down. Confirmation for the bulls is above 19200. Invalidation is below 18900. bear case: Bears outdid themselves with a 95 dip below huge support. They want to stay inside the nested bear wedges and continue down. They should keep it below 19130 or the market turns neutral again. Invalidation is above 19200. short term: Last try to be a bull. Stop is 18900 but I will only go long if I see big buying pressure tomorrow. Below 18900 this bull show is over. 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.

2024-11-12 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr dax futures - Bullish. Any long near 19000 is a very good trade until we clearly break below 19000. Market is in a clear trading range 19000 - 19648. Maybe bears will retest 19000 tomorrow but it could also just continue to move up from US close. Only a daily close below 19000 would change things. BTFD. comment: Daily chart continues to show alternating bull/bear bars and getting bearish around 19000 can only go wrong. If bears manage to continue below 19000 and close there, that would certainly change things big time but for now it’s a clear range, so play it. current market cycle: trading range key levels: 19000 - 19700 bull case: Bulls need to trap late bears and a bull trend during the asian session would help big time. Targets above are 1h 20ema at 19240 and then trying to break above the bear trend line. 50% retracement is around 19300 and this is the magnet we are oscillating around. Any long near 19000 is reasonable. Weekly 20ema for futures is 19100 and market could not close below it. Weekly on xetra is 18850, can we get there? Possible but for now I don’t think it’s more likely than a reversal up. Invalidation is below 19000 (maybe give it 30-50 points of room). bear case: Bears have going for them that they keep it below 19600 and the rejections are strong. On the weekly chart we now have made lower lows for 4 consecutive weeks but what do the bears accomplish? Bulls buy every dip and despite 4 bear weeks, we have gone nowhere. Until bears trap bulls with big selling below 19000, this will not change and we continue sideways. Bears need to keep this below 19250 to keep the momentum going. Above 19250 I heavily favor the bulls for 19300 and ignore the bear trend line and just move higher again. Invalidation is above 19300. short term: Bullish as long as we stay above 19000. Target above is 19600 and 20000 if bulls get freaky again. 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.

2024-11-11 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr dax futures - Neutral. Bulls need a strong move above 19600 for higher prices and bears a 1h bar close below 19500. Leaning very slightly bullish because overall market environment. On the daily chart the market is printing alternating bull/bear bars so your guess is as good as mine when this will end. For now it’s best to scalp and fade the extremes. dax futures comment : Slightly bullish bias was right and market just want higher since Globex open. 19600 was rejected as it was last week but at least bulls made higher lows and higher highs again. 19500 is a tough spot for a trade as of now. If bulls can keep it above that price, that would bring much higher prices in play. If we close a 1h bar below, we likely test down to 19350 or lower. current market cycle: trading range key levels: 19000 - 19700 bull case: Bulls had a decent day but inside prior range and they got rejected at previous resistance. Buying above 19500 was not profitable so far and that did not change today. Best for bulls would be to make 19500 support and poke 19620 enough times until bears give up. It’s currently in a week channel upwards or a trending trading range or whatever you want to call it, it does not matter because you trade them the same. Invalidation is below 19000. bear case: Bears need a 1h bar close below 19500 or more bulls will join the buying above 19500. The rejection from 19600 was reasonable strong but in an overall maximum bullish environment, this market will have a hard time going down. If we look at the last 3 bears legs down, they get weaker and I do think many bears will give up, if bulls try to push through 19600 with force. Another way to look at this from the daily tf is that bears prevented the bulls from a daily close above 19500 for 2 weeks now. This can only continue so much until bulls give up. Both sides have reasonable arguments and this is almost always the case in trading ranges. Invalidation is above 19800. short term: Neutral. Bulls need a strong move above 19600 for higher prices and bears a 1h bar close below 19500. Leaning very slightly bullish because overall market environment. 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 trade of the day: Any long before EU open with stop 19250 was reasonable and then after the move above 19500 it was tough. At that point 19600 was very likely but stop was very far away for a limited upside. The sell off from 19620 down to 19450 was much stronger than I expected.

2024-11-07 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr dax futures - Neutral. Bullish read was perfect and good for 300+ points. Now the air gets thinner again. Above 19500 longs are probably not a good trade since the downside is sub 19100 and upside probably limited to 19700 max. If market holds above the 1h 20ema tomorrow, I’ll try longs but if now, we could see some profit taking again. comment : Hope you took the amazing longs today. Now it’s very tough to be a bull above 19500. We have big rejections from 19500 and 19600 on Wednesday and we have to assume that these prices continue to be resistance. If you want to buy this you would have to risk down to 19080 to make maybe 100 points. Not a good trade. I would rather try to scalp for 10-20 points than coming up with good trades from 19500. I will look for longs near the 30m or 1h 20ema, if they show to be support. No shorts until US starts the selling too. current market cycle: trading range key levels: 18900 - 19700 bull case: Bulls want to retest 19650 and then also the ath at 19802. No reason to not get there because we have multiple measured move targets or patterns that lead there or higher. 20000 is still possible, if we get follow through buying tomorrow. If you are thinking “this can’t go higher, the german economy is a dumpster fire and all news are beyond bad blablabla” I got bad news for you. This has nothing to do with any logical reason to trade near the ath. Everyone who wanted to short this because of logical reasons already has and market is moving where the least resistance is. Call it a pain trade if you will. We have 2 years of negative GDP print and dax is going for 20000. Stop looking for reasons why markets are doing stuff. Senseless waste of time and energy. Invalidation is below 19000. bear case: Bears want to keep 19500-19650 resistance to prevent more bulls to join for 19800 or 20000. I would not look for shorts to be honest. US markets are unstoppable and you would try to short during a euphoric wave. I do think below 19400 more bulls would cover again and we can trade to 19100 again but I would only join them on strong momentum but I still favor the bulls to print 20000 rather than bears selling this down below 19200 again. Invalidation is above 19700. short term: Neutral. Leaning slightly bullish if we just continue higher and we have a clear support with the 30m or 1h 20ema. 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: Took most off on 19500, leaving runner for 20000. trade of the day: I called the long and long it was.

2024-11-06 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr dax futures - 1 daily bar to almost engulf 2 months of price action. The rejection above 19600 was strong enough to expect that the highs are in but I am not convinced. I highly doubt dax will be flat or lower while wallstreet is doing an early Santa rally on coke. I am much more bullish and expect 19000 to hold. Decent 1h bear bar that closes below 19000 can convince me to turn bear. comment: Tough to ponder what to make of big up on US markets while dax sold off hard to get below 19100 again. I do think 19000 is huge support and bulls are favored but 6 consecutive daily bar closes below the ema is pretty bearish. Will continue to look for longs around 19100 until 19000 is clearly broken and we go down. current market cycle: trading range key levels: 18900 - 19700 bull case: Bulls got above 19600 which was an amazingly fast up move but the sell off was even better. Bulls have still no reason not to buy this around 19100. It has been profitable for a month now and given price action on the other markets, I am having a very hard time to be bearish. Bulls need to get above 19300 for more bears to cover and then they can try to go 19500 or higher again. Most outrageous target of 20000 is still on the table. Invalidation is below 19000. bear case : Bears see the perfect head & shoulders pattern on the daily chart. Also the huge rejection above 19600 and the 6 consecutive closes below the daily ema. Bears have all the arguments on their side to try and break below 19000. Is the current market environment good for them? I don’t know. It’s not that often that major western indices converge that much but let’s see tomorrow. Measured move down brings us to 18300. Make no mistake, I absolutely, 100% expect that price to be hit again this year. This rally is nothing but coke fueled euphoria based on hopes and dreams the next US government will wave a magic wand and fulfill wallstreet’s dreams. Invalidation is above 19700. short term: Bullish as long as 19000 holds. I think we can print 20000 before this corrects big time. Below 19000 I am wrong. 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: If 19000 holds tomorrow, will do a swing long and hope for a homerun to 20000. trade of the day: Wild swings in both directions. Globex was obviously as bullish as it gets but changing to full bear mode on EU open and hold to 19100 was tough.
