DAX40 responds boosted by ElectionsBy Ion Jauregui - Analyst ActivTrades The German DAX stock index has experienced a remarkable upward momentum today. The results of the German federal elections have generated optimism in the markets. The strength shown by the CDU/CSU, reaching 28.5% of the vote and positioning Friedrich Merz as a key figure, has reinforced the expectation of a stable, pro-business government. This outcome has been well received by the markets, as greater political and economic stability is anticipated in the country, a fact that has been reflected in the DAX, which has risen more than 0.7% at the start of the day, as investors are confident that a predictable political environment will favor the economy and strategic sectors, such as automotive and technology. At the same time, the euro has reached its highest level in a month, trading at $1.0528 against the dollar. This appreciation of the European currency reflects the renewed confidence in the German economy and the euro zone in general, following the election results. However, despite the initial enthusiasm, there are some challenges ahead. The new coalition government will have to address issues such as economic stagnation and external pressures, including U.S. trade policies. The ability of the new government to implement fiscal and economic reforms will be crucial to maintain market confidence over the long term. In the first hours of trading, the DAX registered an increase of more than 1.54%, reaching 22,584.80 points in the first hours of pre-market trading prior to the opening. This optimism is partly due to the expectation that the CDU/CSU will form a “grand coalition” with the SPD, thus avoiding the participation of extreme right-wing parties such as AfD, which obtained 20.8% of the votes. The possibility of a stable, pro-business government has strengthened investor confidence. The automotive sector has been one of the biggest beneficiaries in this context. Manufacturers such as BMW and Volkswagen have experienced increases in their shares of 2% and 1.6%, respectively. In addition, companies such as Deutsche Bank and SAP have also shown positive returns in the market. Looking at the chart, the support of the last impulse is located at 21,950 points, with the current support at 22,115.26 points. The current high is around 22,945.01 points. Today the mood begins with strength in Europe, so we will have to see if this positivism is transferred to the rest of the day, although it does not seem that in the opening hours the enthusiasm has been maintained. If we look at the value of the current control point is located around 22517 points. RSI is slightly oversold at 44.48%. Relying on last Thursday's checkpoint. The crosses of averages seem to be showing a possible crossing of the 50 and 100 average. If this happens, a price drop to the support zone to test price would be foreseeable. If this does not happen we may see a new test of the current high resistance. In summary, the DAX has reacted positively to the election results in Germany, driven by the prospect of greater political stability and a pro-growth government. However, it will be essential for the new administration to effectively address economic and geopolitical challenges to sustain this momentum going forward. ******************************************************************************************* The information provided does not constitute investment research.

GER40 ULTIMATE GER40 – Week of Feb24th Disclaimer: This document is for educational and informational purposes only and should not be construed as financial advice. Markets carry risk, and past performance does not guarantee future results. Always conduct your own due diligence and consult a licensed financial advisor before making trading decisions. 1. Executive Summary Overall Standing: • Macro Regime (Eurozone): Growth near stagnation (~0–1%), with the ECB recently shifting to a more accommodative stance (marginal rate cut in January). Inflation ~4–5%, still above target but off the peak. Monetary policy is cautiously easing, providing some support for equities. • Institutional Stance: Speculative sentiment remains cautious amid uncertain growth, yet corporate earnings (especially in export sectors) have held up better than feared. Liquidity conditions in Europe are still moderate despite ECB’s ongoing (but slow) QT. • Technical Trend (Weekly/Daily): GER40 is in a structural uptrend, with higher highs/higher lows since 2022. However, short-term charts show a correction from recent highs (~23,000 area). Strategic Bias: • Long-Term: Bullish, as price holds above key weekly/daily supports. • Short-Term: Corrective pullback on 4H/1H charts—watch if support at ~22,000–21,900 holds or breaks. The following sections lay out the macro context, near-term catalysts, and the technical scenarios (both bullish continuation and potential deeper correction). 2. Eurozone Macro & Market Sentiment 2.1 Macroeconomic Overview • Growth: Eurozone GDP growth around 0–1%. Germany in particular has flirted with recession in prior quarters, but data remains mixed. • Monetary Policy: The ECB cut rates 25 bps in January (deposit rate to 3.00%). While slow to shrink its balance sheet, some mild QT is in progress. Overall, policy is turning more supportive compared to last year’s tightening cycle. • Inflation: Eurozone inflation remains sticky at ~4–5%. Energy price relief helped, but core services inflation is still elevated. • Earnings/Valuations: GER40 companies trade at a relative discount compared to U.S. peers. Industrial exporters benefit from a slightly weaker euro but remain sensitive to global demand conditions. • Liquidity & Positioning: • Credit Spreads: Not overly stressed in Europe—no signs of a major corporate credit crunch. • Institutional Flow: Hedge funds remain cautious about Europe, but stable to improving risk sentiment can lead to rotation into cheaper valuations. • Consumer Weakness: Germany’s consumer confidence remains fragile, but not collapsing. Implication A 50/100 macro score for the Eurozone implies a neutral environment: low growth but decent policy support, cheap valuations, and subdued credit risk. From a purely macro lens, GER40 can keep rallying if global sentiment improves or the ECB remains accommodative, but renewed recession fears or higher core inflation can weigh on the index. 2.2 Market Sentiment & Flow • ETF Flows: European equity funds have attracted modest inflows in recent weeks, especially as some investors search for value outside the U.S. • Options: Put/Call ratios remain around 0.7–0.8, indicating no extreme panic or euphoria. • Dark Pool / Margin Debt: Less publicly visible than in the U.S.; no immediate signs of credit or margin stress specifically for DAX. Implication Overall investor mood on Europe is “cautiously constructive,” with a mild shift into undervalued European markets. But growth concerns still linger, so any negative catalyst may spark renewed caution. 3. Economic Calendar (Eurozone & Key Global Events) (Adjust dates for your specific week.) Date Event Likely Impact on GER40 Mon German IFO Business Climate Core gauge of German corporate sentiment. Tue Flash Eurozone PMIs Manufacturing/Services data can shift DAX. Wed ECB Policy Meeting or ECB Speaker Remarks Any signal of further easing/hawkish pivot. Thu US GDP / US data releases (if any) Indirect—large German exporters react to U.S. Fri Eurozone CPI Flash (if scheduled) Key inflation data affecting ECB stance. Additional Catalysts • Geopolitical: Any escalation or resolution in Ukraine tensions, new trade policy moves from the U.S. or China, etc. • Corporate: Major German industrial/auto sector earnings updates could swing the DAX. 4. Technical Overview: GER40 4.1 Higher Timeframe (Weekly & Daily) 1. Trend: • Weekly & daily charts show a clear uptrend since 2022, with higher highs (HH) and higher lows (HL). 2. Moving Averages: • GER40 trades above the 50, 100, and 200 SMAs on both weekly and daily. The 10 SMA on daily is near current price, indicating the index is in a short-term pullback. 3. Momentum Indicators: • Weekly RSI ~70 (slightly overbought but still constructive), daily RSI cooling from ~70 to the 60 range. MACD on daily has a short-term bearish cross but remains above zero. 4. Support Zones (Weekly/Daily): • 21,700–21,900: Key daily support, overlapping a bullish order block, roughly 38–50% Fib from the last major swing. • 21,000–20,800: Deeper daily support near the 61.8% Fib. • Larger weekly support extends into the mid-/upper-19k region if the index had a bigger correction. 5. Resistance Zones: • 22,900–23,000+: Recent swing high region. • Beyond ~23,000, the index is near all-time or multi-year highs, so there is “open air” above. 4.2 Lower Timeframe (4H & 1H) 1. Short-Term Trend: • 4H/1H show a corrective phase: lower highs/lower lows from ~23,000 top. 2. Momentum: • 4H RSI near oversold (~30–35), MACD in negative territory. 1H RSI also oversold, indicating a bounce is possible soon. 3. Immediate Levels: • 22,000–21,950: Intraday support (4H 100 SMA & 61.8% Fib from the swing). • 22,350–22,550: Overhead pivot/resistance from prior breakdown. 4. Key Takeaway: • The short-term structure is downward, but the index is approaching strong support areas where a bounce could occur within the larger uptrend. 5. Price Action & Key Levels Below is a quick-reference table: Zone Type Notes 23,000+ Weekly Resistance Recent swing high, near top of channels & Bollinger on the weekly. 22,400–22,550 4H Resistance Broken support → new overhead pivot. Reclaiming it indicates short-term bulls are back. 22,000–21,950 Key Intraday Support Confluence of 4H 100 SMA, 61.8% Fib, volume node. 21,700–21,900 Major Daily Support Daily bullish OB & 38–50% Fib zone. A daily close below ~21,700 signals deeper correction risk. 21,000–20,800 Deeper Daily Support ~61.8% Fib area. If the pullback extends here, it’s still within a larger uptrend. 6. Core Trade Scenarios 6.1 Bullish Continuation • Context: The bigger picture is bullish. A short-term oversold reading on 4H/1H suggests a potential bounce if key supports hold. • Entry Ideas: 1. Aggressive: • Buy dips near 22,000–21,950 as soon as a 1H/4H bullish pattern appears (hammer, engulfing, RSI hooking up). • Stop: Just below 21,900. • Targets: T1 = 22,400–22,550 pivot, T2 = 22,900–23,000 swing high. 2. Moderate: • Wait for a 4H close above ~22,300, confirming the index is reclaiming lost ground. • Stop: Below the newly formed higher low (e.g., ~21,900). • Targets: T1 = 22,550, T2 = 23,000. 3. Conservative: • Require a daily close back above 22,400–22,500, plus momentum signals (RSI >50, daily MACD hooking up). • Stop: Below the daily support at ~21,700 if giving more room. • Targets: T1 = 23,000, T2 = possible extension if weekly uptrend resumes. • Invalidation: • A decisive daily close below ~21,700–21,600. That suggests a deeper correction could unfold, negating near-term bullish entries. 6.2 Bearish Reversal / Deeper Correction • Context: 4H/1H are in a downtrend. If 22,000 support fails or bounces fail at key pivots, a bigger drop to 21,700–21,600 or even 21,000 is possible. • Entry Ideas: 1. Aggressive: • Short a retest near 22,300–22,400 (broken support → resistance) if price fails with a clear bearish candle. • Stop: Above 22,550. • Targets: 22,000, then 21,700 if momentum continues. 2. Moderate: • Wait for a 4H close below 21,900–21,950. That break confirms the immediate support is lost. • Stop: Above 22,100 or above the breakdown pivot. • Targets: 21,700 T1, 21,000 T2. 3. Conservative: • Require a daily close below 21,700 (key daily fib/demand zone). • Stop: Above 21,900 or the breakout retest. • Targets: 21,000 (61.8% Fib) or lower if the daily trend truly flips. • Invalidation: • A strong intraday or 4H close above ~22,550, with bullish momentum and RSI crossing 50, would undermine a deeper correction thesis. 7. Risk Management & Position Sizing 1. Volatility: GER40 can move ~200–300 points per day (Daily ATR ~270–300). Adjust stop widths/position sizes accordingly. 2. R:R Ratios: Aim for 1:2 or better, especially given Europe’s potential for volatility around data releases. 3. Timeframe Alignment: • If trading in line with the Weekly/Daily uptrend (long dips), you can risk a bit more. If shorting a bounce in a bullish environment, consider smaller size. 4. Partial Profit Strategies: • Take partial profits at T1 (first major S/R), move stop to breakeven, let the remainder run if momentum persists. 8. Tactical Insights & Extra Notes 1. Watch European Economic Releases • Weak PMIs or a negative GDP surprise could accelerate a correction. A positive surprise might catalyze a bounce. 2. ECB Policy Rhetoric • The ECB’s tilt toward easing has been supportive for German equities. If inflation remains sticky, any hawkish shift might hurt the DAX. 3. Correlation with Euro • A weaker euro tends to help Germany’s exporters (autos, industrials). If EUR/USD rallies, it could weigh on the DAX, and vice versa. 4. Sector Performance • The GER40 includes industrial heavyweights, consumer goods, and some financials. Watch leadership from auto or machinery sectors for clues about export demand. 5. Geopolitical Risk • Ongoing tensions in Eastern Europe or new trade disputes can influence German business sentiment quickly. 9. Conclusion & Action Steps The GER40 has enjoyed a robust uptrend but is currently experiencing a short-term pullback from its highs. The macro environment is neutral to slightly supportive, with the ECB no longer aggressively tightening and valuations in Germany more attractive relative to U.S. equities. • Baseline Approach: • Buy-the-dip around 22,000–21,900 if intraday price action confirms a bounce. • Or short on a failed retest of 22,300–22,400 if the short-term downtrend persists. • Key Risk Point: A daily close below ~21,700–21,600 signals a deeper correction. A reclaim above ~22,550 reaffirms bullish continuity. Combine these levels and strategies with disciplined stop-loss placements, mindful position sizing, and real-time news tracking—especially for Eurozone data. By following these guidelines, you’ll be prepared for multiple outcomes in the GER40 during this pivotal phase of its trend. Good luck trading the German DAX (GER40) this week!

#006 Trust The Process DE30EUR Buy 1207SGT 17022025Buying DE30. I am able to buy on Oanda now despite the market being closed now, I think it is because of some market maker privileges on Oanda's side, such as being the one who is taking the orders instead of pushing the orders to the live market. I want to take DE30EUR on FTMO too, but I am not sure if I am able to enter on a Buy Limit or not. I will try. Even if we are taking correlated pairs, ie. EURUSD which I have open positions from last week, and taking DE30EUR now which also has EUR in it, I think I will be ok as long as I keep my stop loss wide so that I would not get whipped out that easily. And also another reason why I think it is ok is, I am not taking the positions together at the same time. Just like investing, you DCA regardless of if the market is your portfolio's favour or not, market highs or lows, etc. Due to this difference in time reason, their fate would be different, and we allow the fate of our positions to play out by giving it a huge enough stop loss. ------------- TLDR; Buying DE30EUR despite us having positions in correlated pair, EURUSD, which we entered on last week. We will be ok even if we take correlated pairs, due to two reasons. 1st - Our stop loss is wide, allowing us to ride the whips and waves and not getting closed out that easily. 2nd - Trade like a DCA investor. We buy when we need to, rather than timing the market. Eventually, our portfolio will work balance itself out. --- Adding on before I post --- We fail or pass doesn't matter, what we need is data. We could take both buy and sell on different accounts and be right one way or another. Even if our original strategy is a losing one, and we lose 70% of the time, we still made 70% on the other account. And, if the winds of change blows in our favour, and our original account suddenly becomes a winning one, then, we make more than we lost. I think that this is where the beauty of funded accounts come into play. But I am not getting one yet. I need to work on myself first. Besides, not all funded accounts providers are good. Stick to the popular ones. But before that, prove to yourself that you are able to balance yourself while standing up straight during the storm on a small boat while holding onto a tray of drinks. It's not that difficult, really. Another thing to add is, people talk alot about techniques, how to time the markets etc. Don't spend too much time on those. Those are poisonous chicken soup(like, chicken soup for the soul, but poisonous). You might be immune to poison, but you won't be thriving unless if you are a nepo kid or trust fund baby or have some unspoken conditions that help you keep your head above the water. For every good to come, there are abundant of unspoken conditions that has to be met. That those who made it won't tell you. Or, they don't even realise. Two persons of similar backgrounds, one succeeding and the other still barely surviving. Don't judge the succeeding one with thoughts like, they are hardworking etc too quickly(it might be true they are hardworking). Neither judge the one who is barely surviving too harshly. Reason being, if the one who is succeeding has all the exact conditions that the barely surviving person has, they would also be stuck at where at the same exact place as the barely surviving one. This fact about unspoken conditions, takes ton of suffering and immersive experiences on a day to day basis for years, decades, centuries and more brew and appreciate. Just like those bone broth sold with boat noodles in Thailand. They just top up the broth, and doesn't wash the gigantic pot. In western "language", its called, Rome isn't build in a single day. 1228SGT 17022025

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

Germany 40: Entering a Period of Big Event RiskIn some ways it was no surprise to see the Germany 40 index fall 1.8% yesterday, which was its biggest drop for well over 2 months. After all it has been quite a rally to start the year and there had to be some profit taking at some stage, surely! The rally has seen multiple record all-time highs hit, supported by an improving earnings backdrop, hopes of a peace deal in Ukraine, delays to the trade tariffs threatened by President Trump and rate cuts from the ECB. However, some uncertainty has started to creep in across this new trading week about the ability of the Germany 40 index to sustain this current uptrend. President Trump has talked about imposing import tariffs of up to 25% on imports of automobiles, semiconductors and pharmaceuticals, which could start in early April, not good news for the German exporters. ECB committee member Schnabel suggested in an interview with the FT, that the ECB will have to discuss taking a break from rate cuts soon, or even consider stopping altogether, which cast some doubt on market expectations for ECB rate cuts across the rest of the year, while the cost of peace in Ukraine also doesn’t look as positive for European nations as it potentially did only a week ago. Oh, and there is an election in Germany over the weekend, which while initially supporting gains in the Germany 40 index at the start of 2025 on optimism the country may loosen its strict borrowing rules, has now reached a reality check moment, given that election outcomes rarely run smoothly. For a deeper dive into the potential market impacts of the upcoming election, check out our 2025 German Federal Election Preview. For a deeper dive into the potential market impacts of the upcoming election, check out our 2025 German Federal Election Preview. So, with this in mind, accompanied by the preliminary February PMI survey updates tomorrow for Germany (0830 GMT) and Eurozone (0900 GMT), event risk and the potential for volatility moving into to next week is elevated. Looking at the Technical Picture. After what has been an extended phase of price strength during February, the German 40 index finally saw a correction develop on Wednesday, as a possible reaction to over-extended upside price conditions materialised. However, we all know, prices never move in straight lines, be it to the up or downside. It could even be argued that this weakness within an uptrend, is a healthy correction that unwinds upside extremes before further price strength emerges, and that may be the case for the Germany 40, as long as important support levels remains intact. So, is this latest weakness a normal limited reaction to over-extended upside conditions, or has an important high been posted at 22936 on February 19th, from which an extended phase of price weakness may develop? Currently, this is an impossible question to answer with anything more than a low conviction outlook but monitoring the key support levels moving forward may help us to establish the next directional themes. What are the German 40 Index Support Levels to Monitor? If the sell off was to extend further to the downside then it may be worthwhile for traders to watch how well Fibonacci retracement levels of the February advance perform as support levels. The 38.2% retracement stands at 22236, which could mark an area where buyers materialise again. However, this point giving way may in turn lead to a continuation of recent weakness towards 22020, which is the deeper 50% retracement. Closing defence of 22020 could be watched, as while intact, it’s possible further attempts to extend positive themes may be on the cards, which could even lead to retests of the 22936 February 19th all-time.

DAX 1 hour time frame ! Ascending Channel has been developed DAX Index – 1H Chart Analysis (Feb 20, 2025) 1. Trend & Market Structure The DAX is trading inside a strong ascending channel, indicating a well-defined bullish trend. The price recently tested the lower boundary of the channel, which has acted as dynamic support throughout the rally. There is a bullish reaction forming at this trendline support, suggesting potential continuation to the upside. 2. Key Levels to Watch Support: 22,250 - 22,500 → Trendline support & potential bounce zone. 21,750 - 22,000 → Strong demand area if breakdown occurs. Resistance: 22,750 - 23,000 → Upper boundary of the channel, first profit target. 23,200+ → Possible breakout if momentum strengthens. 3. RSI & Momentum Analysis The RSI is at 42, indicating slight bearish momentum but still above the oversold zone. Historically, RSI bounces from similar levels within this channel, making this a potential buying opportunity if bullish confirmation follows. A cross above 50 on RSI would confirm renewed bullish strength. 4. Potential Trade Scenarios 📈 Bullish Scenario (Bounce from Support) If the price holds the 22,500 trendline, a move toward 22,750 - 23,000 is expected. A breakout above 23,000 could lead to a rally towards new highs. 📉 Bearish Scenario (Break Below the Channel) A breakdown below 22,250 would weaken the bullish structure and open the door for a move toward 21,750 - 22,000. A sustained move below 21,750 would confirm a trend reversal. 5. Conclusion & Trade Plan Bullish Bias: As long as the price stays inside the channel, dips are buying opportunities. Entry Zone: 22,500 - 22,600 (If support holds). Target: 22,750 - 23,000 (Take profit inside the channel). Stop-Loss: Below 22,250 (Invalidation of trend).

DAX Stock Index PlungesDAX Stock Index Plunges As we noted six days ago, European stock markets were showing optimism amid expectations that the armed conflict in Ukraine—now approaching its third year—would be resolved. During this period, the DAX 40 (Germany 40 mini on FXOpen) gained approximately 1.6%, setting a historic record. However, sentiment appears to be shifting in the opposite direction. According to the Germany 40 mini chart on FXOpen, the German stock index DAX 40 experienced a sharp decline yesterday, losing around 2%. This drop is partly driven by Trump's latest tariff statements. According to Trading Economics: → The US President is considering imposing new 25% tariffs on automobile, semiconductor, and pharmaceutical imports, with an official announcement expected in early April. → Market sentiment deteriorated after ECB Executive Board member Isabel Schnabel tempered expectations of a more expansionary monetary policy. Technical Analysis of the DAX 40 (Germany 40 mini on FXOpen) Since the start of 2025, the index has been following an upward trend (illustrated by the blue channel), which remains intact. However, yesterday’s aggressive drop pushed the price into the lower half of the channel, indicating increased bearish activity. If negative sentiment persists, the price could decline further—potentially testing the lower boundary of the channel. The 22,200 level appears to be a significant support zone, as bulls demonstrated strength here less than 10 days ago (as indicated by the blue arrows): → The price formed a long lower wick when testing the psychological 22k mark. → It then surged into the upper half of the channel with a strong bullish candle. Conversely, the 22,730 level has flipped from support to resistance (marked by orange arrows), signalling the presence of bearish pressure. Trade on TradingView with FXOpen.

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... By Fawad Razaqzada, market analyst with FOREX.com
