Eurostoxx is showing signs of breaking downLast week I was cautiously optimistic that the EuroStoxx would move higher to 3500, and possibly break from there to complete the mini (inverted) head and shoulders that can be identified since the 30th October 2017. However this week's action adds to a more bearish, alternative path.
The blue support zone is a loosely defined price range of significance; this area has repeatedly acted as a support over the last 12 months. Since the January 2018 correction, all subsequent rallies from this range have failed. The index is now for the sixth time in this blue support zone. Moving averages, RSI and price are all negatively aligned.
Today's price movement is also completing a head and shoulders pattern that has developed since January 2017.
Euro Stoxx 50 - Daily - Could still capture a bit of the upsideTrade Alert
We could still catch a bit of that uprise, especially if the index moves above its recent highs of 3436.5. The move could open the path towards the 3460 level initially and then maybe testing the long-term downside resistance line, taken from the highest point of January. This is where the price could stall for a while.
On the downside, a break below the 3405 zone, could set the stage for a possible drop down towards the 3350 area, which acted as good support on the 15th of August.
Always have your SL in place.
Potential SX5E Short-Term Buy Opportunity
Tested support of around 3275 points. RSI at oversold level. Possible retracement from current downtrend up to fib level of 0.236 with the target level being around 3350 points. More confirmation required but represents a potential buying opportunity in the short term.
Short Euro Stoxx 50 - Downside volitility!See confluence of 50MA (h4) , previously inflected horiz resistance & 50% retracement.
I have went short here at yesterdays open. SL placed just above market high. This will moved once I see a reaction to the downside further improving my R:R on the trade. I always place my SL's at the point where my opinion is proved wrong. If a new high is printed here then my opinion of a downside confutation is incorrect.
My target will be a retest of the local market low. We can see there is volatility to the downside here (swift moved to the downside last week followed by a weak upside move.
Zooming out to a macro view - there is a case for a larger H&S forming.
EURO STOXX in the same boat as the DAXAlmost identical setup on the EURO STOXX as on the DAX. Big short setup, first set up in a potential new bearish trend. The pattern was triggered by a nice big selloff candle, indicating strong bearish momentum. Will it continue? On balance of probability it should. Either way, I wouldnt want to hold any stake in EURO STOXX 50 or DAX at this time.
Trade safe. Trade smart.
