“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.Shortby Sal983320

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.

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 MACRO SET UPS MACRO-TRADING (WEEKLY) GER40 SETUP Overall Context Long-Term Trend & Technicals: The weekly trend remains positive, with price generally trading above major moving averages (e.g., 50-, 100-, 200-week). Technical indicators such as trend strength and momentum suggest sustained bullishness, though extended rallies can encounter profit-taking. Institutional & Macro Backdrop: Institutional leverage is elevated, reflecting strong engagement in risk assets. A late-cycle expansion globally, paired with moderating inflation, has thus far supported equities. Europe’s slower growth compared to the U.S. is a point of caution, but overall liquidity remains ample. Policy Environment: Major central banks have signaled a tilt toward easing, which may keep downward pressure on short-term rates. This backdrop, combined with a relatively stable yield environment, can bolster equity valuations if economic data remains supportive. A. PRIMARY (BIAS-ALIGNED) SETUP Rationale Builds on the established weekly uptrend, indicating that longer-term market participants view pullbacks as potential buying opportunities. Macro factors—including declining inflation and generally accommodative monetary policies—sustain the underlying bullish case. Execution Parameters Entry Triggers: A weekly close above a prior swing high, typically around 22,800–23,000, confirming continued bullish momentum. Alternatively, a buy-on-dip approach if price retraces to a major weekly support zone (e.g., 19,700–20,000) and subsequently forms a bullish reversal pattern. Stop-Loss Placement: Beneath ~19,500 on a weekly closing basis, providing a buffer under a key weekly order block or major moving averages. This helps avoid getting whipsawed by normal market fluctuations. Take-Profit Levels: First Target: Around 23,850, reflecting a higher extension based on weekly chart projections. Second Target (Optional): Approximately 25,000, should bullish momentum continue and the market enter a more extended rally phase. Risk Management: Adopt smaller position sizes befitting multi-week holds, limiting exposure to 1–2% of total capital. Consider adding to positions (pyramiding) if price breaks into new highs and retests them successfully as support. Supporting Factors Institutional Trend Following: Large funds typically hold positions for weeks to months, providing steadier upward pressure if the macro environment remains favorable. Policy & Liquidity Tailwinds: Continued central bank easing and ample liquidity help sustain the higher timeframe uptrend, making deep corrections less likely unless a major shift in sentiment occurs. B. ALTERNATE (CONTRARY) SETUP Rationale Activated if the weekly structure convincingly breaks down—such as a decisive weekly close below 19,700, suggesting a reversal in long-term trend dynamics or a deeper correction. Could be driven by negative macro catalysts: a sudden rise in inflation, aggressive policy changes, or a significant geopolitical escalation. Execution Parameters Entry Trigger: A weekly candle closes well below ~19,700, then fails to regain that level on a retest (now acting as resistance). Stop-Loss Placement: Above ~20,000, invalidating the short if price recovers into the prior trading range. Take-Profit Levels: First Target: Around 18,000, tied to a historically significant weekly support area. Second Target (Optional): Near 17,000, if downside momentum strengthens and the market transitions into a sustained bearish phase. Risk Management: Keep total risk around 1–2% on this position. Remain prepared to exit swiftly if a false breakdown occurs and the market reclaims the broken support. Supporting Factors Macro Disruptions: A destabilizing shift—like a policy surprise, economic recession signals, or a global risk-off event—can rapidly deflate bullish sentiment. Institutional Unwinding: High leverage can exacerbate selling if funds de-risk en masse following a weekly close below major supports. KEY RISK MANAGEMENT NOTES Longer Holding Periods: Macro trades often span multiple weeks or months; ensure margin use and stops accommodate potentially large swings. Major Catalysts: Central bank statements, systemic geopolitical events, and global economic indicators can create sizable weekly gaps, requiring wider protective stops. Scaling & Exit Strategy: Consider partial profit-taking at the first target to lock in gains. For the remainder, a trailing stop can help capture further upside while limiting downside risk. CONCLUSION The macro (weekly-focused) GER40 setup outlines a primary bullish scenario aligned with a long-standing uptrend, as well as a clearly defined alternate plan should key support levels give way. By combining strategic entries near crucial technical zones with thorough risk management, macro traders can position themselves to capture major market trends while staying alert to potential regime shifts that could trigger a sustained decline.Longby EliteMarketAnalysis223
GER40 Medium Term Setups Medium-Term (Daily) GER40 – Analysis & Signals --- Market & Institutional Context Macro: Easing inflation and accommodative liquidity conditions continue to support equity markets. Europe’s slower growth vs. the U.S. means the GER40 can be more sensitive to negative local data. Institutional & Derivatives: Overall supportive flow, but hedging remains elevated. This environment can still present favorable swing opportunities, provided key supports hold. --- Primary (Bullish) Swing Setup Technical Rationale The daily chart shows higher highs and higher lows, sustained above major moving averages. Institutional sentiment, paired with macro tailwinds, suggests buying dips into established support levels or breakouts above recent swing highs. Entry Points Breakout Entry: A daily close above ~22,800 confirms continued bullish momentum. Pullback Entry: Bullish reversal signals off 21,700–21,900—a known demand zone/order block. Stop-Loss Beneath 21,700 to allow room below key daily support and avoid minor noise/whipsaws. Targets First Target (TP1): 23,200–23,300 (short-term extension) Second Target (TP2): 23,850, if bullish momentum persists Risk Management Risk 1–2% of account capital. Consider partial profit at TP1, move stops to breakeven on remaining position. --- Alternate (Bearish) Swing Setup Technical Rationale Engages if the GER40 breaks its bullish structure on the daily timeframe. Negative economic data or unexpected shifts in sentiment can accelerate selling if key supports give way. Entry Trigger A decisive daily close under ~21,700, followed by a failed retest of that zone (now acting as resistance). Stop-Loss Above 22,000, invalidating the short if price re-enters the previous range. Targets First Target (TP1): Around 21,000 Second Target (TP2): ~20,500 if downside momentum accelerates Risk Management 1–2% risk allocation. Scale out partial positions at TP1, tighten stops if the market recovers above broken support. --- Additional Risk Notes Overnight Events: Swing trades often span multiple days/weeks. Stay mindful of economic data releases, central bank decisions, and geopolitical news—any of which could create gaps. Institutional Hedging: Elevated put-buying may exacerbate downside once pivotal levels break. Trail & Scale: When price moves favorably, partial profit-taking and trailing stops can lock in gains while letting profits run. --- Disclaimer This analysis is for educational purposes and not financial advice.

GER40 SHORT TERM SETUP. GER40 Overview & Signals Market & Institutional Context Macro Environment: Moderately bullish, supported by easing inflation and accommodative policy trends. Europe’s growth is slower than the U.S., but risk appetite remains high overall. Institutional Positioning: Balanced but leaning bullish, with dealers net long gamma (helping reduce extreme volatility). Put-buying is present, indicating hedging activity—important to watch if price breaches key supports. Liquidity & Volatility: Ample liquidity generally, though leverage is elevated. That can enhance directional moves when key levels break. --- Primary (Bullish) Short-Term Setup Technical Bias The 1H/4H charts show higher highs and higher lows. Institutional sentiment backs a near-term bullish structure unless it invalidates key support. Trade Entry Signal: Look for a decisive 1H close above the 22,600–22,620 order block, then a break above ~22,800 on solid volume/confirmation. Stop-Loss Place stops just below 22,400, protecting against minor intraday pullbacks while keeping risk contained. Targets TP1: 22,950–23,000 (round number + minor Fib extension) TP2 (if momentum persists): 23,100–23,200 Risk Management Risk 1–2% of account size. Consider partial profit at TP1 and trail stops to breakeven or slightly in profit for any remaining position. Why It Works Macro Tailwind: Improving global risk appetite, stable short-term funding, and supportive derivatives flows. Reduced Volatility Spikes: Net long gamma positioning typically dampens extreme selloffs. --- Alternate (Bearish) Short-Term Setup Technical Bias Activated if the bullish structure fails, signaling a momentum shift on any negative catalyst (economic data miss, geopolitical risk, etc.). Trade Entry Signal: A solid 1H candle close below 22,400, followed by a retest that fails to reclaim 22,500. Stop-Loss Above 22,600 to invalidate a short if buyers push price back into the previous range. Targets TP1: ~22,200 (recent volume support) TP2 (if downward momentum accelerates): ~21,900 Risk Management Keep risk at 1–2%. Take partial profit at TP1, tighten stops on the remainder. Why It Works Institutional Hedging: Elevated put-buying can exacerbate a down-move if key supports fail. Macro Risks: European data disappointments or risk-off catalysts could drive a near-term pullback. --- Final Notes on Execution Event Catalysts: Watch central bank commentary, inflation data, and geopolitical news flow, as any surprises may shift sentiment swiftly. Partial Profits & Trailing Stops: Always consider scaling out at the first target to lock in gains, then let the remainder ride if momentum remains strong. Position Sizing: Align trade size with stop distance and overall volatility. Elevated leverage means bigger moves when technical levels break. --- Disclaimer: These insights reflect an analysis of short-term market conditions and are not financial advice.

Ger40 I see this markets bullish rally ending and entering a needed correction to weekly sellside Level. Shortby DgenJoe_0076
#202507 - priceactiontds - weekly update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well. comment: Last week my bearish take was wrong again and market moved closer to 23000 than below 22000. Until bears start closing gaps below and breaking bull trend lines, this is still max bullish, no matter the valuations. Still hard to buy the highs, given that we are trading either above or at the high of all of the ones you can draw. We are also far away from the daily 20ema and markets always come back to them. For now it’s useless to look for shorts because bears are not doing anything to have a decent trade setup for shorts. Bulls buy every dip and make money, so join them until it stops working. Trade small. current market cycle: Bull trend (very climactic move last weeks, market needs to take a breather but it doesn’t) key levels: 21800 - 23000 bull case: Not much difference to last week, other that we are 700 points higher. Bulls buy it all because it continues to be profitable. Clear bull trend line around 21800 and if we get there, we can expect heavy buying to happen but I highly doubt we get there in the first place. Upper target is 23000. I expect a sideways correction much more than one to the downside. Longs closer to 22000 are better than ones closer to 22600, obviously. Invalidation is below 21800. bear case: A decent pull-back is overdue but that does not make it happen tomorrow. Bears need to start by closing the gap down to 22150 and testing the bull trend line. For now we can’t expect them to get much more than that. It’s likely that we only see the beginning of more profit taking, once we stop making daily new ath and market stops finding buyers buying new highs. Hasn’t happened yet, so don’t spend too much time looking to short this. Daily close below 22000 would be a huge surprise to me and then we can talk lower targets. Invalidation is above 23000. short term: Neutral until we have a daily close below 22000. Can only look for longs until we clearly stop making daily new ath and see bigger selling pressure. 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: Burned the last shorts. Only long scalps for me as of now. chart update: Just highlighted current bull trend lines.by priceactiontds2
DAX overbought rally to new ATH, The Week Ahead 17th Feb 25The Dax (DE40) index price action sentiment appears bullish, supported by the longer term prevailing uptrend. The key trading level is at 21703, which is 07th Feb swing low. A corrective pullback from the current levels and a bullish bounce back from the 21703 level could target the upside resistance at 22000 followed by 22096 and 22200 over the longer timeframe. Alternatively, a confirmed loss of 21703 support and a daily close below that level could trigger a further retracement and a retest of 21600 support level followed by 21400 and 21240.

GER40-SELL strategy Daily chartThe market always carries away, and this one is by means an exception. We are trading way beyond the KC top 21,800 and away from mid-range 20,800 area. The RSI is overbought and extreme. I have no changes in view, and overtime see potential returning back towards 20,800. Strategy SELL @ 22,350-22,650 and take profit near 21,117 for now.

Markets Relieved After Tariff DelayThe week’s closing session unfolded under the expectation of potential “reciprocal tariffs” from the United States, which ultimately will not be implemented immediately. This decision eased initial market jitters and led to a weaker dollar, as fears of an escalating trade war subsided—for now. The U.S. outlook was also shaped by weaker-than-expected consumption data: January retail sales fell 0.9%, significantly below estimates, suggesting a weaker household spending impulse. At the same time, industrial production exceeded expectations with a 0.5% increase, but manufacturing within that indicator declined by 0.1%. These mixed data, coupled with the tariff delay, put downward pressure on the dollar, which lost much of the ground it had gained in previous weeks. The effects of this softening U.S. currency were felt across several emerging markets. The Mexican peso posted notable gains, while the Chilean peso advanced up to 0.7% at its peak. In the stock market, signals regarding U.S. consumption and caution over potential tariffs translated into volatile trading on Wall Street, where the S&P 500 remained flat after mixed sector performances. Energy and financials held relatively firm, while consumer staples declined amid a more cautious investor outlook. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq 100 logged another week of gains, driven by strong tech earnings. Europe maintained its recent positive trend, though some of its major indices—such as the DAX and Euro Stoxx 50—showed overbought signals (RSI above 70). In the most recent session, moderate profit-taking was observed in the DAX, while the French CAC 40 managed to hold its gains, supported by strong luxury sector earnings and other better-than-expected corporate results. Investors also remained in wait-and-see mode regarding potential U.S. trade measures impacting the region and the European Central Bank's monetary policy outlook. In Asia, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index stood out with a more than 2% daily gain and over 6% for the week. Investors reacted optimistically to the prospect of the People’s Bank of China implementing new monetary stimulus to reinforce economic recovery. Additionally, strong demand for tech and consumer stocks helped fuel the rally. The commodities market showed divergent movements. On one hand, oil prices remained in a tight range, with WTI hovering around $71 after a brief rally that was capped by the prospect of a diplomatic agreement that could ease energy sector sanctions. In contrast, natural gas surged nearly 9% over the week, reflecting seasonal volatility and some unexpected demand factors. In metals, gold retreated from record highs but remained above $2,900 per ounce. Looking ahead, market attention will be focused on potential concrete announcements regarding the White House’s reciprocal tariffs. This will help shape the market outlook, which for now appears cautiously optimistic following developments in trade tensions but remains closely monitoring key macroeconomic indicators and potential shifts in U.S. trade policy.

DAX (DE40) INTRADAY consolidation supported at 22220The DAX (DE40) intraday price action sentiment appears bullish, supported by the longer-term prevailing uptrend. However, since the spike to intraday all time high at 22620 on 13th January 2025, the DAX price action is consolidating sideways, potentially indicating the overbought condition. The key trading level is at the 22220 level, which is the 61.8% Fib retracement from 12 Feb ’25 swing low. A corrective pullback from the current levels and a bullish bounce back from the 22220 level could target the upside resistance at 22480 followed by the 22620 and 22700 levels over the longer timeframe. Alternatively, a confirmed loss of the 22220 support and a daily close below that level would negate the bullish outlook opening the way for a further retracement and a retest of 22154 support level followed by 22000 and 21800.

GER40:Effects of Vice President Vance at the Paris SummitIntervention at the Paris Summit During the recent Paris Summit, Vice President Vance highlighted the importance of international cooperation to address global challenges. In his remarks, he stressed the need for a more flexible regulatory approach that drives technological innovation and strengthens international security. His message focused on fostering dialogue and coordination among nations, which was interpreted as a stimulus for stability on the global stage and, therefore, for financial markets. The key message was that, in a booming market, deregulation-when applied in a balanced way-can be an engine of innovation and growth. It is about reducing bureaucratic barriers to allow companies to adapt and expand more nimbly, boosting competitiveness without sacrificing stability in areas such as artificial intelligence, data privacy and economic stability. The idea of encouraging deregulation in a burgeoning market does not run counter to the vision of the summit's organizer, the French president, who is more inclined to advocate stricter regulation in key sectors such as technology and the digital economy. France, like other European Union members, has expressed a concern about the potential dangers of a lack of regulation in emerging markets, fearing that excessive deregulation could lead to harmful practices, especially in areas such as artificial intelligence, data privacy and economic stability. “You shouldn't over-regulate in markets in full economic bloom” and adding to what Vance mentioned there is a popular saying, ”Regulation Kills Innovation. Developments in the German market Shortly after the summit, a positive response was seen in the German market. The selective DAX 40 index advanced by 2.09 % and exceeded 22,600 points, reaching 22,612.02 points and marking a high for the fourth consecutive day. This growth is attributed both to the expectations generated by a possible negotiated resolution of international conflicts and to internal market factors, which were reflected in the performance of key sectors such as industry and technology. Likewise, other indices, such as the MDAX and TecDAX, showed increases, evidencing an environment of optimism among investors. Impact on Investor Confidence and Future Prospects The communication of stability and cooperation in the international arena, reinforced by Vance's intervention, has helped to strengthen investor confidence. The positive performance of the DAX 40 acts as a barometer of this sentiment, suggesting that both international policy and domestic performance can drive sustained growth. Looking ahead, it is expected that the follow-up of these events and the consolidation of international agreements will continue to favorably influence the stock market environment, allowing for balanced and sustained growth. Key news for the DAX today Euro-denominated economic indicators - especially GDP growth, inflation and employment - have the most potential to affect Germany and thus the DAX, as they reflect the health of the European economy and condition monetary policy, which directly influences investor confidence and the performance of the German stock market. Technical analysis Since Wednesday, February 5, there has been a “golden crossover” of averages that has been expanding over the past two weeks until today. Since the opening of the Asian trading day, the RSI has remained relatively overbought at 60.74%. The control point is around 21,525 points, well below the high of 22,816.91 points. The last strong support is at 21,950 points and the next support of the last impulse is at 22,315 points, being the middle zone of the current bullish channel. As the current price is at 22,525 points, we will have to see during this Friday's trading day if the week ends with a retest of the highs. If they resist we could have a partially sideways start of next week and if it surprises, we could see a new development in the direction of 22,800 points. Conclusion Vice President Vance's speech at the Paris Summit has marked a milestone in the perception of global stability, reflecting directly on the performance of the German market. The remarkable rise of the DAX 40 and the positive response of other indices underline the interrelationship between international politics and economics. In a context of global uncertainty, the synergy between these two spheres stands as a crucial factor in maintaining and boosting investor confidence in the European market. ******************************************************************************************* The information provided does not constitute investment research.
