Today's Analysis
DAX holding below 14100/000 is obviously negative (with a high for the day here yesterday) and sees a retest of 13780/750. Less chance this will hold on the next test, although it did hold Monday and I am not sure why!! A break lower eventually targets 13650/620 and 13350/300 before an excellent buying opportunity at 13130/100. Longs need stops below 13000.
Shorts at 14100/000 need stops above 14200 for a test as far as resistance at 14320/370. Watch for a high for the day. If we continue higher look for 14500. Further gains can retest 14600/650 before a test of strong resistance at 14750/850. Sell here with stops above 14900.
EuroStoxx longs from 500 day and 100 week moving average support at 3710/3690 offered big profits on the bounce as far as first resistance at 3855/65. Shorts need stops above 3890. A break higher can target 3960/70. Shorts at first resistance at 3855/65 target 3800/3790 before best support again at the 500 day and 100 week moving average at 3710/3690. Longs need stops below 3670. A break lower is an important sell signal targeting strong support at 3590/70. Longs need stops below 3530.
FTSE is certainly erratic and volatile as we carve out what is probably a head & shoulders reversal pattern with 200 day moving average at 7200/7190, plus neck line at 7140/30. Therefore a break below 7120 is an important longer term sell signal. In the meantime we have resistance at 7320/40 and again at 7440/60.
