Will it hold, retest 9300 or 8300......we shall see.

Dax at support still

Dax sitting above median line between annual pivot at 9953 and R1 at 11552. Plenty of testing banked already above 10752 now on the 4hr chart, and RSi burning overbought conditions with price action in neutral. Could push on towards R1 if this support holds. Click text for chart.

Dax review 18/10/2015

Last weekend's notes cover all points. 50% retracement line of last year's low to this year's high is at 10390 with the yearly mid pivot at 10752 (Pivot was 9953 backtested last week and R1 is 11552). If back test holds then those are my next two target points above.

Dax Review 3/10/2015

This monthly chart shows the wave counts assumed to be in play. Whether this is wave 4 done, concluding, or if something more complicated pushing out to the right over the next few months (triangle) is to come, is perhaps the bigger picture question. Certainly the SMi setting being used, suggests we have only seen a single wave down thus far, comprised of an 'abc' through the weekly lens (see chart 3).

The second monthly chart here focuses on the RSi study, which I posted during the week and clearly warns of a test of this down draft at the very least. Ignore the rest of the chart, which is meant for lower time frames. The previous RSi cycles at this degree, set off higher highs; whether this one will remains to be seen, but downside seems limited without a reset of some sort.


In this weekly chart, the annual pivots and their mid lines are in show. Breaching last year's low of 8354 will require price to push past the 78.6% retracement of the move out of that low and with the annual pivot at 9953, the current wave count assumed down from the top, the monthly RSi study in the last chart, and the weekly SMi study in this, chasing the downside may be painful for shorters who hang around too long. With three weekly candles attacking and holding above the 78.6% retracement at 9234 and the annual mid pivot of 9525, these aforementioned studies provide a platform for a test of the annual pivot at 9953, and then the higher 10752 and 11552 pivots initially.

The daily wave formation is of course bearish still, but those positive divergences in the RSi have me watching the lower order waves.

The two hour wave held firm on Friday with an interesting bounce out of daily S1 after the US announcements. Further ferreting of lower prices may still test this bullish wave, either compounding the positive divergences, or collapsing the wave. For now, looking to buy drops whilst the formation holds and keep an eye on the impact on the daily wave. Expect volatility to continue either way.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dax 29/9/2015

Lots of doom and gloom out there: monthly RSi looks eerily similar to previous drops.

Dax: 200smas

Ongoing wave 4 appears to be retracing with market asking if the drops are over yet.

200sma from monthly to 30min chart duration marked up in this 2hr chart. The cluster between 10906 & 11155 are just above the 61.8% retracement of this move down, which I have at 10850. A move above 10467 that holds, might see a test of that higher zone. Interesting place to hunt for shorts down to test that low and the weekly 200sma a little closer! 

Dax Weekly Chart

Showing two counts here: blue wave 4 over on monthly chart and 'c' of red 'b' due. Either way, looking long whilst yesterday's low holds. That 10900 area had plenty of attention of late without failure

This daily chart looks at the count closer. This could support either of the above options with the blue 4 being the red 'a' in the weekly. The trend line test looks like a 'c' wave is possible here at minimum and whilst that trend line holds, going to follow it up.

Dax Review 19th July 2015



Monthly & Weekly charts:
Given placement of monthly stochastics and
continued negative direction of weeklys', I am staying
 with this count until the 4hr, below, softens



Daily & 4 hr charts:
Perhaps an expanding triangle in a 'B' wave or maybe
 a new trend up as started. I'll sell down that 4hr stochastic
and see where it lands.

Time for a little relief? Clouds on Daily chart on left and 4hr chart on right suggest that approx. 11200 might be a good place to consider selling again...until then, might look for a lift up, given suspenders working into bolly band lows on daily and positive divergence into the prior low.

Dax Review 5th July 2015

Not a lot to add to my last counts; hardly had to move the legends. Looking for move down to breakout zone from combination bollingers near 10,000. Economic and political woes not seemingly having any impact on the overall counts. Check back in posts to see how bullish move after this drop should usher in a new high before a larger degree wave 4.

Dax Review 19th June 2016

Monthly & Weekly charts: assuming that this move down to 10500 zone is just a 'a' leg in blue wave 4. May turn into a triangle rather than this simpler pattern, but looking to buy 10400-10600 in a longer term uptrend, that does not look under any stress from this move back to the break out zone on the daily below

Daily chart shows the breakout zone being tested a little lower down and no signs of the pitchfork being broken to the upside as yet. Selling this lower into the buy zone and adding to that commitment on break up.

Dax review 17th May 2015

 
 Persistence of that weekly stochastic rolling down and the continued range bound price action suggests the blue Wave 4 may in fact be in play already. The negative divergence on the monthly chart, supports the red wave 5 being in already, although the lower order counts below look like another upside test is due.

The daily stochs look in need of upside relief and the 4hrly suggest this may have already begun late last week. I am looking for a move up to complete a red wave 'b' at about 12000 and then a move down to test that break out zone discussed in previous posts at around 10,000, unless something more complex starts to build. We will see how the weekly stochs look when that area is reached or become oversold earlier. Looks like we have a triangle in the middle of the red wave 'b' for now, so could be a slow start to the week.

Dax Review 10th May 2015

 The UK election results coincided with oversold stochastics on the 4hr chart and although the trend bands are still negative on that timescale, the 60 minute time frame and lower provided plenty of opportunities to go long on Friday. However, with overbought stochs on those timeframes and the 4hr trend band still downhill, a retest of that prior low may provide an opportunity to buy again or at the very least provide clarity on the strength of this move uphill.

Working right to left on the higher timeframes, we can see that the 8hr & daily stochs also appeared oversold, but again with downward facing trend bands. So at this level, the move up on Friday is either part of a retracement or the start of something bigger, in line with my red wave 5 count from last week into blue wave 3 top. If the pull back in the 4hr can hold the low and see the trend bands turn up, an oversold stochastics on the hourly chart after 3 waves down, could be a great place to go long with a secure low to play off. However, the positioning of those weekly and monthly stochastics, have me believing that the blue wave 3 top will see a decent pull back in due course, so new highs will see rigid stop losses! See previous posts for EW counts.

 

Dax Review 3rd May 2015

I have combined the daily & 4hr charts this morning; not a lot of change from my ongoing storyboard or the EW counts on the larger timeframes. The red dashed line at 10250-10500 in the daily highlights the break out zone from the Bollinger cluster and the over bought stochastics have eased somewhat and now showing 3 waves down. The 4hr stochs are looking oversold and the 2SD bollys there sit at 12050.

The monthly & weekly charts show price still traversing the upper boundaries of the green pitchfork within the upper side of the blue, although those weekly stochs look prescient - perhaps read my last post from Armstrong for that October 2015 focus!! I am counting this move off the top as a lower order wave 4 inside the red wave 5 of a blue larger wave 3; so anticipate a new high before a larger correction down, in due course into blue wave 4. The pace of the move still has me believing this is corrective, but as yet, it still looks like it is reaching down albeit in the latter stages, if the 4hr stochastics are anything to go by. If Armstrong's view that all governments are following ECM holds, this ride into the top could continue to be choppy.....for months! We shall see.

Martin Armstrong getting all steamed up before the October peak: The New Age of Economic Totalitarianism & the London Meeting to End Currency

Dax Review 26th April 2015

The long term Elliott Wave Count I am running with, suggests that we are still likely in red wave 5 of blue wave 3. I can not see a lesser degree wave 4 clearly in that red wave 5, so the last week's consolidation could be part of that. Either way, still in blue wave 3 inside green wave 3 and looking for long positions on shorter time frames. Stochastics are of course overbought but can stay that way on a weekly and monthly chart here beyond shorters' pockets.

 
 

The lower band of the daily bollingers (green) was pushed last week, with the overall sidewards pattern, pushing to the right of the multiple bands, appearing similar to the set up before the break out at approx. 10500 zone. The daily stochastics have been softening as hoped for in my post 3 weeks ago, but thus far the momentum continues to suggest a consolidation. I think up first, before down to test that 10500 zone, so looking for longs on intraday chart.

 

The 4hr bollys were also getting tagged to the lower band and unless we see price drop through that zone 11000-11600 zone with any persistent force, I am looking for long positions up to retest the upper band near 12100 first. The stochastics here would support a push up into those upper multiple bands and if that were to complete red wave 5, then into the 13000s would fit the green pitchfork channel from the first chart.

The Fractal Nature of Capital Flows – Government Running Wild

by Martin Armstrong

Dax Review 19th April

Well, the index softened this week, but I do not think we have seen the end of blue Elliott Wave 3 yet. Here are my counts on the monthly & weekly charts:

 

 

Price made it to the lower band of the green bollys on the daily (20x2) below but would expect more rolling up the green dashed pitchfork (above) to tease the early shorters to distraction! Given the monthly count, not much to do but buy weakness but would prefer the daily stochs below to be pointing uphill or get to oversold as per last week's post.
