DAX Index falls initially on Monday only to show signs of support

The German index pulled back a bit during the trading session on Monday at the open, reaching down towards the €12,500 level, before bouncing to show signs of strength. The German index has been in an uptrend for some time, and that should continue to be the case going forward.

The German index pulled back a little bit during the trading session on Monday but found enough support near the psychologically important €12,500 level, if not structural support based upon the previous resistance. Now that we have bounced a bit, I think that the market should continue to go towards the €12,600 level, perhaps even higher than that, perhaps the €12,750 level. I think that the €12,500 a will continue to offer support, and I think that support extends down to at least the €12,000 level.

As you can see, we formed a significant base in the market close to the €11,800 level, and that of course is an area that has formed a bit of a “floor” in the market and the overall long-term uptrend. Now that we have done that, we have started to grind it very gently and in a steady manner to the upside. That is a good sign and I think that the market should continue to go higher based upon what we have seen as of late. When we pull back, it is value and I think that people will continue to look at it as such. I believe that we will go looking towards the €13,000 level, and then eventually to my longer-term target of €15,000 – but that might be a story for next year. Nonetheless, I do like the DAX, and I believe that buying continues to be the best way to approach it.
