Good Evening and I hope you are well.

What a time to be alive. Panic selling and now panic buying. Many markets are close to completely reversing the move from last week and Monday. For bulls to just slice through the bear trend line and every technical resistance there was, is something you will not see often on a daily chart. You can’t be anything but max bullish, since every small dip is bought. Until that stops and no one knows when, you have to look for longs.
tl;dr
Indexes - As mentioned above. Look for longs until we start making lower lows again and breaking 1h 20ema. SP500 made almost 9% in 8 days. If you are nerdy, go find other examples of something like that happening, after a equal move down before. Truly astonishing.
dax futures
comment: Bears lost and bulls got a give up bar today. Complete meltup and can’t be anything but max bullish going into tomorrow. So far dax respect no resistance and you can’t expect it to start tomorrow. Everything can happen, so a reversal is never out of the question but it’s not the probable thing for tomorrow. Obvious target above is now the August high at 18633.
current market cycle: bear flag inside the bear trend (very very low chance this is still that) - more likely we are in a giant trading range 17000 - 19000. We know once we break above 18400
key levels: 17000 - 19000
bull case: Market was going nowhere but the data release at 2:30 pm CET did the trick and we just melted higher until market transitioned into a trading range. No selling pressure anywhere. Bulls want a measured move up to 18500 or higher. 1h 20ema should not be hit or market should not have any close below it.
Invalidation is below 18200.
bear case: Bears gave up today, which most likely means that we get follow through tomorrow and go big green into the weekend. I can’t see bears coming around at 18300. More likely they try 18500 or 18600 but it’s a rough guess. Just do not look for shorts.
Invalidation is above 18700.
short term: max bullish for 18500 or higher.
medium-long term: 17000/17100 was my target for at least 3 months now and bears got it. We are in a correction since we dropped more than 10% from the ath. Many long term trader buy a 5%, 10%, … dip and a bounce here was expected. I do think we are in a bear trend which will most likely lead down to 15600 or 15000 over the next months but we can only be more certain, once this pullback is done and we make new lows below 17000 and have a channel from which we can calculate new targets. I called the highs in early July and there is a decent chance we will not see them for a long time.
Update: Will update this on the weekend. If we stay below 18700, small chance it could still be valid but if we go above, it’s just one giant trading range for longer.
current swing trade: None.
trade of the day: Buying 18000 was good.
