Thoughts on DAX structure around 18k
Been watching the DAX fairly closely since it pulled back from those highs. It really seems to be trying to find some footing around the 18,000-18,050 zone. I'm seeing a bit of a coil developing on the daily, potentially a flag or a very shallow descending triangle, which often precedes another leg up if it can clear the recent resistance around 18,300. The risk, for me, would be a clean break below 17,900. If that happens, it feels like we could see a quick retest of the 17,600 area, which was pretty solid support on the last dip.
I'm seeing that coil too, but I'm wary of calling it a flag just yet given the broader market sentiment. Could easily resolve lower if 18k doesn't hold firm.
