DAX Index October-December 2016 Forecast: ranging inside Ichimoku cloud waiting for direction of the trend

W1 price was on the local uptrend as a bear market rally within the primary bearish market condition: the price came to the Ichimoku cloud from below andSenkou Span line of Ichimoku indicator was tested from inside the cloud to above for the bullish reversal to be started. But the price was finally bounced from Senkou Span back to the Ichimoku cloud for the ranging bearish market condition. For now, the price is located near and below Senkou Span and 10,803 resistance level for the bullish reversal to be started or for the ranging bearish trend to be continuing.

Chinkou Span line is located above the price indicating the ranging condition, and Absolute Strength indicator is estimating the trend to be ranging as well in the future. By the way, Tenkan-sen line is above Kijun-sen line for the possible bullish reversal in the near future for example.


  • If the price breaks 10,803 resistance level on close weekly bar to above so the reversal of the price movement from the ranging bearish to the primary bullish market condition will be started.
  • If weekly price breaks 9,746 support level on close bar to below so the bearish trend will be resumed with 9,497 nearest bearish weekly target.
  • If not so the price will be on bearish ranging within the levels inside Ichimoku cloud.

Intra-Day Fundamentals - EUR/USD and DAX Index: Fed Chair Yellen Speaks at the Federal Reserve Bank

2016-10-14 17:30 GMT | [USD - Fed Chair Yellen Speaks]

[USD - Fed Chair Yellen Speaks] = Speech named "Macroeconomic Research After the Crisis" at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston’s Annual Research Conference.

==========

From Bloomberg article: Yellen Sees ‘Plausible Ways’ Hot Economy Could Heal Growth

  • "Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said there are “plausible ways” that running the U.S. economy hot for a while could fix some of the damage caused to growth trends by the Great Recession."
  • "Increased business sales would almost certainly raise the productive capacity of the economy by encouraging additional capital spending,” Yellen said Friday in the text of a speech to a Boston Fed conference on the elusive economic recovery. “A tight labor market might draw in potential workers who would otherwise sit on the sidelines."
  • "Yellen pondered whether a “high-pressure economy” could reverse some of the damage done in the recession, including declines in research spending and labor force participation. In effect, that has been the Federal Open Market Committee’s bet this year, though Yellen cautioned that running a low-rate policy for too long “could have costs that exceed the benefits” by increasing financial risk or inflation."

Dax Index: Bullish breakout (adapted from the article)

Daily price is on bullish breakout with 10,815 resistance level to be tested for the bullish trend to be continuing.

  • Chinkou Span line of Ichimoku indicator is located above the price for the bullish breakout to be continuing in the near future.
  • Absolute Strength indicator is estimating the trend as the bullish to be continuing. 
  • "In the short-term, even if new year highs can’t be maintained there will still likely be support around 10700, which is also where the cross-through trend-line off the June lows lies. The trend-line off the June lows was broken on a couple of occasions, and while it passes through a lot of price action the market has still responded to it in recent weeks, so we will continue to view it with some importance."
  • "Ahead at 10860 lies the swing high created on Dec 29, and beyond there we will have to look to 11k (psychological level) and a top-side trend-line (~11050) spanning over the April and August peaks."


If the daily price breaks 10,815 resistance to above on close daily bar so the bullish trend will be continuing.
If the daily price breaks 10,336 support level to below on close bar so the bearish reversal will be started.
If not so the price will be on bullish ranging within the levels.

DAX Index: Short-Term Levels for direction of the trend (adapted from the article)

H1 price is located within 100 SMA/200 SMA ranging levels in the bullish area of the chart to be above 200 SMA levels.

  • "In this choppy trading environment, turning views into money has proven difficult for the swing-trader; it’s been like this for several months now. But for traders who operate on time-frames of a couple of days or less (day-traders) there are still levels and technical developments which we can operate off of."
  • "Dropping down to the hourly chart: A steady set of parallels (channel) is forming off the 10/25 highs. This keeps the immediate picture turned lower with lower highs and lower lows in place. The market needs to overcome the top-side parallel and Friday high at 10716 before any sort of upward momentum can potentially kick in. Beyond there we will look to 10773 and the year at 10827."
  • "Continued trade below the upper parallel keeps the bias pointed lower to neutral at best, and could bring into play the Friday low at 10583 and a trend-line extending back to the 9/30 Deutsche Bank-induced swing low."


If the price breaks 10,707 resistance level on close hourly bar to above so the primary bullish trend will be resumed with 10,720/10,749 bullish targets.
If H1 price breaks 10,635 support level on close bar to below so the reversal of the price movement from the ranging bullish to the primary bearish market condition will be started with 10,581 target.
If not so the price will be on bullish ranging within the levels.

German DAX - from bear market rally to the bullish reversal irrespective off the analytics forecasts (adapted from the article)

Some analytics are forecasting for Dax Index to be in bearish market condition with 10,000 strong support level as a nearest bearish target for the price to be bounced to above:

"DAX is turning strongly to the downside from a new high, so we believe that index is trapped in a new corrective pattern; a very complex one that can either be an Elliott Wave flat or an Elliott Wave triangle. As things stands at the moment, we favor the flat that is pointing down for wave five of C which could then form a bottom at 10000-10100 area."


But, anyway, the intra-day H4 price was bounced from 10,195 support level to above for the breakout as a bear market rally. For now, the price is testing 10,583 resistance level to above for the bullish reversal to be started.


Daily price broke 100-day SMA/200-day SMA reversal area to above to be reversed to the primary bullish market condition. The price is breaking 50.0% Fibo level at 10,509 to above for the primary bullish trend to be continuing.
