DAX 40 price forecast: How to trade the German index in the current market environment


Recommended Posts

With the war, threat of recession and hawkish European Central Bank, we look at how to trade Germany’s benchmark index, the DAX 40, in current conditions.

DAX 40: what the moving averages are suggesting

The price of the DAX 40 continues to trade below the 200 day simple moving average (SMA) - the blue line - suggesting that the longer term trend bias remains down for the time being.

The price has, however, been whipsawing back and forth through the 20- and 50-day SMAs (red and green lines on the chart, respectively).

While the price trades below these moving averages (a negative signal), the 20-MA trades above the 50-MA (a positive signal).

These are conflicting signals suggestive that the short- to medium-term trend for the index is sideways at present, rather than truly directional.

DAX 40 – price action

The DAX 40 has broken below support at 14300. The downside break now sees 13850 and 13690 respectively as lower support target considerations.

In line with our short- to medium-term trend assumptions from the moving averages, we think that the price is now in a broad consolidation between levels 13300 (support) and 14820 (resistance).

For a reversal of the longer term downtrend, we need to see the price breaking above the 14820 resistance level (confirming this move with a close above).

A break below 13300 would suggest that the longer term downtrend is continuing, although the major low at 12360 would need to be broken for a technical affirmation of this.

How to trade the DAX 40

Our preference for the DAX has moved towards range trading over the short- to medium-term.

We are looking to enter long or short positions on reversals off levels within the broader 13300 to 14820 range, exiting trades to limits on levels within this range as well.

We are not looking at trend following and riding out winners whilst this market is within a broad consolidation (at least while trading on a daily timeframe chart).

Only if we see a break of major support at 13300 or major resistance at 14820 would we reconsider looking at trend following systems on the daily timeframe once again

    • Cardano (ADA) has been a hot topic among crypto enthusiasts, especially with predictions that it could hit $10 in the next bull run. Let’s take a closer look at the numbers, the current market situation, and what experts are saying about ADA’s future potential. Current Cardano (ADA) Price and Market Performance Current Price: Cardano ADA is currently priced at $0.33 per Coinpedia Markets. 24-Hour Performance: In the last 24 hours, ADA has dropped by 5.30%, with a trading volume of $314,728,694. Weekly Growth: Despite the recent dip, ADA has spiked over 5% in the past week. Price Targets and Key Levels Experts believe Cardano has the potential for a significant rally. Here’s a breakdown of the key levels to watch: Immediate Resistance: ADA needs to break above the $0.3458 resistance level for any upward momentum. Short-Term Target: If ADA can push through $0.3458, it could rally past the $0.50 mark. Bullish Potential: Price action experts say ADA could even reach $1.50 before November if the momentum continues. Long-Term Target: Looking ahead, some believe ADA could hit $10 during the next major bull run. What’s Fueling This Optimism? The Cardano ecosystem has been buzzing with activity. One recent development that could drive ADA’s growth is the launch of a highly anticipated decentralized application (dApp) called Snake.Fun. This dApp is expected to boost the Cardano network’s usage, leading to higher trading volumes for ADA. Analysts from the DeFi sector are optimistic, stating that if Cardano maintains its current growth trajectory, the $10 price target could be achievable in the long term. The Market Share Debate: Has Cardano Bottomed Out? Rick McCracken, a key figure in the Cardano community, recently sparked a debate by asking his followers about ADA’s market share dominance. Here’s what we know: ADA’s Market Share: For the last two months (since July), Cardano’s market share has stabilized at 0.6%. Community Opinions: Some community members believe ADA has bottomed out, signaling a potential rebound. Others are more cautious, suggesting that ADA needs to grow and retest the 0.77% level to confirm a bottom. Despite the mixed opinions, there’s a sense of cautious optimism among ADA holders. Even Rick McCracken himself believes that the next bull market could change the game for Cardano. What’s Next for Cardano? The future looks promising, but ADA still has some hurdles to clear. Breaking above the $0.3458 resistance level is key for any sustained upward movement. If that happens, a rally toward $1.50 could be on the horizon before the year ends. However, the real question remains: Can Cardano (ADA) reach $10 in the next bull run? While the answer isn’t set in stone, the current growth within the ecosystem, along with the market’s cautious optimism, suggests that it’s a possibility worth considering. Conclusion: Is $10 Achievable? The journey to $10 won’t be easy, but it’s not out of the question. If Cardano can break through key resistance levels and continue to grow its ecosystem, the next bull run could push ADA to new heights. For now, keep an eye on the charts and watch for signs of a breakout above $0.3458—if that happens, Cardano’s rally could just be getting started.
