Dax & Dow

[Caseynotes]

more from China, now offering to buy extra 10 Bln worth of US goods to ease trade war.

[EdwardP]

Yep, so said Bloomberg

[Caseynotes]

Dax and Dow continue the climb back up, Dow resting at R1 with chart resistance ahead at 26364 and 26423.

Dow has chart resistance and R1 overhead at 12131.

Dax tags R2 after a brief pause at R1 while Dow heads on to R1 after pushing through yesterday's high.

[Guest T19]

I am net short and pessimistic on DOW. In my opinion, this rally should be seen as an opportunity to short DOW .

 

[Caseynotes]

Dow checking support, may find it at 26761. Dax following.

Could turn out that way but difficult to know with any degree of certainty how the trade talks will pan out, seems to be real progress this time round. Retail have been increasingly short all week as price has continued to rise.

[Caseynotes]

Dow pauses at R1 and Dax settles mid way between R1 and R2. Both looking for further continuation to the up side.

Dax and Dow spiking up.

Dax perched on the pivot and looking higher, Dow in a similar position. A push up on the European open this morning but may see a check of support on the London open before attempt to check yesterday's highs.

Dax moving up to test yesterday's highs, Dow powers up to the pivot, if Dow can break the pivot Dax should see R1

Dow bulls trying to secure the pivot while Dax also struggling to make headway.

Half the Dow 30 companies are reporting earnings this week including Boeing, Cat and Microsoft on Wednesday. 

Adding the weekly calendar here, see below.

[Caseynotes]

Dow checking support on the open having tagged R1 early morning while Dax keen to get on with it.

If support is found above the pivot will be expecting a retest of R1 for Dow  and a rally to R1 for Dax.

[Caseynotes]

Dax motors on up to R1 with a brief pause at the pivot while Dow saunters up from S1. Dax has run into yesterday's resistance so likely to wait here and watch Dow.

H1 charts;

[Caseynotes]

First a miss from Cat and then a slight beat from Boeing though with a reduced production outlook sees Dow down then climbing back up from S2.

[Caseynotes]

Dax on a bit of a round trip taking off to visit R1 then back down to resistance turned support 12817 after a slight miss on the Ger PMIs. Should steady now and wait for Draghi's last ECB rate decision and presser, not likely to drop a bomb for Lagarde who doesn't mind a bit of QE herself. 

[Caseynotes]

Both Dax and Dow have pushed strongly up off the Pivot so R1 is the initial target though we often see a check of support on the London open. A break below the Pivot changes the targets to S1.

[Caseynotes]

Dax and Dow nudging resistance coming up to the London open, will often check support initially before attempting to push higher.

Weekly charts below and it's been a strong month for Dax as Dow keeps looking for an excuse to break the high.

The big day is Wednesday with the FOMC rate decision and Apple and FB earnings report. 

H1 and weekly charts;

[Caseynotes]

Dow starting out atop the pivot while Dax just below, the overall trend remains bullish but as ever may see an initial probe to confirm support before an attempt to test resistance.

[Caseynotes]

Dax pushing up to the pivot on the European open, Dow holding just below the pivot. Likely to be fairly lite while waiting for the big drivers (FOMC and Earnings) this evening. If we see a Dow capture of the pivot could see follow up and an attempt at yesterday's high around R1 but a check of support to see how firm the base is seems more likely.

H1 charts;

[Caseynotes]

Both starting above the pivot, may check support before testing higher. With US earnings good and the rate cut out of the way, the ADP nfp a beat bodes well for tomorrows NFP and US GDP a beat at 1.9% would expect continuation higher.

Donald Trump obviously not happy with yesterday's Fed decision as 'trade worries resurface' today ....

It was China expressing doubt that a trade deal would ever be reached with Trump in the White House and that they want all tariffs removed before new talks but that won't happen, US economy is doing well while China's production figure continue down.

DAX looks like it is going in for a pullback.

[dmedin]

Nasty wee pullback this afternoon

[dmedin]

Well ... viewed in the weekly light, it isn't that bad.  Just a bit of indecision between Fibos.

Pullback maybe but what is a pullback, it's profit taking with a countertrend attempt to reverse that peters out. Those three candles don't look like that, maybe some profit taking on the first red but the second pushed down hard and then was bought straight back up and the same on the third. The long wicks and small bodies would indicate to me buyer strength rather than seller strength. So it looks more like profit taking and a buyer pause followed by 2 attempts to reverse both of which ran into strong buying.

[Caseynotes]

Both pushed down on the European open though both remain above the Pivot so if can find support above will be looking for further upside gains. If the bulls lose the pivot then looking to the short side.

Dow tagged it's ATH overnight (= monthly chart resistance level purple) and has since just pulled back slightly, Dax is following. Good news data last week shows the US economy remains strong with mostly good earnings reported as well as emerging markets outlook improving bodes well for Dow, and where the Dow leads others tend to follow.
