DAX Intraday

The market yesterday morning broke through above the weekly and daily pivot, which caused my attempts to sell were unsuccessful. A certain weakness was the fact that DAX did not reach resistance R1, so it seems that this jump is just a correction. Today, accompanied by a decline on Wall Street, the DAX descends to support S1 – 12,233 while closing the weekend’s gap. At this point, I decided to take long positions with a goal for a daily pivot.
After 9:00 the index is traded below 12 300 points, therefore it is probable that S2 and monthly pivot will be tested 12 170 points. In turn, keeping the gap and returning to the direction point would be an incentive to overcome the yesterday’s peaks.
