DAX Intraday
The new week starts with a slight strengthening, but the situation is still in the Friday’s range. A positive element is maintaining above the Pivot point, which is at 11,935 points. A permanent exit above the price from the Friday fixing will help to expand the rebound to at least 12,000 points and further 12,040. The first local support only in the area of 11,885 points (S1).
DAX Longterm
Looking more broadly at the graph, after a few days of a solid sell of in the market, there is a stop in the form of a spool on the increased volume of retreat. Such a candle appears in close proximity to the external abolition of 127.2% of the July upward correction; it is at level 11 870, which is also the “D” point of the harmonic formation. Therefore, it is probable that the level of 12 120 will be reached in September.
