Key elements
- The Index has accelerated and now evolves within a short-term term ascending channel (in orange) in place since 15 January 2015. The upper limit of this ascending channel stands at 10625/10740.
- The 10625/10740 resistance also coincides with a Fibonacci projection cluster.
- The 34-period Moving Average is coming to support the Index at 10385 which also confluences with the 50% Fibonacci retracement from 22 January 2015 low to its current high.
- The Stochastic oscillator has dipped into the oversold region.
Key levels
Pivot (key support): 10385
Resistance: 10550/10580 & 10625/10740
Next support: 10250
Conclusion
The short-term bullish trend in place since 15 January 2015 low remains intact for the German 30 Index (proxy for the DAX). As long as the daily pivotal support at 10385 holds, the Index is likely to stage a potential push up towards 10550/10580 before 10625/10740.
*A point of caution is that we are likely in the final stage of this short-term bullish trend based on the fractal approach (Elliot Wave) and we may start to see a setback (wave 4) below 10625/10740.
On the other hand, failure to hold above 10385 may invalidate the “push up scenario” to see a slide towards the next support at 10250 (also the lower limit of the short-term ascending channel).
