09-08-2018 Dax Technical Analysis

Good morning traders. It was my birthday yesterday, so I was not at the screens, hence the lack of an article. But my strategies were still active, my algos were still switched on, so trades were still made. Today, the head is sore, but life goes on. I spent the day yesterday rock climbing, outdoors (top rope), learning how to ascend various sandstone routes. Then it was down to the beach for food, drinks and two birthday cakes. Thank you all for the birthday messages. Let’s get back to work.

The trade dispute between the US and China remains the biggest threat. However, the reporting season is picking up speed. Deutsche Telekom, Adidas, Merck and Thyssenkrupp present their interim results.

The biggest winners in the Dax yesterday included the securities of the chip producer Infineon (+ 1.16%) and the software group SAP (+ 1.00%). The technology sector was one of Europe’s most sought-after sectors by midweek. The papers of the German post office tied on the index tip with plus 1.37 per cent to their before-day profits.  The reinsurer Munich Re and the utility E.On were in focus. The Munich Group could not convince the investors with the numbers and displeasure among the investors was caused by larger than expected major losses. E.On’s balance sheet did not perform well – despite a jump in profits in the operating business – and the share price fell.

Look at the DAX futures market for yesterday, we opened at 12,642, closed at 12,603, with a range of 122 points (high: 12,700 and ow: 12,578). The two hour IB (opening range) was 12,608-12,652. The volume value area was 12,604-12,648 and this morning we open at 12,620. The rest of the key levels are below.

As for CFD, the 50 SMA 12,630 is still below the 200 SMA 12,758.
