Dax - Looking to Short on Pullbacks!US equities slid and sovereign bonds surged as investors
feared President Trump's shock move to slap tariffs on
Mexico risked tipping the United States, and maybe the
whole world, into recession.
The risk-off move has been strong during Asia and we
like Dax shorts as a way to play this theme into Europe.
Today, since we already pushed through the target,
we like shorts on pullbacks into the pullback zone.

Dax - Continuation Breakouts Probable on Risk-Off!US equities slid and sovereign bonds surged as investors feared President Trump's shock move to slap tariffs on Mexico risked tipping the United States, and maybe the whole world, into recession. We like the odds of selling Dax this morning on a continuation break, in line with the risk-off sentiment.
Dax - Uptrend Resumed, Continuation Breaks Favoured!The US/China trade debate has calmed for the time being. The US may scale back Huawei curbs, delayed the decision on foreign auto tariffs and exempted Canada and Mexico from steel/aluminum tariffs.
For the moment, Dax is our favoured index. It is pushing higher with momentum and we favour continuation breakouts.

Today’s session hypothesis
Today, we expect buyers to continue in the correction with the first target laying at 12 190 and then 12 455 in the following days. The probability of closing the gap is not any high today, but the market structure of the recent days signifies the initial short. We could find some buyers at the support level of 11 964 which we could use as a bounce area to enter into a long position targeting 12 195. Sellers have a possible level of interest around the 12 139 zone.
Dax Daily: 13th of May 2019Welcome to a new trading week. After the initial chop on Friday, the price descended towards the support level at 12036, which was well respected on the first attempt. During the second retest, the level was slightly broken. Following was the entry of buyers who took the price all the way to retest the resistance of 12 194 where Dax closed the week. Over the weekend, we open with a really significant gap.
