DAX Index Price Forecast December 12, 2017, Technical Analysis

The German index gapped higher at the open on Friday, went much higher, and then pulled back to fill that gap again on Monday.

The German index gapped higher at the open on Friday, reaching as high as the €13,250 level before turning around. By turning around, the market filled the gap on Monday, and it now looks as if the DAX is ready to go higher. A break above towards the €13,250 level should send this market to much higher levels, perhaps adding to the longer-term uptrend. I think that the €13,000 level underneath is the “floor”, and I think that the market will stay above there. If we were to break down below the €13,000 level, the market will come undone. I doubt that’s going to happen though, so having said that it’s likely that the buyers will continue to come back to this market, perhaps reaching towards the €15,000 level longer term. That is my longer-term target, but there is going to be a lot of noise between now and then, offering plenty of buying opportunities repeatedly. I think that the short-term traders will continue to favor the upside, and of course will continue to take advantage of what has been such a strong move.

I think that longer-term buy-and-hold traders will probably struggle a bit though, because I would anticipate a lot of noise and volatility. I don’t think that we are going to get to the €15,000 level quickly, and it will take a long time to get there. Ultimately, if the market were to suddenly get impulsive to the upside, it’s likely that the pullback will be just as vicious. This is a market that continues to be one of my favorites, but I also recognize that there is a significant amount of danger.
