What happened yesterday

The Germany 30 Index (proxy for the DAX futures) has broken below the 9680 short-term pivotal support due to weaker than expected earnings results from European banks particularly Deutsche Bank.

Our short-term bullish technical view (1 to 3 days) has been put on hold/invalidated after yesterday’s price action but near in mind that the medium-term (1 to 3 weeks) view of an expected mean reversion / “snap-back” rally remains intact as the Index remains above the 9300 medium-term pivotal support (click here for more details on our current weekly outlook/strategy).

Key elements

  • Despite yesterday decline of 2.9% (one of the worst performer among major indices), the daily (medium-term) RSI oscillator is still holding above its trendline support which suggests that the medium-term upside momentum remains intact (see daily chart).
  • On the shorter-term, the Index has broken below the ascending channel’s lower boundary that has linked the higher lows since 21 January 2016 now turns pull-back resistance at 9770.
  • The next significant short-term support rests at 9560 which is defined by the minor swing low of 26 January 2016 @4pm and a Fibonacci cluster which yesterday’s decline has managed to stall and did a rebound above it.

Key levels (1 to 3 days)

Pivot (key support): 9560

Resistance:  9770, 9880/9935 & 10165/280

Next support: 9300 (medium-term pivot)

Conclusion

9560 will be the short-term pivotal support but only a break above 9770 is likely to revive the potential short-term bullish force to retest 9880/9935 before targeting the 10165/280 significant resistance zone (our medium-term expected upside target).

However, a break below 9560 is likely to negate the bullish tone for a further slide towards the 9300 medium-term pivotal support.
