Dax closed with 30 declining stocks measured from close and 30 declining measured from open. Averagely there are about 4 similar cases during year. Statistically this hasn't been very good sign for the next day. There is 86% chance (average -1.86%) that we close lower than 6784. 6.3.2012 we closed only 0,57% higher, so if the day will be up, the potential is limited. Yesterday's trading signals suggested to short FRE and FME, because usually high beta stocks lead up if we will see strong rebound.
Dax hourly chart looks bullish with DMIs at the extreme levels, RSI and MACD going to point up.
However, in a longer perspective Volume Index has dropped more aggressively than the prices...
...and here you can see how the prices behave when Volume Index has fresh 20 day low.
Investor risk appetite has been dropping since the middle of March.
Stocks have broken their 50 day moving average quite quickly.
20 day performance still seems surprisingly positive, but it is expected to change.
Dax cycle is going down. Would it finish the down cycle this time?
McClellan Summation Index is also in a downtrend.
Dax RSI indicator indicates that the index has had stronger downside momentum than the actual stocks. According to my studies, we could have a tradable market bottom for longer term swing traders within a month.
Dax should have upper target near 6870-6880, but it would be great opportunity to add some short positions. The downside target could be 6750, and pessimistic target 6658.
