Dax and Hindenburg Omen
Dax had a first warning called Hindenburg Omen when the conditions were met 20.4.2012. One signal may not be much yet for a reason to sell stocks, but we need to watch the situation carefully.
Negative McClellan Oscillator
Dax indicators 27.4.2012
In addition to pure technical view, all of the indicators point to higher high.
20 day highs vs. lows pointing up.
Intermediate Dax cycles pointing up.
Dax volume index already made a fulfilled forecast to a climb above 6800.
I have seen arguments that the average volume has been low, but I cannot see any point in that since the volume seems to be decent.
Dax risk indicator has became quite high. Previously when this indicator has climbed above 70, there hasn't been much room for the upside. It is still expected that Dax could touch 7000 before consolidating.
3 month's biggest gainer is Man (+20,3%) while the biggest loser is Metro (-20%). At the same time Dax is up +4%.
Currently the correlation between the stocks and index is lowering, which is a good for stock picking and diversifying. Nowadays diversifying doesn't help in a downtrends, but fortunately uptrends still offer great opportunities.
If you read between the lines, the current short term trend seems to be up (for a while...).
Dax technical 27.4.2012
In a technical perspective, it looks like Dax is trying to touch 7000 or Fibonacci 6974 (78,6%). There is also intermediate declining trend line abobe 7000, thus judging bigger trend. Currently the longer term uptrend still holds confirmed with a touch to major rising trend line and major support at 6544. Additionally short term declining trend lines for Dax and RSI were broken upside. RSI and MACD are also showing some strength.

Dax volume 26.4.2012
Volume index is currently pointing to higher high, so Dax could climb above 6800 no later than next week and then we could see a consolidation.
Dax update 26.4.
The variation between stocks has diverged lately, thus giving good stock picking opportunities.
Correlation between index and stocks has been quite high and recently lowering a little bit. I hope it will lower more. If the correlation is very high, it is somehow alerting, because usually correlation rises near or during downtrends.
Risk indicator is already quite high, so there could be 1-3 days consolidation ahead.
Oversold condition easened, but we need to watch this careful.
Trading performance has been quite pleasant lately even the increased positions has caused more volatility.

Trend following 17.4.2012
Dax seems to have a (longer term) long signal only above 6927 according to my trend following model.
