DAX weekly forecast from April 2nd, 2024

28 Mar

Situation assessment DAX
1. We have reached another trend reversal zone
2. In our opinion, “much” after “above” is no longer possible in the future

We would like to apologize for the inaccuracy of last week's forecast {wink} when we headlined as follows:
1. Weekly UP peak: between 18,406 and 18,518 (Bonus: 18,630)
2. In perspective, FDAX1! The next striking decision zone is 18,777 (+/-) in focus.

The weekly DAX peak was reached with 5 points less at exactly 18,513.83 and to create this forecast the FDAX reached 18,776 in late trading ;-). The rest of the forecast is also impressive...

Be that as it may, at the beginning of April we will be flooded with some standardized purchase orders (funds, savings plans, etc.) until the April expiry, which will give the DAX a slight further boost. Professional traders use this as an opportunity, especially at the end of the quarter, to take antagonistic positions and carry out a latent “rebalance” at the next quarterly end in June.

In perspective, we see the round 18,650 / 680 in DAX as a potential high point before we could take corrective measures. This would be equivalent to approximately $18,995 EUREX:FDAX1! points.

For the homeopathic Waver faction among us: … we see the 3 of the running 5 at the final end, before we get the 4.... As you have probably already noticed, we don't like "mystical wave predictions" - although we do take the "waves" into account in our models, just as emotionless and interpretation-free mathematical functions, e.g. in the form of adaptive signal decomposition[ /i]. In addition, other factors often play a much more crucial role for professional traders than the “Bloomberg” faction is trying to sell us.

As long as DAX 18,535 can be validly overcome on a daily basis as of April 2nd over the course of the week, the gates are open for us to achieve even higher goals via 18,613 / 683. For this it would be necessary to overcome the 18,726 valid on a daily closing price basis over the course of the week. If this happens, nothing stands in the way of the ~18,900 to 19,095 / 209 until the April monthly witch dance.

From a standard pivot perspective, the DAX weekly-monthly comparison shows 18,646 / 679 as a valid resistance zone. Furthermore, the R2 annual pivot is at 18,597, which will not have an exact braking effect at this point, but will have a braking effect in this region.

Unless an exogenous black swan emerges, it is not worth paying much attention to the downside for the coming week. On the one hand, the hedging needs (VDAX, SKEW, ...) speak against this and, on the other hand, our trend barometer and the general momentum currently show no reason to worry. On the contrary: setbacks will be bought (!).

Nevertheless, the DAX Magistrale (MoB) is at 18,247 for the coming week. Only when it is validly below... is it time to consider a short strategy and set an anchor point again (did you remember? ;))

However, don't forget: we are in a shortened trading week in the western-oriented world with lower sales in the future and the associated volatile uncertainties (!) So don't be disappointed if the high in March has already been marked with the April contract change .

If you value this article and the work involved, follow us and give us a thumbs up - it doesn't hurt (:-)

It is worth mentioning “by the way” that in terms of chart technology we have achieved an extension from 2000 – 2008 with ~18,485.

We forecast based on mathematical models for DAX as follows:

1. Trend barometer: UP
2nd week UP peak: between 18,613 and 18,683 (Bonus: 18,726)
3rd week DOWN peak: between 18,357 and 18,287
4. Arithmetic mean: between 18,384 and 18,586
5. MOB technical price mark: 18,428
6. Pivot fluctuation range: 18,216 / 18,722
7. Fair Value GD / Low / High: 18,440 / 904 / 935
8. VIX Zones: 11.58 / 12.66
