Dax, FTSE, Eurostoxx & S&P Daily Technical Forecast

Recommended Posts

Eurostoxx tested the 200 week MA and Oct high at 2575/78 and blipped higher to 2582 in the afternoon but could make it no further.

If we beat 2582 today this should lead to a test of 2012 highs and the big double top at 2602/07. Clearly this is a very significant level and with the market overbought on daily and shorter term charts there is a strong chance of a high here for this 2 week recovery. We have to attempt shorts here with a stop above 2613. We then run in to the 61.8% retracement level of the losses from the highs in 2011 at 2638 and this therefore should be very tough resistance. Attempt shorts once again with a stop and reverse in to longs above 2650.

Support at 2567/66 but below 2556 we could test better support at 2546/43. A low for the day here is very possible so worth covering any shorts but if attempting longs we need stop/reverse in to shorts below 2532 for a move to 2521/19.

 

FTSE broke 5859 but has so far failed to test the Oct/Nov highs at 5903/07. With the market no overbought on daily and shorter term charts we may not each this far as profit taking sets in. A move below 5855 signals weakness creeping in and should see last

weeks high at 5837 then possibly 5820/15 support tested. Watch for a low for the day here so exit any shorts but if we try longs here we need stops below 5804. Sell in to shorts on a break here as this could keep the market under pressure for 5783/73.

If we manage to push through 5886 we run in to the Oct/Nov highs at 5903/07 and a good chance we go no further. However if we do continue on through here the Sept highs of 5933 could be the next stop.

 

Dax broke trend line resistance at 7409 but the move was limited to 7418 as the market starts to look over bought on daily and shorter term charts.

Even so we cannot rule out a break above yesterday’s high to test October & November highs at 7440/49. We should struggle here so worth exiting any remaining longs and moving in to short positions up to the 2012 highs at 7476. We will be looking to stop out of shorts however and buy back in to longs on a break above 7500.

Support at 7382 then 7360 is the target below. Failure here sees us drifting further towards 7341, possibly 7323. Exit any remaining shorts here and look to buy in to longs on a move towards 7310/07. Stops on longs needed below 7295. Look to sell back in to shorts then with a move to 7270/65 likely.

 

S&P did break 1416 but only made it as far as 1418. This is 55 day MA as well as the high for the first half of this year. The market is overbought now on the daily and shorter term charts so there is a risk we make it no higher now and start to hit profit taking.

1410 is the level to watch as a break below here sees us back towards 1407/05 and the 100 day moving average. We then find good support at 1401/00 and a probable low for the day if tested. If attempting longs here we need a stop/reverse in to short positions below 1395 for 1390/88.

We are in a very strong 2 week up trend so we cannot rule out a break above 1418 for a test of the 1423/25 resistance level. This should be very tough to beat so worth exiting longs and trying shorts with stops above the Nov highs at 1432.

I've been pretty bullish on the S&P 500 and this was met with some criticism here on Seeking Alpha. Anyway, it's not just the S&P that has me excited, but also the German DAX (DAX). As of late, speculators have been switching their focus from Europe to the U.S. with an occasional glance at what is happening in the third largest economy on the planet.

 

Germany leading growth in the eurozone

 

Germany is the three hundred pound gorilla in the eurozone. While it is true that GDP dropped in Germany, the thing that eurozone investors will find encouraging is the positive statements coming out of the Bundesbank. The Bundesbank and German ministers have estimated that Germany will grow over 0.5% in the first quarter of 2013.

    • Date: 29th March 2024. GBPUSD Analysis: The Pound Trades Higher But For How Long? The global Stocks Markets are closed due to Easter Friday (Good Friday). The NASDAQ continued to follow the sideways trend while other indices again rose. The SNP500 reaches an all-time high, but the NASDAQ remains under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple. The Euro continues to trade lower against all major currencies including the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The British Pound is the best performing currency during this morning’s Asian session. However, investors are largely fixing their attention on this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. GBPUSD – The Pound Trades Higher but For How Long? The GBPUSD is slightly higher than the day’s open and is primary due to the Pound’s strong performance. At the moment, the British Pound is increasing in value against all major currencies. However, the US Dollar Index is also trading 0.10% higher and for this reason there is a slight conflict here. If investors wish to avoid this conflict, the EURUSD is a better option. This is because, the Euro depreciating against the whole currency market avoiding the “tug-of-war” scenario. The GBPUSD is trading slightly lower than the 2-month’s average price and is trading at 49.10 on the RSI. For this reason, the price of the exchange is at a “neutral” level and is signalling neither a buy nor a sell. The day’s price action and future signals are possibly likely to be triggered by this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to read 0.3% which is slightly lower than the previous month but will result in the annual figure remaining at 2.85%. The PCE rate is different to the inflation rate and the Fed aims for a rate between 1.5% to 2.00%. Therefore, even if the annual rate remains at 2.85%, as analysts expect, it would be too high for the Fed. If the rate increases, even if only slightly, the US Dollar can again renew bullish momentum and the stock market can come under pressure. This includes the SNP500. Investors are focused on the publication of data on the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the last quarter of 2023: the quarterly figures decreased by 0.3%, and 0.2% over the past 12-months. This confirms the state of a shallow recession and the need for stimulation. The data, combined with a cooling labor market and a steady decline in inflation, increase the likelihood that the Bank of England will soon begin interest rate cuts. In the latest meeting the Bank of England representatives did not see any members vote for a hike. USA500 – The SNP500 Rises to New Highs, But Cannot Hold Onto Gains! The price of the SNP500 rises to an all-time high, before correcting 0.33% and ending the day slightly lower than the open price. Nonetheless, the index performs better than the NASDAQ which came under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple which hold a higher weight compared to the SNP500. For the SNP500, these 3 stocks hold a weight of 9.25%, whereas the 3 stocks make up 14.63% of the NASDAQ. The SNP500 is also supported by ExxonMobil’s gains due to higher energy prices. The market will remain closed on Friday due to Easter. However, the market will reopen on Monday for the US and investors can expect high volatility. Investors will also need to take into consideration how the PCE Price Index and the changed value of the US Dollar is likely to affect the stock market next week.
