US and EU stock indices data ingestion currently broken

-
An update on data ingestion and chart generation Here is a real quick update on what can currently be observed on the main website: Our main data source for US and EU stock indices changed some internals, which is why the automated data ingestion no longer works. Hence, the automatically generated charts stopped updating in June. Unfortunately we noticed very late, and now the charts for the US and EU stock indices are outdated. The charts for indices from India and all crypto-related things are not affected. What are the next steps to fix the US and EU stock indices charts? We are going to look for another data source and adapt all things accordingly. We will let you know as soon as everything is fixed.

State of Dax - Calendar Week 29

State of Dax - Calendar Week 29

As usual, I'll walk you through the state of Dax, according to market breadth data.
We're in calendar week 29 and have an interesting trading week behind us!
Let's look at the latest information.
 
 

 

Advance Decline Line and Advanced vs. Declined for Dax



McClellan Oscillator and McClellan Summation Index for Dax



% of Dax members above SMA50, SMA100 and SMA200


 
 
Last week's "State of the Dax" blog post mentioned that for the SMA50 a  threshold was reached. More than 50% of the Dax members traded below their SMA50, which means they switched to a downside trend. We're still below that 50%.
 
 
 
 
I also stated that for the Dax members trading above their SMA 200, a critical threshold was reached (but not breached yet). I claimed that it would not be a good sign if this number decreased any further, but then the huge dip came on the next trading day. Let's see what this graph looks like today:

The 80% threshold was breached, the graph went down to 63,3%. After the 19th July, the percentage of Dax members trading above their SMA200 was on the rise again. We're now back at 86,7% which fits it very well in the range we had before from 11th May until last week. Note that 86,7% seems to be a resistance level.

By the way: The last time the percentage of Dax members above their SMA200 reached 63,3% was back in March. Afterwards, it took the Dax members one month to climb to the peak of 96,7%.
 

Summary

This week's dip in the Dax was a small opportunity for all those who like to do short-time anti-cyclic trading. 
Signals coming from breadth indicators don't point downwards, but not upwards either. During the next 1-2 trading days, we might see a small price decline again because there was such a strong reaction on this week's dip.

Crypto Market Barometer released on advance-decline.net

  Crypto Market Barometer released Today I published my simple but easy-to-read Crypto Market Barometer on our website https://www.advance-decline.net. Click here to get to the new Crypto Market Barometer. This is how the main chart looks like: What's behind the new Crypto Market Barometer We believe that one simple but effective method of gauging the health of a market is to look at how many of the most important individual assets trade above their important SMAs. Since SMAs are a proven way of determining the current trend, a market must be in an uptrend, if more than 50% of its biggest assets trade above their long-term SMAs. If they trade below their long-term SMAs, they must be in a downtrend. For the crypto market, I decided to check the popular BitPanda Crypto Index BCI10. It contains the 10 biggest crypto currencies by market capitalization, and frankly, by only looking at BitCoin, Ethereum, Polkadot and maybe Binance, we already have most of the market covered (again, in

DAX falling and rebounding as expected

DAX falling and rebounding as expected An arrogant headline, true. Market breadth data simply nailed it and yesterday, I announced on twitter that anti-cyclical traders will have their chance : Dax nearly touched the lower Envelope band today. The last time this happened was nearly two months ago. The index is trading below its SMA 20 and the McClellan Oscillator reached -2 again. Good chance to buy the dip if you're anti-cyclical. #dax #trading #marketbreadth pic.twitter.com/bmgqJmzXD9 — Boersen Klaus (@boersen_klaus) September 8, 2021   But also the technical chart provided an indication how deep the DAX might fall today. Technical chart and analysis for DAX Technical chart for DAX with Envelopes and RSI, created on tradingview.com The orange trendlines mark the ongoing mini consolidation for the DAX. The limiting line on the top was already present, but it was unclear, at least for me, where its counterpart at the bottom would appear. But after today's trading day, it
