State of DAX for Calendar Week 42 Welcome to another episode of the blog post series "State of DAX". It is October the 23th and we've only 5 trading days left in October. So far this month has brought us a small turn around because it seems like the small correction has found an end. But how healthy is the current development and what's the short-term outlook? Technical Chart for DAX As usual, we'll start with the technical chart for DAX, created on tradingview.com: The index has been trading sideways within a range of 1000 points since April this year. On October the 15th, the DAX managed to break through the trendline/flag and also climbed above the important level of 15 500. Also, the SMA 200 still acts as a comfortable level of support and the index is expected to stay above this line. Let's zoom into the chart: The index climbed above the SMA 20 and tested it on the same day (14th October), which was a good confirmation of the short-term price movement. A

Relative performance of stock indices in September Probably the chart of the month: The image above shows the relative performance of selected stock indices. As you can see, most indices performed badly during September. Only Nikkei 225 was able to carry some gains into the next month. HangSeng > -6% Nasdaq 100 > -5% Dow Jones ~ -4% Dax ~ -3,5% Nikkei 225 ~ +2,7%   Relative indices performance of last 6 months   Relative indices performance of last 12 months   Relative indices performance of last 12 months compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum Bitcoin: From 100% to 406% Ethereum: From 100% to 840%

Dow Jones and DAX quick analysis The first trading day after the elections in Germany is over. Reason enough to take a quick look at the DAX. Its bigger brother, the Dow Jones, is always an interesting index so I don't need a particular reason for a quick analysis. DAX situation Technical chart for DAX created at tradingview.com The DAX started very good into this trading day with gains around ~ +1,21%. Experts say that many investors liked that the outcome of the elections in Germany make an unwanted constellation for a government coalition impossible. Instead, stability can be expected from the next German government. Other investors seemed to be scared of long negotiations between the parties that could form the next coalition. During the day, those gains shrunk to ~ +0,27%, but a gain is a gain. On the chart it means that the DAX continues to trade below the SMA 20, but at least it trades above the important support line at 15 500. The RSI is still below 50. Technically, the si

State of DAX - Calender Week 38 Vacation is over and another "State of DAX" report is due. During the past two weeks, we've seen a dip, realized that Evergrande in China is no longer able to pay out the investors and we still deal with the "usual" problems, such as the Corona pandemic. In addition, the amount of DAX components grew from 30 to 40. Lots of things are moving the DAX and it will be interesting to look at the state of the German stock index. Technical Chart for DAX DAX technical chart created at tradingview.com The DAX fell through the lower Envelope band and gave a clear oversold signal on the short-term time window. At the moment, the price is again between the Envelope bands but failed to reconquer the SMA 20. As long as the price is between the SMA 20 and the lower Envelope band, I speak of a bearish or weak phase on the short-term time window. At least the DAX managed to trade above 15 500 again, an important area of support and resistance. Howe

State of DAX - Calendar Week 36 Another seven days have passed since the last episode of our blog post series about the "State of DAX". This time we're looking at a trading week with a small loss (> 1%) while we are in the middle of a period with weak seasonality. Corona, Afghanistan, upcoming elections here in Germany, challenges for the economy, inflation and "interest angst" - there is plenty of reason for investors to stand on the sideline. Oh, and at the end of this month, we will be looking at the DAX 40 instead of the DAX 30. There will be much to talk about in the next weeks!   But let's focus on the state of the leading German stock index by looking at the data. Technical Chart for DAX   DAX technical chart created at tradingview.com   On last Thursday, the DAX touched the lower Envelope band, giving a short-term and small "oversold" signal. On Friday, the index managed to gain some ground again, moving away from the Envelopes, but stil

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

State of DAX - Calendar Week 35 It is Sunday again and with the end of this calendar week it is time to look back on the last five trading days and determine the "State of DAX".

Market Breadth for DAX 30   Here is the latest market breadth data for the German stock index DAX30: Market Breadth Data for DAX provided by https://www.advance-decline.net The Advance Decline Line for DAX declined more than the index did, which could be a sign of weakness. It means that probably only few DAX components hold up the flag for this index. The Advanced vs. Declined data was captured within a narrow range, with a breakout on th

State of Dax - Calendar Week 33 Welcome to another episode of my little blog post series about the "State of Dax", this time for the ending calendar week 33.

State of Dax - Calendar Week 31 Welcome back to another episode in the "State of Dax" blog post series. The German stock index DAX climbed again, now residing near its alltime high. It will be very interesting to see if this index will beat its own record although August is a weak trading month according to seasonal statistics.

State of Dax - Calendar Week 30 It is weekend again! The last trading month July lies behind us and it is again time for us to take a look at the state of the German stock index DAX. Let's start! The last weeks The last weeks have certainly being interesting. The Dax is in a sideways trend, with almost no gains or losses during July (+0,08%). Seasonal effects surely apply during this summer. Advance Decline Line for Dax, Advanced vs. Declined, McClellan Oscillator and McClellan Summation Index, % of members trading above their SMA50/100/200 As mentioned in previous blog posts, I created a new charting dashboard. It includes all graphs I have in a single interactive dashboard. I can't share this interactive version if you due to missing server resources, but I can export everything as an image. So well, what's the current state? As you can see, the Advance Decline Line shows no divergence with the index. Advanced vs. Declined reached the lower extreme during the last trading

  Just a simple observation without any interpretation from my side: Yesterday, the percentage of Dax members trading above their SMA 200 again went below the threshold of 80%:   The McClellan Summation index looks like this: Data is delayed by one trading day.  

Here is the delayed data for Dax market breadth data, percentage of members above their SMA50, SMA100 and SMA200: Since the Dax declined two days in a row, this market breadth data should be more interesting then I receive the updated data tomorrow. But at the moment this market breadth data shows no warning signs. For the sake of completeness, here is also the Advance Decline Line and the Advanced vs. Declined data for the Dax:

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 brea
