The German index initially try to rally during the day on Tuesday but found enough resistance above the pull back towards the 50 SMA on the hourly chart. I believe that the market does have bullish pressure underneath though, and the fact that we continue to make “higher lows” suggests to me that we should continue to find buyers on dips.

Dax daily chart, June 13, 2018

The German index initially try to rally towards the €12,950 level but turned around to fall towards the €12,850 level. The market has plenty of support underneath, and so far we have made supportive bounces at higher levels since bottoming on 30 May. I believe that the market should eventually continue to go higher, and in the short term I have a target of the €13,000 handle, but it may take some time to get there. This is a market that has a lot to work itself through, not the least of which will be the ECB meeting tomorrow. I think that if all things being equal, we will probably continue to grind higher. The key word here of course is “grind.”

Once we break above the €13,000 level, the market should continue to go towards the €13,200 level after that. Selling is not a thought, at least not until we make a fresh, new low, something that doesn’t look likely to happen in the short term. That’s not to say that we can’t pull back, we most certainly can and probably will, but I think that the buyers are gradually starting to become much more aggressive. Longer-term, I anticipate that this market could go to the €15,000 level above. Obviously, that’s a longer-term situation, so it’s obvious that it will take quite some time to get there.
