The German index initially tried to rally during the week but continues to find the area near the 13,000 handle to be a bit resistant. That makes sense, we are a little bit overextended but I think it’s only a matter of time before the buyers return as the 12,500 level looks to be supportive, just as the 12,000 handle is. Looking at this market, I think although we are bit overextended, it’s very likely that the bullish pressure should continue the longer we go into the year, and I believe that given enough time we will break above the 13,000 handle, and then reached a much higher level. I have no interest in shorting unless of course we break down below the 12,000 handle, which seems very unlikely to happen anytime soon.
We have formed a bit of an exhaustive candle for the week, so it looks like we could pull back. However, I think that the pullback offers value that people can take advantage of, and ultimately that should send the market looking for opportunity. I think that the DAX goes to the 14,000 handle, and then eventually 15,000. I would and in small increments in order to take advantage of the overall attitude of the DAX, and I believe that we will eventually continue to see money floating into the European Union, via Germany of course. The Germans are considered to be the “blue-chip” index, and as long as that’s the case it should continue to be the first place money flows to.
