The German index fell a bit during the day on Friday, as we continue to grind around just above the €13,000 level. The market is bullish though and is very likely that we will continue to see buyers command on dips.

The German index of course has rallied significantly during the session on Friday, as we continue to see buyers jump into this market. The €13,100 level has offered a little bit of resistance, and I think that if we can break above that level, it’s likely that we continue to go higher, perhaps towards the €13,250 level. I think that short-term pullbacks continue to offer plenty of buying opportunities for those who are willing to take advantage of them, and I believe that the market will continue to favor the DAX to the upside.

I like the idea of adding every time the market goes higher, as we could build up a larger position overall. I believe that the €12,750 level underneath is massive support, and I would be very surprised to see this market break down below there. If we did, I think that the entirety of the uptrend is defined by staying above the €12,000 level, as it is the “floor” of the overall attitude of the market.

I believe that the market will probably go as high as the €15,000 level over the longer-term, but obviously there will be the occasional pullback along the way that offers an opportunity to add to that position as we break to the upside. I like the idea of building a core position and adding to it so that we can take advantage of the move, and of course collect profits along the way as we continue to enjoy such a strong and obvious uptrend.
