DAX Index Price Forecast January 16, 2018, Technical Analysis

The German index went back and forth during the trading session on Monday, as we continue to flatten the overall trend. The market is currently building up momentum from what I think, so I’m waiting for a couple of moves to get involved. · FX Empire

I believe that the German index going sideways during the session on Monday wasn’t much of a surprise, as we are trying to build a bit of a base near the €13,200 level. If we can break above the €13,250 level on the daily chart, I think we will then go higher, perhaps trying to fill the gap from several sessions ago, which is essentially the €13,400 handle. Eventually, I think we break above the €13,500 level, and once we get above there we could go much higher. Alternately, if we were to break down I think that we will go testing the massive support level, near the €13,000 level. That is an area that is massive in its importance, due to the large, round, psychologically significant number.

I believe that given enough time, buyers would be interested in buying in that area as it is a major level on longer-term charts. Ultimately, I think that we will break above the €13,500 level, and then go looking towards the €15,000 level above. This is a market that has recently seen a massive move to the upside, and that multiple traders will be looking at these pullbacks as value. With that type of impulsivity, I would anticipate that we should continue to see momentum build up. That being said, we have to keep in mind that the EUR/USD pair is skyrocketing, so that makes German exports a bit more expensive and could put a bit of a drag on this market.
