2025-06-16 - priceactiontds - daily update - dax Good Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: Market is much weaker than sp500 and nq, which is always unusual. We are staying below 23724, which is good for the bears but we are in a weak bull channel and making higher highs and higher lows since the Friday sell spike. Both sides make money and market is currently in balance around 23560ish. Clear invalidation prices for both sides and until then it’s buy low, sell high and scalp.
current market cycle: broad bull channel
key levels: 23300 - 24000
bull case: Bulls want to accelerate upwards, close the Globex gap to 23800 and retest 24000. End of story. They are currently a bit favored since we are in a bull channel but only slightly. Market has to stay above 23500 if they want to continue higher. If broader bullishness on markets continues, dax won’t stay below 23800 tomorrow.
Invalidation is below 23500.
bear case: Given that US markets pumped again, dax lags big time. Bears need to keep the gap to 23800 open and print something below 23500 again. If they continue sideways, their chances of another leg down to 23000 become better. My weekly outlook was that we correct sideways for a couple of days before we get another leg down, So far I think this is unfolding.
Invalidation is above 23800.
short term: Neutral around 23650. Bullish really only above 23800 or closer to 23500. If we stay above 23560 tomorrow, I expect another try at 23700 and above 23742 bears will give up for at least 23800.
medium-long term from 2025-06-15: Bull trend has most likely concluded. Long term shorts are fine. Stop has to be at least 24508. I see it 70% or more that we will see 22000 before end of August.
trade of the day: Long around 23500 on EU open since Globex breakout from 23400 was bullish enough to expect a second leg up or at least a re-test of the high 23620 which would have been good for 100 points but was actually good for 220 if you held. The short around 23700 was tough. bears should signs of wanting a trading range with the structure after EU open and the sell-off from 23724 was unexpected in it’s strength since US markets pumped that hard.

#004 DAX GERMANY 40: LONG Opportunity
GERMANY 40 – Possible Daily Reversal Starting: LONG on Strategic Support
Hello, I am Trader Andrea Russo, Founder of the SwipeUP Élite FX Method, and today I want to point out this investment on Germany 40 (DAX), in a long configuration from the 23,345 area.
🔍 Technical Context
In recent days, the DAX has undergone a strong correction that has brought the price from 24,800 to test the lows in the 23,200 area. This area corresponds to a long-term daily support level, already used in the past for institutional accumulations.
The price generated a strong bearish spike right at the opening of the cash session, but without closing below the previous lows. This behavior is often indicative of a pre-reversal bearish manipulation.
Confirming this scenario, a double bottom pattern has formed with positive divergence on the 8H and daily cyclical oscillators. In addition, volumes are growing right on the support: a typical signal of an invisible accumulation phase by institutional operators.
✅ Trade Strengths
Daily static support confirmed at 23,200–23,300, already defended several times in the past.
Manipulative spike evident in the first hour of cash opening, followed by rejection of the lows.
Bullish divergence on the cyclical indicators (WT_CROSS) in H8.
Favorable risk/reward ratio (~3.6:1), with well-defined technical stop loss.
Volatility under control: the VIX is stable and the US session opened without a selloff.
Neutral/positive macro environment: weak euro, expectations of monetary easing, low pressure on bonds.
Derivatives sentiment favorable: open interest rising in the 23,300–23,400 area on DAX futures.
🎯 Operating Levels
ENTRY: 23,345
STOP LOSS: 23,170
TAKE PROFIT: 24,007
📌 This positioning allows you to operate with limited risk and a realistic objective, perfectly compatible with standard technical movements on the German index in 2–3 days.
⏱️ Expected Timings
First directional candle expected within 8–16 hours (1–2 H8 candles).
Estimated duration of the trade: between 48 and 72 hours to reach the target.
🧠 Operating Conclusion
The long investment on DAX from 23,345 represents one of the clearest technical configurations seen in the last week on European indices.
The simultaneous presence of cyclical signals, manipulation, structure and static support offers a high probability of success.
The final target at 24,007 is technically and statistically achievable with rigorous management.

#202524 - priceactiontds - weekly update - daxGood Day and I hope you are well.
comment: Bears leaving no doubt who is in control of the market now. Volume is picking up on the move down and bear bars are getting bigger. I expect a bit more fighting around 23500 but once we break below, 23000 is the next target and also likely a gap close down to 22600. I have drawn my least bearish wave thesis on the chart where the 50% retracement gets hit over the next weeks. Much more bearish would be the 20000 target. If this selling continues without a pullback, I will adjust the legs.
current market cycle: trading range until we close below 23200 - then we are in the new bear trend. As of now the continuation inside the range is more likely.
key levels for next week: 22600 - 24000
bull case: Got nothing for the bulls but in case we trade back above 23580, we have to assume sideways for longer. I don’t think we can try another new ath after this selling. Bulls found support at the sell-spike from the 50% tariff announcement. If overall markets won’t sell off early on Monday, we can expect some sideways movement before market gets the next impulse up or down. Anything above 24100 would surprise me big time.
Invalidation is below 23280
bear case: 23280 is the price to break for more downside and 23580 is the most important price for bears to prevent the bulls from getting. If 23580 holds, we can do another strong leg down to close the gap 22600. If we go above, the next bear trend line would be around 23950ish and if we get there we will likely test 24000 again. After 5 consecutive bear bars, bulls can not hold longs in hope for another run at the highs. The bear bars are getting bigger and market tested above 24000 enough to know there are not enough buyers. Bulls tried 4 times to 3 times to continue the trend. Selling this top with long term shorts is as good as it gets. On lower time frames I expect a bit more sideways before another leg down.
Invalidation is above 23280
short term: Neutral but only on time frames lower than 4h. W1 has likely concluded but I expect at least a big second leg down to 22600ish. Bears have to keep it below 23580 or we could test back up to 24000.
medium-long term from 2025-06-15: Bull trend has most likely concluded. Long term shorts are fine. Stop has to be at least 24508. I see it 70% or more that we will see 22000 before end of August.
DAX | Bearish Below 23810–23690, Targeting 23395 and 23160DAX | Technical Analysis
The price has stabilized below the pivot zone (23810 – 23690), confirming the continuation of bearish momentum.
📉 As long as the price remains below 23810 and 23690, the downtrend is expected to persist, with a potential move toward 23395. A confirmed break below this level could extend the decline toward 23160.
Pivot Zone: 23810 – 23690
Resistance Levels: 24085, 24300
Support Levels: 23395, 23160
Trend Outlook: Bearish Momentum
2025-06-11 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: Much more reasons to buy below 23900 than to sell. I do think bulls showed strength today by printing 24193 and this could become a lower low, major trend reversal. Long stops have to be 23750 but there is decent chance could get there as well. I still think they will fail at the gap again and market will close the week closer to 24000 than to 23800. Anything above 24200 tomorrow would be a huge bull surprise and could lead to 24500 again.
current market cycle: broad bull channel
key levels: 23700 - 24500
bull case: Bulls need to keep this a higher low if they want 24500 again. Bulls see the 4 legs down and with today’s huge bull spike, they are likely confident that buying down here is great value. R:R is on their side since the upside is 700 points but they maybe have to risk 200. They reason that what bears wants to sell down here at huge prior support, the bull trend line and the open gap to 23750. Don’t be too early and wait for strong momentum to join.
Invalidation is below 23700.
bear case: Bears outdid themselves for 3 days now, compared to the price action the weeks before. But what now? Big support below us and who wants to sell this? If they see a strong 15m or 1h bar tomorrow, they just have to give up. If they don’t it likely means opex forces institutions to keep the market below 23900 because options need to expire worthless. I would never sell down here. If it goes to 23500, so be it.
Invalidation is above 24550.
short term: Neutral but waiting only for bulls to come around. I think 24200 is much more likely than 23500.
medium-long term from 2025-05-25: My rough guess from early May was down over the summer and up into year end. POTUS certainly helped with the 50% tariffs. I need to see market reaction next week and if there is no 180° reversal until Friday, they will become reality the week after and dax should do 20-30% down over the next months. Markets were not positioned for any risk what so ever. Now we got the atomic trade bomb.
trade of the day: Buying the strong 1hm bull bar 2 hours before EU opened or selling the news spike up to 24193. Both were easy to spot and went for many points without testing above the signal bar.
DAX: Move Up Expected! Long!
My dear friends,
Today we will analyse DAX together☺️
The market is at an inflection zone and price has now reached an area around 23.976.69 where previous reversals or breakouts have occurred.And a price reaction that we are seeing on multiple timeframes here could signal the next move up so we can enter on confirmation, and target the next key level of 24.050.29. Stop-loss is recommended beyond the inflection zone.
❤️Sending you lots of Love and Hugs❤️
2025-06-09 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: Wedge bull flag, I expect 24000 and 24500 to get hit this week, everything above and below those prices would be a surprise to me. We are also forming a triangle with the bull trend line and I expect bulls to get the breakout above.
current market cycle: broad bull channel
key levels: 23700 - 24500
bull case: Bulls making sure the correction is sideways and shallow. They likely want to buy closer to the trend line around 24000 for more value. They want another retest of 24500 and another higher high. Since the trend line is valid and we are comfortably above the daily 20ema, they remain in full control.
Invalidation is below 23700.
bear case: Bears printed a lower low for the past 4 trading days but does the 1h chart look bearish to you? The move down to 24112 has mostly overlapping bars and bulls even printed 5 consecutive 1h bull bars. Those things do not happen in strong bear trends. I expect bears to give up tomorrow. 1h close below 23800 would certainly change everything. This would open the possibility to test down to 23746 and the bigger trend line.
Invalidation is above 24550.
short term: Neutral but expecting bulls to come around strongly closer to 24000 for a re-test of 24500. Only below 23800 I would become bearish and even if we get there, I doubt we would go further down.
medium-long term from 2025-05-25: My rough guess from early May was down over the summer and up into year end. POTUS certainly helped with the 50% tariffs. I need to see market reaction next week and if there is no 180° reversal until Friday, they will become reality the week after and dax should do 20-30% down over the next months. Markets were not positioned for any risk what so ever. Now we got the atomic trade bomb.
trade of the day: Selling 24200 was good for many scalps today but I think the most obvious trade was the long on the EU open sell spike from 24168 up to open price 24272.
#202523 - priceactiontds - weekly update - dax futuresGood Day and I hope you are well.
comment: Last week I wrongly wrote that earnings season will start in June, sorry about that. It’s mid July. So what to do at 24300? Market finds acceptance above 24000 but we have made 500 points to the upside in the past 3 weeks. At some point bulls will let it go and reality will set in. Market is holding above the daily 20ema and until that changes, bears are not favored for anything. Be that as it may, I would rather look for some short scalps closer to 24400/24500 than longing above 24200. For next week I expect 24500 to get hit again, as well as 24000. Anything below 23800 would be a huge surprise though.
current market cycle: bull wedge and on the weekly tf it’s a broad bull channel and we are at the very top
key levels for next week: 23000 - 25000
bull case: Nothing changed so my comment remains the same.
25000 is the next big round number but I highly doubt we get there. I was wrong last week and until we leave bear gaps behind us, bulls are favored for everything because the reality is that buying every dip has been profitable for months now. Bulls have to keep printing higher lows though.
Invalidation is below 23700
bear case: We are basically where we were one week ago, so my comment from last week also applies to the bears.
I doubt we have much more upside in store but we could very well spike to 25000 before we can expect more bulls to stop buying every dip. Bears get spikes and zero follow-through, which leads to many bear traps. Scalping both sides was fine the past 2 weeks but bears have to take quick profits or they vanish quickly. Bears need a daily close below 23700 for more downside and until then, swing shorts are account destroyers. We need a big gap down which does not close to stop the BTFD crowd. So if we get a decent one next week and market only corrects sideways, that will be the trigger for more selling.
One thing that changed is that the current wedge has not a lot more room to go and I think if bulls fail to print 25000 next week (will align with all markets ripping higher), they likely won’t get it,
Invalidation is above 24550
short term: Neutral. Still scalping both sides. Best bears can get is a trading range 23500 - 24500 and anything outside of this range is a surprise. 24550 and higher would be less of a surprise though.
medium-long term from 2025-05-25: My rough guess from early May was down over the summer and up into year end. POTUS certainly helped with the 50% tariffs. Markets were not positioned for any risk what so ever. Now we got the atomic trade bomb. This view has not changed, just the time horizon which aligns better with Q2 earnings and my expectation that we will see the tariff madness coming through. Markets can ignore risks for longer than you can maintain your account but that does not change the reality and if you think this tariff war has a happy ending, you have not paid attention to anyone but the US government or their echo chamber.
DAX H4 | Bullish uptrend to extend higher?The DAX (GER30) is falling towards a swing-low support and could potentially bounce off this level to climb higher.
Buy entry is at 23,765.39 which is a swing-low support.
Stop loss is at 23,200.00 which is a level that lies underneath an overlap support.
Take profit is at 24,732.86 which is a resistance that aligns with the 127.2% Fibonacci extension.

DAX: Bulls Are Winning! Long!
My dear friends,
Today we will analyse DAX together☺️
The price is near a wide key level
and the pair is approaching a significant decision level of 24,262.29 Therefore, a strong bullish reaction here could determine the next move up.We will watch for a confirmation candle, and then target the next key level of 24,423.36.Recommend Stop-loss is beyond the current level.
❤️Sending you lots of Love and Hugs❤️
DAX Take 1 Part 2 – Reloaded but not yet good to goThe first time, we saw the DAX poke the 1/4 line.
This was followed by several attempts (distribution by the big players), and from that point on, it headed south and the DAX rolled down the hill.
Currently, it looks very similar.
I’m watching and observing the break of the trend barrier very closely, even on smaller timeframes than the daily.
The profit targets are indicated by the red arrows.
After the break of the thick white centerline, a strong retest of the CL could be in store.
My main target would then be the red centerline.
Since the markets are behaving completely irrationally, I’ll need more “breathing room” in the trade and will handle this trade using long-dated LEAP options.

#202522 - priceactiontds - weekly update - daxGood Day and I hope you are well.
comment: Max bearishness last Friday but markets refuse to go down and take tariff risks at face value. Q2 earnings will tell the story so buckle up. Earnings season kicks off in about 3 weeks. Until then the next big event will be in 8 days when 50% EU tariffs may or may not come into play. Until then I don’t expect a big move to the downside, since bears tried couple of times but market refuses to go down. The big upper channel line runs up to 25000 and that is the next obvious big target. For bears it’s a break below the bull wedge and retesting 23300.
current market cycle: bull wedge and on the weekly tf it’s a broad bull channel and we are at the very top
key levels for next week: 23000 - 25000
bull case: 25000 is the next big round number but I highly doubt we get there. I was wrong last week and until we leave bear gaps behind us, bulls are favored for everything because the reality is that buying every dip has been profitable for months now. Bulls have to keep printing higher lows though.
Invalidation is below 23300.
bear case: I doubt we have much more upside in store but we could very well spike to 25000 before we can expect more bulls to stop buying every dip. Bears get spikes and zero follow-through, which leads to many bear traps. Scalping both sides was fine the past 2 weeks but bears have to take quick profits or they vanish quickly. Bears need a daily close below 23300 for more downside and until then, swing shorts are account destroyers. We need a big gap down which does not close to stop the BTFD crowd. So if we get a decent one next week and market only corrects sideways, that will be the trigger for more selling.
Invalidation is above 24500.
short term: Neutral. Scalping both sides but I will only turn full bear with an open bear gap and a daily close below 23300.
medium-long term from 2025-05-25: My rough guess from early May was down over the summer and up into year end. POTUS certainly helped with the 50% tariffs. Markets were not positioned for any risk what so ever. Now we got the atomic trade bomb. This view has not changed, just the time horizon which aligns better with Q2 earnings and my expectation that we will see the tariff madness coming through. Markets can ignore risks for longer than you can maintain your account but that does not change the reality and if you think this tariff war has a happy ending, you have not paid attention to anyone but the US government or their echo chamber.
DAX Channel Up targeting a 24800 Higher High.DAX (DE40) has been trading within a 1-month Channel Up and appears to be repeating the first Bullish Leg of the pattern.
More specifically, it rose by +5%, similar to April 30 - May 05 and yesterday's correction resembles May 06. With also identical 1H RSI formations (Lower Highs), we expect the uptrend to be extended in a similar structure and again target the 1.382 Fibonacci extension at 24800.

Good Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: Higher highs and higher lows. Focus on the easy trades. Can only get bearish with consecutive 15m or 1h bars below 24000 and for now that is unlikely. Bulls bought 24000 the whole week so look for longs.
current market cycle: broad bull channel
key levels: 23000 - 24500
bull case: As long as the bull gap 23700 - 23900 stays open, I would only look for longs. 24500 is the next obvious target and it’s not impossible that markets do a complete meltup tomorrow. Structure is a clear bull channel until we print below 24000.
Invalidation is below 23900.
bear case: Bears need something below 24000 again, that means lower lows. Right now bulls remain in full control and I doubt we can go from daily new ath to a big reversal down. I got nothing for the bears here.
Invalidation is above 24550.
short term: Neutral but would only trade long until we see much better selling pressure and prices below 24000.
medium-long term from 2025-05-25: My rough guess from early May was down over the summer and up into year end. POTUS certainly helped with the 50% tariffs. I need to see market reaction next week and if there is no 180° reversal until Friday, they will become reality the week after and dax should do 20-30% down over the next months. Markets were not positioned for any risk what so ever. Now we got the atomic trade bomb.
trade of the day: Short since the bull trap on the open but I did not take it. I thought chances of a reversal were too high for me. I was wrong but that’s ok.
DAX: Will Go Down! Short!
My dear friends,
Today we will analyse DAX together☺️
The market is at an inflection zone and price has now reached an area around 24,143.24 where previous reversals or breakouts have occurred.And a price reaction that we are seeing on multiple timeframes here could signal the next move down so we can enter on confirmation, and target the next key level of 24,064.02.Stop-loss is recommended beyond the inflection zone.
❤️Sending you lots of Love and Hugs❤️

Good Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: Back where we started on Friday and I do think one more big leg down will finally be enough for the persistent btfd crowd to scale it down a bit. So far it has been profitable and that’s why bears need a big gap that does not close or otherwise we just continue sideways to up. Bulls need to get trapped for this to end.
current market cycle: broad bull channel
key levels: 23000 - 24300
bull case: Watch the 1h 20ema tomorrow. If we stay above, we can make another ath and it’s possible we see more upside above 24200. Since all my bull targets are met and I have no interest in buying this, I won’t be your guide in looking for longs here. I think buying above 24000, while we wait for 50% tariffs to the US, qualifies for most stupid the trade of the year. I’m happy for you if you make money on any side though.
Invalidation is below 23300.
bear case: Even if tariffs won’t be 50% and only 10%, it would still mean less business for everyone. Markets are not pricing the risks right and are begging to get rug pulled. Only a couple times a year markets are so miss-aligned with reality that in hindsight you feel unwell for not risking more. Having said that, now is not the time to short. We need way more selling pressure again. Wait for big bears to appear. Below 23900 we could see a test of 23800 but it will likely be an easy trap for bears so only take it if we either move very strongly down or if we move down over a long time without any decent bounce up.
Invalidation is above 24300.
short term: Neutral. Sitting on hands until bulls run for the exits and big bears come out.
medium-long term from 2025-05-25: My rough guess from early May was down over the summer and up into year end. POTUS certainly helped with the 50% tariffs. I need to see market reaction next week and if there is no 180° reversal until Friday, they will become reality the week after and dax should do 20-30% down over the next months. Markets were not positioned for any risk what so ever. Now we got the atomic trade bomb.
trade of the day: Long since Globex open. Tough.
#202521 - priceactiontds - weekly update - dax futuresGood Day and I hope you are well.
comment: tl;dr covered it. I would be really surprised if we see 24000 again over the next days, if not months. If there is no 180° reversal from orange face next week, this is a de-facto embargo and we will see new lows over the summer.
current market cycle: trading range and very broad bull channel on the weekly time frame
key levels for next week: 22000 - 24000
bull case: My base assumption is that we have started a new bear trend on Friday and any pullback will be a lower high. The higher bulls can get it, the better and weaker the trend will be. On Friday they could not hit the 50% retracement and if bears are strong, market will not trade above 23750 for the next weeks/months. If bulls can get above it, their next target would be the breakout retest 23900. Above 24000 means I am wrong about my thesis and market is doing something else, which will likely be a trading range 23000 - 243000.
Invalidation is below 22900.
bear case: Last Sunday I only wanted to short this but bears did not do enough until then. Friday changed it and I am in full bear mode if Monday goes well for the bears. Clear invalidation above 24000 and if bulls do not get it, shorts with stop new ath are reasonable. Donald gave the gift to bears, now I want to see some carnage. Market held above the daily 20ema but likely only due to the climactic selling, bears happy for any profit for such a long time and algos buying the first touch of the ema. Next targets for bears are the obvious round number 23000 and then closing the big gap down to 22600 and yes, I absolutely think we can get there next week.
Invalidation is above 24000.
short term: Neutral until bears show me some follow-through and not letting the bulls out with anything above 23800/23900. We need a big open bear gap and then we can see some bull slaughter.
medium-long term from 2025-05-25: My rough guess from early May was down over the summer and up into year end. POTUS certainly helped with the 50% tariffs. I need to see market reaction next week and if there is no 180° reversal until Friday, they will become reality the week after and dax should do 20-30% down over the next months. Markets were not positioned for any risk what so ever. Now we got the atomic trade bomb.
