DAX bulls take over control again – yearly highs to come?
Source: Economic Events May 20, 2019 - Admiral Markets' Forex Calendar
Since the economic docket is very thin going into the start of the trading week, we want to take the chance to have a look at the DAX30 CFD from a purely technical perspective.
After the German index broke above 12,220 points last Thursday, the sequence of falling highs and lows on the hourly time-frame can be considered broken. The mode has switched to neutral, but with a clear bullish tendency.
When the DAX30 CFD corrected some of its gains last Friday, we could clearly spot first buyers stepping in around 12,200/220 points and even if we get to see another stint lower, the region around 12,130 points still acts as a potential long-trigger.
In general, we can say that as long as we trade above 12,000 points on an hourly time-frame, the DAX30 CFD stays short-term bullish with an active target on the upside being found around the current yearly highs at 12,450 points.
