2013/10/30 DAX 15 min - support and resistance Fibonacci Clusters for the day

2013/10/25 CVI short setup - rejected at 42 heading down for 34

 

CVI has tested  the Fibonacci Cluster around 42 and is now heading down to support at 36.5, and maybe even lower to 34.

Support: 36.5
Extension target 127.2%: 34

2013/10/25 QIHU setup - found support at 85 Fibonacci Cluster, now heading for 100

After a corrective move, QIHU has found support at the Fibonacci Cluster around 85. Now it's heading higher with the master trend  aiming for the 127.2% extension target of 100. The TTM_Squeeze has also fired long and its increasing squeeze-momentum (light blue bars) are supporting the idea of further upside potential. It's all setting up nicely for a good Risk/Reward trade.

Extension target 127.2%: 100
Extension target 161.8%: 104
Support cluster (stop):  84 - 85

2013/8/20 DAX weekly chart & setup with potential entry / targets for weekly option trade

DAX weekly chart and potential weekly option trade setup: 

After a dynamic move downwards to the 100% extension level 8250 on Tuesday morning, a corrective retracement back to 8330 seems likely, with a test of this level and the upper channel limit. This could develop into a nice entry point, for a move down from 8330 to 8210 (127% Fibo-extension) or even lower to 8155 (162% Fibo-extension) or the island-gap from 8130 to 8085. Take note that there will be important U.S. news on Wednesday and Thursday that will likely move the markets.

Have a  successful trading week, Tom

2013/8/12 DAX weekly options trade is on with a wDAX 8450 PUT

NEW DAX TRADE:

S&P 500, DOW and FTSE 100 all show bearish tendencies. The DAX is the most bullish of all and had the most powerful intraday reversal, which also gives it the most downside potential. The weekly options trade with a long wDAX 8450 PUT and a chart with the setup can be found in the table in the InOutOptions tab.

even lower to the island-gap from 8130 to 8085.
