DAX leads the way, as FTSE 100 and Dow retrace within bullish trend

The DAX continues to outperform, with the FTSE and Dow retracing in what looks likely to be a short-term pullback phase within a wider uptrend.

FTSE 100 declines raise risk of wider bearish move

The FTSE 100 has continued to pull back, with the index passing through all Fibonacci levels to raise the risk of a bearish breakdown.

A fall down through the 7256 swing-low would bring about a signal that this pullback could form into a wider retracement phase. As such, the outlook will be determined by whether we see price break or rebound from 7256.

DAX continues to push up into record highs

The DAX has been on the rise of late, with the index largely outperforming as we see weakness throughout US and UK stocks.

The push up through the 16105 resistance level this Monday brought a fresh buy signal and we have been pushing upwards since. That bullish outlook holds unless we see a break back below the 15986 swing-low.

Dow expected to reverse higher despite recent pullback

The Dow has been on the back foot over the course of the past 10 days, with price weakening overnight to fall back into 61.8% Fibonacci support yet again.

This period is deemed a retracement of the rally from 35498, with a drop below that level required to bring about a wider bearish picture for the index.

Until that break occurs, we are likely to see the bulls come back into play once again from this 61.8-76.4% Fibonacci zone.
