FTSE 100, DAX and Dow consolidation expected to bring fresh push higher

FTSE 100 rallies back into Friday’s high

The FTSE 100 has managed to push back into the recent high of 7041, with the index largely warding off selling pressure evident on Tuesday.

The ongoing recovery phase points towards a potential move into the 7070 resistance level given the current break through 7041.

From a wider perspective, we would want to see a rise above 7151 to entirely negate the declines seen in mid-July and confirm the uptrend once again.

DAX pausing after recent recovery move

The DAX has been attempting to regain ground over the past 10-days, with price on the rise after a wider 76.4% Fibonacci retracement.

While Tuesday saw a break back below 15542 support, the lack of follow-through highlights how we are likely to head higher before long.

Watch for a push through the 15641 level to build a more bullish picture once again, with the index likely to grind lower until that upside break occurs.

Dow Jones likely to push into fresh highs before long

The Dow has seen a brief move into the 76.4% Fibonacci support level at 34858 this week, with the downside moves proving somewhat limited in nature.

A break back below 34761 would signal a potential wider retracement coming into play. Until then, another move higher looks likely from here as we build on the bullish trend.
