Where now?
DAX weekly
DAX approaching strong overhead and downtrend resistance. Could be we get a brief push above, before a correction sets in. However unless the trend changes that will be all it is .. a correction.
FTSE weekly
Also approaching resistance
Needs to break and hold above 5810, for test of 5870/5890
Formidable resistance around 5900.
IF the market can break higher obvious target is 6000
DAX/FTSE spread chart
When there is an uptrend can see that DAX outperforms FTSE.
Reasons?
1, FTSE is quite heavily weighted with defensive stocks
2, DAX has only 30 stocks compared to FTSE 100, and many are cyclical risk on stocks.
However sometimes the spread widens too much. For a relatively risk free trade sell DAX buy FTSE at these levels, possibly 200points, before uptrend resumes
When a prolonged market down turn occurs the tables are turned with the FTSE outperforming the DAX, in which case a spread trade can be held for longer
