DAX month of gaps and range

Since Sept the DAX has basically traded in a narrow range, with the big moves coming on overnight GAPs to the upside, coming at all time highs.

After the last gap to all time highs (high 8771) the market has traded back to gap support around 8600 and for 4 days traded in a very narrow range 8700 to 8600.  What next?

Waiting for a break of 8600 for a bigger move down

or a break above 8700 to see if the bull move is renewed and new ATH on the horizon.

proceed with caution if a BULL tighten stops

if a BEAR beware breaking to new highs, may go further and faster than one may think

Yesterday and TODAY

Well yesterday's late fall in the markets with the DAX trading for a brief moment below 6000, and the FTSE approached 5600, may have been the shake out of WEAK hands, referred to in yesterday's post .

Today markets have opened with gaps up of 1 %, may be a bit of back filling before a push higher.
