TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

Dax topped exactly at strong resistance at 10950/11,000 in all but 1 of the last 6 sessions. It is increasingly unlikely, but if we break high we meet the biggest resistance of the week at the 7.5 year trend line at 11140/160. Try shorts with stops above 11240.

We could hold minor resistance at 10900 today to target 10840/830, 10805/800 (we bottomed exactly here yesterday) & support at 10795/785. On further losses look for good support at 10750/740. Further better support at 10710/700. A break below 10690 is a sell signal targeting 10640/630, perhaps as far as 10580
