TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

the DAX index from Germany about to send a bearish message to stocks in Europe and the States? Sure could!

This chart looks at the DAX over the past 9-years. It’s spent the majority of the past 8-years inside of rising channel (1), creating a series of higher lows and higher highs.

It looks to have created a “Double Top” as it was kissing the underside of the rising channel last year at (2).

After creating the potential double top, the DAX index has continued to create a series of lower highs, while experiencing a bearish divergence with the S&P 500.

The rally off the bottom of rising channel (1) hit falling resistance at (3), which looks to be near the top of a potential bearish rising wedge
