DAX chart update and trading with the moon:)

UPDATE - added the bearish scenario.
Now if the bounce around 11000-11100 is weak and we see another lower low the move lower will look like an impulse which makes the picture more bearish. Than we should see a a retracement which I would like to see staying below 11400 and find resistance at MA50 on the daily chart - if this plays out the chart below is the new road map.
We want to be prepared for a bearish outcome and here is how the bearish scenario look like - the move up since September 2011 finished in May 2015 and huge correction is running already. One leg lower zig-zag W, expanded flat 3-3-5 for X which will explain the impulse higher(which causes the confusion). Now the next zig-zag lower Y is running and in October he DAX should be around 10000... and this should be only the first part of the correction.




Here is the DAX chart updated. The move lower DAX and the US indexes looks scary.... but with impulse higher and 40 weeks low 3 weeks ago I will be very surprised if the top is behind us. The DAX has just reached the target 11100 - the support level(the gap), 61,8% FIbo retracement and the second leg is now 1,618 the size of the first leg lower.
Bullish scenario - at least one more leg higher with the same size for a double top... but I think we will see an impulse higher(the green path)
If we see only a bounce from the support level and the price continue lower below 11000 probably something else is going on.



And here trading with the moon for fun:)... or not!
There is many blogs about trading using the moon, the sun or astrology. Maybe you have already stumbled upon such pages. I am not paying much attention because the tools I use are good enough and no need to make it more complicated. The easiest method is to expect reversal around full moon. I was aware of this and today I have decided to see what happens around full moon - 2014 move higher and 2015 so far sideway move. I would say it works surprisingly good. Add some simple rules for example simple technical analysis sell/buy trigger and trade in the direction of the prevailing trend and you definitely will beat the index and buy and hold tactic.

Very often there is reversal around full moon +-2 days. There is 2-3 times it has not worked so gut, but nothing works 100%. By the way FOMC often marks reversals and on Friday is full moon... so let's see if it will work out again this week.


The numbers in the circles show how many days before or after the top/bottom was full moon.
