The Index started the week on the offensive on improved sentiment around Omicron, but it has been facing difficulties since yesterday, as optimism eases and fears around China’s property market resurface
In our estimate, the DAX weekly is now at a critical juncture in terms of this week's price action. The candlestick of two weeks back is a long red candlestick down (aqua arrow). The range of the candle shows the fearsome selloff as news of the omicron variant emerged. However, last week, the DAX settled and a spinning top was charted. This is a candle of uncertainty, with neither the…
Weekly Chart Using 19 July as a starting reference, the UK100 has charted a higher trough followed by a higher peak. This is an uptrend. Last week's candle is setting up to potentially be the next higher trough in the series (HT?). If this week's candle closes above last week's high (aqua horizontal), the higher trough will be confirmed. This will create a platform for the UK100 to chart the…

Weekly Chart The NAS100 weekly chart retains its bullish bias. The shorter-term green moving average is above the mid-term orange moving average, and the mid-term orange moving average is above the longer-term red moving average. This is a bullish formation. Since shortly after the pandemic lows, the index stochastic has also oscillated around its 70th percentile (aqua rectangle), suggesting the presence of underlying bullish momentum. This matched with index appreciation…
Weekly Chart Further to our previous article, the GER30 charted a lower low this week at support (blue shaded horizontal). Since hitting this level, bulls have attempted to push the price higher, and the current action is off the low for the week. This has set up a potential swing low. However, for this to take place, short-term candles will need to chart a higher low and close above this…
