DAX – GER 30
Dax is trying to find a support just above the Major trendline at 22.125
Resistance for today is at 22.515.
German elections are done, all fine and dandy ( or it is what the mainstream media wants you to believe…) so we are strictly technical right now.
I prefer more consolidation before we can expect DAX to renew it’s strength.

GBPUSD
Last night: Pattern calls for another leg Up – tomorrow.
One nice call for about 60+ pips…
Now support comes at 1.26250, followed by 1.25600
Resistance at 1.26450 & 1.26800
Same situation as for EURUSD – tonight’s close will decide if we continue Up or start a correction/downtrend.
Breaking point 1.26250 1.26400

EURUSD
As said last night – probability was to the upper side – and Up it went.
But what now?
Supports at: 1.04500, 1.04150 & 1.03950
Resistances: 1.05300, 1.05550 & 1.06200
1.04800 is the level that will decide on intraday direction.
Also this one is a game changer when it comes to the close tonight – if above it, we continue Up, if not….you know 😀

Two-way action in Bunds as Merz secures the Chancellery but a blocking minority exists,

A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets from Mike Dolan
Global investors got a reminder last week that the U.S. economic expansion is not etched in stone, even Wall Street is priced as if it was, and German stocks got another shot in the arm on Monday from weekend election results.
A string of soft readings from the U.S. retail and service sectors unnerved U.S. stock traders on Friday, with growing fears the disruption and uncertainty sown by Donald Trump’s new administration are forcing consumers and businesses to draw in their horns.
Morning Bid: Clouds gather on Wall St as German midcaps surge
With election over …
EURO s back to 1.0465-ish after gaming initial political enthusiasm to 1.0528ish
and now that post-election things are sobering players are likely to focus on the attempt by trudeau in europe trying to collude with the german against trump’s tariffs on autos: is a canadian/german collusion going to tame down the belligerence OR is it going to evolve into bonafide trade war between the US vs Canado/German cabal.
Using my platform as a HEATMAP

Dollar close to unchanged after post-German election trading.
Focus on the EU and EURUSD after the German election results were about as expected.
Initial positive reaction was partly driven by hope a new government would remove the debt brake and more spending would boost the Econ. Perhaps on second thought is the reality of trying to put together and then govern with a three party coalition from opposite sides of the political spectrum.
EURUSD is back to square one after failing to hold 1.05+
Modest bounce in USDJPY but still below 150
European and US stocks up
Gold up modestly
Light data day
XAU/USD (GOLD) was at an all high price of 2955 as at lastweek Friday. From there it went bearish to the price at 2918 area. It has slowly climbed back and it is now at 2947 area. I see it getting to resistance point at 2955 and further breaking above it to 2980 area.
The Metal Gold is a bullish one. It has been steadily on the climb since 1996 and it is not yet tired of climbing. Let’s Trade carefully with tight Stoploss/Takeprofits. Do not risk more than 2-5% of your Capital. A word is enough for the wise.
Thanks,
TOPNINE.

THIS WEEK’S MARKET-MOVING EVENTS (all days local)
Between the drop in the February NAHB/Wells Fargo housing market index by 5 points to 42 and the 4.9 percent fall in January existing home sales to 4.08 million units, there are emerging signs of weakening in the housing market. Despite moderation in home prices, builders and buyers are reacting to uncertain economic conditions with increased caution. Builders aren’t as optimistic about the outlook despite the prospect of loosened regulation. They are facing renewed upward price pressures on materials and labor, and potentially shortages of needed inputs. Consumers are worried about decreasing purchasing power with an uptick in inflation and their job security. And finally, there is little chance of meaningfully lower mortgage rates in the near future with the FOMC set to maintain restrictive monetary policy for the time being.
