DAX – GER 30
22.200 – Major support needs to hold if DAX is to continue Up right now.
Current pattern signals a Sell off , but in my experience stranger things happened then if DAX is to continue Up from around here. Just saying what I know…
If this drop was a result of a savage profit taking, it wouldn’t surprise me to see 22.200 holding and DAX continuing its trip…
But we can’t know that, so we have to be ready for trend change.
21.450 is another strong point that can provide footing to it.

EUR getting a brief (algo news reaction) lift but mainly on crosses as EURUSD stays below 1.0550… falling back to to test 1.0530

DAX – GER 30
DAX opened with a Gap – to the downside.
Current support is at 22.550
Carefully now – I said yesterday that fundamentals will drive DAX Up in the future, but this might be a perfect time for profit taking and some correction – be it a sideways or more deeper…
As long as DAX stays above 22.550 , 22.400 & later on 22.200 it is extremely Bullish.

President Trump’s Prefered Incite and Incentive Tool:
Rtrs / Trump says Japan, China cannot keep reducing value of their currencies
Summary
Weak Japan, Chinese currencies ‘unfair’ to U.S., Trump says
Solution to weak-currency policies is tariffs, Trump says
Japan says it is not adopting policies to directly weaken yen
China keeps guiding yuan firmer
March 4 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump said he told the leaders of Japan and China they could not continue to reduce the value of their currencies, as doing so would be unfair to the United States. …/..
EURUSD Daily
Resistances: 1.05650, 1.06050 & 1.07250
Supports: 1.05050, 1.04750 & 1.04450
1.05650 represents a minor resistance level now, and more interesting is 1.06050.
One possibility is that this whole situation ends up as a big SHS pattern.
In my own opinion, we are already on the road to 1.09, but as I said yesterday – lots of fundamentals are in the cards and before it all passes we should take it one day at the time.
