DAX remains bullish against the 17624.8 pivot. The Index is currently giving us pull back in 3 waves , wave ((iv)) black. The price made 5 waves from the peak, suggesting DAX ended only first leg (a) of ((iv)) that is unfolding as Elliott Wave Zig Zag pattern. We expect DAX to make another leg down toward extreme area at 18525.23-15352.42 blue box ( buying zone). From there, DAX index should ideally make a rally toward new highs or 3 waves bounce alternatively .As our members know Blue boxes are based on 100% – 161.8% Fibonacci extension area , that we trade in 3, 7, or 11 swing corrective sequence.

Once the price touches the 50 fibs against the (b) blue connector, we’ll make positions risk-free and set the stop loss at breakeven and book partial profits. Breaking below the 1.618 Fibonacci extension level at 15352.42 would invalidate the trade.
