Shorting DAX up here... 12164, looks like it will exhaust itself, whole move should be reversed and back to 1200x

It's just the typical manipulated, over-extended move to get people like us out with a loss before reversal..

When I say reversal, i mean of todays rally... 100+ pts or so.... volume is bearish. I think it's possible DAX is topping out around here for months to come.

Ck87,

why shall the DAX top here ? The QE XXL of the ECB is just started.
Have a look what`happend when the BoJ issued the QE program in 2012-13. The Nikkei nearly doubled.

agree, European QE is the wind that is moving the european indexes. Strong wind by the way.
The only constant is change

Agree with the rest here.

SP500 valuation, which, depending on sources ranges from an Avg PE ratio of 19.4 to 20.4.

Here are the Dax forecasts by assuming the following Average PE ratio's:
17.5: 12,653pts
20.0: 14,469pts

We also have to remember that a weakening EUR and cheaper credit will lift the Dax Forward Earnings. My first target for this year is 12,653pts; after this, I would like to see Earnings upgrades for my next target.

You would think the way it closed that there would be some profit taking today, especially given its Friday. Then again, it is the mighty Dax.

It's of course an extremely bullish market right now and way better to play long side. But something tells me we're very close to a short term top, that can correct 5-10% easily. For now most are bearish... but I tend to think if we start falling people will buy it up as it goes down against them....

I saw this on IG too, but don't see why the sentiment favours short-side.

It doesn't , it favors long side. I'm dumb for shorting yesterday.

Dax has shown in the past that it can go up +150pts in a day no problems... The EUR/USD is weakening, so this may have attracted US buyers late yesterday session. I see the EUR/USD is sub 1.067, so it may drive it to ATH in the morning session, and possibly a rally when NY opens.
