Been following this thread for a while now...

I reckoned last week the DAX would bounce around the 11.000 mark but it's getting a brutal beating. Now I'm not so sure that we've seen the ultimate lows, though it's staged a remarkable morning recovery from 10200 to 10400 (which seems a hard ceiling to crack atm).

Looking at it from a fundamental point of view, the 3 large car manufacturers seemed to be the major drags on the DAX as China kept churning out disappointing data.

Would buyers find the 10000 mark a good time to buy because German data remains robust, as seems the case today? Or would it go for panic mode with the Chinese slowdown?

My guess is that they brought it up before they go to lunch. Will fall back a bit during lunch hour and then maybe trade in the middle (high of day and low of day) before US markets open. opened up another short at 10,400 just now

This one played out nicely today. Selling the pops. Friday when week was bloody and all Asian markets closed in the red. You have US futures down and the DAX earlier 10,430 which made no sense other then to lure in suckers to buy at those inflated levels but they created great short entry positions. Now that we are at roughly 10,300 I would not open up any new positions for day trading.

Your target price for today has a very high chance of hitting. Friday and no one in Germany wants to head into their weekend holding shares after this bloodbath they saw this week. I reckon we see 10,200 some time before closing today.

It seems the DAX is waiting for the US PMI for a definitive direction, currently stuck in the (10270)--10290-10310--(10330) range. But stylinex is right, could be some traders will cash in on their positions for the weekend after a hellish week.

A positive PMI could give 40-50 positive points but seems all the gains today are really flimsy, better to hold on to tight SL values.

Looks like Wall street might be about to start rallying from around 780?

DJIA is indeed rallying and the DAX is dragging its feet. Perhaps there will be some bigger price action after the Europe closing time. Should watch for that 10330 resistance level that's been hit a few times earlier this afternoon.

Dax never drags its feet for long once DJ starts rallying which is why I dropped a warning as I know people were short the Dax going into the NY open.

The floor's the limit, only thing is, there isn't one. Only thing that might save it is a double bottom, otherwise it's 40, a price below which many producers have said they'll stop pumping.

The DAX gets hammered after that very brief PMI rally.

We'll have to see if China has a few surprise announcements to make during the weekend. But given their dysmal record of measures that added to fears instead of calming markets, I'm a bit sceptical. All eyes will be on them next week.

And what's really significant for me is that the Weekly 100sma that held the Dow this morning has been broken by 350 pips - now we are into free fall territory.

Other European indices are also just a few sessions from erasing all gains YTD, been quite a downturn in 2 weeks, more so than the Greek crisis.

When the dust settles I do expect a bounce back, for the moment European fundamentals are still positive, albeit not in optimal condition for strong growth. But yeah, for now, it's all bets off.
