Chart reading explained

Today's chart of the DAX - before opening of US markets after a holiday - we need to learn a principle of reading the chart.

First - a LONG candle in a time slot is important to see how the price will proceed. In my case I am looking at the 30m chart.
We are watching the start and see a very long candle in the 30m chart.



The LEARNING:
Price needs to get back to the middle of the long candle. (See chart's yellow circle).
As long as we do NOT see a rebound to the middle of the yellow circle (half of the candle) - we will not see a reversal of the price. Means the direction will not turn and increases speed...

For today that means: further short! (13:11)

Today's goal

The goal didn't fit into the plan.
But still some good points within a very strange week.

So my line of TP is on the base of FIBO @ 15444.
We are not sure if this can be reached.

At least this very aggressive week was not red.

Happy Weekend to all
GFIs1

edit Sa 07:00 - after hours the DAX killed the 15444 mentioned above
