DAX Why today resembles the 2018 Bear Cycle.Germany 40TRADENATION:DE40TradingShotDAX (DE40) failed to break last month above its 2026 Resistance and make new All Time Highs (ATH) and because of that it remains under pressure. Until it does make a new ATH, DAX's price action since Q4 2025 is very similar to the 2018 Bear Cycle. With identical 1D RSI sequences among the two fractals, both patterns started off with a 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) rebound that led the market to a new ATH and then a strong correction to touch exactly the 1W MA100 (red trend-line), form a 1D Death Cross and rebound. As mentioned, we are currently on the phase below the Resistance. In 2018 that phase initiated a new prolonged decline that broke even below the 1W MA200 (black trend-line) and on a -24.45% total decline, marginally broke below the 1.786 Fibonacci extension from the 1W MA100 Low. This time the 1W MA200 is considerably lower than the 1W MA100, so unless we see a strong crash, the index should decline more gradually towards the end of the year and potentially test the 1W MA200 above both the 1.786 Fib ext and the -24.45% 2018 measurement. As a result, we are expecting DAX to hit at least its 1W MA100 again at 22800. If it closes a 1W candle below it, then we can see a full Bear Cycle extending all the way to the 1W MA200 at 20000. --- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!
