DAX Futures down at the open 9970

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

Has Anyone actually see a massive bounce out a huge down candle /fail like Friday. I am expecting a smaller follow on down candle. 3-4% move into end next week - washout. It seems everyone is banking on PBOC to cut interest rates by 50basis points ...

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

I suspect we look back on this as one of the biggest stop loss / gaps runs for years - sure I assume we all expect more down into the end of the year. but seriously DAX dropped 116xx to 10050 in 2 weeks over summer...
