Market Context
Overall DAX risk appetite, estimated from price action and breadth. Colour = the read: green = risk-on/bullish, amber = mixed, red = risk-off/bearish. Bar = how pronounced the reading is.
DAX Sentiment
Squeeze, late buyers
Index options put/call balance. Heavy puts = hedging/fear; light puts = complacency. Colour: green = light hedging (constructive), amber = balanced, red = heavy protection (defensive). Bar = strength of the signal.
Put-Call
Balanced, slight hedging
Shape of the VIX futures curve (VIX9D vs 30-day VIX), computed from live data. Contango (front below spot) = calm; flat or inverted = near-term fear. Colour: green = calm contango, amber = flat, red = inverted/stress. Bar = stress level.
VIX Term Structure
Contango, calm
European equity volatility read (VSTOXX-style; proxied from VIX and price action, since live VSTOXX is unavailable). Colour: green = calm/risk-on (supportive for DAX), amber = mid, red = elevated stress. Bar = strength of the signal.
Euro Vol
Contained but watchful
DAX-40 participation - how broad it is. Colour: green = broad/strong, amber = mixed, red = narrow/weak. Bar = strength of the signal.
Breadth
Narrow, cyclicals lag
Session Playbook
Bull Case
| Order | Buy Limit |
| Entry | 25742-25766 |
| Stop | 25650 |
| TP1 | 25879 |
| TP2 | 26004 |
Only a controlled pullback into 25754 earns a long; chasing near highs gives away edge before the US print.
Bear Case
| Order | Sell Limit |
| Entry | 25966-25990 |
| Stop | 26082 |
| TP1 | 25853 |
| TP2 | 25728 |
Fade 25978 if buyers stall; topping conditions and weak cyclicals make failed highs vulnerable.
