The DAX broke out for 1 session and gave it all back by Monday lunch — I sell the bounce, and the drop pays 369 points.

LAST WEEK, HERE → "Sell 25,510, out on a daily settle above 25,634, TP1 25,178, paid at 24,925–24,886."

It was a loss: the sell filled on Tuesday, the drop stalled at 25,237, 59 points short of TP1, and Friday settled 121 points through the out for minus 340 points, so the map was simply wrong.

Last week's Take →

THE SETUP: SHORT

Last week ended a run of 6 straight lower weekly highs: Friday ran from 25,538 to 25,827, and the week settled at 25,755, 422 points over its open.

Monday handed Friday back by 11:05 CET, dropping 282 points from a 25,718 open to a 25,436 low, and it trades at 25,455, 83 points under Friday's low.

This week's average money sits at 25,538, on Friday's low to the point, so every contract bought in Friday's 289-point range is underwater.
