TecDAX: German Technology should Continue Show Strength

TecDAX is a stock index which tracks the performance of 30 largest German companies from the technology sector. Even though these enterprises are of a high economic importance, their market capitalization and the book order turnover are far below of that of the DAX index. The TecDAX is related to DAX in a similar way like NASDAQ is related to Dow Jones Industrial Average index.

From technical perspective, NASDAQ has been the strongest index in the US. As a matter of fact, it has provided high rewards for those traders who were buying the dips for more upside. One of the features of the market behavior is that weak indices remain weak and strong indices remain strong. The fact that NASDAQ has been outpacing other US indices makes it a good candidate to buy it again once the indices turn higher again. Similar strong uptrend can be also seen in a behavior of TecDAX. This index, therefore, allows entering the German technology sector by providing investors and traders with high returns and protecting them, at the same time, from the defaults originating from trading of single stocks.

In the initial article from September 2020, we were calling for an extension higher within the cycle from March 2020 lows to the new highs. We were right. Now, we have ended a 1st wave of the new cycle. Current pullback should provide an opportunity for an acceleration higher.

From the top, a correction lower has unfolded as an expanded flat which has found its bottom in March 2020 at 2127.05.

From the March 2020 lows, we have broken to the new all-time highs confirming an extension in the blue wave (V). After a pullback, TecDAX should continue its rally.
