Will the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ifcmarkets.com\/en\/trading-conditions\/indices\/de30\">German DAX index<\/a> advance?<\/p>\n<p>Volkswagen stocks lost 2% on Monday while DAX index fell 1.2%. Previously the German automaker said it will appropriate 18.2bn euros to settle the \u201cdiesel scandal\u201d but the sum mainly concerned the costs in US. The lawsuit of Luxembourg is the first within the European Union. Investors worry it may be followed with other suits from European consumers. Volkswagen accounts for around 6.3% of the DAX capitalization. The campaign weighed on stock indices despite the positive economic data which came out on Monday. The factory orders in Germany for December 2016 surged and surpassed the forecasts. The manufacturing data for December will come out in Germany on Tuesday and the trade balance for December on Thursday. They may affect German stocks in case they differ a lot from expectations. The preliminary forecast is neutral in our opinion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: none;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ifcmarkets.com\/uploads\/images\/06-02-2017.png\" alt=\"DE30\" width=\"660px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"emailSummary\">On the daily chart <b>DE30: D1<\/b> is slightly correcting down having hit a 20-month high two weeks ago. Its further decline is possible in case the negative corporate and economic data came out in Europe and Germany and in case of further developments of Volkswagen diesel scandal.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"emailSummary\">\n<li>The <b>Parabolic indicator<\/b> gives bearish signal.<\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ifcmarkets.com\/en\/bolinger-bands\">Bollinger bands<\/a> have narrowed a lot which means low volatility. They are tilted downward.<\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ifcmarkets.com\/en\/ntx-indicators\/rsi\">RSI indicator<\/a> is below 50 having formed negative divergence.<\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ifcmarkets.com\/en\/ntx-indicators\/macd\">MACD<\/a> is giving bearish signals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The bearish momentum may develop in case the <b>DE30<\/b> falls below the two last fractal lows at 11500. This level may serve the point of entry. The initial stop-loss may be placed above the 20-month high, the last fractal high, the upper Bollinger band and the Parabolic signal at 11900. Having opened the pending order we shall move the stop to the next fractal high following the Parabolic and Bollinger signals. Thus, we are changing the probable profit\/loss ratio to the breakeven point. The most risk-averse traders may switch to the 4-hour chart after the trade and place there a stop-loss moving it in the direction of the trade. If the price meets the stop-loss level at 11900 without reaching the order at 11500, we recommend cancelling the position: the market sustains internal changes which were not taken into account.<\/p><div id=\"inves-954095451\" class=\"inves-in-content inves-entity-placement\"><hr style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\r\n<div id=\"inpost_ads_header\">\r\n<p style=\"font-size:10px; float:left; color:#666;\">Free Reports:<\/p><\/div>\r\n<div id=\"inpost_ads\"> \r\n<p style=\"font-size:15px; float:left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/1ApBOV\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/investmacro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/graph_techs_PD.png\" align=\"left\" width=\"80\"  height=\"55\"\/><\/a>\r\n\t     <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/1ApBOV\"><b><u>Get Our Free Metatrader 4 Indicators<\/u><\/b><\/a> - Put Our Free MetaTrader 4 Custom Indicators on your charts when you join our Weekly Newsletter<\/p><br><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<p style=\"font-size:15px; float:left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/f3RrHX\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/investmacro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/cot_pie_80.png\" align=\"left\" width=\"80\"  height=\"55\"\/><\/a>\r\n\t    <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/f3RrHX\"><b><u>Get our Weekly Commitment of Traders Reports<\/u><\/b><\/a> - See where the biggest traders (Hedge Funds and Commercial Hedgers) are positioned in the futures markets on a weekly basis.<\/p><br><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<hr style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\r\n<br><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"emailSummary\" style=\"margin-top: 15px !important;\">Summary of technical analysis<\/h2>\n<table style=\"border: solid 1px black;\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"left\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><b>Position<\/b><\/td>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\">Sell<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><b>Sell stop<\/b><\/td>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\">below 11500<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><b>Stop loss<\/b><\/td>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\">above 11900<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Market Analysis provided by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ifcmarkets.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">IFCMarkets<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By IFCMarkets &#8220;Diesel scandal&#8221; of Volkswagen may continue in Europe Luxembourg brought criminal charges against the German automaker Volkswagen as part of the \u201cdiesel scandal\u201d which previously was under way in US.
