German DAX– Retail traders have turned marginally net-short the GER30, which tracks the German DAX, and a contrarian view of crowd sentiment points to further near-term gains. Indeed, our data across equity market CFD’s shows retail traders remain short across the board.
It’s possible that such heavily one-sided sentiment may coincide with an important price extreme—in this case favoring a GER30 reversal lower. Yet those extremes are by definition only clear in hindsight, and until we see a substantive shift in the opposite direction we will continue to call for equity market gains.
