Selling short in upward momentum. Topping around 14200. Selling pressure will increase due to the German import prices which stands at 31.2% in March, highest in 48 yrs and above market expectations. Take into account that there is an possibility that an announcement will take place in the upcoming days from Gazprom about gas deliveries to Germany are about to set on hold for May~. In that case things may start plunge in rapid pace, which is positive on the risk reward ratio.

France to ''continue paying'' for gas in euros, dollars - minister --> Politicians don't want to understand that Russia has Europe by the balls. Huge long term downward risk, as Europe is at merci of Russia regarding deliveries of gas. Any negative announcement by Russia regarding deliveries of gas to Europe could plunge markets in rapid pace.

The dax still fighting the 14000 area and holding tight to the 50-EMA on the 4 hour chart. Downward pressure remains. Like to see a closing candle crossing below the 13850 which could trigger a rally to 13500

Keep in mind that the ruble is now also backed by gold since March 8. RUB5,000 for a gram of gold. The main goal of these moves is to try to ensure the credibility of the ruble by making it more desirable in the forex market and to influence the dollar which is used to trade for international goods.

United States Treasury yields increased further on Thursday after the decline sparked by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's remarks ended.
코멘트:
I took some profit around 13620 my first profit target for this week. The rest of my positions I'm holding towards 13000, which will give insight into the coming week. Any soft top between the 13800-14000 area can be shorted with a stop loss above the 14100 which give a good risk/reward ratio.

I closed a second position at 13560 because if you have a look on the 30 min chart the price held 13541. In the afternoon we might see a price above the 13620-13680+. Just have a look for another short entry or when the falls below the 13530 we could see a further sell off
