Price movement AEX Index

It's Friday, March 22, and the AEX stands at 874 in the morning, 17 points higher than a week ago.

The AEX has been dancing around the initial target of 875 for a few weeks. In week 10, the index shot up to 872 on good news from the Tech sector, only to fall back to 851. Then, last week, the news came that many investors had been waiting for. The FED announced, that it would lower the interest rate to around 4.6% this year. Currently, the main interest rate is 5.5%. This means we have already received all the good news, that was in the air for now. The AEX then set a new high this week at 876.

What is the expected trend for the AEX Index?

In addition to fundamental factors, our algorithm suggests that we can expect a new top slightly higher than the current one. The initial target from the current level is 890, with a high probability that the AEX will first correct to 866.

Once we reach 890, the exit scenario will come into play, and the algorithm will seek an optimal point to close the ongoing long position. The possibility of a larger correction increases around 890. This correction could be significant and, will ultimately pave the way for the ultimate target of 920.

For now, the technical expectation for the AEX is a slight correction, a maximum of up to 866. Then, a rise towards the target of 890, followed by sharp timing for the exit.
