DE40 (D1):
The technical situation of the index is quite tense. On the 1-day interval, the price is at a crucial moment. The area around 24,320 is the lower boundary of the upward channel. Additional support for this trend is the nearby EMA 50 average. If the current upward trend fails to hold, it will likely face consolidation within the ranges of 23,500 to 24,650. Further declines may be protected by another support zone between 23,500 and 23,000, defined by local lows and additionally reinforced by the EMA 100 average.
