General market situation:
Thursday's session on European stock markets is marked by a continuation of declines. Germany's DAX is trading at its lowest levels since early July this year and is currently losing 1.2%. At the same time, France's CAC40 is losing 2%. Investors' attention turns today to GDP data from the US. In addition to macro data, incoming quarterly results of companies remain key all the time.

The German benchmark DE40 is trading nearly 1.22% lower during Thursday's session. The index is currently testing a key support level set by the 100-day EMA (purple curve on the chart). Breaking through the bottom of this zone and closing the intraday candle below could open the way to deeper declines set by the abolition of the 23.6% Fibo of the downward channel set by the upward impulse initiated in October 2023.
