DE40 (D1 interval)
The DAX has broken out to new historic highs. From a technical point of view, the DE40 seems to be maintaining its overall uptrend, as long as the 100-day curve (purple curve) and the 50-day curve (blue curve) are not broken on high volume, so it is worth looking now to see if the index manages to stay permanently above these zones (technically important support points). If such a scenario were to take place, it could mean an increase in the chances of a general continuation of the upward trend. However, it is worth noting the indications of the RSI indicator, which has gone above the 70 barrier (a textbook overbought level).
