The German DE40 Index is trading slightly below its all-time high (ATH). Bulls will aim to reclaim the record levels, while bears may target a retest of the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level. In the case of a more significant correction, the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level, which coincides with the 30-day SMA, could come into play. The RSI is diverging lower within the oversold zone, which may indicate the potential for either a correction or continued upward momentum. Meanwhile, the MACD is tightening and suggests the possibility of a bearish crossover. Source: xStation
