The German DE40 Index is attempting to retest its highs. Bulls aim to recapture the all-time high (ATH) at 22,996, while bears will seek a move below the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level and a test of the 30-day SMA at 22,663. The RSI remains unable to break the bearish divergence that began last month, as a higher high above the trendline has yet to form. Meanwhile, the MACD remains tight after a bearish crossover.
