DE40 is trading nearly 0.4% higher during Wednesday's session. The index broke above the key resistance level set by the 50-day EMA (blue curve on the chart). Breaking through this zone could, in theory, open the way for further increases towards the historical peaks at 19,000 points. On the other hand, however, it is worth bearing in mind that the scale of the recent rebound is sizable, which may lead investors to book some of the gains. In this aspect, a relatively important support zone may be the previously mentioned 50-day EMA and 100-day EMA (purple curve on the chart). Source: xStation
