Germany's benchmark DE40 is up nearly 0.3% during today's session. The index continues to remain in the structure of the downtrend initiated on May 16. The continuation of the downward trend led to the testing of a historically important support level in the zone of the 100-day exponential moving average (purple curve on the chart, all the time it remains a key support point). Locally, the most important resistance all the time remains the zone of the 50-day exponential moving average (blue curve). Source: xStation 5
