The German DE40 Index is retesting its previous high after making ATH yesterday, yet it remains above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level and the 50-day SMA—both acting as key support zones. Bulls will look to maintain momentum above recent highs to confirm the breakout, while bears may attempt to drive the index below those levels, with the 50-day SMA as a near-term target. The RSI is easing just below overbought territory, indicating a potential cooldown in bullish momentum. Meanwhile, the MACD is beginning to narrow, signaling caution as buying pressure may be losing steam. Source: xStation
