The German benchmark DE40 is trading nearly 0.80% higher during Monday's session and is currently testing a key support level set by the 50-day EMA (blue curve on the chart). A dynamic breakthrough of these zones could theoretically open the way for further declines towards the 100-day EMA. The key resistance point, on the other hand, remains the local peak in the 19,000-point zone and the zone of Friday's peak near 19,630 points. Source: xStation
