DE40 (D1 chart)
The DAX has tested the 50- and 100-session exponential moving averages (orange and black colors on the chart) several times since November 2023. Currently, the stock has settled below the EMA100, but by the long lower shadows of the candles it is clear that the market is trying to 'pick' the decline. The last two sessions have brought positive buying volume, but it is still not equivalent to the previous two, indicating net selling.
