European stock markets trade lower

DE30 drops below lower limit of Overbalance structure
-
Infineon launched new chip production facility in Austria
European stock markets are trading lower at the beginning of a new week. Situation in the Chinese real estate sector remains the main source of concern and potential spillover effects create a big risk for international markets. Major indices from Europe trade 1-2% lower today and current situation on the US futures markets point to a similarly poor opening of the cash session on Wall Street.

Concerns over possible corporate defaults in the Chinese real estate sector are the main triggers behind a sell-off today. German DAX (DE30) is no exception with index trading 2% lower at press time. Taking a look at DE30 at a daily interval (D1), we can see that the index is experiencing one of the worst one-day sell-offs in weeks. The index finished last week's trading near 100-session moving average (red line) but selling resumed at the beginning of a new week. Given that the index dropped below the lower limit of the market geometry near 15,200 pts. In case DE30 finishes the day below this area, technical outlook will become more bearish. In such a scenario, 23.6% retracement and 200-session moving average (purple line) in the 14,900 pts area will serve as the next support to watch.
