German index launched trading near the 61.8% retracement of the upward move started at the beginning of October. DE30 continued to move higher until the advance was halted in the 15,450 pts area and the index started to pull back again. Situation is puzzling. On one hand, the index managed to bounce off the lower limit of the Overbalance structure, signalling that uptrend is still in play. On the other hand, the recovery move launched during the Asian session seems to be losing momentum. Nevertheless, as long as price sits above 15,070 pts area, technical outlook seems to favour bulls.
