DE30 recovers from decline and tests 13,100 pts

11:20 13 November 2020
  • European markets recover after lower opening

  • DE30 tests 50-hour moving average

  • Deutsche Wohnen and Salzgitter reported earnings

European markets started the day lower but managed to recover in the first hours of the cash trading. There are no market moving macro releases scheduled for today so trading may be dominated by headline news. University of Michigan sentiment data for November at 3:00 pm BST could provide some additional volatility but markets expect that the reading will be more or less unchanged compared to the previous month.

DE30 started today's trading lower but managed to climb above yesterday's close in the first two hours of the cash session. The German index is facing a resistance at the 50-hour moving average (green line). Note that this moving average has provided support for the index twice during this week's bull run (orange circles) and breaking above it could hint that an attack on recent peak at around 13,250 pts is looming. Overnight low at 12,950 pts can be seen as the first near-term support to watch should we see a pullback. More important support can be found in the 12,800 pts area, where 23.6% retracement of recent upward move as well as the lower limit of the Overbalance structure can be found.
