DE30 dropped below the 13,250 pts support zone, marked with the lower limit of the Overbalance structure, today. In theory, such a development marks a short-term trend reversal. However, declines were halted slightly below this zone so far and the index may still be able to climb back above it by the end of the day. Having said that, it is better to wait for a confirmation on the D1 interval before using such a signal. Should declines continue, support levels to watch are marked with limits of a short-term trading range from mid-November - 13,050 and 13,150 pts.
