M30 chart
The lower time frame shows that the DE30 had fallen around 270 points (-1.7%) after breaking out of this week's sideways range (purple rectangle). The two rebounds of the above mentioned retracement (see circle) could indicate that the price is stabilizing. The 38.2% retracement and the local high (15,719 points) now determine the short-term trading range.
