DE40 (D1 interval)
The DAX broke above the 50-day exponential moving average (blue curve on the chart) a few days ago and tested another important resistance point, which was the local top of the session consolidation zone from the beginning of the second half of November. From a technical point of view, the DE40 appears to maintain its overall uptrend until the 100-day curve (purple curve) is broken on high volume, so it is worth looking now to see if the index manages to stay above this zone permanently. If such a scenario were to take place, it could mean an increase in the chances of a general continuation of the upward trend. On the other hand, staying between the previously mentioned exponentials may encourage the bearish side to break them and initiate a deeper downward correction.
