11:39 AM 28 May 2025

On Wednesday, the stock markets are experiencing a moment of pause and cooling of both optimistic and pessimistic moods ahead of the FOMC Minutes and the Nvidia quarterly report. However, slight declines prevail at the moment. The German DAX is currently losing 0.32%, while the French CAC40 is losing 0.1% and the British FTSE 100 is down 0.2%. The DE40 contract is losing, although it is still hovering close to its all-time high (ATH), maintaining a dynamic upward trend.

The German DE40 index is retesting its all-time high (ATH) and maintaining a dynamic upward trend set by exponential moving averages. The most important support point in the near term remains the 50-day EMA (blue line on the chart). As long as it is not broken, it seems that the upward trend is unwavering. It is worth noting, however, that the 14-day RSI indicator is hovering around 70 points, which from a technical perspective could be considered a textbook overbought. Source: xStation
