DAX Intraday
There is no trace left after attemps to save the situation from the final stage of the session, , DAX opens at Tuesday’s minimum and sell-off continues . However, it has a clearly weaker character (yesterday there were 11 bearish candles in a row), the players decide to sell, who stayed with the shares overnight or were hoping to continue of the rebound. Nevertheless, local support S1 and weekly support S2 – 12,120 are in close proximity. The DP is quite high, just like the other lines at 12,260.
The situation of Siemens, which is the largest component in DAX (over 10%), is also quite disturbing. The growth correction was rickety here and in no way changed the balance of power. The rate is moving away from the broken 200-day average and on the horizon is already August’s low – 109 euros, its permanent break can “help” in finding the direction of the index.
