DAX Intraday
On Monday the DAX keeps an upward trend, in the morning it reflects from the directional point and the monthly pivot is slightly above 12 600 points. The index maintains the level of equality of bearish corrections, on Friday it rebounded from 12.575 and today in this area there is local support S1, so bulls can still feel safe on the stock. If the level of defence is breached, the next stop point should be 12 520 points, a narrow but important resistance zone defends from the top 12655/66.
DAX Longterm
Looking at the higher interval, the two-day drops are part of the correction pattern on the German market and in an optimistic variant, we should not see a move below Thursday’s minimum. However, the price stays in the broad 200-session MA range, which may suggest the prolonged side trend, from the top we have a resistance zone resulting from the June bearish gap: 12,720/60.
