DAX Intraday

After the yesterday’s booring day the market tries to get up, the lower opening has been used to accumulate in the area of the daily pivot. DAX reacted very well yesterday to “weekly pivot” at 12,040, where made a quick move closing the opening gap, so this level should not be broken if the market is to continue to grow. The first local resistance of 12 110 points, its overcoming should lead to a test of the area around 12 150/60. Strong support today is 12,020.

Looking at the chart of the index power against the background of the others, it can be seen that DAX suffered the most during declines and is now the slowest to rise. The other European indices perform better, especially the French CAC40 which has already returned to zero. The strong Nikkei, which has come today to levels not seen since February this year, may translate into growth in Europe and the USA.
