Quotations for few days remain closed in a narrow range, creating a triangle that, after an upward boost from the beginning of the week, favors bulls. On the opening of today’s session, the DAX is located above the 12.370 point and key volume support. From above, the first local resistance is S1 – 12 395, which coincides with the upper limit of the triangle, its forcing will mean test of 12 420.
Looking at the daily interval you can see that the price is already a step from the broken support zone 12 450-12 480, which now should serve as a resistance, but for now, a positive sequence of white candles is continued, so bulls can feel safe up to 12,300 points.
