The worst result was a new component in DAX – Wirecard, dropping as much as 14.19% and SAP lost 4.90%. The total number of losing companies outnumbered the number of gains listed on the stock exchange from 592 to 123.
DAX Intraday
DAX reached yesterday’s most-advanced destination in both daily and weekly S3. The increase in volatility raises the problem of widely spaced pivot lines at today’s session. Nevertheless, the sellers did not stop before erasing the first S1 support point slightly above 11,500 points at the start of trading. This otherwise round level can stop the falls for some time. Directional point for today over 200 points higher, next S2 support only at 11,370.
According to a weekly survey conducted by Xetra, among institutional investors, the percentage of bulls increased by 19% and bears dropped by 19%. This translates into 55% of optimists, 27% of pessimists and 18% of investors outside the market. Thus, it can be seen that with the drop of as many as 420 points during the week, institutional investors are beginning to look more optimistically at the market, sentiment increased by 38 points, in contrast to the so-called “Street”.
