DAX Xetra (cash index)

Selling pressure through European equities have really hit the DAX and the outlook has shifted significantly in the past couple of sessions.

A huge bear candle on Friday and further weakness today has broken through a series of key support at not only 12,493 but also now 12,400.

This comes with momentum indicators increasingly corrective as RSI falls below 40, MACD lines accelerate lower following a cross sell signal and the Stochastics gaining downside traction.

  • There is a gap open at 12,390 which needs filling but that means that the 12,400/12,493 range now becomes a key basis of overhead supply and resistance.

Another lower high under here would be a selling opportunity.

  • Breaking the 12,400 support effectively opens 12,104 as the next key support (June low).

Although this is clearly a volatile time on equities, but rallies are now a chance to sell as the technical suggest further downside potential.
