Index quickly recovered above the resistance zone marked with 38.2% retracement and continued to gain. A test of the resistance zone marked with 50% retracement (14,100 pts area) can be observed at press time. Next target will be dependent on reaction to this hurdle. A break above would pave the way for a test of the 61.8% retracement in the 14,300 pts area while failure to break above may result in a pullback to the aforementioned 38.2% retracement (13,900 pts area). German index has been very reactive to retracements of the April-May correction therefore they are investors' best guess for potential turning points.
