Germany's benchmark DE40 is down nearly 1.1% in today's session. The index continues to remain in the structure of the downward trend initiated on May 16. The continuation of the downward trend led to the testing of a historically important support level in the zone of the 100-day exponential moving average (purple curve on the chart, all the time it remains a key support point). Locally, the most important resistance all the time remains the zone of the 50-day exponential moving average (blue curve). The DE40 index has currently broken out below this zone. Source: xStation
Interestingly, a test of the zones of the previously mentioned 100-day EMA brought a clear activation on the volume side. This may indicate that we have seen a lot of activation by institutional investors in this zone. Source: xStation 5
