Dax Technical Analysis
Dax index is 1.88% higher at 12,491, as the index is trading inside the rising trend channel that started since the March lows while the move above the 200-day moving average enhanced the bullish momentum. What can cancel the positive momentum is only a break below the 200-day moving average.
On the upside, first resistance for the Dax index is at 12,516 the daily top. A move above 12,516 might challenge 12,617 the high from June 23. A break above 12,617 would open the way for 12,762 the high from June 10.
On the other hand, the initial support for the Dax 30 stands at 12,370 the daily low. If the Dax index breaks below 12,370, then the next support is at 12,156 the 200-day moving average. Sellers would take control below 12,156, and the next support area will be met at 11,955 the low from June 25.
