German 40 Price Outlook: Bearish Pressure Pushes Dax to Solid Support

DAX Price Index Technical Analysis

Dax prices have recently been trading sideways, struggling to break in either direction. While prices have maintained strong bullish momentum at the start of the year, key technical levels have come back into play.

The daily chart below illustrates the manner in which the two Fibonacci’s from historical moves has helped provide support and resistance for price action. With a zone of confluency forming between 15296 and 15323, the formation of hanging man candle and a rejection of 15500 could place additional pressure on bulls.

With a rising wedge from the 2022 October low showing a strong rebound that drove Dax prices over 30% over the past four months has run into major resistance at the daily high of 15500.

Since the beginning of February, this level has helped limit the bullish move, causing the CCI (commodity channel index) to fall. While prices traded relatively flat, the CCI continued lower, falling toward oversold territory.

If prices fall below 15296 (support), a break below 15200 could fuel a bearish breakout. Meanwhile, with the recent data solidifying a higher probability for additional rate hikes this year, fundamental factors will likely assist in driving the next move.
