DAX30 bulls losing steam, but still in charge of the action – for now

While the start into the week will probably be a bit slow in Equities given the US bank holiday “Memorial Day” (modified trading hours for Monday, May 25 can be found here), it still makes a lot of sense to give the DAX30 a close look with an eye on the upcoming days.

While the German DAX30 began with massive gains last week, driven by the comments from Fed chairman Powell on CBS’ “60 Minutes” and Merkel’s and Macron’s proposal of a 500 billion EU recovery fund that would offer grants to European Union regions and sectors hit hardest by the coronavirus pandemic, the German index lost some of its bullishness into the last weekly close.

In fact, on H1 a bearish divergence developed in the RSI(14), pointing to at least some diminishing bearish momentum.

Indeed, one could consider this divergence as confirmed after the drop below 11,000 points and now opening further bearish potential as low as 10,500/550 points in the days to come.

If DAX bulls can on the other hand re-capture 11,000 points and the bullish momentum continues over the next days, a break above the April highs around 11,350 points makes a re-test of the SMA(200) around 12,000/050 points a realistic option.
