Technical Analysis – GER 30 index recovers a little; negative risks remain

Posted on October 22, 2020 at 2:37 pm GMT

Germany 30 stock index (Cash) looks to be fading further despite recently finding footing at the 12,339 level. Painting a deteriorating picture are the negatively charged Ichimoku lines, one of which has capped additional progress from the price bounce.

The short-term oscillators display the recent price gains but also consider a stall in [..]

Germany 30 Index’s (Cash) bounce on the 11,588 level, that being the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the down leg from 13,826.27 to 7,961, appears to have hit a ceiling at the 76.4% Fibo of 12,444.
