EU Market Review 14th June 2021

by Elina Nikolova

DAX Futures registered new highs on June 7th 2021 reaching t0 15730.00 Despite the fact that the price action formed a doji which could indicate a reversal of the bullish trend, the market today inched to a new high at 15733.00 before returning to trade around the 15000 area. The price is also above the 50 Day moving average which in the past acted as support and may continue to do so. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) 14 period line is above the mid-50 level in bullish area and below the 70 level under the oversold territory, but it is flat indicating potential weakness.
For the bulls, important resistance at 15975.00 which is the 161.8% Fibonacci extension target, and at 16697.00 261.8% Fibonacci second extension target.
For the bears, important support at 15730 where the last high was registered, also at 15361.00 where the MA50 is standing now, and finally at 14806.00 which is the low of the last downward move derived from the bottom of May the 13th.
