However, after falling into a 'bear market' early last week, panic selling has temporarily subsided as investors continue to price in fundamental factors while paying attention to rising geopolitical risks. Although an element of 'risk-on' sentiment has returned to the European market, extreme price movements may likely persist as volatility remains heightened.

DAX (Germany 40) Technical Analysis:

The DAX experienced another impressive day of gains as bulls managed to temporarily drive price action above the 14,000 handle which continues to hold as critical resistance for the imminent move.

With prices currently trading between the 10 and 20-day MA (moving average) the CCI (commodity channel index) has retreated from oversold territory while Fibonacci levels continue to provide additional layers of support and resistance.
