The DAX 40 found support after Germany’s manufacturing PMI beat the consensus.
The latest rally above the 30-day moving average is a strong bullish signal. And after a brief horizontal consolidation, the index is climbing towards the key hurdle at 15700. A bullish close above this daily resistance would throw the bears off balance.
A combination of short-covering and momentum buying may heighten volatility. This is a prerequisite before the uptrend could resume. On the downside, 15400 is the immediate support in case of a pullback.
