TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

The German DAX posted an impressive reversal off technical resistance yesterday and a break below near-term upslope support could expose a larger shift in price. Keep in mind we still have the ECB interest rate decision on tap tomorrow morning- here are the levels to consider heading into the release.

The daily momentum signature has made a marked turn at the 60 threshold and suggests the risk remains for further losses while below the weekly highs. The pullback is now testing initial daily support at the 2015 high at 12395 with a break lower from here targeting the median-line backed by 12178. Broader bearish invalidation stands at the 12876 resistance confluence.
