TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS
Coming into the week, we noted that if the Thursday break of support in the 12600/500 region was not quickly recaptured, look for further weakness. Yesterday’s 2.4% decline in the DAX has the aforementioned area in the rear-view mirror as support, and on any counter-trend trade higher it will be viewed as a material barrier of resistance.
The move down off the monthly high has been swift, and while it may be overdone in the very short-term, there is still more room to go before new support levels are met. There are two lines/levels in focus: the February 2016 trend-line and the April 5 gap-fill at 11958.
