TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

DAX tests important resistance at 11700/720 in short term overbought conditions. It should be worth trying shorts with stops above 11750. A break higher targets 11780/790 then trend line resistance and the March high at 11835/840. Shorts need stops above 11880. Next target and trend line resistance at 11930/940.

Failure to beat 11700/720 targets 11670/660 and first support at 11640/630. Below 11610 is likely to fill the gap at 11570.
