ETF inflows and easing geopolitical risk as index faces sustained pressure

Recent news confirmed that the DAX closed with gains following developments in the Middle East that eased investor concerns, though it remained below the 23,000-point mark. Major DAX ETFs, such as iShares Core DAX and Amundi Core DAX, recorded moderate price increases in recent trading sessions. The index composition of 40 leading German companies remained unchanged with no reported structural or regulatory actions, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees persistent weakness in the DAX Index. He notes the index remains well below its key moving averages, reflecting deep negative momentum. Technical indicators and momentum oscillators confirm a strong selling bias. Market sentiment is weak despite fleeting relief from geopolitical news. "Traders should remain cautious given the solid technical breakdown and absence of any bullish signals at this stage."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, observes encouraging signs in the underlying market resilience. He highlights how easing Middle East tensions have stabilized investor sentiment and supported DAX ETFs. The unchanged index composition and lack of regulatory headwinds suggest the bullish structure remains intact. "Further growth is expected once external pressures fade, so market participants should watch for a breakout above 23,635 to confirm renewed upside momentum."

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, takes a scenario-based approach to the DAX’s current price action. He sees consolidation likely within the 22,303.00–22,979.25 band given existing volatility. Mehta points out that persistent downside momentum makes patience essential, but sharp reversals can offer tactical opportunities. "A decisive move above 23,635 would signal a potential short-term reversal, and aggressive traders may consider contrarian setups if momentum shifts."

Persistent downside bias as all technical indicators flag seller control

DAX is currently trading below its 20-day (23,646.67), 50-day (24,392.84), and 200-day (24,121.05) moving averages, indicating persistent pressure from sellers across all timeframes. The nearest dynamic resistance sits at the Ichimoku Kijun level of 23,635.78, while immediate support is limited and pricing remains vulnerable beneath key averages. Momentum signals are negative, with both the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and Average Directional Index (ADX) on daily timeframes confirming a downward bias and trend weakness. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), Stochastic RSI, and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) all remain in or near oversold territory, flagging elevated downside pressure. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) indicates sellers‘ domination in intraday momentum and registers an "oversold" signal. The Awesome Oscillator (AO) also supports the bearish tone. The index declined by 383.58 points or 1.67% today, opening with a sizeable downside gap of about 244 points and trading near the session lows. Intraday volatility stands at 1.20%, pointing to persistent selling pressure throughout the session. All technical and intraday momentum indicators confirm a strongly negative short-term tone, with no significant divergence across oscillators.

the DAX Index was exhibiting persistent bearish momentum with limited signs of technical reversal. The latest analysis reinforces this outlook, suggesting traders should closely monitor the 22,303 support level as a breach could trigger a new round of downside risk.
