DAX 30: Technical levels
The January 13 high of 10,166 is capping price, while the March 13 low of 9749 is supporting it. The last important swing low and the level which defines the multi-week trend, is the March 10 low of 9397. This low was shaped on the back of the latest ECB rate meeting, and on this day the bank lowered its key interest rates and decided to expand its QE program.
Beyond the January 13 high of 10,166, the January 5 high of 10,400 is the next resistance level.
