DAX remains below December high

The DAX has not rallied in a similar fashion to the FTSE 100 and US indices, remaining below the highs seen earlier in December.

The uptrend of the past month and of the past quarter remains intact, with further gains targeting 13,600. A drop back below 13,100 would be a negative development, potentially opening the way to a test of rising support from the December 2018 low, similar to the July selloff.
