The DAX remains technically bearish below 11 923. On the 60 minute chart the downsloping fork line set still shows a significant median line and the series of lower lows and lower highs is still in play. This median line is a centre line in its own right. You can see multiple touches both from above and below the line going back to the beginning of May. But this does not mean that we should only be looking to sell. Instead it may suggest that there is a potential upside limit and allow traders to be cautious when choosing the long targets.

A break above yesterdays high opens up the opportunity for us to test 860 and beyond that 900 where there is an exposed point of control from last week. A break below 700 opens up a test of yesterdays low below that, perhaps a move towards 500.
