Looking at the Dax 40 chart, the price looks bullish, trading above the 200 intraday EMA. This move is backed by price breaking above the high of the previous trading day. While the price is currently testing the resistance zones, we are expecting price to slowly break and close above these levels to sustain its bullishness.
