DAX Crashes 9-Month Range Floor as Russia, Ukraine Crisis Deepens

 

Germany’s DAX 40 stock index punched through long-standing range support in the 14795-15046 zone, flagging what may be significant bearish escalation. The move appears to be driven by increasing angst surrounding tensions at the border between Russia and Ukraine.

The mood had been relatively upbeat at the weekly trading open as China weighed in against military action but optimism fizzled. Russian President Vladimir Putin formally recognized the independence of breakaway republics Donetsk and Luhansk in eastern Ukraine and signed a treaty of cooperation with them.

That set the stage for Russia to send troops into the contested area, in what the Kremlin called a “peacekeeping” mission. The move was promptly condemned by the European Union and the US, foreshadowing a response and setting the stage for continued instability in the region.

Sellers are testing minor support at 14406, with break below that exposing a former resistance zone now recast as support anchored at 14123. Positive RSI divergence hints that a period of digestion or perhaps even a bounce may be in the cards, however.

Any rebound from here probably needs to manage a daily close back above 15046 if selling pressure is to be neutralized in earnest. From there, overcoming the series of lower lows defined by a falling trend line set from early January could perhaps establish a genuinely constructive tone.

    • A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon Movement Network while exploring new blockchain innovations, and it completely shifted my perspective. The concept of combining Move-based security with the Ethereum ecosystem seemed ambitious, but their M2 ZK Layer 2 solution makes it feel achievable. I've always been cautious about blockchain vulnerabilities like reentrancy attacks, and the Move programming language addresses those concerns head-on. What's even better? Movement Labs makes it easier for developers by offering tools to convert Solidity scripts into Move opcodes. There is no need to rewrite entire codes. When I heard $MOVE was listed on BingX, I knew it was time to delve deeper. Right now, there's even a listing carnival where you can deposit, trade, and claim your share of 40,000 $MOVE. It’s not just about trading; it's about joining a network that’s shaping the future of blockchain with innovation and practicality
    • Solana (SOL) is making waves in December 2024, trading at $240.55, with a weekly gain of 2.42%. Despite a slight daily dip of 1.14%, the Solana crypto price has risen impressively by 3.29% over the past month, achieving a year-to-date increase of 1.9% and a stunning 29.91% quarterly gain. The current price of Solana remains near its recent all-time high of $263.83, recorded in November. Institutional interest in Solana coin price is surging, as evidenced by a 4.04% rise in derivatives Open Interest, now at $6.13 billion. Analysts attribute this growth to Solana’s scalability, low transaction costs, and expanding ecosystem of dApps and NFTs. The Sol crypto price is further supported by technical patterns like the cup and handle, which often precede upward momentum. Key support levels for the Solana price today lie at $230, with $420 projected as a potential festive season target. The Solana price now benefits from robust market fundamentals, such as strong RSI (66.11) and MACD (9.22) readings, signaling sustained buying interest. With Bitcoin nearing $100,000, alternative cryptocurrencies like Solana are poised for continued growth, making the Sol price prediction increasingly optimistic.
    • Coffee Elliott Wave Analysis Coffee has recovered from the late November sharp drop. The next breakout will see it trading at the highest prices since the 1970s. For many decades, prices have been in a $300-wide range. Is it about to break the range and reach for new highs? Daily Chart Analysis On the daily chart, the price is evolving into a double zigzag structure from the January 2023 low of $141.85. Wave ((W)) in April 2024 followed by a dip for wave ((X)) which ended in May 2024 where wave ((Y)) started. It now appears the price is upside along the path of wave (Y) of ((Y)). This shows room for more upside for buyers before a significant pullback follows. H4 Chart Analysis On the h4 chart, the price appears to have completed wave A of (Y) and perhaps wave B in early December if the current rally progresses above wave A high. Thus, the commodity will most likely advance toward $385 in the coming days. With this, a new record high should happen. Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!
