Tech Explosion on Wall Street: Will the DAX Ignite the All-Time High Rocket Now?
After the breathtaking price fireworks on Whit Monday, the DAX bulls treated themselves to a well-deserved breather on Tuesday. While the German leading index consolidated its massive gains and ended trading with a moderate minus of 0.8%, events were moving at a breakneck pace on Wall Street! Driven by the gigantic semiconductor and renewable energy boom, the U.S. technology exchange Nasdaq pulverized the historic sound barrier of 30,000 points. The fact that the classic Dow Jones slipped slightly into the red isn't bothering the tech euphoria at all right now. German market participants are using this phase to recharge their batteries. The all-important question on the trading floor now is: Will the next explosive breakout follow as early as today, Wednesday, catapulting the DAX unstoppably towards its all-time high?
Geopolitical Poker: Will the Longed-For Peace Deal Push Oil Below $90?
Fundamentally, investors' panicked gazes continue to be ruthlessly directed at the Middle East. The negotiations between the U.S. and Iran resemble a highly explosive poker game. Since new, toxic status reports were completely absent on Tuesday, the market is clinging tenaciously to the blazing hope of an imminent peace deal and the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz! This unshakable optimism is having a massive effect: The price of Brent crude oil is stubbornly holding just below the psychologically crucial $100 mark. Should the final diplomatic breakthrough actually be announced here in the coming days, the oil price is threatened with an unprecedented plunge towards $90—a gigantic liberating blow that would give the DAX monumental tailwind!
Continental Defies the Selling Pressure: Does the "Inside Bar" Expose Hidden DAX Strength?
Amidst this highly exciting consolidation phase, one DAX stock proved it has absolute nerves of steel: Continental! The automotive supplier sovereignly defied the general market weakness, secured the undisputed daily victory with a premium of 0.7%, and relegated Deutsche Bank and Deutsche Telekom (+0.5% each) to the back seats. Meanwhile, from a charting perspective, all alarm bells are ringing for professional investors—but in a positive sense! The DAX formed an absolutely picture-perfect "inside bar" on Tuesday. This rock-hard flatbase correction is a massive warning signal to all short sellers. The bears simply failed to push the index down significantly. This impressive intrinsic strength unmistakably indicates that the bulls are only waiting for the perfect moment to resume the gigantic upward momentum with full force!
