Where next for the German Dax?
The Dax pushed above the upper band of the multi-month ascending channel in early April and continues to hold above it, although momentum has slowed considerably.
The Dax trades just above its 50 & 100 SMA on the 4 hour chart and the bullish MACD keeps the buyers hopeful.
Bulls need a move above 15370, in order to put a fresh attempt on the all time high of 15515 and further gains.
On the flip side, sellers will be looking for a break below 15150 for a deeper selloff.

Immediate support can be seen at today’s low 90.40, beyond here the sellers could look to break down ascending trendline support dating back to early January at 90.25 ahead of the 90.00 the round number. A clearance here could bring the year to date low of 89.20 into focus.
On the upside, the confluence of the descending trendline support and the 100 SMA could prove a tough nut to crack at 91.00 ahead of resistance at 91.6 the 50 SMA.
