DAX Bulls Fire 24,000-Point Rocket – Nvidia Looms

Brilliant Comeback: DAX Bulls Ignite the 24,000-Point Rocket!


What a breathtaking start to the week! Initially, everything pointed towards another painful plunge southwards, but the risk-taking DAX bulls sensed their big chance. With massive buying, they mercilessly whipped the leading index higher, transforming the false start into an explosive price fireworks display. With a powerhouse gain of 1.49%, the barometer catapulted to 24,307.92 points, impressively leaving the psychologically essential 24,000 mark in the dust. The crucial fuel for this rally: red-hot rumors about possible new peace negotiations in the escalating Iran war! Should this geopolitical ray of hope actually be confirmed, the stock markets are facing a massive, liberating upward impulse that could pulverize the lingering nervousness in one fell swoop.

Fresenius Celebrates Daily Victory—SAP on the Verge of a Massive Turnaround?


At the individual stock level, investors experienced a veritable bull fest on Monday. Fresenius Medical Care secured the undisputed daily victory with a brilliant price premium of 2.4%, closely followed by the consumer goods giant Henkel (+2.1%). But the real focus of professional investors lay on the DAX heavyweight SAP! After a brutal dry spell, massive hope is finally sprouting again for Europe's most valuable software group. Since the presentation of the latest quarterly figures, market participants are once again placing deep trust in the stock. The dangerous downward momentum has been stopped, and from a chart-technical perspective, a rock-hard bottom is forming. If the final liberating blow succeeds here, it will inevitably add further fuel to the entire leading index!

Hour of Truth: Will Nvidia Jitters Destroy the DAX Recovery?


After the gigantic recovery rally, the DAX is facing the ultimate test today, Tuesday. The market environment remains a highly explosive minefield: the latent tensions in the Middle East and exploding oil prices hang like a sword of Damocles over investor sentiment. Since there is no market-moving economic data on the calendar today, the panicked gaze is ruthlessly directed across the Atlantic. On Wall Street, pure jitters are running rampant ahead of the quarterly figures from the AI giant Nvidia! Can the absolute driver of the tech boom still meet these astronomical expectations? This toxic uncertainty could hit Europe with full force in the afternoon—the utmost caution is advised with technology stocks! From a technical perspective, the game plan for buyers is crystal clear: the index must absolutely distance itself as far as possible from the 24,000-point mark. In the event of profit-taking, the rock-solid support zones at 24,300 and, at the very latest, 24,150 points must hold at all costs!
