Dow Surges to New Highs, FTSE 100 Holds Support, and DAX Struggles to Maintain Gains

Updated November 29, 2024

FTSE 100 Steadies Above Key Support

The FTSE 100 rebounded from the 8150 support zone yesterday, temporarily halting further declines. Recent gains have stalled around 8300, so a close above this level is necessary to revive a bullish outlook in the short term and potentially reach the May highs.

DAX Rally Stalls

Despite the DAX bouncing from session lows yesterday and holding above the 50-day simple moving average (SMA), it has been unable to sustain these gains. A close below the 50-day SMA would shift focus to the 100-day SMA, which provided support throughout June. Bulls need a close above 18,700 to redirect the index towards previous highs.

Dow Approaches 41,000

The Dow surged yesterday, extending the strong gains from the previous week. It now sits at a new record high, just below 41,000. While some consolidation may occur around current levels, the overall bullish trend remains intact. However, short-term weakness could retest the 40,000 level.
