Summary:  DAX/GER40 struggling for upside momentum
AEX25/NETH25 rejected a second time at 781. Could be range bound until ASML earnings
BEL20/BELG20jumping, could reverse down trend
CAC40/FRA40 rang bound. Break out needed for direction


DAX seems to be struggling for upside momentum. DAX is above the cloud and above all daily Moving Averages but RSI is still showing negative sentiment. An Index close above 16,210 and RSI needed for confirmation of an uptrend.

IF that occurs DAX is likely to test all-time highs at 16,427.

If DAX is failing to close above 16,210 it could slow slide back to support at around 15,782

AEX25 has now closed above 777 a couple of times but seems to have problems getting higher than 781. RSI is positive suggesting higher AEX levels but a close above 781 is needed for uptrend confirmation.

A close above 781 is likely to fuel a rally to 802 possibly 830. ASML earning alter this week could be the deciding factor.
If AEX fails to break higher it could be caught range bound between 781 and 748 for quite some time.

NETH25 cfd. 781 resistance is key. Could be range bound between 781 and 748. ASML earning alter this week could be key

neth25 d 17jul

BEL20 is jumping right from the opening Monday morning trading above its upper falling trendline and above resistance at around 3,668.A that time of writing RSI is also back above 60 threshold indicating higher levels are likely. It requires the Index close s above 3,668 and RSI above 60.

However, there is some resistance around the at around 3,700 which is both around the upper part of the Cloud AND the 100 and 200 daily Moving Averages.
If BEL20 can overcome those obstacles there is upside potential to around 3,850-3,900.

If BEL20 closes below the 55  daily Moving Average currently at 3,630 and RSI fails to close above 60 the Index could resume downtrend.

CAC40 is range bound between 7,083 and 7,404. Break out is needed for direction.
A close above 7,404 could fuel a rally to 7,600

A close below 7,083 could fuel a sell-off down to around 6,900

FRA40 cfd: range bound between 7,081 and 7,424. Break out needed for direction
