FTSE 100 targets 7,710 to 7,769 region
The FTSE 100’s recovery from Wednesday’s 7,596 low looks to be impulsive with the early February high at 7,710 in sight. Further up sits the 7,750 to 7,769 resistance area which consists of the December-to-February peaks. The 23 February high at 7,717 needs to be exceeded for the 7,750 to 7,769 region to be reached, though.
Minor support sits at Friday’s intraday low at 7,660 ahead of the 55-day simple moving average (SMA) at 7,639.

DAX 40 on track for sixth record high in a row
The DAX 40 index seems to be unstoppable as it rallies to yet another record high around the 17,800 mark as the latest earnings season showed that European stocks remain undervalued compared to their American counterparts with regards to Price-to-Earnings (PE) ratios. This has attracted further investment in Europe’s largest economy and its stock market. Minor support is seen along the accelerated uptrend line at 17,628.
Above the current record high lies the 18,000 region.

While this week’s low at 17,791 underpins, the medium-term uptrend will remain intact.
