Opinion: On the index chart, a prolonged and increasing weakness of buyers can be observed. After testing and retreating from the peak twice, the price fell and reached lower peaks and greater declines twice. The gap between local peaks and FIBO 0 is widening, while the spreads between the EMA averages and MACD are decreasing, clearly signaling a decline in growth momentum. The upper Bollinger band, from which the price retreated, will also favor selling. Importantly, DE40 contracts will be subject to the phenomenon of rolling on 18.12.2025. Based on the term structure of contracts, the price may register an upward movement to around 24400, which does not negate the findings of technical analysis.

Methodology and assumptions:

• The recommendation was based on technical analysis of the chart, particularly the RSI indicator, Fibonacci levels, MACD and Bollinger Bands. 
• The target level was determined based on the possible range of correction, considering the extent of recent downward corrections and based on the FIBO 78.6 level, where the resistance zone may be strongest.
• The defensive stop loss order was based on local peaks, where retesting them could negate the correction scenario.
