The DAX30 CFD has seen a weak weekly close driven by the latest news and developments on the Coronavirus. The resulting risk-off among market participants directs out focus onto the psychologically relevant level of 13,000 points.

Technically, the DAX developed a sequence of falling highs and lows after breaking below the import region of support on the Hourly chart around 13,380/400 points on Monday of last week.

After failing to recapture this region last Wednesday/Thursday after the Fed and despite market participants expecting a dovish Fed, allowing speculations to rise that the central bank will cut rates at least once in 2020 by 25 basis points with a likelihood of over 80%, gives the weak weekly close a clear sign of weakness.

If we get to see a sustainable drop below 13,000 points, the daily trend support around 12,900 points will get our attention.

A drop below that level darkens the technical picture further, then making a test of the SMA(200) and thus further losses down to min 12,500 points a possibility.

If bulls, on the other hand, regain control, a push back above 13,300 points brightens the picture again, switching the technical mode from bearish to at least neutral:
