GER30 Views For this period Fisrtly the GER 30 continues to gain with resistance clearedSecondly Prior resistance looked to as support until upside objectives are achievedtherdly Waiting German employment data better or worse than expectedWe see that GER30 continues to maintain above the 10000/100 vicinity, an area which has held importance for several months now. On Friday and Monday, the market was able to tack on further gains above a trend-line of minor importance off the November 2015 swing high.The hurdling of these levels converts them from areas viewed as resistance into areas we will look to as support on any decline which should unfold. The 10100/000 is most critical, but a back-side retest of the broken trend-line (~10200) will be eyed as the first spot to look for a higher low to develop.If the recent trend of strengthening global risk appetite can continue, then a push towards our next levels of resistance is likely to unfold in the not-too-distant future. The April 21 peak at 10486 is the next level of contention, and just a short distance above there is the trend-line running off the April 2015 record highs, passing over the November 2015 swing higher mentioned earlier.
