GER40 levels: Support at around 14,400 and 13,694. To neutralize the downtrend a close above 15,276 is needed. Above 15,707 it is reversed.

EuroStoxx 50 is testing support at around 4,025 and the lower part of the cloud at 4,012. 100 daily MA is providing support too. However, trend is down and a close below 4,012 is likely to fuel another sell off down to around 3,800.
A close above 4,189 will put Stoxx50 in neutral.
