The week on European stock exchanges clearly begins with gains. Most major indices in Western Europe are experiencing a solid rebound, which can be interpreted as a corrective rise following last week's declines. The German DAX, along with CAC40 and the Italian FTSE MIB, gains on opening by an average of over 1%.
Despite the lack of significant macroeconomic publications, today's session brings large price movements. It is evident that investors in Europe are again reacting mainly to events from across the ocean, but this time the sentiment is positive. Donald Trump has noticeably toned down his policy and statements regarding the trade war with China, which has significantly reduced market tension. Additionally, a certain impulse for local markets came from France, where a new government was formed at an express pace. The partial resolution of the political impasse reduces uncertainty and gives investors a small but noticeable reason for optimism.

The chart shows that after bouncing off the levels of the last ATH, the index temporarily fell below the medium- and long-term trend lines (orange and red). However, a quick breakout above them confirmed their technical significance. Currently, the quotations are in the area of the FIBO 23.6% retracement of the last upward wave - which constitutes a key point of resistance/support. To maintain a positive scenario, it is necessary to defend the resistance around 24380 points, as its breach could initiate a correction towards 24100 points. The RSI indicator remains in the moderate valuation zone, suggesting neutral sentiment.
