Research Desk Order Flow & Session Note
On the DAX 40 (DAX) tape (26,330.05, -0.41%), overhead supply continues to cap relief bounces after a MSS at 25,914.11 around the 22,531.71 50% Equilibrium threshold. Active Bearish Order Block (-OB) supply is defending 26,494.61–26,618.74, leaving downside liquidity exposed toward the 24,556.78–24,724.34 demand zone. With nearby imbalances cleared, the 26,494.61–26,618.74 supply block remains the decisive inflection zone. Session Follow-Up: Sellers defended overhead supply throughout the session; staying below 25,866.73 preserves the drawdown trajectory toward 26,645.11.
