Research Desk Pre-Market Briefing — Europe Session Gameplan
The continent's benchmark trio enters the session on a constructive bullish footing. Technical breakdown follows. Across the 7 instruments on our desk radar today, 7 hold bullish structure while 0 trade under bearish distribution. Benchmark bellwether DAX opens the session near 26,437.67 (+2.22%) inside the Premium Zone, while DAX (+2.22%) and FTSE (+1.79%) mark the widest overnight dispersion across the board.
Desk Gameplan for Today's Session: Rather than reacting to opening-bell noise, our focus is on how price behaves when it tests the unmitigated Bullish Order Blocks (+OB) and Bearish Supply Walls (-OB) mapped on each card below. Currently, 0 of 7 assets sit below their 50% Equilibrium baseline (Discount pricing), where institutional buyers historically step in to defend structure once a lower-timeframe Change of Character (CHoCH) confirms.

Research Desk Order Flow & Session Note
Order-flow structure on DAX 40 (DAX) (26,437.67, +2.22%) leans offered after a MSS at 25,914.11, with rallies facing institutional supply relative to the 22,554.33 equilibrium baseline.

With nearby imbalances cleared, the 26,494.61–26,618.74 supply block remains the decisive inflection zone.

Research Desk Order Flow & Session Note
On the CAC 40 (CAC) tape (8,177.89, +1.96%), structural momentum favors the bid side after a clean MSS at 7,980.99, keeping the session anchored around the 7,759.40 50% Equilibrium level.
