Key insight

26,618 ATH rejected; 26,022 holds as index awaits ECB Thursday. Break above 26,250 (Aug consolidation resistance) needed to retest highs; failure risks flush to 25,700 50-day MA.

Trading 596 pts below Aug-28 ATH of 26,618 — ECB rate decision Thursday (25 bps to 2.5% expected) and AfD Saxony-Anhalt win cloud Merz's reform agenda, capping upside.

Main risk

ECB rate decision – Sep 11

25-bps hike to 2.5% widely expected; hawkish guidance beyond Sep 11 would pressure rate-sensitive DAX names — Vonovia already -2.2% this week.
