DAX breakouts vs. follow-through this year - what's the consensus on entries?

It's not just the DAX; a lot of indices are showing similar behavior with failed breakouts. I've found waiting for a clear retest of the broken level, and seeing if it holds as support, is often a better entry than chasing the initial push.

The DAX has certainly been challenging. Many breakouts have indeed been met with quick reversals, making it difficult to hold for any real extension. It's a theme I've observed across several European indices, not just the DAX.
