Analysis
The Euro Stoxx 50 trades at 6,135 (+0.22%), remaining below key SMAs (SMA20: 6,210, SMA50: 6,316) but above the rising SMA200 (6,103), indicating mixed signals. The RSI-14 at 39 suggests moderate bearish momentum. Resistance levels are noted at 6,200 (R1), 6,369 (R2), and 6,538 (R3), while support lies at 5,975 (S1), 5,729 (S2), and 5,438 (S3). Three bearish double-top patterns (57%, 50%, 50% confidence) suggest potential downside. Descending trendlines reinforce resistance near 6,190 (20-day) and 6,263 (50-day), with support at 5,995 (20-day) and 6,013 (50-day). The index faces headwinds but retains a critical floor at SMA200. A break below 5,975 could accelerate selling pressure

Analysis
The DAX 40 trades at 25,274, down 0.12%, with the RSI-14 neutral at 50, indicating no immediate overbought or oversold conditions. The index remains below the SMA50 (25,658) but above the SMA20 (25,263) and SMA200 (24,878), suggesting mixed near-term sentiment. Resistance levels are seen at 25,497 (R1), 25,900 (R2), and 26,596 (R3), while support lies at 24,731 (S1), 24,171 (S2), and 23,523 (S3). Multiple bearish double-top patterns (50-91% confidence) signal potential downside pressure. Short-term trendlines show descending support at 24,742 (20d) and 24,439 (50d), with resistance at 25,712 (20d) and 25,616 (50d). The technical setup leans cautious, requiring a break above SMA50 to shift bias.

Analysis
The CAC 40 trades at 7,851, up 0.16%, but remains below key moving averages (SMA20: 7,898; SMA50: 8,148; SMA200: 8,216), signaling persistent bearish pressure. The RSI-14 at 44 reflects neutral-to-weak momentum. A cluster of Double Top patterns (50-95% confidence) reinforces downside risks, with immediate resistance at R1 (7,984) and support at S1 (7,826). Descending trendlines further cap upside near 7,936–7,948, while lower supports converge around 7,500–7,557. The index’s failure to reclaim the SMA20 suggests limited bullish conviction. A break below S1 could accelerate declines toward S2 (7,705), whereas surpassing R1 is needed to challenge the bearish structure.

Analysis
The FTSE 100 trades at 10,713, down 0.19%, as bearish pressure persists near key resistance levels. The index remains above its SMA20 (10,632) but struggles to hold above the SMA50 (10,709), while the RSI-14 at 60 suggests moderate bullish momentum. A cluster of Double Top patterns (93%, 82%, and 56% confidence) signals potential downside risk, with immediate resistance at 10,892 and support at 10,653. The 20-day trendline support (ascending, 10,397) contrasts with the 50-day descending resistance (10,885), indicating near-term consolidation. A break below 10,653 could accelerate declines toward 10,372, while a sustained move above 10,892 may invalidate bearish signals. Market sentiment remains cautious amid mixed technical signals.

Analysis
The IBEX 35 trades at 19,051, down 0.22%, with the RSI-14 at 44 indicating neutral momentum. The index remains below key SMAs (20d: 19,257; 50d: 19,624), reinforcing near-term bearish pressure, though the 200d SMA (18,633) provides a broader bullish anchor. Resistance levels at 19,495 (R1) and 20,008 (R2) cap upside, while supports at 18,930 (S1) and 18,015 (S2) offer downside buffers. Multiple double-top patterns (50-95% confidence) suggest bearish reversal risks, corroborated by descending trendlines (20d resistance: 19,318; 50d resistance: 19,576). A break below S1 could accelerate declines toward S2, while reclaiming the 20d SMA is needed to neutralize near-term weakness.

Analysis
The FTSE MIB trades flat at 49,076, showing minimal movement (+0.01%) amid weak momentum, as the RSI-14 at 33 remains in oversold territory. The index remains below key SMAs (SMA20 at 50,325, SMA50 at 51,563, SMA200 at 49,262), reinforcing bearish pressure. A confirmed Double Top pattern (94% confidence) suggests further downside potential, with immediate resistance at R1 (50,214) and support at S1 (45,246). Descending trendlines highlight persistent selling pressure, with the 20-day resistance at 49,826 capping upside attempts. A break below the 200-day SMA (49,262) could accelerate declines toward S1, while sustained weakness in RSI and bearish SMA alignment favor continued downside bias.

Analysis
The AEX Amsterdam trades at 1,135, up 0.10%, with the RSI-14 at 53 indicating neutral momentum. The index remains above key SMAs (20d: 1,125; 50d: 1,113; 200d: 1,052), reflecting a bullish medium-term trend. However, multiple Double Top patterns (95% and 50% confidence) suggest potential bearish reversals near current levels. Immediate resistance is seen at the 20-day ascending trendline (1,152), while support holds at 1,128. Broader support levels are at 1,092 (S1), 988 (S2), and 944 (S3). The convergence of bearish patterns and ascending trendlines signals caution, with a break below 1,128 potentially triggering a pullback toward lower supports.
