The DAX index remains inside of long-term rising channel (A), no doubt this trend remains in play, higher lows and higher highs. In April of last year the DAX hit the top of rising channel (A) and peaked in early April, which started a series of lower highs and lower lows, since then.
The DAX seems to be influencing key markets around the world ever since. The DAX peaked around 6-weeks ahead of the S&P 500 last year and many global stock markets have “look alike” patterns ever since.
