Technical analysis suggests continuation potential toward 25,000, but ECB policy uncertainty, trade tensions, and energy dependencies require careful risk management. Favor tactical trading over strategic positioning until clearer European policy direction emerges. Monitor ECB communications, German economic data, and trade developments as primary market drivers.
