Deutsche Bank: A Repaired Franchise Still Trading on CyclesExecutive Summary: Deutsche Bank currently trades at a single digit earnings multiple and offers a dividend yield near 3.7 percent, which at first glance looks attractive. But bank valuations depend on what profitability looks like across a full credit cycle, not just during favorable periods. The bank’s improvement to roughly 11 percent return on tangible equity shows real progress, though it does not yet point to sustained economic excess returns. Margin of safety verdict: the evidence does not clearly demonstrate a durable 20 percent discount to intrinsic value. One Stock, Dozens of Voices: This assessment is not built on a single analyst’s view. CrowdWisdom reviewed 33 independent sources for DB (8 professional trader videos (YouTube); 20 financial research articles (web); 1 live market intelligence feeds; 3 prior CrowdWisdom analysis snapshots (internal archive); 1 verified financial data checks (Yahoo Finance)) and distilled the broad consensus: where traders, investors, and researchers broadly agree, where they diverge, and what may still be overlooked by the market. Those perspectives were then pressure tested by setting opposing interpretations against each other. A bull case, a bear case that challenges the prevailing narrative, and a review of what expectations are already embedded in the current price were all examined. Financial metrics were also cross validated against live market data. What follows highlights where views align, where they break apart, and whether the stock provides a genuine margin of safety at today’s price. Business Quality and Moat Durability: Large universal banks operate in a competitive environment where regulation itself functions as a major barrier to entry. Global banking licenses, capital requirements, compliance systems, and the operational capacity to move trillions of dollars through financial markets make it extremely difficult for new competitors to emerge at scale. Deutsche Bank’s most defensible franchise sits in corporate banking and transaction banking. Multinational companies rely on the bank for cross border payments, treasury management, trade finance, and foreign exchange services. These systems become deeply embedded within corporate operations, and switching providers often requires years of operational work along with regulatory approvals. That creates meaningful switching costs. The bank also retains a significant role in fixed income trading and global capital markets. Only a small group of global banks possess the balance sheet strength and regulatory clearances needed to provide derivatives, hedging, and structured financing services to institutional clients. Even so, the moat is better described as stable than expanding. U.S. competitors such as JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs dominate global investment banking and consistently generate structurally higher returns on capital. Meanwhile, European banking markets remain fragmented and tightly regulated, which limits profitability. Moat verdict: STABLE but structurally capped by regulation and competition. Return on Invested Capital (ROIC): Traditional ROIC analysis is not particularly useful for banks because their balance sheets consist primarily of financial assets. For financial institutions, return on tangible equity is the closest proxy to economic returns on capital. Deutsche Bank reported return on tangible equity around 11 percent during 2025. Revenue for the first half of 2025 reached roughly 16.3 billion euros, representing about 6 percent growth year over year, while management maintained its full year revenue target near 32 billion euros. From a value investor’s perspective, the key issue is whether that 11 percent return actually exceeds the bank’s cost of equity. For European banks, the cost of equity is generally estimated around 10 to 12 percent depending on macroeconomic conditions. That suggests Deutsche Bank is likely earning roughly its cost of capital rather than generating meaningfully higher returns. Businesses that only earn their cost of capital can remain viable and return some cash to shareholders, but they rarely compound value at exceptional rates. The restructuring that began in 2019 reduced expenses, exited weaker trading businesses, and redirected focus toward more capital efficient segments such as transaction banking and advisory. If that discipline holds, incremental returns could remain around current levels. Still, regulatory capital rules remain a structural constraint. Basel requirements force banks to hold substantial equity buffers against risk weighted assets, which limits leverage and therefore caps potential returns. Quality of Earnings: Assessing earnings stability is one of the more difficult parts of bank analysis. Reported free cash flow can swing dramatically as balance sheets expand or contract. Available figures show a shift from negative 29.1 billion euros in 2024 to positive 46.6 billion euros in 2025. That level of volatility does not necessarily signal manipulation, but it does illustrate how banking cash generation depends heavily on asset growth, funding flows, and market conditions. Trading income is another variable. Deutsche Bank remains significantly exposed to fixed income and derivatives markets. These businesses perform well when market volatility rises or when institutional trading activity increases. When markets are quieter, those revenues can fall quickly. For investors trying to normalize long term earnings, some of the recent improvement should be treated cautiously as potentially cyclical rather than structural. Capital Allocation Scorecard: Capital allocation has improved materially compared with the previous decade, when legal settlements and restructuring costs consumed large portions of the bank’s capital. Management now emphasizes returning capital through dividends and share buybacks instead of pursuing acquisitions. The bank executed roughly 1.6 billion euros in share repurchases during 2025 and continues to target more than 8 billion euros of cumulative capital distribution to shareholders. The dividend yield currently stands near 3.7 percent, which is meaningful but not unusually high for a bank. The real test of discipline will arrive during the next credit downturn. Many banks maintain buybacks and dividends during strong periods only to suspend them once credit losses rise. Capital allocation grade: B minus. Customer and Revenue Concentration: Banks rarely have the kind of customer concentration risk seen in technology vendors or industrial suppliers. Deutsche Bank serves thousands of corporate and institutional clients worldwide. The more relevant concentration risk appears in counterparties. Investment banks interact heavily with hedge funds, asset managers, and leveraged corporate borrowers. During market stress those relationships can generate multiple forms of pressure simultaneously: credit losses, trading losses, and declining fee income. Derivatives exposures also create dense networks of financial relationships that are difficult for outside investors to fully analyze. Management Alignment: The leadership team that initiated the 2019 restructuring deserves credit for stabilizing the institution after years of strategic drift. Cost reductions, business exits, and tighter capital discipline helped restore profitability. However, insider ownership remains modest compared with founder led companies or many technology firms. Executive compensation at global banks is typically built around salary, bonuses, and deferred equity rather than large personal ownership stakes. As a result, management incentives tend to focus on regulatory capital targets and near term profitability rather than long horizon owner style compounding. 10-Year Durability Test: For a decade long investment horizon, the real question is whether the global banking structure will still look broadly the same. Several forces could reshape the industry. Regulatory pressure continues to influence profitability. European banks have historically operated under stricter capital requirements than their U.S. counterparts, and further tightening could place additional limits on returns. Fintech disruption is another factor. Payments, consumer lending, and other basic financial services are increasingly handled by digital platforms and technology companies. Private credit markets have also expanded rapidly. Private lending funds now compete directly with banks in corporate financing, particularly in leveraged loans. Despite those pressures, certain banking functions remain difficult to replicate without a large regulated balance sheet. Complex derivatives trading, cross border corporate financing, and institutional treasury services still require the infrastructure and regulatory permissions of global banks. The most likely outcome is that universal banks remain central to the financial system but continue to operate with moderate profitability and pronounced cyclicality. Predictability verdict: moderate. The industry will exist in ten years, but earnings power will remain tied to macroeconomic cycles. Multi-Year Thesis (3 to 7 years): Base Case Scenario Assumptions: Return on tangible equity stabilizes near 10 to 11 percent Revenue grows slowly around 2 to 3 percent annually Cost discipline maintains cost to income ratio near current levels Estimated intrinsic value: 32 to 40 dollars per share Probability: 50 percent Bull Case Scenario Assumptions: Transaction banking expands fee income significantly Interest rate environment remains supportive for net interest margins Return on tangible equity rises toward 13 to 14 percent Estimated intrinsic value: 45 to 55 dollars per share Probability: 25 percent Bear Case Scenario Assumptions: Global credit downturn reduces trading and investment banking revenue Credit losses rise and return on equity falls toward 6 percent Valuation compresses toward distressed European bank multiples Estimated intrinsic value: 18 to 25 dollars per share Probability: 25 percent Probability weighted intrinsic value estimate: roughly 35 dollars per share. Margin of Safety Verdict: With the stock trading near 31 dollars, the probability weighted intrinsic value estimate suggests limited upside relative to the potential downside. More importantly, the available dataset lacks several important valuation anchors such as price to tangible book value comparisons and normalized free cash flow estimates. Without those inputs, it is difficult to establish a clear 20 percent margin of safety. From a disciplined value investing perspective, the stock does not currently pass the margin of safety threshold with high confidence. Peak Margin Stress Test: Bank profitability often peaks late in credit cycles when loan losses remain low and capital markets activity is strong. If capital markets revenue were to fall roughly 30 percent during a downturn while credit costs reverted to recession levels, return on equity could compress back into the mid single digits. Historically, European banks under those conditions tend to trade around 0.6 to 0.8 times tangible book value. That combination of weaker earnings and multiple compression could lead to substantial downside even if the bank remains solvent and operationally stable. Valuation Framing: At a trailing price to earnings ratio around 8.7 and a forward multiple near 5.8, Deutsche Bank appears statistically inexpensive compared with the broader market. However, low valuation multiples are common in banking because earnings are volatile and leverage amplifies economic cycles. For the stock to re rate higher, investors would need confidence that the bank can sustain double digit returns on equity throughout an entire credit cycle. Perception vs Reality: Perception The bank completed its turnaround and now represents a stable European financial franchise. Reality The turnaround appears genuine, but profitability still relies heavily on capital markets activity and the broader global credit cycle. Why This May Be Misunderstood: Markets often extrapolate recent improvements too far into the future. After several years of strong earnings, cyclical businesses can start to look structurally stronger than they really are. For banks, the real test of business quality tends to occur during recessions when loan losses rise and trading revenues decline at the same time. Three Measurable Things to Watch Next Quarter: Return on tangible equity and whether it remains above 10 percent. Credit loss provisions which provide early warning signals of borrower stress. Capital ratios and regulatory buffers that determine how much capital can realistically be returned to shareholders. Historical Conviction Drift: Over the past several years investor perception of Deutsche Bank has shifted from crisis risk to cautious optimism. The restructuring lowered operational risk and restored profitability. At the same time, market discussions increasingly focus on systemic risks tied to private credit markets and shadow banking. Banks remain connected to those markets through financing relationships and derivatives exposures, creating layers of uncertainty that traditional financial statements may not fully capture. Disconfirming Evidence: The strongest argument against owning Deutsche Bank is structural. European banks have historically struggled to sustain returns above their cost of capital for long periods. Regulation, fragmented markets, and capital requirements have consistently held profitability below that of U.S. peers. If that pattern continues, the bank’s low valuation may reflect justified skepticism rather than a genuine market mispricing. Risks: Severe global credit downturn causing large loan losses. Regulatory tightening that forces banks to hold higher capital buffers. Loss of investment banking market share to larger U.S. competitors. Complex derivatives exposures creating unexpected counterparty losses. Legal or compliance penalties resurfacing from past activities. Summary: Deutsche Bank looks more like a repaired institution than a fundamentally transformed one. The restructuring improved efficiency and restored profitability, but the underlying business still moves with credit cycles and capital markets activity. The shares appear inexpensive on headline valuation metrics. Still, cheapness alone does not create a margin of safety when earnings are cyclical and balance sheets are complex. Investors who specialize in bank analysis may see moderate upside if profitability proves durable. For generalist value investors, the uncertainty around normalized returns likely keeps Deutsche Bank in the too hard pile until a clearer margin of safety appears.

Deutsche Bank Setup: Watching for a Short‑Term Bounce Above $29Current Price: 28.47 (Analysis was generated on Monday Morning) Direction: LONG Confidence level: 42%(Very limited direct trader commentary about Deutsche Bank stock; decision based on price near support and lack of bearish signals in available snippets.) Targets Target 1: 29.30 Target 2: 30.00 Stop Levels Stop 1: 27.80 Stop 2: 27.20 Key Insights: Here's what's driving this setup. The professional trader discussion barely touched Deutsche Bank stock directly, but several traders referenced Deutsche Bank in macro commentary about gold markets and institutional outlooks. That tells me the trading community still views the bank as an influential macro player, even if short‑term chatter around the stock itself is quiet. Because the trader snippets didn't provide explicit price levels or direction for the equity, I looked at positioning instead. At $28.47, the stock sits relatively close to short‑term support zones seen in recent trading ranges. When information is limited like this, positioning matters a lot. Traders often step in near lower range levels for a bounce trade. What's interesting is the lack of strong bearish pressure in the available signals. When sentiment is quiet but price holds near support, short‑term rebound trades often appear as liquidity returns. Recent Performance: Deutsche Bank has been trading around the upper‑20s after a strong multi‑month recovery across European banking stocks. The move higher earlier this year cooled off recently, leaving the stock consolidating near the $28 area. Volatility has tightened, which usually precedes the next directional move. This kind of compression often attracts short‑term traders looking for quick breakouts above nearby resistance zones. Expert Analysis: Several professional traders watching European financials have pointed out that banks like Deutsche Bank remain tied closely to macro conditions — especially interest rate expectations and capital markets activity in 2026. Right now, what I'm seeing in the chart is a stabilization phase. Momentum indicators from broader market analysis show selling pressure flattening out. When that happens near the lower end of a short‑term range, bounce trades toward round numbers — in this case $29–$30 — become common. Another factor: European bank valuations remain relatively attractive compared to U.S. peers. That tends to attract dip buyers whenever the stock drifts toward support. News Impact: Recent financial news hasn't delivered a major catalyst for Deutsche Bank specifically, but the broader banking environment remains supportive. Higher interest rates in Europe continue helping bank net interest margins, which supports earnings expectations for 2026. At the same time, geopolitical tensions and sector rotations into energy and defense — which several traders discussed — can temporarily pull capital away from banks. That likely explains the recent pause in the stock's momentum. Trading Recommendation: Here's my take: this looks like a short‑term bounce opportunity rather than a strong trend trade. I'm taking a LONG bias because the price sits close to support and selling pressure appears to be fading. A move toward $29.30 could happen quickly if buyers step in, and a break above that level opens the door to $30.00 this week. Risk management is key here — if price slips below $27.80, the bounce thesis weakens, and I'd exit before deeper downside develops. So the play is simple: buy near current levels, target the $29–$30 zone, and keep stops tight.

Are we forming a top on $DB?Those of you who've joined my Monday Market Update over the years will know that I don't have the highest regard for Deutsche Bank. I'll save my reasons for another day (over a beer). Regardless of my views and bias ultimately were only interested in whether it provides us with an opportunity, and DB has been in a good weekly trend for the last 2 years, having traded from $10 up to $37 over that period. The question is: has the trend run its course? The price action over the last 3 months has been inconsistent. I would call this a Stage 3 price action (with a nod to Stan Weinstein). On one side we have a broadening formation building, and then on another we have a double top over the last month or so. What I note is that the weekly 20 Period Moving Average (Blue) has provided excellent dynamic support over the last year so. Will that continue? If it does then I'd want to see us bounce and move to new highs. However if it fails and the 20 flips then I'd see us moving down to at least $30 (which would then be running into the weekly 50 period Moving Average).

Deutsche Bank AG to 21 EuroDespite the chaos with Credit Suisse European banks in General are printing some excellent setups. What is the reason for this? No idea. On the above 2-month chart: 1) A strong buy signal (not shown) prints with price action breakout from resistance that has been active since 2007. 2) Regular bullish divergence. No less than eight oscillators this time. Four to five oscillators printing on this time frame is incredibly powerful but eight?! 3) Inverse head and shoulders pattern. Confirmation is price action closing above 10.50 and staying there or above for a week or two. On confirmation a target of 21 euro should be expected. 4) The yellow line is the 21/2-month EMA. Notice the first attempt to hold as support has failed? (Orange arrow). This was the first attempt to hold as support since July 2005. Confirmation of support is price action at 10.50 and above by the month of May. 5) Almost EVERY idea on tradingview is 'short' / Bearish! Ww is the 5%. What in? Is it possible price action falls further? Sure. Is it probable? No. Ww Type: Investment Risk: <=6% of portfolio Timeframe: Don’t know. Return: 110% Stop loss: 7.20

Deutsche Bank: Unlocking New Heights!Deutsche Bank AG ( NYSE:DB is currently trading at $17.48 , reflecting a slight decrease of 0.11% from the previous close. Our proprietary quantum probability indicator signals a strong buy, suggesting a favorable outlook for the stock. The technical chart reveals a bullish flag formation, characterized by an initial surge to the $17.20 resistance level, followed by a consolidation phase. A decisive breakout from this pattern indicates potential for continued upward movement, with a mid-term target of $24.31 . From a broader perspective, the development of a cup and handle pattern is evident. This bullish continuation pattern suggests a long-term projection above the major resistance at $27.28. Recent developments further support this positive outlook. Deutsche Bank has shifted its stance to "overweight" on European equities, citing lower interest rates and expectations of a strong corporate earnings season amid an improving political landscape. Analysts highlight that Europe offers the most attractive equity risk premium among developed markets, with the European benchmark index projected to rise by 15% by the end of 2025 . Additionally, Deutsche Bank's CEO, Christian Sewing , has emphasized the need for structural reforms and reduced regulations to enhance Germany's economic competitiveness, which could positively impact the bank's performance. In summary, the technical indicators and recent strategic positions of Deutsche Bank point to a positive trajectory, with significant upside potential in both mid-term and long-term projections.

Deutsche Bank (DBK): Earnings beat but loan losses double We missed the optimal entry for Deutsche Bank (DBK), but the analysis was accurate overall. The earnings report showed some resilience with a revenue increase of 5.2% year-over-year, reaching €7.50 billion, slightly above analyst expectations of €7.30 billion. The stock reacted with a modest dip, but nothing significant. However, Deutsche Bank reported a notable rise in loan losses, which doubled to €494 million in Q3 2024 compared to €245 million a year ago, aligning closely with the €482 million forecasted by analysts. From a technical standpoint, our primary count still appears valid, though it’s a bit on the lower side. This could indicate that wave 3 might not be the longest wave in this count, which is atypical but possible as long as it’s not the shortest. We’re targeting a potential endpoint for wave 5 within the HTF resistance zone, aligning with the 50-61.8% Fibonacci extension level, where we could look for a long position if the setup confirms. We will continue to monitor DBK closely as this potential target level nears and adjust accordingly.

Deutsche Bank (DBK): A Perfect Reversal?Our analysis on Deutsche Bank (DBK) dates back to June, but we've continued to monitor the stock closely for you. We saw that DBK respected the last possible level within our targeted area, which was aligned with the level of Wave 1. Typically, for a Wave 4, we don't want to see the asset linger too long in this area, but in the case of DBK, it only dipped into it briefly before reversing, showing a strong and positive reaction. We now anticipate a surge above the Wave 3 level, which would also push the stock above the trend channel. Such a conclusion to this cycle would be a very bullish sign, likely leading to a deeper pullback in the overarching Wave (2). At that point, we would definitely consider buying shares as the setup looks promising for long-term gains.

Deutsche Bank AG (DB): Potential Sell-Off Ahead?Analyzing the Deutsche Bank AG on the German Stock Exchance XETR, we observe a repeating pattern involving two trend channels. In both instances, the trend channels were respected and behaved as expected. In the first case, the price exited the trend channel and then retested it almost perfectly. In the second instance, the price overshot the trend channel briefly with a wick above but quickly retraced back below it. This overshoot indicates significant weakness, suggesting a potential stronger sell-off in the near future. Zooming into the volume since 2020, we notice that the current range has seen low volume, indicating minimal buying interest at these levels. The buying interest appears to be much lower. Zooming into the Deutsche Bank AG 12h chart, we see that the level of the larger Wave (1) at €14.64 is being respected and held for now. However, we anticipate a sell-off down to the range between €13.50 and €12.50. Falling below this range is not expected, but if it occurs, the next likely support would be between €10.50 and €9.30. From an Elliott Wave perspective, it would be unfavorable if Wave 4 were to fall into the territory of Wave 1. While brief wicks below are acceptable, a prolonged stay in this range would not be ideal and is not our primary expectation. We also observe that the RSI is showing signs of being overbought. There is a bearish divergence forming, with a lower high on the RSI and a higher high on the price chart. This divergence suggests that the recent price movements might lead to further declines. In summary, while the €14.64 level is currently holding, we expect a potential sell-off to the €13.50 to €12.50 range. A further decline into the €10.50 to €9.30 range could occur but is less likely. The bearish RSI divergence supports this outlook, indicating potential downward pressure in the near term.

5 Stocks To Consider For May 20245 Stocks To Consider For May 2024 Time flies, especially when things are running smoothly, and this year so far has been a period free of dramatic events across the capital markets. Suddenly, we are almost halfway through 2024, and the forthcoming month takes us up to that point. During the first part of 2024, scepticism and trepidation gave way to hope and optimism as analysts cast their theories that central banks across the Western world may look toward reducing interest rates a few times. This turned out to have been an incorrect prediction, and rates remain unchanged, meaning companies still need that extra cash flow to grow or show greater revenues, which is currently being used to service monthly commitments at high interest rates. It has not impeded progress, however. Some of the world's most prestigious indices have been performing outstandingly, giving rise to the notion that large corporations are, in many cases, in good fiscal order. Talk of recession has faded into the background as the FTSE 100 in London (UK 100 on FXOpen) ended April with a massive rally, and across the Atlantic, the S&P500 (US SPX 500 Mini on FXOpen) and NASDAQ (US Tech 100 mini on FXOpen) ended the month in a strong position. Here are five stocks to consider for May 2024. 1) 3M In today's world of high-tech internet stocks in which Silicon Valley giants dominate, it is easy to overlook North America's heavy industrial corporations, which remain at world-leading magnitude and have a long history of producing high-quality items used daily by private individuals and commercial enterprises. One such company is 3M, which was founded over 122 years ago in New Harbor, Minnesota. 3M stands for Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing and is a clever play on an acronym based on these three words. Most Americans, and no doubt many Europeans, will know the 3M brand and will have seen it printed on everyday items such as adhesives, films and tapes, whereas many employees of heavy industrial companies will see it on materials used in manufacturing processes. 3M stock has demonstrated an interesting dynamic over recent years, having made a steady decrease in value ever since the middle of 2021. Apart from a few minor corrections over the past three years, 3M stock has decreased in value from $203.86 on June 1, 2021, to $91.98 at the close of the US trading session yesterday, April 29, 2024, according to FXOpen pricing. Despite this continued downtrend, 3M stock is among the most traded US stocks on FXOpen's TickTrader platform this morning. Just three weeks ago, news reports abounded stating that 3 M's stock losses had been a major factor in a 300-point fall in the Dow Jones index. According to S&P Market Intelligence, 3M shares rocketed in value by 15.1% in March this year, bucking the overall trend of the past three years, but this was not sustained, and the longer-term view shows this to be a mere blip in an overall decline. Given that it is being traded very actively, this is a big-cap stock to watch. 2) Deutsche Bank At the top of FXOpen's' Top Fallers' list at the end of April is Deutsche Bank, whose shares have been demonstrating a degree of volatility over recent days. Germany's largest bank, which is also one of the largest global investment banks and FX interbank dealers by market share, has ridden out its fair share of woes over the years, but has sustained its position well. This month has been interesting for Deutsche Bank as it suddenly rallied to 16.69 Euros on April 26 according to FXOpen pricing, as reports of its highest quarterly profit in as much as 11 years were announced. This was short lived, however, and Deutsche Bank stock dropped significantly in value on April 29 as matters relating to the litigation surrounding the bank's acquisition of PostBank began to resurface. The litigation alleges that Deutsche Bank underpaid when acquiring compatriot PostBank, and has thus far been a long, drawn out affair. It hit the news once again on April 29 as reports began to emerge estimating the potential cost to Deutsche Bank could be as much as 1.3 billion Euros should Deutsche Bank be ordered to settle. The sudden upward direction in Deutsche Bank shares created by the positive quarterly earnings followed by a sudden drop a day later as the magnitude of the potential cost of settlement of the PostBank litigation has made Deutsche Bank stock a volatile giant. 3) Tesla Tesla is one of the world's most traded stocks and is widely understood as a disruptive tour de force within the technology and automotive industries, which it straddles. Often Tesla stock is considered among those to watch, but mainly due to the company's less orthodox method of operation compared to the established Silicon Valley giants that its stock is often compared to, such as Microsoft, Google or Apple. This time, however, those with a penchant for Tesla stock have something genuine to look out for because the company's flamboyant and polarising CEO, Elon Musk, has been in China, the world's largest automobile market and home to the manufacturing base of a huge number of automotive industry participants. Whilst in China, Elon Musk has been working closely with regulatory authorities to gain approval for the use of Full Self-Driving (FSD) autonomous software in every region of mainland China. Government officials in China have given 'watershed' approval to the use of autonomous driving, and as a result, Tesla stock has been rocketing in value. Such is the Chinese government's trust in Tesla's autonomous driving system that Tesla will use Chinese tech company Baidu's street-level mapping data to power the autonomous 'FSD' system. As the US trading session closed yesterday, Tesla stock reached $193 per share according to FXOpen pricing, a significant increase over the $144.53 closing price a few days earlier at the top of the candlestick on April 23. 4) PVH Luxury and fashion conglomerates in Europe have been the centre of attention for many years now, especially given that LVMH, the French giant that owns a large number of European luxury goods manufacturers, is one of the largest corporations in the world, and its CEO Bernard Arnault is the officially recognized richest man in the world. On the other side of the Atlantic, however, things are less buoyant and PVH, which is the owner of many North American clothing brands such as Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Warners and True & Co., has been experiencing a rapid fall in share price value. At the beginning of April, the company's outlook for the rest of the year was written off as 'disappointing' by many media outlets, and shares dropped by as much as 20% at the time. This has not recovered, and PVH shares have been in the doldrums throughout April, languishing at $112.67 per share at the close of the US session on April 29, according to FXOpen pricing. It is currently one of the 'Top Fallers' across the stock markets on the FXOpen TickTrader platform. 5) Harley-Davidson Volatility among long-established household names and world-famous brands is relatively rare, especially if the company concerned remains true to its roots with the products it produces. For this reason, it is perhaps interesting to see Wisconsin's famous motorcycle manufacturer, Harley-Davidson, among the 'Most Volatile' stocks within FXOpen's TickTrader platform currently. Harley-Davidson Motor Company was founded in 1903 and still operates from its original home town of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It manufactures premium motorcycles and has built a long-standing trust and following among its client base, who are often willing to pay a much higher price to own a Harley-Davidson than to accept a product from the competition, who are often seen as imitators. Harley-Davidson has played a clever hand at keeping up with modern technology whilst retaining its image for a specific type of motorcycle, an example of which was the introduction of its fully electric 'LiveWire' model in 2020. Harley-Davidson stock began the month at $43.58 per share, but arrived at a low point of $35.17 at the close of the US trading session on April 29 after an overall downtrend during April with some added volatility near the end of the month.

Deutsche Bank: Next Big Leap Ahead? Starting our analysis for the Deutsche Bank chart at the Corona low of $4.45, we have since seen an uptrend developing with a Wave (1) and already a Wave (2), placing us in the overarching Wave (3). Within this Wave (3), we're looking for potential entry points. We've also developed Waves 1 and 2 and are currently, as seen on the 4-hour chart. We want to enter at the end of this coming wave ((iv)). We expect to reach between 38% and 50% retracement, with the possibility of hitting 61.8%, but not much lower, as we would need to invalidate the scenario if the price falls into the level of Wave 1 for an extended period. Looking upward, we set our target at a minimum of €16.16, which corresponds to the 161.8% extension. The chart clearly shows that we are experiencing lower highs and equal or lower lows. Thus, we believe there will be a downturn before the price moves higher. Our entry zone is at $11.37, with our stop-loss just above $10, but also just below the invalidation zone.
