Deutsche Bank (NYSE: DB) share price has made a spectacular recovery in the past few months, helped by the soaring interest rates and the company’s turnaround strategy. The stock has bounced back by 86% from its lowest point in 2022, making it one of the top DAX index performers. Further, Deutsche has outperformed the SPDR Bank ETF.
Deutsche Bank had a strong quarter, helped by the soaring interest rates and a sharp decline of deliquencies in Germany. Its profit before taxes came in at €5.6 billion while its net profit was about €5.7 billion. The company has also lowered its cost structure, with the cost-to-income ratio being at 75%.

Let us go back to a few months ago, when the DB stock price formed a double-bottom pattern at $7.53. This pattern is usually a great reversal pattern. The shares moved above the neckline of this pattern at $9.52, which was also the 23.6% Fibonacci Retracement level.
Now, the Deutsche stock has risen above the 61.8% Fibonacci level. Notably, the shares have formed a golden cross pattern on December 20th. In price action, this pattern is usually a bullish sign. At the same time, the Money Flow Index (MFI) has moved slightly below the overbought level.
Therefore, with the European Central Bank (ECB) set to deliver more rate hikes, there is a likelihood that the shares will continue soaring as buyers target at $16.75, the highest point on February 2022. A stop-loss of this trend will be at $12.
