UniCredit and Commerzbank: The Challenge of the European Megaban UniCredit SPA (Ticker AT: CRDI.IT) has taken a significant step by acquiring a 9% stake in Commerzbank AG (CBK.GE), sparking speculation about a possible merger between the two European giants. This move marks a milestone in UniCredit's ambition to consolidate its presence in the European banking market. Commerzbank’s shares have risen by more than 18% since the news, reflecting market optimism about a potential consolidation. Key Obstacles to the Merger: 1. Resistance from the German Government: The German state, which holds a 12% stake in Commerzbank, might insist on maintaining a national listing and a supervisory board in Germany due to the bank's strategic importance to the German economy. 2. German Unions: Unions in Germany may strongly oppose the merger, concerned about potential layoffs and the shift of power from Frankfurt to Milan. 3. Deutsche Bank's Interest: There is a possibility that Deutsche Bank, Germany's largest bank, could revive its interest in Commerzbank, further complicating the situation. 4. Shareholder Concerns: UniCredit's shareholders, who have seen a 230% increase in their earnings over the past three years, may fear that a merger could impact profitability, even though UniCredit has promised to maintain a 15% return on investment. Despite these challenges, UniCredit CEO Andrea Orcel is determined to push forward with his ambitious consolidation plans, which could significantly transform the banking sector in Europe. Technical Analysis: Looking at the chart, Commerzbank AG experienced a slowdown in its rise at the end of May, reaching €15,825. After some attempts to recover at the end of July, the stock showed an upward gap, potentially signaling another attempt to reach its historical highs. Meanwhile, UniCredit had a relatively consistent rise until July, reaching €39,330, when its price fell, but it is in the process of recovering towards its highs with current support at €35,615.

CBK is short of ((E)) to make this expanding flat completedSeems like CBK is forming another correction in cycle where now it's short of ((E)) to make this expanding flat completed. When the market opens I'm expecting the price will retest the down trendline again before continue bullish movement to make ((E)). That way I will have the most advantages to open buy order.Longby Bl4ckmonday1611
Commerzbank is still under valueCommerzbank is still under value and banks usually should take profit with rising interest rates and inflation. A entry with a little bit cheaper price could be a good entry for a long time investment. Commerzbank management has much to do, but is on a good direction. Integrating the comdirect could give a digitalization boost, hopefully.Longby smoki990

Technical outlook: CKB.de bullish scenario:Technical outlook: CKB.de bullish scenario: We have technical figure Triangle in German company Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft (CKB.de) at daily chart. Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft is a major German bank operating as a universal bank, headquartered in Frankfurt am Main. In the 2019 financial year, the bank was the second largest in Germany by the total value of its balance sheet. The bank is present in more than 50 countries around the world and provides almost a third of Germany's trade finance. The Triangle has broken through the resistance line at 11/11/2020, if the price holds above this level we can have possible bullish price movement with forecast for the next 61 days towards 5.584 EUR. Our stop loss order should be placed at 3.960 EUR if we decide to enter this position. Fundamentals: - Germany's Commerzbank CBKG.DE swung to a third-quarter loss, as it dealt with fallout from the coronavirus crisis and continued a restructuring programme. Commerzbank has been under pressure from one of its largest shareholders, the private equity investor Cerberus, to carry out an overhaul.The bank was left leaderless over the summer when the chief executive and chairman stepped down to give Commerzbank a fresh start. by greenforexsig10
