CAC 40 Bounces From Weekly Lows

(Created using Marketscope 2.0 Charts)

Intraday values of support and resistance include today’s S3 pivot found at 4,344.71. As prices have bounded off of this level, the Index is now trading near resistance at 4,378.99. This point is represented graphically as the R3 pivot, and if price breach this value it opens up prices to test the next value of resistance at 4,396.18. A move through this point would graphically suggest that the CAC 40 is breaking higher, after trending lower all week. Alternatively, bearish breakouts may begin under the final value of support at 4,327.43. A breakout below this point would place the CAC 40 at new weekly lows, and suggest that prices are ready to resume their current trend lower.
