Prices have modestly rebounded from today’s low at 4,062.80, and are now trading back near the S4 pivot point at 4,086.19. If prices continue to trade under the S4 Camarilla pivot, it opens the Index up to trade to new weekly lows. Bearish breakout targets for the CAC 40 may be found by extrapolating a 1X extension of today’s trading range. This places initial targets for the Index near 4,261.70.

In the event of a bullish price reversal, traders may look for the CAC 40 to trade back inside of today’s trading range. Today’s range is depicted above, and begins as the S3 pivot at 4,116.50 pivot mentioned above. A move to this value would be significant, as it would suggest that bearish momentum for the day has at least been temporarily stymied. In this scenario, traders may begin to look for price action to trade towards values of resistance. That includes range resistance found at 4,177.11 and the R4 pivot at 4,207.41.
