The CAC 40 has broken out higher this morning, above critical resistance at 4,505. So far, the Index is trading up +1.21% on the session, with Peugeot having the largest daily advance of +3.43%. Today’s technical breakout is significant, as it invalidates a declining trendline that has been acting as resistance for the last month of trading.

Intraday, the CAC 40 has blown through all values of short-term resistance so far. Despite this rapid advance in price, traders should continue to monitor today’s R4 pivot at 4,471.50. While this value was acting as previous resistance, it may now be considered short-term support for the Index. Traders may elect to maintain a bullish bias as long as the CAC 40 remains above this point. Alternatively, in the event of a bearish reversal, traders may consider this morning’s breakout invalidated below this point. It should be noted, that in the event of a bearish reversal, the next values of short-term support include 4,462.50 and 4,444.50.
