CAC 40, Daily Consolidation
(Created Using TradingView Charts)
Traders looking for a continuation of the daily channel depicted above, may continue to wait for a breakout in the CAC 40. A bearish breakout below 4,473.40 will allow traders to target the channel support line near 4,340.00. Alternatively, bullish breakouts outside of the range open the Index up to test channel resistance under 4,600.00. In the event that prices breakout above longer term resistance, a move about the standing monthly high at 4,606.70 may suggest the beginning of a new bullish uptrend.
