Technically, the CAC 40 has closed higher in four of the last five trading sessions. With today’s advance, prices are now testing the previous March 2016, which resides at 4,582. A breakout above this point would be considered substantial, as the next point of resistance is found at the yearly high at 4,653. Alternatively, if prices remain under resistance, it opens up the Index to move back towards monthly lows. Currently the April low stands at a price of 4,211.
