Channel broken a bit early, but could indicate bear marketMy call on CAC40 is changed from long to neutral now that global markets are increasing their fear on a global slowdown. This is evident in markets around the world as Asian markets plunged today as did European. US is set to be down as well. Overall, the channel break is incredibly disheartening for those expecting higher gains as it was a huge move down (3 percent). If you were not in this trade closer to the bottom, you may have missed your chance. If you didn't sell before this dip then you may have made some money. For those shorter-term traders, you may have already missed the train. We could get back in this channel tomorrow, but that seems unlikely. I'm actually more neutral to short than neutral, but Trading View only gives us three options so I prefer not a drastic shift from long to short. Let's see what happens over the next few days.
What is the next target of #CAC 40 ?The trend of the CAC 40 in recent years is an uptrend.
in October 2011 the Cac has undergone a technical correction of 1200 points and then very quickly he returned to his upward trend, in October 2015 after a long rise the Cac has made technical correction of 1000 points pretty much like the first time and quickly took it back bullish trend, in October 2017 the Cac has made a technical correction of 800 points and at the moment it is in progress and normally should be redone as the last two completed times a rise is exceeded the last record price.
The Cac will seek a goal to reach and the point of the Double Top (6100) in 14% of the current price is probably possible
